Gardnerian Tradition Contacts in America by Brigantia Stone, revised 15 January 1999 Here listed are contacts for some of the Gardnerian groups in America; web addresses  given in [italics] are  located outside the Beaufort House domain, and will require the use of your borwser's 'back' button to return here. It is important to bear in mind that many (and, indeed, the vast majority  of) Gardnerian groups do not have a presence on  the Internet. We are mindful of our charge as the Hidden Children of the Goddess. As such, Gardnerian web-sites tend to have a short lifespan, as study groups or outer courts  fill for each year's training cycle.  Access to Traditional information The Gardnerian Public Relations Forum has recently been established at: http://www.gardnerian.com/ The following description is taken from this web-site: Until now, there has been no publicly owned organization for the followers of the Gardnerian tradition to speak about their own  tradition. This organization has been formed in order to provide a forum whereby Gardnerians can  represent themselves and their own ideas. This site is dedicated to providing information of a non oath-bound and outer-court  nature as a public service. We do not represent the whole of the Gardnerian tradition, and the ideas we express  here do not speak for whole of the Gardnerian tradition itself. Most Gardnerian Witches choose to remain hidden  from the public eye because of the threat of religious persecution and/ or a simple desire for privacy. What we do represent  are authentic Gardnerians who have a desire to address some matters of common concern to many within  our tradition. We will not be answering any questions directed towards the learning of our "oath bound" material. This issue  is what is oath bound is tricky, for every person interprets the oaths they take on a  personal level and different covens within our tradition interpret things according to their own insights as well. We seek to honor all of these  insights, however, there is a good deal of overlap between the various spiritual  paths. Covens and training groups Following are contact listings for some of the many Gardnerian teaching groups in America.
