Stewart and Janet Farrar were both initiated by Alex and Maxine Sanders in 1970. After receiving their Third Degrees from the Sanders' they left Alex and Maxine's coven to form their own. They married in 1972 and moved to the Republic of Ireland in 1976 where they have lived and worked together as writers ever since. They have run a coven in Ireland continuously since then, although its structure and membership has changed radically from its original Alexandrian roots. They have since written Eight Sabbats For Witches', The Witches' Way (jointly published as The Witches Bible), The Witches' Goddess, The Witches God, Spells and How They Work, to name but a few. Their books have become some of the most influential in Witchcraft and have set the mould for modern Craft writers worldwide. Stewart Farrar passed away in February 2000.
