Adriana Porter was an alleged witch. Porter's notability rests on a poem, The Rede of the Wiccae, which was published by her granddaughter Lady Gwen Thompson in Green Egg magazine in 1975 and attributed to her. It has become a semi-sacred text within the culture of Wicca. Thompson claimed that she had inherited her Wiccan beliefs and practices from Porter, who had summarised them in the poem.

  • Adriana Porter was an alleged witch. Porter's notability rests on a poem, The Rede of the Wiccae, which was published by her granddaughter Lady Gwen Thompson in Green Egg magazine in 1975 and attributed to her. It has become a semi-sacred text within the culture of Wicca. Thompson claimed that she had inherited her Wiccan beliefs and practices from Porter, who had summarised them in the poem. If this were true, it would confirm that the hidden practices of witchcraft articulated by Gerald Gardner in his books existed in independent traditions, uninfluenced by his writings. The true authorship of the poem is, however, disputed. Some evidence suggests that it dates from several decades after Porter's death.
  • Adriana Porter. Alegadamente, Adriana Porter fue una bruja. La notabilidad de Porter descansa en un poema, la Rede of the Wiccae, publicado por su nieta Lady Gwen Thompson en la revista Green Egg en 1975 y atribuido a Adriana. Este se convirtió en un texto muy importante en la Wicca. Thompson reclamaba que ella heredó sus creencias en la Wicca y prácticas de Adriana Porter, quien las resumió en el poema. Si eso resultara cierto confirmaría que las prácticas de brujería articuladas por Gerald Gardner en sus libros existieron en tradiciones independientes, sin influencias de los escritos de Gradner. La autoría del poema está en disputa. Algunos lo atribuyen a Doreen Valiente, la Rede Wicca.
