Marian Green (born 1944) is a British author who has published about magic, witchcraft and the "Western Mysteries" since the early 1960s.
Born in London in 1944 but raised in a rural area, Green met other pagans after entering university at 29.
[1] Green rejects the idea, dominant in the period after the revival of pagan witchcraft by Gerald Gardner, that witchcraft needs to be coven-based and organised around formal initiations conferred by coven leaders.
[1][6] She teaches that the old divinities can be encountered in the natural world, alone and without prescribed ritual forms.
"[9][10] Green runs residential and non-residential weekends and correspondence courses, under the aegis of The Invisible College, which she founded.
