Term: Protean Family

DEFINITION:

Lineal descendants of Proteus Coven that was located in New York City. During the early 1980s, Judy Harrow founded the coven as part of the Gardnerian tradition. By the early 1990s, Harrow declared the Protean Family to be a “self-aware subgroup” of the Gardnerian line, although some Gardnerians no longer considered them part of the tradition.
