Griffin Ced is a founder of the Temple of Ced and for the past 30 years has been the Witch-Father of the Ced Tradition, a family/clan-based British Traditional Witchcraft line. The Tradition today is spread over the USA with multiple Covens, including the original Temple of 30 years. Griffin was first initiated into the Old Craft in 1975 in Britain, where he was born and raised.
It is easy to see that Griffin is a true Son of Olde Horny by his heretical and sometimes irreverent approach to all areas of his life as a Witch. He is well-known for his informative, insightful classes and powerful rituals and events. For the past 13 years, Griffin has also worked to build community as a manager of The Green Man Store in Burbank, Los Angeles CA, which is a vibrant hub of Old World Craft.
Having been strongly prompted from both sides of the Veil to publish some of the work, practices, and legacy of the Ced Tradition, Griffin decided that his first work would be a version of a tarot deck (aka The Devil's Picture Book or The Book of Dame Fate). His deck is based on the cosmology of Ced–an expression of the Witches’ Compass–rather than the cosmology of Arthur Waite, which is rooted in the Kabbalistic Tree.
His life’s ambition is to go kicking and screaming to his grave having made a difference to people who seek a larger spiritual cosmos of wonder!
