The New Zealand Witchcraft Research Society

Record summary

A New Zealand group identified in some occult and witchcraft histories as the Witchcraft Research Society offers a lead into the country’s pre-internet coven and esoteric-study networks. If confirmed in period newsletters, advertisements or interviews, it could document how Wiccan ritual, folklore research and ceremonial magic were presented locally. The name is sufficiently specific for archival checking but should not be accepted from memory alone, because similarly named societies and informal covens existed. Its activities, membership and dates remain particularly important verification points.
