Gavin Bone is an author and lecturer in the fields of magic, witchcraft, Wicca and Neo-Paganism, and an organizer in the Neo-Pagan community. He was born in Portsmouth, Hampshire in England, in 1964. He trained as a registered nurse and has studied complimentary healing methods such as reflexology; he’s also a practicing spiritual healer. He was initiated into Seax-Wicca in 1986, and has appeared at various events in the Neo-Pagan community, including the Starwood Festival (with the Farrars) in 1995. He is currently developing the theory that Wicca "may have" some roots in tribal shamanistic healing traditions, as apposed to medieval ritual magic.

Gavin Bone first met Janet Farrar and Stewart Farrar in 1989 at a Pagan Conference in Leicester, from where they struck up a friendship. He accompanied them on a tour of the United States in 1992, and on their return he moved over to Ireland as their business partner. He joined the Farrars as part of a polyamorous marriage, and has continued in both the personal and professional relationship since Stewart's death in January of 2000. He has co-authored several books with the Farrars, and acts as the production manager of their latest moves into video.

As the Farrar’s business partner in 1996, Gavin was responsible for setting up their WebPages - "http://gofree.indigo.ie/~wicca/". This has since developed into the “Pagan Information Network”, a contact network for Pagans across the Republic and Northern Ireland, for which Gavin and the Farrars are the primary coordinators.

Gavin Bone and Janet Farrar are active members in The Aquarian Tabernacle Church Ireland and have links with several covens in the United States, Australia and New Zealand and Europe. They run a progressive coven in Ireland called Coven Na Callaighe which is part of Teampall Na Callaighe which includes as an open worship group (Clan Na Callaighe).
