Universal Eclectic Wicca (UEW) is one of a number of distinctly American Wiccan traditions which developed following the introduction of Gardnerian and Alexandrian Wicca to the United States in the early 1960s. Its corporate body is the Church of Universal Eclectic Wicca (CUEW) which is incorporated and based in Great Falls, Virginia.
It is particularly noted for its early Internet teaching coven – the Coven of the Far Flung Net (CFFN),[1] and for its inclusive approach to solitary as well as coven based practitioners.
