The Doreen Valiente Foundation & The Centre For Pagan Studies are very sad and sorry to announce the passing of our founder and chairman, John Belham-Payne, on the morning Monday 15th February 2016.
The plans that John had been working so tirelessly towards for the past few years will absolutely go ahead just as he wished and the work of the Foundation, while all the poorer without his huge presence, will absolutely continue - the work is, as John said many times, more important than those who carry it out.
John Belham-Payne 1952 - 2016. RIP
John's family has asked that, in keeping with John's wishes, people might like to donate to the John Belham-Payne Memorial Fund instead of sending flowers.

John came to realise that "the right thing" was to form a charitable trust (The Doreen Valiente Foundation) and donate the entire collection to the trust so that it could never be split up, sold or used for personal profit and it could be properly preserved, protected, researched and made accessible to the millions of people whose lives have been influenced, whether they know it or not, by Doreen Valiente.
Doreen made posthumous history once again in June 2013 when the city of Brighton and Hove awarded her a blue plaque to commemorate her life and honour her achievements. The plaque is the first in the world awarded to a Witch and the building upon which it has been placed, where she lived for many years in Brighton, is thought to be the first council block in the UK to have a blue plaque as well, making double history.
Doreen Valiente remains, simply, the most influential woman in the world of modern Witchcraft. Her fame and achievements are only surpassed by her popularity and
