“One thing in my profile that has raised more questions than any other is this particular “dislike”:
“People who say Wicca was invented 50 years ago by Gardner (or Crowley)…”
Many are confused and mystified by the statement. After all, the idea that “Gardner made it all up” has been repeated so often that (far too) many accept it as established fact. While arguments in this direction may be persuasive, it is far from a done deal.”

I just read your article. Very insightful. I think you will really enjoy the book I just finished called Wicca Magickal Beginnings by David Rankine. It gives proof of all the things which are before Gerald Gardner but which is in Wicca. It is very interesting and shows that Gardner could not have made it up even if he tried.
