Gerald Brosseau Gardner

    Gerald Gardner was instrumental in bringing Wicca, a Neopagan religion, to public attention in Britain. An amateur anthropologist and archaeologist, writer, and occultist, Gardner claimed to have discovered and propagated a surviving pre-Christian pagan witch cult into which he had been initiated. Fearing the religion would die out, he actively spread it by initiating others and training numerous High Priestesses. His writings, including religious texts and novels, along with his Museum of Magic and Witchcraft, have left an enduring legacy on the modern Wiccan and Neopagan movement, earning him the title "Father of Wicca".
