Gardner, the influential figure behind modern Gardnerian Wicca and one of the most important names in the twentieth-century Witchcraft revival. First published in 1960, the book presents Gardner’s life, travels, magical interests, and role in bringing modern Witchcraft into public view.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"857\" data-end=\"1231\"\u003ePublished under the name J. L. Bracelin, the book has long been associated with Jack Bracelin, one of Gardner’s initiates, though later commentary often notes the involvement of Idries Shah.
