Wiccan Roots is Philip Heselton’s important study of Gerald Gardner and the origins of the modern Witchcraft revival. Drawing on years of research, Heselton examines Gardner’s involvement with naturism, folklore, esoteric groups, the Crotona Fellowship, the New Forest coven, “Old Dorothy” Clutterbuck and Dafo, Gardner’s High Priestess.
This is one of the key modern works on early Wiccan history and the development of Gardnerian Witchcraft. It is especially useful for readers interested in Gerald Gardner, the New Forest coven, the Witchcraft revival of the 1930s and 1940s, and the roots of modern Pagan Witchcraft.
