Witchfather

A Life of Gerald Gardner

by Philip Heselton

A two-volume biography of Gerald Gardner, the founder of modern Wicca, tracing his colonial career in Asia, his interest in folklore and naturism, his New Forest initiation and his public promotion of witchcraft in the 1950s. Heselton draws on extensive documentary sources. It is the most comprehensive account of Gardner's life and an indispensable resource for anyone studying the history of Wicca.
