Documentary on Gerald Gardner & Wicca
The extraordinary story of Britain's fastest-growing
religious group - the modern pagan witchcraft of Wicca - and of its creator, an
eccentric Englishman called Gerald Gardner.
Historian and leading expert in Pagan studies Professor
Ronald Hutton explores Gardner's story and experiences first-hand Wicca's
growing influence throughout Britain today.
Born of a nudist colony in 1930s Dorset, Wicca rapidly grew
from a small New Forest coven to a worldwide religion in the space of just 70
years.
It's a journey that takes in tales of naked witches casting
spells to ward off Hitler, tabloid hysteria about human sacrifices and Gerald
Gardner himself appearing on Panorama.
