This second file I'll lay on the table is a HISTORY OF WICCA IN ENGLAND: 1939 - present day circa [1991]
This talk was given by Julia Phillips at the Wiccan Conference
in Canberra, 1991. It is mainly about the early days of the
Wicca in England; specifically what we now call Gardnerian and Alexandrian traditions. The text remains "as given", so please remember when you read it that it was never intended to be "read", but "heard" and debated.
If this history would be of use to you, send me an Answers e-mail with an e-mail address to which I can attach the file. The file is too many characters to post on Answers.
If there is enough interest I'll continure to modernize more files and put up questions as to who might want them. No, there are no strings attached. This kind of thing goes with being an Elder and Librarian of the Lore

Unfortunately, I'm sure your intentions are good, but with the risks of computer viruses, info exchange, and stalking, I'm sure many people are going to pass your offer. You are, after all, unknown to them and I sure you wouldn't be waisting your time posting here if you were going to be malicious but personally, I wouldn't take the risk. Some of these things, after all, can happen by accident! Maybe you should post what you've found on geocities? Then folks could look at it without having to do the personal thing.

Yes, Wicca is only 50 something, but that does not mean it is not a legitimate religion. You cannot be Wiccan very long without finding out it 's history.
We cannot know exactly what our ancient brothers and sisters actually practiced and believed since Christians almost succeeded in destroying most of the old religions, but the modern versions of worship is just as good.

Why not just hit the highlights for us on this piece of literature? What is your question? Most Wiccans already know the history of Gardnerian and Alexandrian Trads----do you think you have found something new? It doesn't sound like it. I will respectfully pass!

Is this the text that you're referring to? This is the 2004 revised version that is on the Gerald Gardner site. It's very long but interesting.

Actually, there are quite a few interesting articles on the site:

Fishy. I think I'll pass. Forgive me, but I don't consider some random person on Answers to be a credible source.
