In 1876 the family moved into one of the neighbouring houses, Ingle Lodge, and it was here that the couple's third son, Gerald Brosseau Gardner, was born on Friday 13 June 1884.

The most well known version is that written by Gerald Gardner, and includes material paraphrased works by Aleister Crowley, primarily from Liber ALThe Book of the Law ( particularly from Ch 1, spoken by Nuit, the Star Goddess ), and from his Liber XV: the Gnostic Mass as well as Liber LXV ( Liber Cordis Cincti Serpente, or the Book of the Heart Girt with the Serpent ), thus linking modern Wicca irrevocably to the cosmology and revelations of Thelema.

It is believed to have been compiled by Gerald Gardner or possibly another member of the New Forest coven.

The Neopagan religion of Wicca publicly appeared in the 1940s, and Gerald Gardner introduced the Book of Shadows as a Wiccan Grimoire.

tradition in the neopagan religion of Wicca, whose members can trace initiatory descent from Gerald Gardner.

Any valid line of initiatory descent can be traced all the way back to Gerald Gardner, and through him back to the New Forest Coven.

Gerald Gardner himself actively disseminated educational resources on folklore and the occult to the general public through his Museum of Witchcraft on the Isle of Man.

When the Witchcraft Laws were replaced, in 1951, by the Fraudulent Mediums Act, Gerald Gardner went public, initially somewhat cautiously.

The pioneers of the various Wiccan or Witchcraft traditions, such as Gerald Gardner, Doreen Valiente and Robert Cochrane, all claimed that their religion was a continuation of the pagan religion of the Witch-Cult following historians who had purported the Witch-Cult's existence, such as Jules Michelet and Margaret Murray.

According to Sabina Magliocco, Gerald Gardner says ( in 1959's The Meaning of Witchcraft ) that The Horned God is an Under-god, a mediator between an unknowable supreme deity and the people.

Valiente offers another explanation for the negative reaction of some neopagans ; that the identification of Lucifer as the god of the witches in Aradia was " too strong meat " for Wiccans who were used to the gentler, romantic paganism of Gerald Gardner and were especially quick to reject any relationship between witchcraft and Satanism.

The " father of Wicca ", Gerald Gardner, who adopted Margaret Murray's thesis, claimed Wicca was a modern survival of an ancient pan-European pagan religion.

Murray's ideas proved highly influential over the ideas of Gerald Gardner ( 1884 – 1964 ), an English Wiccan who founded the tradition of Gardnerian Wicca in the 1950s before authoring the books Witchcraft Today ( 1954 ) and The Meaning of Witchcraft ( 1959 ).

Murray's ideas nevertheless exerted great influence on certain pagan currents ; in the 1940s, Englishman Gerald Gardner claimed to have been initiated into a New Forest coven.

The figure at the forefront of the burgeoning Wiccan movement was the English esotericist Gerald Gardner, who claimed to have been initiated by the New Forest coven in 1939.

Although Gerald Gardner, a key figure in Wicca, was arguably homophobic this historical aversion is not now commonly held.

This practice may stem from the influence of Gerald Gardner who wrote ( ostensibly quoting a witch, but perhaps in his own words ): The witches tell me ' The law always has been that power must be passed from man to woman or from woman to man, the only exception being when a mother initiates her daughter or a father his son, because they are part of themselves ' ( the reason is that great love is apt to occur between people who go through the rites together.

Gardner was rumored to be homophobic by Lois Bourne, one of the High Priestesses of the Bricket Wood coven: Gerald was homophobic.

Whilst nudity and the practice of witchcraft have long been associated in the visual arts, this contemporary ritual nudity is typically attributed to either the influence of Gerald Gardner or to a passage from Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches, and as such is mainly attributed to the Gardnerian and Aradian covens.

In particular, Gerald Gardner, who first popularized Wicca in England, was a noted folklorist with an interest in Far Eastern culture who spent much of his adult life in Ceylon and Burma, so it seems very plausible that he could have been familiar with this Hindu term.
