Let’s Talk Witch – Modern-day Witches

 

Based on tradition, there are more male witches (yes, witches not warlocks) than females in some societies. Today, however, females dominate Witchcraft and Wicca, although the religion is not only for women.

Based on the studies, modern witches began to emerge through Gerald Gardner, and English archaeologist with a broad background in the Occult. He learned the secrets of the Malaysian magical knife while he lived in Southeast Asia. He then became a nudist and a Mason. When he returned to England in 1939, he became a member of the Corona Fellowship of Rosicrucians. He met Dorothy Clutterbuck, who introduced him to witchcraft.

Gardner wrote the book, “Witchcraft Today,” which implied that he did not come across a pre-existing coven. In addition, Gardner also wrote a paper that was published in Ripley’s Believe It or Not. He disclosed that he acquired his magical resources and some Western magical texts in Asia. In his paper, Gardner also disclosed that he created a new religion, which is primarily focused on the worship of the Mother Goddess.
From there, the focus of modern witchcraft is on the worship of the Mother Goddess as initiated by Gardner. His beliefs and writings were significantly influenced by Freemasonry, Theosophy, ritual and sex magic, and other occult sources resulting in the emergence of modern-day Witchcraft or Wicca.
