“This earliest form of Wicca was originally just called the Witch Cult, Witchcraft, or, later, “the Wica.” Eventually it came to be called “Gardnerian,” after its founder (or promoter, depending on your perspective). The label was actually meant to be disparaging, applied by Robert Cochrane, another Witch who began writing after Gardner, making similar claims of belonging to a surviving Witchcraft Tradition. But the name stuck, particularly since this increased openness about Witchcraft meant that other kinds of Witches could be public. It didn’t take long for Gardner’s Wicca to split into or simply inspire other kinds of Wicca.”

“Traditional witchcraft is regional witchcraft, it is not and never has been a standardised practice and long may this continue to be the case. The day witchcraft loses regional variation is the day traditional witchcraft ceases to exist”

— Gemma Gary, Traditional Witchcraft: A Cornish Book of Ways (via windvexer)
