The Middle-Class British Man That Founded Modern Witchcraft | Britain's Wicca Man | Timeline
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2017
- Britain’s Wicca Man tells the extraordinary story of Britain's fastest growing religious group - Wicca - and of its creator, an eccentric Englishman called Gerald Gardner.
Historian and leading expert in Pagan studies, Professor Ronald Hutton, explores the unlikely origins of modern pagan witchcraft and experiences first hand its growing influence throughout Britain today.
Gardner’s story and the story of Wicca itself is a bizarre one. The film tells of a peculiar man who saw that the world was ready for a new religion based on magic, sex, nature and ritual - and gave it to us. Documentary first broadcast in 2011.

Phil Cadey I think it gives people a chance to learn, especially those who were made to believe it was “evil”. Perhaps through content like this, we, like myself, learn, it’s far from what we were taught.

This video is not true just by the title. a man never created witchcraft. But historically Men take credit for things they didn’t make or create- but rather saw someone else do. Shakespeare stole all of his stories from a black woman who would tell stories to children in a neighboring area. Witchcraft is started by women. do some research and see the history of divination and witchcraft and everything started in Africa. It started in Africa by WOMEN.
My grandma was a Wiccan. I didn't know until now that the practices that she performed was considered witchcraft. As a child I witnessed her success in healing myself and other people. She was not an evil person . She was a loving giving lady. She helped people who lived in her town. A doctor was not always around. She delivered so many babies. She died in 1964. I miss her every day. Thank you for sharing this program!
Your grand mother was not a witch she was a natural tradetional healer🇧🇼🇧🇼
As was my mother and father he was forced to war 2 he became a medic saving any human even Germans >>but before 1953 you could not say it was then that Winston Churchill REMOVED the Witch craft act
@@chankibernard5894 did you not know that witches were usually the community healers?
@@eyemnew2991 Amen.
@@eyemnew2991 Witches are my healers.
He didn’t MAKE witchcraft. Witchcraft has been around for much longer than him.
Do you know who? or at least where it was influenced?
It starts waaay back before king Solomon, it’s called occult because it’s secret but we can see in the uk that magick has been here before we ever knew anything about any gods, it comes from djin, those djin where later made into demons and angel by the west as magic evolved.
Today modern practitioners can take a long old ceremony and refine it down to something modern and useful out of it, that’s what this doc is about.
Hope I helped
He mainstreamed it. The reason hot topic pentagram earings exist is because of him.
@@CynicalLight Not just him but yes he helped to main stream it and refine it. Thing is thou I believe you're giving him to much credit as he took these things from various sorces same as other practitioners that all used things like the pentagram, my point is if you're going to say that he is the reason we have pentagram earings you must also say this is true for people like Crowley and Mathers.
@@CynicalLight Love the user name btw, the story of Diogenes is one of my favourites. :)
I've seen Ronald Hutton in other documentaries, and I always like his presentation. I appreciate that he is highly knowledgeable and soft-spoken, with a gentle approach to other people.
He’s a precious decent person, I agree with you.
Really fun seeing Ronald Hutton hosting this! Also funny how the script has him acting like he hasn't written multiple scholarly books on the subject.
Yeah and acting like he’s never participated in a magical ritual before 😂
You know it's England when they say it's sunny and the sky is completely cloud covered
but the guy is speaking on Calton Hill in Edinburgh *shrugs
It should be understood that witchcraft is far, far, far older than the cult of christianity and accepted by the majority....

What a fantastic documentary. It was very informative. I had no Idea Wicca was born England. It was very well written and the presenters voice was lovely to listen to. Thank you
I met my beloved husband 30 years ago. He was practicing Wicca and had an altar in his second bedroom. I asked about it and he just told me not to touch it, that it was religious. I ended up asking him 3 times before he handed me Raymond Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft (or, as several call it "Uncle Bucky's Big Blue Book.) I went through it and did all the exercises in a week, came back and asked for more. We did my dedication the night of Samhain (Halloween) we were handfasted (married by a priestess) and a year and a day later we did my initiation. I had a coven that worked through to third degree before we hived them off. I was a representative and assistant director of the biggest Pagan organization in Texas. I've pretty much stopped doing ritual because the exercise of the energies tires me out due to disability. But, I still do rituals in my head and heart, still honoring the God and Goddess and the Elements.
I’m from Texas also. How awesome that you practiced your beliefs. Wish you were still able to.
I have a couple of friends who practice Wicca…a couple of the best people I know!
May God save us soul .u was misled and introduced by ur husband divorce him get away n search for god

Wicca pulled me out of a suicidal slump, honestly.
"Whereas other faiths say this is what you should feel about the divine, this one says this is how you can feel divine". Very telling that.
"For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and *ye* *shall* *be* *as* *gods* knowing good and evil" Genesis 3:5. Very telling indeed. It's the same rehashed unoriginal garbage Satan has been deceiving our kind with since the very beginning and like fools we fall for it again and again.
We have had 4000 years of this particular doctrine and what a lovely world it has created. It is time we grew up.
Caroline Barnes As a Wiccan high priestess, I felt that "...this one says this is how you can feel divine" was the most inaccurate statement I heard during the entire program. It really puzzled and saddened me why Dr. Hutton said it, because it just doesn't represent how Wiccans feel or what we're up to. We are actually very humble people who never aspire to becoming divine or usurping the gods in any way. We look for Flow. We make ourselves available to serve. We listen and watch for portends in Nature. We honor and venerate All that makes life on this planet possible. To allude that we seek to have power over people or events outside of our own lives is a gross misrepresentation of our intents and goals, and anyone detected behaving so would be talked to or shunned. I am really disappointed in that closing of this documentary... it was sensational, it was a sound byte, it sounded spooky, but it was not the truth.
Caroline Barnes said "We have had 4000 years of this particular doctrine and what a lovely world it has created. It is time we grew up." What a refreshing use of irony. Nicely said, Ms. Barnes. Blessed Be!
Thank you for your comments, Leananshae. I totally understand where you are coming from and am in complete sympathy with it. There is a lot of confusion around this issue of human divinity and what it means. I practice kundalini yoga as taught by yogi Bhajan and a mantra that was given as an Aquarian age mantra is 'God and me, me and God are one.' I have seen that this can often create a reaction similar to what you expressed, that this is a statement about power and its uses and misuses, and as such people feel very uncomfortable with it. When I teach this in my classes I explain my understanding of this which is to do with energy fields. We all exist within a field of consciousness which traditionally we have called god, imagining the old man with the beard in the sky judging us. According to the shamans the body exists within the mind, and similarly we exist within the mind or energy field of god. We cannot be separated from infinity, we exist within it. For the last few millenia human beings have been suffering a delusion of separation to greater of lesser extents, and this has spawned other delusions such as power and its uses, projecting this out onto 'God' or 'gods' which are actually just projections of our own fears within this delusion of separation. I have not studied or practiced Wicca but I have always understood it as a benign method of staying in the flow of the divine or infinite energies whilst living in a finite system.
I don't understand how people can be so bashful of wiccan cultures, it's a religion to some. It's not about satanism it's about connecting more to nature.
because it takes away from GOD.. I am not christian btw.. but in the bible it says "have no God before me" it also mentions not worshiping idols, such as statues, stones, and imagery.. basically anything that ISN'T done in the light of God, done for God and the warship of ONLY that God of the bible is a sin. Anything NOT God AUTOMATICALLY = anti God = Satan, if it isn't in the bible from God it isn't of God. Also Having another religion in an area that is mostly populated by another religion threatens the areas original religion because it might sway the minds of other people causing numbers to dwindle and control of ideals to crumble. that't just my thought of it anyway..
Jiji Poid thanks for the input I guess that is the thoughts of most
Currently Ghosting bashful?
Jiji Poid The "original religion" was paganism. Don't be stupid. How can Wicca take people away from God, if we see God in nature? You're such an ignorant fool.
It's mostly evangelical Christian preachers that try to brainwash others into thinking Wicca is evil in hope that Wiccans would cease to exist. Today, we're talking about preachers like Pastor Steven Anderson. These hate preachers try to revive Christianity in the West and promote its sense of religious supremacy. So, in order to achieve that they tell you all sorts of twisted stories to demonise Wicca and Wiccans.
This was much better than I thought it would be! Thanks!
I was part of the campaign for the Pentacle on military graves! One of my favorite things I have ever worked for! Selena Fox is the leader of Circle Sanctuary in Wisconsin, USA.
The host is very respectful of all of this and it's pretty heartwarming to listen too. I think I'll be watching more of his shows.
@Duc de Richleau what does that matter?
You should meet him and his interests outside of his profession may surprise you. ;)
Maggie East I agree
@Duc de Richleau it doesn't matter if he believes it. All that matters is that he respects it.
He wrote a whole book on modern Paganism called Triumph of the Moon.
I respect this guy because unlike other documentors, he takes. The ritual seriously and does not joke about it. He respects the wishes of the wiccans.
^ he also goes in great detail about Gernold Gardner and Traditional Wicca I didn't even know we had his BOS that's insane~ i wish I could read it honestly it'd be amazing!!
Silica you’re a witch and don’t know of the book of shadows? I destroy witches and I know about that crappy book.

@@Ali-ei8po Lmao
This was a very good description of the wicca ways and I've decided to buy a couple of the books by Gardner and Hutton to get a better idea about this. Should be interesting
why not buy a Christian Bible , and a few commentaries, and maybe info from Tom Horn and Michael Heiser while there's still time before the great dellusion is Full On. Should be interesting..
Superb documentary! Thank you very much for sharing your research with us!
People can bash Paganism all they like, it seems to me to be the most logical and archaic religion of all and I'm an atheist.
Targaryan GOT Thank You♡
Thing is, we don't make the mistake of personalising our gods. We give them pictures and idols so we can feel more connected to them, but know that they're of course no real persons. They are forces of nature, even within ourselves. And that is, why paganism sooner or later will win this fight.
lmao lmaoooooooooooooooo
Targaryan GOT Religions like Buddhism, Shinto and Native American seem very logical but to me Wicca looks pretty silly
雪山 Why?
snowwhitewitch Just some of the rituals, like drawing a circle with a magic wand seems more like Harry Potter to me than a religious practice that actually does something
But to each their own
What we need to understand is that the conflation of Wicca and witchcraft is erroneous at best, and disingenuous at worst. It's true that Gardner referred to his tradition as "Witchcraft," but the fact of the matter is, they are two different things - Wicca is a religion, witchcraft is a practice that transcends religion. There are tons of witches out there who do not at all appreciate being equated with Wiccans. Therefore, no, Gerald Gardner did not invent witchcraft; he invented Wicca. Anyone who wishes to learn more about these things need to learn the difference between the two as early as possible in order to avoid confusion.
Thank you for this information, much appreciated, you have given me a view that has provoked my thinking and open my mind a little more, yes and you have fed my curiosity to learn more in the area of spirituality 🙂👏
@@lesperonis1146 100% BS! They all have the same practices. Witchcraft aka Wicca aka Freemasonry is just sun worship copied from Babylon. This is why in History of Freemasonry they say Nimrod is the first grand Master mason. All you guys do is astro project and work with demons. This is Babylonian mystery religions. All paganism is the same worldwide
@@exposeevil5492 I subscribed to your channel
I agree, Ken.
@@exposeevil5492 Oh my. Talking out your neck...lol
The people who taught me some aspects of what is called witchcraft, in 1972, 73, 74,were a family that emigrated to the U.S. in the mid 1800's . Theres lots of differences from Wicca and traditional family Witchcraft. But, some teachings and spiritual practices are very similar. Not the same but Gardner had resources.
I'm glad that Gardener paved the way, to help bring US our of the "broom closet". Blessed be .
Just to clear on this All Wiccans are Pagan but not all Pagans are Wiccan. I am Pagan but I am not Wiccan.
I am pagan but not wiccan as well.
im Pagan but follow the Druid path
This is very accurate

Crowley's favourite activity was abusing and murdering children. Anybody who admired him must have been a complete idiot without any morals.
Spirtitualism is taking off in the west coast of the U.S. as well. So much that in Arizona certain Psychedelic plants, like Peyote are now legal for religious use. And in Oregon' magic mushrooms' are legal for therapeutic use, in " retreats", in the woods.
I think useing these enthrohens is a big help in experiencing what the ancients got out of nature. They are like the telescope and microscope of spirituality.

Fantastic man and I love how the universe uses us all and some more so to open new paths ❤
Nah you’re just uneducated
The Church gave u schools, universities, hospitals, orphanages, homeless shelters etc etc. What exactly did witchcraft give the world? Nothing! The Church is much maligned by ignorant people. It changed the world for the better.
This title is misleading. Witchcraft has been around for centuries of not millennia. Remember the church's campaign to kill witches?
@Tiget Lily Satan n his fallen angels have been around since first humans. I guess you maybe right, he did manipulate the word n convince woman to do an act that changed history. Cause n affect Ohhhh!

Most of us don't practice skyclad (naked) anymore. It's been found to interfere in people's concentration and it's pretty uncomfortable during Fall and Winter. Plus, we really love "donning garb", or getting all dressed up in rich garments and accoutrements.
Sir Cardinal "Please repent and turn to Jesus. What's about to come upon this earth... you don't want to be here."... What? And spend eternity with self-righteous, interfering, frightened born-agains like you??? No thank you... I'll take my chances here, on this beautiful, wondrous planet you disdain so much and honor the gods who have provided all and never asked for human sacrifice (yes, JC is a human sacrifice). Enjoy your sad, scary religion. You have more than enough to deal with reconciling yourself to your angry unpleasable god, Yahweh, to go around bothering people with your rude evangelism. Blessed Be!
Leananshae: Wow, very well said!!!
British Texan ;) Thank you and Blessed Be!
With all due respect, not all of us Christians are "self-righteous, interfering, frightened born-agains." Our love for others is what spurs us to share God's gift with them. Granted, some come off more eloquently than others at time.
Bethany Horvatin I know you mean well, but good intentions are not an excuse for shoving your religion on others. "Help that is not asked for or agreed to, by definition, is interference." It doesn't matter whether you're eloquent or not... being rude is being rude. How would you feel if I came onto these comments and "eloquently" started espousing the veneration of The Horned One and spoke of The Great Rite? You'd freak before you ever bothered to go look it up and probably feel pretty offended. If you aren't already seeking Wicca, I would never confront you with why you should want to be Wiccan. It's unethical. Listen: If your god wants me, he'll find a way to make me convert. Have a little faith in what you espouse. In the meantime, please go away and take care of the state of your own soul and leave people alone with theirs. Blessed Be!

As a Catholic girl and as a person of part British ancestry, i initially found this somewhat "confronting & even scary". Why? Bec i know not enough about it, although i have tried to educate myself in the past. My Father did own a very interesting book about "white witches" & that, was my first introduction relating to this broader topic. I remember flicking through the many pages & was so intrigued, interested, albeit, somewhat shocked & wanted to keep reading, but unfort, i didn't. I don't even know, if he still possesses this book anymore. I've found this documentary both interesting & enlightening. It's an important part of English history and who knows......Perhaps one or more of my British ancestors, may have even dabbled in &/or formally practiced witchcraft. I'm still doing deep research on my NW European ancestry, so let's see what i can find out. Thanks for sharing this documentary. My best wishes sent to all.
The Catholic Church is Luciferian anyway. Much of the pedophilia in the Catholic Church is connected to rituals.
I'm in a comparative religions class, and it's amazing to see the common threads the appear in most spiritual faiths, as well as some very key differences. At the core, I believe all people want to feel connection to each other, and also to something bigger than themselves.
I have to agree.
Believing in Jesus 8is the only Way ....

From what I’ve learned by talking to people practicing modern witchcraft, it’s mostly a connection to Mother Earth and nature.

Magic isnt a practice, its energy. Its understanding the flowing current of energy that is all around us and Wicca, paganism and occult religions all are tools to understand that.
As Aleister Crowley, To Mega Therion stated succinctly "Magick is the Science and Art of causing change, in conformity with Will.
Using energy, via ritual to manifest physically.
Energy is a concise well defined term of which is empirical measurable repeatable verifiable. This is a matter of faith, so I would just stick with magic or magical energy. Doing otherwise would be misleading.

OUR, BODIES ARE ORGANIC. WE CRAVE FOOD THAT COME FROM THE EARTH. WATER TO QUENCH OUR THIRST. SUN FOR VITAMIN C N D. OUR FLESH SHALL RETURN TO DIRT. IT IS VERY NATURAL FOR HUMANS TO FEEL GOOD IN NATURE. I FEEL THE MOST PEACE WHEN I'M IN MY GARDEN. BUT, I WORSHIP THE GOD/YAH WHO CREATED IT ALL....I ENJOY NATURE BUT WORSHIP ONLY YAHWEH. Every thing has a purpose...
Very interesting this is. As an open minded but strong in my Faith different type of Christian. I never judge any type of religion or practice of faith. I love to learn and soak up knowledge. It's a type of common respect for ALL that I always give to my fellow humans, cryptids, beasts of the field, and birds of the air. The kicker here with me is my great grandmother from Portugal in the late 1800s was a legit medium and sweet. I get loads of paranormal in my 53 years of life that has and still does happen. Even have witnesses of ravens and crows flying within feet of me and cawing at me. Get why I'm a UN judgemental open but faithful Christian. I didn't really ask for all the paranormal I endure and encounter. But I accept it whole heartly. Again great video. Thank you. With love. God bless.

20 years ago I was in Boot Camp at Fort Benning GA. On the first day the Drill Sergeant was yelling at us all. We were told Sunday mornings were our opportunity to go to church. If we were not religious we would stay in the dorms and clean. He then asked if any of us were Wiccans. One odd looking fellow raised his hand. Our Drill Sergeant leaned over to is counterpart and said "There's always one.” and giggled. He told the young man out loud "Well Sunday morning we'll put you in a room room by yourself and you can cut up a mattress or what ever you guys do". It was a good laugh before things got rough.

Dude, you lost me at "Wiccans are notoriously secretive."
Have you literally never been to a crystal shop?
lmao :)
@Jaques Studly yes. Democrats are well known for NOT being hippes and NOT acknowledging anything they cant count in dollars. If only there was a group of conservatives who would just murder and suppress any person and belief they didnt share! - I grew up Republican in Texas sweetheart. The only more judgemental and hateful people I've found with that philosophy are the same "Christians" who will turn their own children out if their children dont frow up to believe their conservative values. But way to show you should be the least respected response I've read on UA-cam in a long time.

Nice ta tas
Scientists have recently discovered 'Dark Matter', so now I'm connecting the dots. Dark Matter isn't necessarily good or bad. It is something that has always been in existence in the Universe. The intention of a particular person is different than the energy or resource of 'Dark Matter.' It is like asking the question if a knife is good or bad. It all depends on what are you going to use the knife for. So, in casting spells; people use it for good or bad, and in either case the energy will ultimately return to the original person who sent that energy. It is called the Law of Karma, Cause and Effect, Sow and You Shall Reap, Law of Attraction, etc. People make evil deeds, and they don't realize that they will pay the prize in triple form; in this life time or in a future life time. It is like trying to escape our own shadow. The payment method or payback isn't necessarily in the same way of how the evil deed was done. People wish ill or evil to others, but then they lose one of their relatives or they get into some kind of accident. Nobody gets away with anything; even if we think nobody is watching us. The universe doesn't take sides or has any favorites.
Nice try, but witchcraft and hypothetical "stuff" in intergalactic space do not have a lot to do with each other.
Exactly! And the discovery of Quantum Entanglement shows scientifically how taglocks work in Voodoo or Folk Magick.
Great analogy indeed....I think some quantum physicists would pay attn to that - or did I jst make an eedjit of myself? ....is that what it is? 😨 so-called dark matter, IS the spital outside of the material...we jst call it dark cos we can't see it from where we "are" - but that IS the light that makes us visible....dammit I'm stoned. Will 4get this in 5 mins ...🦂
Spiritual, not spital!!!!!

Does anyone know the music playing at @19:35 ? Such pretty and soft ethereal witchy music for spells. I am having trouble finding music this soft yet with female vocals.
I really enjoyed the commentator as well. He is quite a character.
this is a high quality well articulated, balanced, mature documentary
Bollywood Fan yes, and George Washington invented the Girl Scout cookie
swampmarcher stupid
Is that a girl scout that tastes like a cookie or a cookie that tastes like a girl scout?
bruh lady boywonder point was that this documentary is the complete opposite of what Bollywood Fan said it was
"empower politics bla bla bla made u look stupid in 3 ways lady boywonder." Yea and i'm the foockin gingerbread man. Get it?
Omg let them do voodoo
I like that he asks questions and participates, and he really talks about things properly, I think this was a really well made documentary
If you enjoy a bunch of half assed information. There are many things in here that are either half truths or false entirely. Like Aleister Crowley... he wasn't a Wiccan. He practiced in a more esoteric Magick circle called the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn before continuing onto darker occult Magick. They are NOT Wiccan. They are not pagan. Their Magick is a collection from global rituals that predate Christianity.
@@nefuros551 They explicitly stated that he practiced different, darker "witchcraft".
However, he does not even mention the inquisition. Without mention of this centuries long holocaust which put Wicca underground, this is not very well done at all.
Look out "End Times Productions" and watch some of their videos. You will understand just how full of s#it this documentary was..
Witch!
I heard Professor Hutton talk to the Theosophical Society in Bristol a few years ago. He is a good speaker and a good person.
I'd like to join a Pagan or Druid group, I believe in connecting with nature, and to see a Witch on a broomstick flying across the night sky would be fascinating ...🤔
You *do* know that they don't actually fly on broomsticks, right?
@@crimsoninfection6527 you may be right , but how does anyone know a witch somewhere has never used a Broomstick at some point 🤔...
@@Starchaser63 They do use broomsticks. Just not for flying. It's for both physical and energetic cleaning of a space.
@@crimsoninfection6527 thanks for acknowledging Witches exist , 👍
@@Starchaser63 I mean ofc they do
I'm so glad that they no longer kill us witches for our beliefs, not all of us are bad. I actually like this documentary.
Well in some places they do like the middle East. But we're lucky that most places don't anymore.
Lilac exactly why do you think the main stream glorifies witchcraft? You are not “woke” as a witch or a star worshiper “zodiac “ look at every Netflix show IT GLORIFIES WITCHCRAFT. What do they do about Christ they stay keeping his name in their mouths in vein, it’s disgusting honestly. You are not woke because some false witch reads your zodiac symbols of the day. You are woke as soon as you see Jesus Christ died for you sin and walking in HIS WAY , THE NARROW PATH is the path to safety and light. Wide is the door to destruction. You want to go that way? By all means you have the free will to choose. But if you really think woke is witchcraft you’re really mistaken. Jesus name still reigns across nations like its meant too because he is the savior. God bless you and may you find Christ before its too late
Non Non jesus is the truth.
@Non Non facts!!
Witches were literally never killed for their beliefs.
I've been researching paganism and Wicca because it's my boyfriend belief and I've been wanting to understand it and learn it's history. I have to say it's really interesting and I see why he believes in it

Wicca the religion is not "witchcraft". Stupidity has been around for thousands of years too
@@Trendkiller169 But it's based upon witchcraft. My grandpa is older than Wicca xd Trash religion hehe
It all comes down to intention. Just like sending prayers. Good and evil are the same energy it only matters how it is used with intention.
Actually, good and evil are not energies, atoms have energy, so do photons and electrons. However good and evil do not have energy, as they are not substances or things that carry energy.
@@1mol831 energies aren't limited to those things tho... energy can be a term describing something that is unseen and has an effect not just the energy fields that say atoms have.

Yes
Spin around (like a whirling dervish) clockwise(yang northern hemisphere/yin southern hemisphere) or counterclockwise (yin northern hemisphere/yang southern hemisphere) (torus spinning). Chant any of these mantras 3 times each while facing east, west, north(in the southern hemisphere) or south(in the northernhemisphere): "ieouah", "um"(like "from"), "aum" and "om". Sleep with your head placed east, west, north(in the southern hemisphere) or south(in the northern hemisphere). Stare into the flower of life before sleep. Perform the 5 Tibetan rites. Play music at 440hz, 528hz, 432hz, and 396hz.
Magnificent!! Beautiful!! This is how you feel divine!
That sounds like a pride issue waiting to happen. Can’t you see, you’re being played for a a fool.
It’s the same silly message they told in the garden, expect less fruit and more fancy looking wands.
You don’t want to seek “divinity,” it’s a dirty trick. We’re not better or even close to being as good and sound as God.
To pretend to do so is the exact polar opposite of the gospel, hence part of the reason why this religion is so dangerous.
Witch craft goes back to the begining of time .
Even the Old Testament Bible mentioned witches.
I read Bucklands book in the 90s .
I fallow a different path , I'm solitary and do not do ritual , I walk the woodland path , a natural way of belief and life .
As an African reading the title almost sent me to COMA😂😂😂😂😹 omg
Thank you!
Yes , because you still use the original meaning of Witch as an evil person who casts spells to harm. People are protected from them by witch doctors.
Gavin Reid no we don't ! I don't ! First of all witch means "sorcier" in French and for us sorcier and sorcières Don't even practice witchcraft. We call them marabout 💜💜I know better what we "use" better than someone on UA-cam who don't know what i "use" as meaning of the word.
@@Topofthetopapex some research shows there are real problem with these people in Senegal killing children for body parts to perform rituals. In west Africa people considered to be "possessed" by spirits are also murdered during ritual exorcism. What ever you call them ...
Gavin Reid we call these wicked people "feticheurs". They use ferish magic. Mainly in Nigeria and benin. In my country too. They are wicked ! I know better. Whatever u come up with I'll answer 🤣

Witches are around the world
no witches are wiccan
Wicca can not do that much alone but when You Partner It Up with Spirit & Love the Possibilities are Endless - The Counterclock Spiral is On & Gaia is Now with Us - This is how You can Feel Divine for All Things Permanently this Time Forever - and so It is - Blessings.
Oh yes we can. Well I can anyway..I am a solitary witch.. and I write my own spells and I am very good. I am a natural witch.. everything I do works and I do my ritual and spells myself..
So now I know what I am, and Why I miss the witches of Ann Arbor so much.

Stick to you religion of Evolution and worship that one single cell that appeared on earth after it cooled down from it's lava sphere, and created all life as we know it. It takes more faith to believe in that, than Almighty God.
@@ajaxslamgoody9736 Not a matter of believe, I have evidence. I did check it out, years ago, there is simply no evidence for the existence of any god, religions are man made.
I suggest you check out the historicity of religion and see for yourself.

@@Peter_Scheen If your religion is so amazing, why do you say Satan worshipping commits human sacrifice when yours has been killing my people for centuries because we think differently all to please your God?
I'll also point out that the religion was created AFTER your forefathers killed your savior on a bunch of wood, and now you worship the image of a cross.
Pick apart your own religion before you judge mine and plenty of others faith and beliefs.
It disgusts me that you have the nerve to judge and preach your lies uncontrolled just because your forefathers were snakes who killed, poisoned, waged war, and burnt villages to the ground to be able to do it.

My family has a long line of history on my mother's side of maternal witches, 3 were hung during trials and witch hunts. Back then you could be executed over little things. If a women was deemed smarter than a man she was a witch. Some of the reasons are so simplistic it's shocking.

I have had two Wiccan girlfriends in the past (one was a stunning redhead) and they were the hottest, sweetest, and most sensual women I have ever met. I got a lot of hate dating supposed 'witches' as a Muslim but I feel that they're beliefs and practices played a large part in them being that way and I respected that. The break ups were sad but we parted on good terms. What I'm trying to say is that Wiccan chicks will rock your world.

i adore this comment !
I love this comment idk why
LOL....Of Course, because everything is Sensual and Flesh bound to them, And then break up with you...Boo Hoo..
I am a green witch myself. It's been an amazing journey for the last two years when I started practising.
Like to learn more about all kinds of religions and beliefs. Great documentary about wicca and the founder. Bless his soul.
What things do you achieve? Is there a URL link confirming them?
Whatever happened to Grotbags?
This documentary is garbage. Wiccan witchcraft and pagan are in interchangeable labels.
Can you give me more enlightenment
Repent to your Allah or you will regret it deeply
I was introduced to wiccanism by my mother in law and wife, and it resonates with me. Though just like any religion, it has subsections and I dont agree with everything, but thats okay. You're free to practice.
May our ancient traditions never be lost! Spirituality is universal and God is everywhere and had been expressing himself before religion . Spirituality is the essence of religion.
Wiccan's are "notoriously secretive"? Sure if you don't count social medial, public parks and gardens, coffee shops, book shops, candle shops, parades, clubs, bars, colleges/university's and every community billboard in almost every employer breakroom. We don't recruit , but we are out and proud almost everywhere!
I see no reason for us Pagans to hide.
Lineaged, initiatory traditions of Wicca (such as Gardnerian Wicca) do still remain secretive to a large degree. Neo Wicca is a lot more open, depending on the person, or persons practicing.
MsMRumsey I can really put happy in you most important thing is trust
lol in England maybe
He's referring to the original Gardnerian and Alexandran traditions of Wicca
This is quite interesting to me!! I'm so glad you did this documentary, because, I've always been curious about the founder of Wicca!
"It's remarkably comfortable. Gerald was a practical sort of chap." I don't know what it is about that line, but it made me laugh.
*Great work WALE THE GREAT SPELL CASTER you indeed a great spiritualist*
I live near the New Forest and there is still a lot of Wicca practiced there
I like how he explores this in a very respectful way
Not all witches can “be out and proud”. Where I am in the southern US Christianity is so pro dominant that you are shunned if you come out as a witch.
Oh boy, here we go with the Wiccan stuff.
There's a lot more to neopaganism than Wicca.

You say yes to people, then you just dont make events of it.
They give you false information, then you eventualy seek the truth.
Mr. Hutton seems to pop up in some very cool documentaries, me thinks he may be Wiccan himself! Lol
He is.
Interesting. I need to know, does actual confirmation exist ? Is there a clear effect of a Wicca spell that could not be atributed to other causes ?

Pagan is just a label the "civilized" Christian world put on those who had a sufficiently different religion. The vikings of Scandinavia where pagans to the kingdoms of England who where years earlier considered to be pagans by the Romans who where once themselves Pagan. Every non monotheistic religion is considered a pagan religion and those who practice it are by definition pagans.
