“I had always believed there was Craft before Gardner. (No offense to Gardnerians intended, I assure you, as my Craft lineage comes partially from that direction.).”
Before Wicca was apparently some cult in a forest Gardner stumbled upon that dealt with Pan, Dionysis, and Artemis. And there was also Aradia: Gospel of the Witches which has a lot of Christian influence. And Margaret Murray, but she hasn’t been a credible source in over a century or so.
Witchcraft, however, has been around for hundreds of years if not longer, so yeah.
No offense to Ravenwolf intended, of course.
