Gerald Brosseau Gardner invented Gardnarian Wicca.
卍 Gerald Gardner - England - 1954CE 卐
🟢
The modern fakeness:
🟢
Gardnarian Wicca (pronounced differently as "wickah") was popularised by Englishman Gerald Brosseau Gardner (1884CE to 1964CE), & it is from him and his work that we have the modern fictitious Wiccan (wickahn) movement of today.
Gardner referred to the polytheist witchcraft community as "the wica".
Charles Cardell (1895CE to 1977CE) was another charlatan like Gardner, & he coined the term Wicca, & referred to its followers as Wiccens.
Wicca (witcher) is not actually a religion, it is wizardry, & witchcraft.
Gerald Gardner confused Celtic Polytheism with the English witches known as the wiccas, & wicces.
Gardner used the English term "wicca" (witcher) to describe practitioners of Celtic Polytheism, Roman Polytheism, & Greek Polytheism, which makes no sense, as wicca is an English word used to describe English witches.
Gardner's mispronunciation of Wicca as "wickah", & not "witcher" is damning to this day.
Gardnarian Wicca has no relation to Wodenism in any way.

The word "witch" comes from the old English wicca (witcher).
A ƿiċċa / wicca is a wizard (male).
A ƿiċċe / wicce is a wizardess (female).
Wicca is pronounced witcher, not "wickah".
Wicce is pronounced witchee, not "wickee".
"Warlock" comes from the old English "ƿærloga" (wærloga) which translates as "truth-liar", which would mean "oath-breaker".
A coven of wicca, & wicce (witches) may swear oaths to each other, & if one breaks the oath they become a ƿærloga, that is a "warlock", which can be of either sex.
So a witch (either sex) may be a warlock (either sex) if they have left a coven (broke an oath to a group).
The religion from Gerald Gardner took the term of wicca, & used it to name his religion, though this use is wrong, & modern; practitioners of wicca are literally saying they are wizards, or sorcerers, which is specifically male.
