Wicca, a modern pagan religion, was established in the mid-20th century. It emerged in England in the 1930s and 1940s, influenced by various occult and esoteric traditions. The term "Wicca" was coined by Gerald Gardner, an English civil servant and amateur anthropologist, who is often referred to as the "Father of Wicca." Gardner claimed that Wicca was a continuation of an ancient witchcraft tradition, which he had been initiated into in the 1930s. However, historians and scholars have questioned the validity of Gardner's claims and suggest that Wicca is a new religious movement that draws on various pre-existing beliefs and practices. Despite its relatively recent origins, Wicca has grown in popularity and has become recognized as a legitimate religion in many countries.
Imagine being trapped in a bizarre state of semi-consciousness by a frightening omnipresence. Or being chased and/or pinned by a faceless shadowy figure, unable to move or make a sound, unsure if you’re awake or dreaming.
The click of my boots made a snappy counterpoint to the jangling of the handcuffs pinned to my hip as I strode across the wet street and into the bar. It was the interns that did the nitty-gritty day-to-day policing of Cincinnati and its largest suburb across the river affectionately known as the Hollows.
Despite its relatively recent origins, Wicca has grown in popularity and has become recognized as a legitimate religion in many countries. Its beliefs and practices are centered around reverence for nature, the worship of deities, and the celebration of seasonal festivals. Wiccans often engage in rituals, spellwork, and divination as part of their spiritual practice.

"When Was Wicca Established as a Religion" was a disappointing read for me. As someone who is interested in the origins and history of different religions, I was expecting a detailed exploration of the establishment of Wicca. However, this book fell short in providing any substantial historical context. The information presented was vague and lacked depth. I was left with more questions than answers, feeling unsatisfied with the overall content.
2. Sarah - 1 star
I found "When Was Wicca Established as a Religion" to be incredibly underwhelming. The author seemed to lack in-depth knowledge on the subject matter and failed to provide any credible sources or references to support their claims. The book felt more like a collection of random thoughts rather than a well-researched piece. I expected a comprehensive examination of the establishment of Wicca, but instead, I was met with a shallow and poorly organized narrative.
3. Robert - 2 stars
"When Was Wicca Established as a Religion" failed to meet my expectations. The book lacked coherence and failed to present a clear timeline or evidence for the establishment of Wicca. The author seemed to rely heavily on personal anecdotes rather than factual information. Furthermore, the lack of appropriate citations and references made it hard to trust the validity of the statements presented. Overall, I found this book to be a frustrating and unreliable source for understanding the origins of Wicca.
4. Emily - 3 stars
While "When Was Wicca Established as a Religion" touched upon some interesting aspects of Wiccan history, I found it to be a bit superficial. The book briefly mentioned key figures and events but failed to thoroughly delve into the topic. It felt more like a general overview rather than a comprehensive examination. I would have appreciated more in-depth analysis and research on the establishment of Wicca as a religion, which unfortunately, I did not find in this book.
