Edited sentence: Gardnarian Wicca was developed in England during the first half of the 20th century and was introduced to the public in 1954 by Gerald Gardner, a retired British civil servant.Since the last of the Witchcraft laws were repealed in 1951, his previous writing 'High Magics Aid' was set in novel form plus his High Priestess wasnt too thrilled to bring that attention to the Craft.The Craft was kept underground since the Inquisition so almost all of it was passed down orally.There are other forms of Wicca including British Traditional Witchcraft/Wicca, Traditional Initiatory Witchcraft/Wicca, and European Traditional Witchcraft/Wicca.While Gardnarian Wicca draws upon a diverse set of ancient pagan and 20th-century hermetic motifs for its theological structure and ritual practices, the other forms have been passed down for over a hundred years.Wicca is a feminine based nature religion that is oath bound, and requires initiation and at least 3 or more degrees of training
