Something that confuses me... I went onto the link you gave about the discussion, and one of the people there was quoting Gardener as if his exact words were the pinnacle of Wiccan religion, which I've noticed a lot of Wiccans do. It seems like some practitioners view Gardener as some kind of Jesus figure... has anyone else noticed this? I'm not saying that's a bad thing neccessarily, each to their own beliefs and all!


Well Gardner was credited with bringing Wicca back into society and some think that he invented the actual practice of Wicca... I've noticed the Jesus thing a lot; that's why some people are really adamant about being recognized as a Gardnerian or Alexandrian Wiccan. Others just give him so much credit because he popularized Wicca and made it "okay" in the eyes of the public. That's all I've learned about him. People do get crazy though with the whole obsession over him...
