Dr. Gardner spent his lifetime traveling and studying folklore and anthropology and was internationally known for his writings on witchcraft. He was acclaimed by the British press as "King of the Witches" and Gardnerian doctrines still strongly influence the practice of modern witchcraft both here and abroad. His collection of witchcraft items included ritual and ceremonial objects and jewelry dating as far back as Egyptian times, as well as items owned by the notorious "Witchfinders General", Matthew Hopkins. The collection, the most famous of it's kind in the world, was housed in Gardner's museum on the Isle of Man, a tiny island off the coast of England. |
|
Following Gardner's death at sea in 1964, Monique and Campbell Wilson, witches themselves, and High Priest and Priestess of their coven, were bequeathed the museum which they operated for nearly a decade. |
