A Very British Witchcraft, is the full length version of the edited 30 minute ABC program, Gerald Gardener: Britain's Wicca Man, that I uploaded here a few months ago.
Thanks go to Hannibal @ TheBox for this excellent cap of the Saturday 17th August 2013 More4 broadcast. English subtitles are included (the audio is also English).
I had no idea that any actual footage of Gerald Gardener existed and it was a real treat to watch it.
It was also fascinating to see his ritual crowns, athame and original Book of Shadows, which are now in the hands of private collectors.

| http://www.channel4.com/programmes/britains-wicca-man/episod... The extraordinary story of Britain's fastest-growing religious group - the modern pagan witchcraft of Wicca - and of its creator, an eccentric Englishman called Gerald Gardner. Historian and leading expert in Pagan studies Professor Ronald Hutton explores Gardner's story and experiences first-hand Wicca's growing influence throughout Britain today. Born of a nudist colony in 1930s Dorset, Wicca rapidly grew from a small New Forest coven to a worldwide religion in the space of just 70 years. It's a journey that takes in tales of naked witches casting spells to ward off Hitler, tabloid hysteria about human sacrifices and Gerald Gardner himself appearing on Panorama. |
