Home›Modern Witchcraft & Wicca›TraditionBrowse ByTraditionThis page groups historical figures by the religious tradition they belonged to or helped shape, connecting a person to the belief system that claims them. Wikipedia describes a tradition as "a system of beliefs or behaviors (folk custom) passed down within a group of people or society with symbolic meaning or special significance with origins in the past." Browsing this way lets a visitor read every founder, reformer or teacher from one tradition together, rather than finding them scattered by century.FactsTraditionSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedHistorical Figures 1TraditionFilter Results3 entriesEraAll1884 to 1964 (1)1917 to 1979 (1)1922 to 1999 (1)1926 to 1988 (1)1934 to 2017 (1)1956 to 1993 (1)Place of ActivityAllCalifornia (1)England (1)Ireland (1)London (1)Manhattan (1)New York City (1)Portland (1)San Diego (1)San Francisco (1)Sydney (1)United States (1)GenderAllFemale (2)Male (2)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (3)Veneration StatusAllHistorically Significant but Not Venerated (3)Officially Recognized or Venerated (1)Manner Of DeathAllDied of natural causes (2)NationalityAllAustralia (1)United Kingdom (1)United States (2)Revered InAllFeri Tradition (Religion) (1)Wicca (1)Adherents Today MaximumAll13,000 (1)Adherents Today MinimumAll13,000 (1)Basis of the Membership FigureAllIndependent Survey (1)National Census (1)FounderAllGerald Gardner (1884-1964) (1)How the Expectation Is EnforcedAllCustomary Norm (1)Membership Figure As OfAll1990-01-01 (1)2001-01-01 (1)2008-01-01 (1)2011-01-01 (1)2014-01-01 (1)2021-01-01 (1)Origin Period End YearAll1954 (1)Origin Period Start YearAll1946 (1)1954 (1)Place of OriginAllEngland (1)Practice StatusAllPartly restricted: some elements are closed to outsiders (1)Status TodayAllLiving tradition, practised today (2)TheologyAllAnimist: persons and powers in land, water and living things (1)Duotheistic: a divine pair (2)Polytheistic: many gods (2)Show ResultsBrowseCompareFeri Tradition (Religion)Tradition2 entriesModern PaganismTradition1 entryWiccaTradition10 entriesSources1.
