Yes, that's all very interesting, but the burning question everyone here on Rogue Nation wish an answer to is:
Even though you said you had no interest in it, did you dance naked in the wood with this female?

Seriously though, I was reading this from Wikipedia's 'Etymology of Wicca' and probing it's links.
Etymology of Wicca:
'...The inclusive use of the term Wicca—referring to the entirety of Pagan Witchcraft religion—has been traced to Britain
in the early 1960s, when it was used by various groups and publicised through use in adverts, magazines, and other
literary sources.
It was later adopted by figures like Alex Sanders and Gavin and Yvonne Frost, who took it to the United States.
There, practitioners of British Traditional Wicca adopted it exclusively for themselves as a means to differentiate their
practices from those of other Pagan Witches.
This exclusive meaning was countered by its popularisation as a generic term by prolific authors such as Raymond Buckland,
Scott Cunningham and Silver RavenWolf. As it entered popular culture, it gained an increasingly eclectic character in its usage.
During the 1990s, some attempted to distance themselves from it by utilising the term Traditional Witchcraft...'
Alex Sanders (born (1926 died 1988)
'... who went under the craft name Verbius, was an English occultist and High Priest in the Pagan religion of Wicca, responsible
for founding the tradition of Alexandrian Wicca during the 1960s.'
Yvonne Frost (born 1931)
'A Wiccan author, lecturer, and practitioner from Los Angeles.
Together with her late husband Gavin Frost, she founded the Church and School of Wicca in 1968.'
Raymond Buckland (born 1934 died 2017)
'...whose craft name was Robat, was an English writer on the subject of Wicca and the occult, and a significant figure in the history
of Wicca, of which he was a high priest in both the Gardnerian and Seax-Wica traditions.
According to his written works, primarily Witchcraft from the Inside, published in 1971, he was the first person in the United States
to openly admit to being a practitioner of Wicca...'
Scott Cunningham (born 1956 died 1993)
Author. The date of his birth says everything.
Silver RavenWolf -Jenine E. Trayer (born 1956)
An American New Age, Magic and Witchcraft author and lecturer who focuses on Wicca.
The thing is -as you've pointed out, this 'religion' isn't very old, although it seems an ideal faith for the sixties in California!
An author can basically write anything as the Wiccan craze grew back then, but I suppose it's a unique harmless way of
meeting women.
