Best Answer

There is some debate about whether Wicca is a new religion or one of the oldest. Certainly Goddess centered worship has perhaps existed since before recorded history, but the modern Wicca movement was started when Gerald Gardner, known as the father of Wicca, published Witchcraft Today in 1954.
