That would be Gardnerian, as it was Dr. Gerald B. Gardner who invented Wicca.
When did the wicca religion originate?
Many Wiccans regard their modern faith as the restoration of a nature-based spiritual tradition that reaches back through the earliest ages of pre-history. In the historical sense, the modern practice of Wicca began with Gerald Gardner in Britain in the 1930s, or, according to some claims, in the 1920s. Many different groups, schools and forms of Wicca branched off from that original group very quickly. Gardnerian Wicca and the related Alexandrian Wicca, continue to thrive today. Some feminist and other forms of Wicca now have very little in common with the Gardnerian tradition.
What are the differences between Alexandrian wicca and Gardnerian wicca?
Alexandrian, founded by Alex Sanders and his wife Maxine, is an offshoot of Garnerian Wicca, founded by Gerald Gardner so the similarities are more prominent than the differences. It is difficult to write general statements about both traditions as each has covens that may practice slightly differently than other covens in their own respective traditions. Generally speaking: Both are initiatory, have 3 degrees, are considered British Traditional Wicca (BTW) and are more formal and ceremonial in nature than say, Reclaiming Wicca. Neither accept or recognize self-initiations (usually). A few differences: Alexandrians attribute the athame to air and wand to fire (Gardnerians athame = fire, wand = air), Gardnerians make more regular use of ritual nudity than Alexandrians.
Is witchcraft a feminist thing?
Like every other religion or faith tradition, witchcraft has many varieties. Dianic Wicca is a Goddess-centered tradition, and consciously feminist. Alexandrian Wicca and Gardnerian Wicca honor both Gods and Goddesses, and include male witches. Many solitary Wiccans are also feminist. But it would be wrong to assume that all Feminists are Wiccan or that all Wiccans are Feminist.
When was wicca founded?
