Wicca is a modern pagan witchcraft tradition that has its origins in the mid-20th century. It was developed by Gerald Gardner in the 1940s and 1950s, making it relatively new compared to other religious and spiritual practices. Gardner is often considered the founder of Wicca, as he was responsible for popularizing and codifying its beliefs and practices. Gardner drew inspiration from a variety of sources, including ceremonial magic, folklore, and spiritual traditions such as Freemasonry. He believed that Wicca represented a revival of pre-Christian pagan practices and witchcraft, and he sought to create a modern witchcraft tradition that was in harmony with nature and emphasized the worship of a goddess and god. Gardner's writings, particularly his books "Witchcraft Today" (1954) and "The Meaning of Witchcraft" (1959), helped to publicize and spread awareness of Wicca.

Gardner's writings, particularly his books "Witchcraft Today" (1954) and "The Meaning of Witchcraft" (1959), helped to publicize and spread awareness of Wicca. These works, along with his initiation of others into the religion, led to the formation of covens and the growth of the Wiccan community.
