Show Notes

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of Gerald Gardner, the father of modern Wicca, and his unexpected connections to the anti-Nazi witchcraft movement during World War II. Gardner, an eccentric British occultist, not only played a pivotal role in popularizing witchcraft but also found himself involved in the mysterious and often controversial world of witches who resisted Nazi ideology. From secret gatherings to spells cast in defiance of tyranny, we explore how Gardner’s path intersected with a network of witches determined to protect their craft—and the world—from fascist forces.
