“I Fell in Love with a Witch”: The Vision of Gerald Gardner

Some people argue that Gardnerians cannot claim to have the right to do something merely because Gardner did it. Yes, the historical pattern is that religious founders always have rights and privileges that their followers cannot have. I see this clearly in the three cases I know best, those of Gardner, Joseph Smith, and the Rabbi Joshua (whose Greek name was Jesus).

MAGICAL CREATURES

MAGICAL CREATURES

Magical creatures are all around us and they live quietly and happily in their chosen homes where they love to practice their magic.

Gnomes and Dwarves

Gnomes and Dwarves live deep underground where there is a climate that is suitable and they are perfectly content in their habitat. The reason you don’t see these wonderful creatures is because d1they know how to make themselves invisible as they don’t like to be disturbed by the large human people who walk past them daily. Gnomes and Dwarves are also very secretive and if you tell a Gnome a secret they will never ever tell anyone else. They can be quite touchy and the tiniest slight unsettles them, they are worriers and warriors who are fiercely protective of their families. If you are lucky enough to befriend one of these creatures they will be the most loyal and caring friend you could wish for, they are also magnificent alchemists and have stores of gold hidden away. They are very good with their hands and can craft almost anything, often sending their wares into the world where the large human people gaze at the beauty of what they have made, before then purchasing an item not really knowing where the item came from. It is very lucky to own a piece of jewellery that has been made by a Dwarf artisan.
