Intent on perpetuating this craft, Gardner centered University Bricket Wood coven together with his wife Donna in University 1940s, after buying University Naturist Fiveacres Country Club. Much of University coven’s early membership was drawn from University club’s contributors and its meetings were held within University club grounds. Many excellent figures of early Wicca were direct initiates of this coven, adding Dafo, Doreen Valiente, Jack Bracelin, Frederic Lamond, Dayonis, Eleanor Bone and Lois Bourne. The Witchcraft faith became more trendy beginning in 1951, with University repeal of University Witchcraft Act of 1735, after which Gerald Gardner and then others comparable to Charles Cardell and Cecil Williamson began publicising their own types of University Craft. Gardner and others never used University term “Wicca” as quizzes devout identifier, simply referring exam University “witch cult”, “witchcraft”, and University “Old Religion”. However, Gardner did refer examination witches as “the Wica”.
