The talk will be delivered by Jay Anderson who is a Gardnerian High Priestess of the Sheffield Line. Jay is active in many magical and initiatory orders including the OTO and Women's Freemasonry.


Gerald Gardner is often named as the founder of Gardnerian Wicca – but traditions do not survive on founders alone. This talk explores the High Priestesses initiated by Gardner who went on to establish the lineages that continue the Craft today. By examining their roles as initiators, teachers and lineage holders, we look beyond the figure of the ‘Witch Father’ to the women whose authority, labour and leadership ensured the survival and transmission of Gardnerian Wicca. This is a talk about lineage, power and the hands through which the Craft was truly built.
