. (1934 - )
It is Raymond and Rosemary Buckland who are responsible for introducing Gardnerian
Witchcraft into America in 1962.
The Buckland's were both students of Gerald Gardner. Ray, who has a PHD in
anthropology, worked in Britain as a scriptwriter and consultant. His father was an
author and playwright. Buckland is a Gypsy name and is of Romany (Gypsy) descent,
he is an authority on Gypsies and has written several books on that subject. He is
known as "The Father of American Wicca, he is also the founder of his own tradition of
Witchcraft called Seax-Wica.
After 28 years working in and leading the craft in America, Raymond retired from active
participation in 1992. Raymond is currently working on his autobiography. Today he
lives on a small farm in north-central Ohio.
There are only three fully recognized Gardnerian lines in the United States:
The Long Island Line (from Raymond and Rosemary Buckland)
The Kentucky Line
And the Donna Cole Line
A fourth line, the emerging California Line, is an offshoot of the Long Island Line. In the
United States Gardnerians tend to be highly attentive to lineage and its traceability.
His latest books are:
The Spirit Book
Buckland's Book of Spirit Communications
Wicca For One
Cards of Alchemy
