Gerald Gardner: The History of Wicca
http://www.geraldgardner.com/

"Witchcraft Today proved to be the first nonfiction book on Wicca ever published, and its author, Gerald Gardner, is debatably the first to ever practice Wicca in a recognizably modern form.... This website has been built to address... questions surrounding Gardner's life. I've been collecting information on Gardner since 1997, and I am about to embark on a period of intense study and writing that should hopefully yield a number of well-documented essays that I intend to publish here in PDF format. I also intend to include an archive of some of the rare documents and publications that I have gathered on Wicca's history. This is the first time that much of this material has been put online."
