The Middle-Class British Man That Founded Modern Witchcraft | Britain's Wicca Man | Timeline
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2017
- Britain’s Wicca Man tells the extraordinary story of Britain's fastest growing religious group - Wicca - and of its creator, an eccentric Englishman called Gerald Gardner.
Historian and leading expert in Pagan studies, Professor Ronald Hutton, explores the unlikely origins of modern pagan witchcraft and experiences first hand its growing influence throughout Britain today.
Gardner’s story and the story of Wicca itself is a bizarre one. The film tells of a peculiar man who saw that the world was ready for a new religion based on magic, sex, nature and ritual - and gave it to us. Documentary first broadcast in 2011.

Phil Cadey I think it gives people a chance to learn, especially those who were made to believe it was “evil”. Perhaps through content like this, we, like myself, learn, it’s far from what we were taught.

This video is not true just by the title. a man never created witchcraft. But historically Men take credit for things they didn’t make or create- but rather saw someone else do. Shakespeare stole all of his stories from a black woman who would tell stories to children in a neighboring area. Witchcraft is started by women. do some research and see the history of divination and witchcraft and everything started in Africa. It started in Africa by WOMEN.
He didn’t MAKE witchcraft. Witchcraft has been around for much longer than him.
Do you know who? or at least where it was influenced?
It starts waaay back before king Solomon, it’s called occult because it’s secret but we can see in the uk that magick has been here before we ever knew anything about any gods, it comes from djin, those djin where later made into demons and angel by the west as magic evolved.
Today modern practitioners can take a long old ceremony and refine it down to something modern and useful out of it, that’s what this doc is about.
Hope I helped
He mainstreamed it. The reason hot topic pentagram earings exist is because of him.
@@CynicalLight Not just him but yes he helped to main stream it and refine it. Thing is thou I believe you're giving him to much credit as he took these things from various sorces same as other practitioners that all used things like the pentagram, my point is if you're going to say that he is the reason we have pentagram earings you must also say this is true for people like Crowley and Mathers.
@@CynicalLight Love the user name btw, the story of Diogenes is one of my favourites. :)
You know it's England when they say it's sunny and the sky is completely cloud covered
but the guy is speaking on Calton Hill in Edinburgh *shrugs
It should be understood that witchcraft is far, far, far older than the cult of christianity and accepted by the majority....

My grandma was a Wiccan. I didn't know until now that the practices that she performed was considered witchcraft. As a child I witnessed her success in healing myself and other people. She was not an evil person . She was a loving giving lady. She helped people who lived in her town. A doctor was not always around. She delivered so many babies. She died in 1964. I miss her every day. Thank you for sharing this program!
Your grand mother was not a witch she was a natural tradetional healer🇧🇼🇧🇼
As was my mother and father he was forced to war 2 he became a medic saving any human even Germans >>but before 1953 you could not say it was then that Winston Churchill REMOVED the Witch craft act

I've seen Ronald Hutton in other documentaries, and I always like his presentation. I appreciate that he is highly knowledgeable and soft-spoken, with a gentle approach to other people.
He’s a precious decent person, I agree with you.
correction: the man who created wicca, not witchcraft. witchcraft and paganism has been here way before him and even christianity.
Glad you did.. I was about to
Yeah the second I saw the title for this video I was like “guess I gotta go set the record straight for these idiots 🙄”

Really fun seeing Ronald Hutton hosting this! Also funny how the script has him acting like he hasn't written multiple scholarly books on the subject.
Yeah and acting like he’s never participated in a magical ritual before 😂
What a fantastic documentary. It was very informative. I had no Idea Wicca was born England. It was very well written and the presenters voice was lovely to listen to. Thank you
All our words. Everything we say is a spell. Words have power

The host is very respectful of all of this and it's pretty heartwarming to listen too. I think I'll be watching more of his shows.
@Duc de Richleau what does that matter?
You should meet him and his interests outside of his profession may surprise you. ;)
Maggie East I agree
@Duc de Richleau it doesn't matter if he believes it. All that matters is that he respects it.
He wrote a whole book on modern Paganism called Triumph of the Moon.
I met my beloved husband 30 years ago. He was practicing Wicca and had an altar in his second bedroom. I asked about it and he just told me not to touch it, that it was religious. I ended up asking him 3 times before he handed me Raymond Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft (or, as several call it "Uncle Bucky's Big Blue Book.) I went through it and did all the exercises in a week, came back and asked for more. We did my dedication the night of Samhain (Halloween) we were handfasted (married by a priestess) and a year and a day later we did my initiation. I had a coven that worked through to third degree before we hived them off. I was a representative and assistant director of the biggest Pagan organization in Texas. I've pretty much stopped doing ritual because the exercise of the energies tires me out due to disability. But, I still do rituals in my head and heart, still honoring the God and Goddess and the Elements.
I’m from Texas also. How awesome that you practiced your beliefs. Wish you were still able to.
I have a couple of friends who practice Wicca…a couple of the best people I know!
May God save us soul .u was misled and introduced by ur husband divorce him get away n search for god

Phallic handled daggers are actually very very common, it was something they did a lot in medieval times, even sometimes the hilt being shaped as testicles, so who knows the reasons for Gerald's knife being shaped like that, could have had more significance to him or maybe it just made him laugh

I don't understand how people can be so bashful of wiccan cultures, it's a religion to some. It's not about satanism it's about connecting more to nature.
because it takes away from GOD.. I am not christian btw.. but in the bible it says "have no God before me" it also mentions not worshiping idols, such as statues, stones, and imagery.. basically anything that ISN'T done in the light of God, done for God and the warship of ONLY that God of the bible is a sin. Anything NOT God AUTOMATICALLY = anti God = Satan, if it isn't in the bible from God it isn't of God. Also Having another religion in an area that is mostly populated by another religion threatens the areas original religion because it might sway the minds of other people causing numbers to dwindle and control of ideals to crumble. that't just my thought of it anyway..
Jiji Poid thanks for the input I guess that is the thoughts of most
Currently Ghosting bashful?
Jiji Poid The "original religion" was paganism. Don't be stupid. How can Wicca take people away from God, if we see God in nature? You're such an ignorant fool.
It's mostly evangelical Christian preachers that try to brainwash others into thinking Wicca is evil in hope that Wiccans would cease to exist. Today, we're talking about preachers like Pastor Steven Anderson. These hate preachers try to revive Christianity in the West and promote its sense of religious supremacy. So, in order to achieve that they tell you all sorts of twisted stories to demonise Wicca and Wiccans.
Just to clear on this All Wiccans are Pagan but not all Pagans are Wiccan. I am Pagan but I am not Wiccan.
I am pagan but not wiccan as well.
im Pagan but follow the Druid path
This is very accurate
Laura Dale Hello; Pagan = Holding supersticious beliefs incompatible with the Roman cult. I'm interested to hear, what are your particulars regards to the term Pagan?
John Todd member of The Council of 13 on that ruclips.net/video/2HMSsaxj2O4/видео.html
Wicca pulled me out of a suicidal slump, honestly.
This was much better than I thought it would be! Thanks!
"Whereas other faiths say this is what you should feel about the divine, this one says this is how you can feel divine". Very telling that.
"For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and *ye* *shall* *be* *as* *gods* knowing good and evil" Genesis 3:5. Very telling indeed. It's the same rehashed unoriginal garbage Satan has been deceiving our kind with since the very beginning and like fools we fall for it again and again.
We have had 4000 years of this particular doctrine and what a lovely world it has created. It is time we grew up.
Caroline Barnes As a Wiccan high priestess, I felt that "...this one says this is how you can feel divine" was the most inaccurate statement I heard during the entire program. It really puzzled and saddened me why Dr. Hutton said it, because it just doesn't represent how Wiccans feel or what we're up to. We are actually very humble people who never aspire to becoming divine or usurping the gods in any way. We look for Flow. We make ourselves available to serve. We listen and watch for portends in Nature. We honor and venerate All that makes life on this planet possible. To allude that we seek to have power over people or events outside of our own lives is a gross misrepresentation of our intents and goals, and anyone detected behaving so would be talked to or shunned. I am really disappointed in that closing of this documentary... it was sensational, it was a sound byte, it sounded spooky, but it was not the truth.
Caroline Barnes said "We have had 4000 years of this particular doctrine and what a lovely world it has created. It is time we grew up." What a refreshing use of irony. Nicely said, Ms. Barnes. Blessed Be!
Thank you for your comments, Leananshae. I totally understand where you are coming from and am in complete sympathy with it. There is a lot of confusion around this issue of human divinity and what it means. I practice kundalini yoga as taught by yogi Bhajan and a mantra that was given as an Aquarian age mantra is 'God and me, me and God are one.' I have seen that this can often create a reaction similar to what you expressed, that this is a statement about power and its uses and misuses, and as such people feel very uncomfortable with it. When I teach this in my classes I explain my understanding of this which is to do with energy fields. We all exist within a field of consciousness which traditionally we have called god, imagining the old man with the beard in the sky judging us. According to the shamans the body exists within the mind, and similarly we exist within the mind or energy field of god. We cannot be separated from infinity, we exist within it. For the last few millenia human beings have been suffering a delusion of separation to greater of lesser extents, and this has spawned other delusions such as power and its uses, projecting this out onto 'God' or 'gods' which are actually just projections of our own fears within this delusion of separation. I have not studied or practiced Wicca but I have always understood it as a benign method of staying in the flow of the divine or infinite energies whilst living in a finite system.
I respect this guy because unlike other documentors, he takes. The ritual seriously and does not joke about it. He respects the wishes of the wiccans.
^ he also goes in great detail about Gernold Gardner and Traditional Wicca I didn't even know we had his BOS that's insane~ i wish I could read it honestly it'd be amazing!!

This was a very good description of the wicca ways and I've decided to buy a couple of the books by Gardner and Hutton to get a better idea about this. Should be interesting
why not buy a Christian Bible , and a few commentaries, and maybe info from Tom Horn and Michael Heiser while there's still time before the great dellusion is Full On. Should be interesting..
This man did not invent witchcraft. Yes, words matter.
Maybe you should watch the entire documentary. They aren’t saying he created witchcraft.
@@Renee-sk3ed that's true, but the title is deceiving. I get they want to grab as many people's attention as most people know the word witchcraft and not wicca but it's still deceiving ahaha
Yes he did, hes been alive for thousands of years
@@norajager7613 he created WICCA, which helped witchcraft become more mainstream, but paganism has been around long before Christianity. All Wiccans are witches but not all witches are Wiccan. Witchcraft comes from many cultures.
@@norajager7613 so he's alive still 🤨😂😂😂😂 you need to take your meds
What we need to understand is that the conflation of Wicca and witchcraft is erroneous at best, and disingenuous at worst. It's true that Gardner referred to his tradition as "Witchcraft," but the fact of the matter is, they are two different things - Wicca is a religion, witchcraft is a practice that transcends religion. There are tons of witches out there who do not at all appreciate being equated with Wiccans. Therefore, no, Gerald Gardner did not invent witchcraft; he invented Wicca. Anyone who wishes to learn more about these things need to learn the difference between the two as early as possible in order to avoid confusion.
Thank you for this information, much appreciated, you have given me a view that has provoked my thinking and open my mind a little more, yes and you have fed my curiosity to learn more in the area of spirituality 🙂👏
@@lesperonis1146 100% BS! They all have the same practices. Witchcraft aka Wicca aka Freemasonry is just sun worship copied from Babylon. This is why in History of Freemasonry they say Nimrod is the first grand Master mason. All you guys do is astro project and work with demons. This is Babylonian mystery religions.

The people who taught me some aspects of what is called witchcraft, in 1972, 73, 74,were a family that emigrated to the U.S. in the mid 1800's . Theres lots of differences from Wicca and traditional family Witchcraft. But, some teachings and spiritual practices are very similar. Not the same but Gardner had resources.

OUR, BODIES ARE ORGANIC. WE CRAVE FOOD THAT COME FROM THE EARTH. WATER TO QUENCH OUR THIRST. SUN FOR VITAMIN C N D. OUR FLESH SHALL RETURN TO DIRT. IT IS VERY NATURAL FOR HUMANS TO FEEL GOOD IN NATURE. I FEEL THE MOST PEACE WHEN I'M IN MY GARDEN. BUT, I WORSHIP THE GOD/YAH WHO CREATED IT ALL....I ENJOY NATURE BUT WORSHIP ONLY YAHWEH. Every thing has a purpose...
Spirtitualism is taking off in the west coast of the U.S. as well. So much that in Arizona certain Psychedelic plants, like Peyote are now legal for religious use. And in Oregon' magic mushrooms' are legal for therapeutic use, in " retreats", in the woods.
I think useing these enthrohens is a big help in experiencing what the ancients got out of nature. They are like the telescope and microscope of spirituality.
I'm glad that Gardener paved the way, to help bring US our of the "broom closet". Blessed be .
Paganism has been around since far before christianity
It's funny no one seems to get that.
He's talking about wicca though xD it's origins are mostly just Gernold Gardner

He helped bring witchcraft back for those who needed and wanted it after such a horrendous demonisation of or from the church.

Nah you’re just uneducated
The Church gave u schools, universities, hospitals, orphanages, homeless shelters etc etc. What exactly did witchcraft give the world? Nothing! The Church is much maligned by ignorant people. It changed the world for the better.

Magic isnt a practice, its energy. Its understanding the flowing current of energy that is all around us and Wicca, paganism and occult religions all are tools to understand that.
As Aleister Crowley, To Mega Therion stated succinctly "Magick is the Science and Art of causing change, in conformity with Will.
Using energy, via ritual to manifest physically.
Energy is a concise well defined term of which is empirical measurable repeatable verifiable. This is a matter of faith, so I would just stick with magic or magical energy. Doing otherwise would be misleading.

As a Catholic girl and as a person of part British ancestry, i initially found this somewhat "confronting & even scary". Why? Bec i know not enough about it, although i have tried to educate myself in the past. My Father did own a very interesting book about "white witches" & that, was my first introduction relating to this broader topic. I remember flicking through the many pages & was so intrigued, interested, albeit, somewhat shocked & wanted to keep reading, but unfort, i didn't. I don't even know, if he still possesses this book anymore. I've found this documentary both interesting & enlightening. It's an important part of English history and who knows......Perhaps one or more of my British ancestors, may have even dabbled in &/or formally practiced witchcraft. I'm still doing deep research on my NW European ancestry, so let's see what i can find out. Thanks for sharing this documentary. My best wishes sent to all.
The Catholic Church is Luciferian anyway. Much of the pedophilia in the Catholic Church is connected to rituals.
From what I’ve learned by talking to people practicing modern witchcraft, it’s mostly a connection to Mother Earth and nature.

Most of us don't practice skyclad (naked) anymore. It's been found to interfere in people's concentration and it's pretty uncomfortable during Fall and Winter. Plus, we really love "donning garb", or getting all dressed up in rich garments and accoutrements.
Sir Cardinal "Please repent and turn to Jesus. What's about to come upon this earth... you don't want to be here."... What? And spend eternity with self-righteous, interfering, frightened born-agains like you??? No thank you... I'll take my chances here, on this beautiful, wondrous planet you disdain so much and honor the gods who have provided all and never asked for human sacrifice (yes, JC is a human sacrifice). Enjoy your sad, scary religion. You have more than enough to deal with reconciling yourself to your angry unpleasable god, Yahweh, to go around bothering people with your rude evangelism. Blessed Be!
Leananshae: Wow, very well said!!!
British Texan ;) Thank you and Blessed Be!
With all due respect, not all of us Christians are "self-righteous, interfering, frightened born-agains." Our love for others is what spurs us to share God's gift with them. Granted, some come off more eloquently than others at time.
Bethany Horvatin I know you mean well, but good intentions are not an excuse for shoving your religion on others. "Help that is not asked for or agreed to, by definition, is interference." It doesn't matter whether you're eloquent or not... being rude is being rude. How would you feel if I came onto these comments and "eloquently" started espousing the veneration of The Horned One and spoke of The Great Rite? You'd freak before you ever bothered to go look it up and probably feel pretty offended. If you aren't already seeking Wicca, I would never confront you with why you should want to be Wiccan. It's unethical. Listen: If your god wants me, he'll find a way to make me convert. Have a little faith in what you espouse. In the meantime, please go away and take care of the state of your own soul and leave people alone with theirs. Blessed Be!

Does anyone know the music playing at @19:35 ? Such pretty and soft ethereal witchy music for spells. I am having trouble finding music this soft yet with female vocals.
20 years ago I was in Boot Camp at Fort Benning GA. On the first day the Drill Sergeant was yelling at us all. We were told Sunday mornings were our opportunity to go to church. If we were not religious we would stay in the dorms and clean. He then asked if any of us were Wiccans. One odd looking fellow raised his hand. Our Drill Sergeant leaned over to is counterpart and said "There's always one.” and giggled. He told the young man out loud "Well Sunday morning we'll put you in a room room by yourself and you can cut up a mattress or what ever you guys do". It was a good laugh before things got rough.

I like that he asks questions and participates, and he really talks about things properly, I think this was a really well made documentary
If you enjoy a bunch of half assed information. There are many things in here that are either half truths or false entirely. Like Aleister Crowley... he wasn't a Wiccan. He practiced in a more esoteric Magick circle called the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn before continuing onto darker occult Magick. They are NOT Wiccan. They are not pagan. Their Magick is a collection from global rituals that predate Christianity.
@@nefuros551 They explicitly stated that he practiced different, darker "witchcraft".
However, he does not even mention the inquisition. Without mention of this centuries long holocaust which put Wicca underground, this is not very well done at all.

Very interesting this is. As an open minded but strong in my Faith different type of Christian. I never judge any type of religion or practice of faith. I love to learn and soak up knowledge. It's a type of common respect for ALL that I always give to my fellow humans, cryptids, beasts of the field, and birds of the air. The kicker here with me is my great grandmother from Portugal in the late 1800s was a legit medium and sweet. I get loads of paranormal in my 53 years of life that has and still does happen. Even have witnesses of ravens and crows flying within feet of me and cawing at me. Get why I'm a UN judgemental open but faithful Christian. I didn't really ask for all the paranormal I endure and encounter. But I accept it whole heartly. Again great video. Thank you. With love. God bless.

Spin around (like a whirling dervish) clockwise(yang northern hemisphere/yin southern hemisphere) or counterclockwise (yin northern hemisphere/yang southern hemisphere) (torus spinning). Chant any of these mantras 3 times each while facing east, west, north(in the southern hemisphere) or south(in the northernhemisphere): "ieouah", "um"(like "from"), "aum" and "om". Sleep with your head placed east, west, north(in the southern hemisphere) or south(in the northern hemisphere). Stare into the flower of life before sleep. Perform the 5 Tibetan rites.

I'm so glad that they no longer kill us witches for our beliefs, not all of us are bad. I actually like this documentary.
Well in some places they do like the middle East. But we're lucky that most places don't anymore.
Lilac exactly why do you think the main stream glorifies witchcraft? You are not “woke” as a witch or a star worshiper “zodiac “ look at every Netflix show IT GLORIFIES WITCHCRAFT. What do they do about Christ they stay keeping his name in their mouths in vein, it’s disgusting honestly. You are not woke because some false witch reads your zodiac symbols of the day. You are woke as soon as you see Jesus Christ died for you sin and walking in HIS WAY , THE NARROW PATH is the path to safety and light. Wide is the door to destruction. You want to go that way? By all means you have the free will to choose. But if you really think woke is witchcraft you’re really mistaken. Jesus name still reigns across nations like its meant too because he is the savior. God bless you and may you find Christ before its too late
Non Non jesus is the truth.
@Non Non facts!!
Witches were literally never killed for their beliefs.
People can bash Paganism all they like, it seems to me to be the most logical and archaic religion of all and I'm an atheist.
Targaryan GOT Thank You♡
Thing is, we don't make the mistake of personalising our gods. We give them pictures and idols so we can feel more connected to them, but know that they're of course no real persons. They are forces of nature, even within ourselves. And that is, why paganism sooner or later will win this fight.
lmao lmaoooooooooooooooo

My family has a long line of history on my mother's side of maternal witches, 3 were hung during trials and witch hunts. Back then you could be executed over little things. If a women was deemed smarter than a man she was a witch. Some of the reasons are so simplistic it's shocking.

Scientists have recently discovered 'Dark Matter', so now I'm connecting the dots. Dark Matter isn't necessarily good or bad. It is something that has always been in existence in the Universe. The intention of a particular person is different than the energy or resource of 'Dark Matter.' It is like asking the question if a knife is good or bad. It all depends on what are you going to use the knife for. So, in casting spells; people use it for good or bad, and in either case the energy will ultimately return to the original person who sent that energy. It is called the Law of Karma, Cause and Effect, Sow and You Shall Reap, Law of Attraction, etc. People make evil deeds, and they don't realize that they will pay the prize in triple form; in this life time or in a future life time. It is like trying to escape our own shadow. The payment method or payback isn't necessarily in the same way of how the evil deed was done. People wish ill or evil to others, but then they lose one of their relatives or they get into some kind of accident. Nobody gets away with anything; even if we think nobody is watching us. The universe doesn't take sides or has any favorites.
Nice try, but witchcraft and hypothetical "stuff" in intergalactic space do not have a lot to do with each other.
Exactly! And the discovery of Quantum Entanglement shows scientifically how taglocks work in Voodoo or Folk Magick.
Great analogy indeed....I think some quantum physicists would pay attn to that - or did I jst make an eedjit of myself? ....is that what it is? 😨 so-called dark matter, IS the spital outside of the material...we jst call it dark cos we can't see it from where we "are" - but that IS the light that makes us visible....dammit I'm stoned.

The happy chirpy music does make it palatable.
I really enjoyed the commentator as well. He is quite a character.
It all comes down to intention. Just like sending prayers. Good and evil are the same energy it only matters how it is used with intention.
Actually, good and evil are not energies, atoms have energy, so do photons and electrons. However good and evil do not have energy, as they are not substances or things that carry energy.
@@1mol831 energies aren't limited to those things tho... energy can be a term describing something that is unseen and has an effect not just the energy fields that say atoms have.

I have had two Wiccan girlfriends in the past (one was a stunning redhead) and they were the hottest, sweetest, and most sensual women I have ever met. I got a lot of hate dating supposed 'witches' as a Muslim but I feel that they're beliefs and practices played a large part in them being that way and I respected that. The break ups were sad but we parted on good terms. What I'm trying to say is that Wiccan chicks will rock your world.

Witch craft goes back to the begining of time .
Even the Old Testament Bible mentioned witches.
I read Bucklands book in the 90s .
I fallow a different path , I'm solitary and do not do ritual , I walk the woodland path , a natural way of belief and life .
Magnificent!! Beautiful!! This is how you feel divine!
That sounds like a pride issue waiting to happen. Can’t you see, you’re being played for a a fool.
It’s the same silly message they told in the garden, expect less fruit and more fancy looking wands.
You don’t want to seek “divinity,” it’s a dirty trick. We’re not better or even close to being as good and sound as God.
To pretend to do so is the exact polar opposite of the gospel, hence part of the reason why this religion is so dangerous.
I've been researching paganism and Wicca because it's my boyfriend belief and I've been wanting to understand it and learn it's history. I have to say it's really interesting and I see why he believes in it

Which religion are you yourself ?
Wiccan's are "notoriously secretive"? Sure if you don't count social medial, public parks and gardens, coffee shops, book shops, candle shops, parades, clubs, bars, colleges/university's and every community billboard in almost every employer breakroom. We don't recruit , but we are out and proud almost everywhere!
I see no reason for us Pagans to hide.
Lineaged, initiatory traditions of Wicca (such as Gardnerian Wicca) do still remain secretive to a large degree. Neo Wicca is a lot more open, depending on the person, or persons practicing.
MsMRumsey I can really put happy in you most important thing is trust

Trade unions called Monday for the European Commission to impose maximum temperature limits for outdoor workers, after three people died while on shift in Madrid during last week's withering heatwave.
While a handful of member states have legislation limiting working hours in excessive heat, the thresholds vary and many nations have no nationwide heat limits.
According to research by the polling agency Eurofound, 23 percent of all workers across the EU were being exposed to high temperatures a quarter of the time. That figure rises to 36 percent in agriculture and industry and to 38 percent for construction workers.
Previous research has linked high temperatures to a number of chronic conditions and an elevated risk of workplace injury.
"Workers are on the frontline of the climate crisis every day and they need protections to match the ever-increasing danger from extreme temperatures," said Claes-Mikael Stahl, deputy secretary general of the European Trade Union Confederation.
The ETUC said that most EU nations have no maximum temperature legislation for workplaces, although Belgium, Hungary and Latvia all have some curbs on activity.
In France, where there are currently no working temperature limits, 12 workers died due to heat exposure in 2020 alone, the union said.
Spain, where three workers died in extreme heat last week, does have temperature limits in place, but only for certain professions.
A 60-year-old street cleaner on a one-month contract died in Madrid on Saturday, after he collapsed in the street from heatstroke while working the previous day.
While a handful of member states have legislation limiting working hours in excessive heat, the thresholds vary and many nations have now nationwide heat limits
May our ancient traditions never be lost! Spirituality is universal and God is everywhere and had been expressing himself before religion . Spirituality is the essence of religion.

Thank you!
Yes , because you still use the original meaning of Witch as an evil person who casts spells to harm. People are protected from them by witch doctors.
Gavin Reid no we don't ! I don't ! First of all witch means "sorcier" in French and for us sorcier and sorcières Don't even practice witchcraft. We call them marabout 💜💜I know better what we "use" better than someone on RUclips who don't know what i "use" as meaning of the word.

For people who are interested in the history of Wicca: you should read "The Triumph of the Moon" by Ronald Hutton (the guy in this documentary, he's an historian).
It's incredibly detailed and it blew my mind when I read it, it also helps to clarify exactly where Wicca comes from and how it came about.
Thank you
Prof. Hutton should not be believed in this documentary nor his books because the first thing that comes out of his mouth in this documentary is a demonstrable lie and he knows it! In the early 2000s Hutton published what amounts to a retraction of his book, "Triumph of the Moon" in a follow-up called "Witches, Druids and King Arthur." In WDKA, Hutton confessed that as he was writing "Triumph," he discovered and intentionally ignored evidence tracing Wicca to remote antiquity for no other reason than the fact that it would have disproved his hypothesis! Yet, he continues to double-down on his disproven thesis. Furthermore, I personally believe he plagiarized his thesis over the Romantic Era origins of the Craft from the book, "The Goddess Unmasked," which was written by a reviled evangelical Christian a few years before "Triumph" was published. The fact of the matter is that Paganism did survive, and likely evolved into contemporary witchcraft. Hutton has never been able to provide evidence of Paganism's death other than use umbrella statements, since multiple scholars that eclipse him demonstrate the survival of paganism, as well as the historic connection between folklore and ancient paganism. (A brilliant book re: the survival of European paganism is Prof. Randy P. Conner's 5 vol. Doctoral dissertation, "The Pagan Heart of the West!".) What's worse about Hutton's documentary, IMO, is that he refuses to acknowledge the historic findings of Phillip Hesselton who proved the existence of the New Forest coven that Gardner was initiated into, including its likely members.
For people interested in the history of Jesus Christ: you should read The Holy Bible

Pagan is just a label the "civilized" Christian world put on those who had a sufficiently different religion. The vikings of Scandinavia where pagans to the kingdoms of England who where years earlier considered to be pagans by the Romans who where once themselves Pagan. Every non monotheistic religion is considered a pagan religion and those who practice it are by definition pagans.

You'll find more witches and pagans that are not wiccan than those that are. We often consider it "softcore" in comparison to other paths; a good starting position, or stepping stone, which can feel, to many, as too limiting. Our history goes way further back than Gardner.

This sounds like he was the individual inspiration for the antagonist in the M.R. James inspired story called "The Hex" Dr. Gardener was the name.
Speaking as a person who has been a practicing witch of the Germanic persuasion for nearly 45 years... I feel compelled to point out that witchcraft and religion are two entirely different things.
Witchcraft can be a part of any religion, even Christianity, but doesn't need to be attached to any of them.
As for Gerald Gardner and Wicca... I put him in the same category as L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology.
Hi x I agree . I have wasted a lot of time with Scientology and many books and have found myself a bit lost.?. Could you recommend a new starting point? Shell Whitnear xx
@@petewhitnear6877 the starting point might be reading the Bible and following God's laws. Do not join any group or church for a while. Go slow.......develop a personal relationship with God apart from any priest. Know God for yourself. Spiritual world is safer known from God's camp. Once you start operating in the spiritual world you don't know what forces you may come against. It may not be easy to get out. It may be inspirational for you to spend some time with God, for a while. This is just my opinion, people will do as they wish. We have a free will. We will worship that which we choose. Some people worship the sun, or nature, or other people, or money...... the list is endless. Take care!♥️🙏.........and yes...I agree....... witchcraft and religion are entirely different things. We have enough religion, BUT do we have faith?
Genesis 2:18 says:"it is not good for a man to be alone........"
Psalm 68:6 says:"God sets the lonely in families." We by nature want to belong somewhere and so we keep searching. It is God's responsibility to lead and guide us so that the group we join, does not end up being a cult. Pray and read the Bible and God will lead and guide you.♥️🦉
Cheers!
@@silviapisces3342 how does "the starting point might be reading the Bible" and "Do not join any group or church for a while" work together? hm.
@@chrissyweikoop7931 God's laws are strewn throughout the Bible, and applying these in our life will improve our relationship with ourselves and with other people. The key here is to apply in your everyday life what you have learnt, from the Bible. Humans by nature are sociable and want to belong somewhere. If you are in a good place in your life, eg., You have good relations with your family, co-workers, and friends then you are not searching for something. However there are many people who are struggling, searching for answers, are unhappy and are looking for their niche in life. Or maybe they feel something is missing from their life. Instead of rushing and joining any group, which might just end up being a cult, be led by the Spirit of God. The bridge between reading the Bible and belonging to the "right" group, is to be lead by the Spirit of God. The other option is joining any group which has no spiritual activities, like a chess club, or painting or a knitting club. However I understood that Pete Whitnear wanted some spiritual growth, within any future group he might join.😊🙏
