I am so glad we got the opportunity to chat together last evening about Wicca/Paganism, history of, thoughts, and questions. It felt really good to share what I know and have learned as well as learning a few new things! For that... I thank you all.
On that note: While discussing the History of Wicca, I mentioned that I was taught it began in 1939... after brushing the dust from my older books I found that the reason this was said is that G. Gardner was initiated into the New Forest Coven in England in that year. He then took what he learned and shared his ideas which some were new concepts to form the first know or recorded Wiccan coven. He then went on to popularize Wicca in his writings and formed other covens based upon these new concepts and ideas.
I hope this answers the questions regarding dates and remember this is based upon my books and what I learned....but does not mean tis the absolute. I would be happy to hear from anyone with other thoughts, ideas, or teachings!
Til then.... Be safe and Blessed Be!
