Doreen Valiente


Honoring the Befores

On today's date in 1922, Doreen Valiente was born. A gifted ritualist and poet, she was responsible for changing Wicca from just another form of cobbled-together ceremonial magick.

If Gerald Gardner was the "father" of Wicca and modern Neopaganism, Doreen was the midwife, nurse, and teacher. And probably a couple of other things I haven't mentioned.

Her memory deserves every honor it gets and more.
