About Me

Raymond Buckland is probably best known as an agent of Gerald B. Gardner. It was Buckland who was responsible for introducing Gardnerian Witchcraft into America in 1964. He is the founder of his own tradition, Seax-Wca, and for a time, operated is own museum of Witchcraft in America. He has been a leading spokesman for the Craft spanning 3 decades. He is an author, a Witch!As a child, Buckland was brought up in the Church of England, but had no particular interest in the religion. When he was 12 years old, his uncle, a practising Spiritualist, introduced him to Spiritualism and sparked his life long interest in all things occult.By this time, Buckland was already an avid reader, and started to read all he could find on alternative religions and such related subjects as Ghosts, ESP, Magick, VooDoo and Witchcraft. After the war, Buckland became interested in acting and soon became involved in the theater. He regulary performed in the People's Theater in Nottingham and the Nottingham Repertory Theater. In 1951, the family moved back to London, where Buckland studied first at King's College in Wimbledon, before gaining a doctorate in anthropology from Brantridge Forest College in Sussex.After leaving college, he worked as a draftsman for an engineering firm and married his first wife, Rosemary Moss. Together they had two sons. In 1957, he joined the Royal Air Force but only served a short time, leaving in 1959. Buckland worked in retail as a manager for a publishing firm and learned to play the trombone. Thanks to George KnowlesLayout made by LealaRenee
