Salute to founder of first witchcraft museum
It's 133 years since the birth of the founder of modern witchcraft.
Englishman, Gerald Gardner, was internationally recognised as the father of wicca and paganism, but brought his own slice of the occult to the Isle of Man.
Following his retirement in 1961, he turned the Mill by Castle Rushen High School into the world's first 'witchcraft museum'.
It was eventually sold into private hands in the 70s, but James Franklin from Culture Vannin says it was a fascinating place:
