Wicca, a modern pagan witchcraft religion, was created by Gerald Gardner in the early 20th century. Gardner, a retired British civil servant, claimed to have been initiated into an existing coven of witches in the New Forest region of England in the 1930s. Inspired by the belief in an ancient witch-cult, Gardner sought to revive and modernize witchcraft practices in his own unique way. It is important to note that while Gardner is often credited with the creation of Wicca, it is likely that he drew upon pre-existing folk traditions, occult practices, and ceremonial magic to develop his own system of witchcraft. Gardner's writings, such as "Witchcraft Today" and "The Meaning of Witchcraft," brought attention to Wicca and helped popularize it as a contemporary religious movement. Gardner's Wicca emphasized the worship of a Goddess and a God, the practice of magick, and adherence to the ethical principles of the Wiccan Rede - "An it harm none, do what ye will.
The Magic has always appealed to the larger rider and we’re pleased to say the Mega Magic will offer the bigger guys and girls the opportunity to ride a board a foot or so shorter while still maintaining that all important buoyancy of the original Magic.
Whist the volume distribution is different the Mega Magic still boasts the same magic ingredients of the original Magic model; Walden s patented concave bottom, hard rails for manoeuvrability and performance and plenty of rocker to aid turning ability and comfort in more significant waves.

Gardner's Wicca emphasized the worship of a Goddess and a God, the practice of magick, and adherence to the ethical principles of the Wiccan Rede - "An it harm none, do what ye will." He also introduced the ritual tools, such as the athame (ritual knife) and the chalice, that have become iconic symbols of Wicca. After Gardner's death in 1964, his legacy was carried on by other practitioners who established their own traditions and variations of Wicca.

Some notable figures include Raymond Buckland, Doreen Valiente, and Starhawk, who further expanded and popularized the religion. Today, Wicca is a diverse and decentralized religious movement with various traditions, beliefs, and practices. While Gardner is considered the founder of Wicca, it is important to recognize the contributions of many individuals and the collective evolution of the religion over time..
