Gardner (b 1884 d 1964) founder of the Wiccan Movement.
Currently, the term "Gardnerian Wiccan" refers to traditional
Wicca, though it is more accurately split into several types: true
Gardnerianism (which is matriarchal) and Alexandrian (which relies
on the pair of Priest and Priestess). Goddess-centered, all
women's schools of Wicca exist as well, often referred to as Dianic
Wicca. This type of Wicca often blends in more non-Western
(African, Native American, Asian, and perhaps Graeco-Roman) aesthetics
and music. Traditional Wicca is usually "balanced" or
"M-F Wicca." Although the Priestess rules the Gardnerian
coven, the members are both male and female. Traditional or
common Wicca tends to manifest in Teutonic, Celtic, Gypsy or eclectic
forms that tend to have more of a gothic or "fairy" aesthetic.
