Patricia Crowther was initiated as a witch by Gerald Gardner, the founder of modern Wicca, and was a public promoter of Wicca in its early days.
She formed a coven in Sheffield in 1961 with her husband Arnold Crowther and wrote several books on the subject including Witchcraft in Yorkshire
A Spell of Witchcraft was produced for Radio Sheffield. Although some sources say it was actually broadcast on 7 January 1971 - a day later than the date given on the Witches' Calendar - it still claims the honour of being the first radio show in Britain on witchcraft.

Hi Badwitch,
Thanks for another informative podt. The Witch blood! The diary of a witch high priestess, is it out of print? I can't find it on Amazon.
Hugs,
