Ostara 2000 Newsletter Editorial

"doreenvaliente.com is being released on midnight 1st Sept 2000, to mark the first anniversary of her passing. Doreen left behind the largest single private collection of witchcraft memorabilia in the world including some very important writings, manuscripts, letters from various occultists, 4000 rare books and a photo of Gerald Gardner's original and oldest version of the Book of Shadows.

doreenvaliente.com will contain for example: photos of her altar, the sword of John Score, the scourge of Dorothy Clutterbuck of the famous New Forest coven and the birth certificate of Dafo who initiated Gardner. It is truly a condensed history of Wicca!

doreenvaliente.com will feature video tributes from friends and former coven members of Doreen.

We hope you will visit the website and help inform others that may be interested in the history of Wicca. We are working with the Centre For Pagan Studies UK and many other leading UK Wiccans and would like you to join us in bringing this project together."
