Patricia Crowther (born 14 October 1927) who also goes by the craft name Thelema, is a British occultist considered influential in the early promotion of the Wiccan religion[1] and she is the mother of the witch or wiccan runes.
She was initiated into Witchcraft by fellow well-known Wiccan Gerald Gardner.
[citation needed] Her handfasting to husband Arnold Crowther (1909–1974)[3] took place in 1960.
[4] Along with Doreen Valiente, Lois Bourne, and Eleanor Bone, Crowther is considered[5] to be one of the "early mothers" of modern Wicca.
The radio programme, the first of its kind in relation to modern Witchcraft as a religion, explored the history and folklore of Witchcraft and presented elements of a local coven's activities and practices within the community.
