	Llewellyn Encyclopedia: Doreen Valiente
		Among the most influential figures in modern Wiccan history, Valiente was born in south London but raised in the West Country, where Witchcraft folklore was a significant part of everyday life well into the twentieth century.
		Valiente became Gardner’s High Priestess shortly thereafter, and played a major role in revising the original Wiccan rituals, excising substantial passages borrowed from the works of Aleister Crowley (1875-1947).
		For the remainder of her life, Valiente was active in English Wiccan circles; she wrote a number of books on the subject of Wicca, and by her last years was widely seen as the grande dame of English Wicca.

		Doreen was promptly sent away to a convent school, although she did not stay long, and left when she was fifteen never going back.
		Doreen rose to the occasion, and after a long and valiant battle lobbying the establishment, and Mr Roberts, who it has to be said had been uninformed as to what modern Witchcraft actually was and involved, decided not continue to pass the new laws.
		Doreen was heart broken and could not hide her sadness, not even from her close friends.

	Doreen Valiente - The Mind-N-Magick Paganpedia
		Doreen Valiente (1922]] - 1999) was a co-creator of Wicca, together with Gerald Gardner.
		Valiente also wrote a number of poems for the use of Wiccans, including the first version of Charge of the Goddess.
		Faced with challenges from sceptics Valiente attempted, with some success, to provide evidence for Gardner's claims concerning his intitiation, notably by identifying Dorothy Clutterbuck, the old witch who was supposed to have performed the initiation in an essay published in Eight Sabbats for Witches by Janet and Stewart Farrar.

		Doreen Valiente and Gerald Gardner were responsible for bringing Wicca into the twentieth century and, in their books, provide details based on the original ancient traditions, thus retaining the magic and vitality of this old religion.
		I commend Valiente for refraining from both insisting that witches have always done things as they are done today and accusing those like Gardner from inventing modern witchcraft from whole cloth.
		She refers to the correspondences that she specifies as, "In Britain, a time-honored attribution." By giving a concise indication of the geography of this tradition indicates that she would expect the elemental correspondences to be attributed differently in other geographical locations.

		What's important in this book is that it's written from the heart and provides valuable insight into the mind of Doreen Valiente, and it will inspire future generations to keep their magic real.

		Also, Valiente's objectivity and otherwise scholarly approach to her subjects is occasionally strained by personal asides, fragmented reasoning and leaps of faith.
		Valiente was one of the first students of Gerald Gardner, who masterminded the rebirth of the Craft in this century.

	Wiccan History
		We, ourselves, have been responsible (with Doreen Valiente) for writing the most indepth examinations of how modern Wicca developed.
		We believe Aidan's conclusion was correct; Gardnerian Wicca was a creation of Gerald Gardner, and his High Priestesses, but more importantly, it was a creation of Doreen Valiente who converted much existing material from literature into poetry for the Rites.
		There was in fact only six months between them in age (Doreen Valiente obtained the birth certificate of Ms D Clutterbuck).
