Gerald Gardner Memorial

Description

Copyright Info www.copyrighted.com/copyrights…

On this day in 1964, Gerald Brosseau Gardner died while aboard the "Scottish Prince" while on his way home to England. He suffered a fatal heart attack at the breakfast table. He was buried in Tunisia, the ship's next port of call, and his funeral was attended only by the ship's captain. He was 79 years old. Several years after Gardner's death, Eleanor Bone visited North Africa and went looking for Gardner's grave. She discovered that the cemetery he was interred in was to be redeveloped, and so she raised enough money for his body to be moved to another cemetery in Tunis where it currently remains. In 2007, a new plaque was attached to his grave, describing him as being "Father of Modern Wica. Beloved of the Great Goddess".
