Sybil Leek


Born
in The United Kingdom
February 22, 1917

Died
October 26, 1982

Genre


Dubbed "Britain’s most famous witch" by the BBC.

Because she rose to media fame in the 1950s after the repeal of the 1735 Witchcraft Act in 1951, she had an effect upon the formation of neopagan witchcraft, namely the religion of Wicca. Strong in defense of her beliefs, Sybil sometimes differed and even quarrelled with other witches. She disapproved of nudity in rituals and was against the use of drugs, but she was at odds with most other witches in that she did believe in cursing. She was one of the first of the modern day witches to take up environmental causes.

“The most effective way to win power is to deride, ridicule, and then persecute your competition. The majority turns on the minority, and persecution is accomplished even more quickly if all the evils which beset the majority are attributed to the minority.”
