The movement was founded in Eastborne, England by Simon Peter Fuller and the Wholistic World Vision group. In 1990 Spirit guidance is said to have triggered major Earth-energy rituals in England. These culminated in the making of an Aquarian Cross in Jerusalem and a ceremonial raising on Glastonbury Tor on April 21st 1991. The event was called an 'Aeon shift' and signifies the movement, approximately every 200 years, of the main planetary energy centre at the start of the new age. Since this time Simon Peter Fuller has travelled the world speaking of the Second Coming of the Christ Consciousness, while using the Aquarian Cross as a focal point for energy re-alignment work on many of the Earth's sacred sites of power.

"After the witch-hunting fury of the 17th century, witchcraft declined in England. Some 300 years after the Witch-Finder General, Matthew Hopkins, had terrorized the eastern countries, a series of books appeared which set the scene for the modern reappearance of the ancient craft. Margaret Murray's The Witch-Cult in Western Europe (1921) argued that witchcraft had not been an anti-Christian perversion but the survival of pre-Christian paganism. IN 1949 Gerald Gardner published a novel High Magic's Aid, which purported to give authentic details of witchcraft practice; this was followed five years later by a non-fiction book, Witchcraft Today... Gardner proselytized for the witches in a further book, The Meaning of Witchcraft published in 1959, and attracted a great deal of largely hostile publicity from the newspapers befor his death in 1964.

Since migrating in the 1960s, Witchcraft has grown and taken a particularly American flavor.

"For a while the movement seemed to flourish with an estimated 40 to 50 thousand practicing witches in the U.S. alone, though the number is quite impossible to verify. But witchcraft was never really organized... hostility toward modern witchcraft actually seemed to decline in the U.S. during the 1980s... By the 1990s, however, the popularity of modern witchcraft seemed to be fading. Since it was never possible to determine how many people were actually committed to witchcraft, it is of course impossible to know how far their numbers have fallen. But there has certainly been a sharp drop in publicity... Religious groups that have stepped up their denunciations of all occult groups... have once again begun to energetically denounce witchcraft--but there now is very little left to denounce. Witchcraft seems to have been absorbed into that large and amorphous body of beliefs and practices known as New Age Religion. "
