Philip Heselton (born 1946) is a retired British Conservation Officer, a Wiccan initiate, and a writer on the subjects of Wicca, Paganism and Earth mysteries. He is best known for two books, ''Wiccan Roots: Gerald Gardner and the Modern Witchcraft Revival'' and ''Gerald Gardner and the Cauldron of Inspiration'', which gather historical evidence surrounding the New Forest coven and the origins of Gardnerian Wicca. In his non-literary life his interest in landscape led to a degree in Geography and a career in Town and Country Planning; eventually he became a Conservation Officer for Hull City Council before his retirement in 1997.〔(Interview with Philip Heselton ), The Wiccan/Pagan Times.〕 ==1960s–1970s: Ley hunting== Heselton has been described by Allen Watkins, son of Alfred Watkins, as the person who "...led the post-war revival of academic and practical interest in Leys".〔Watkins, Allen (1972) ''Alfred Watkins of Hereford'', Garnstone Press, London.〕 In 1962, Heselton and others collaborated to form the Ley Hunters' Club, a revival of Alfred Watkins' Straight Track Club. The Ley Hunters worked on a hypothesis that Ley lines were not just prehistoric trackways, but were in some way connected with UFOs.〔Screeton, Paul (1974). ''Quicksilver Heritage. The Mystic Leys: Their Legacy of Ancient Wisdom''. Thorsons Publishers, Wellingborough, p.37.〕 Heselton edited the first issues of the club's journal, ''(The Ley Hunter )'', in 1965–66 and frequently contributed articles to the journal when it reappeared between 1969 and 1976.
