===USA: 1962–2017 ===
In the US, at that time he was head of the Anthropology Department at Columbia University. Buckland soon read the books ''[[The Witch-Cult in Western Europe]]'' by [[Margaret Murray]] and ''[[Witchcraft Today]]'' by [[Gerald Gardner]], which gave him an insight into the Witchcraft religion, or [[Wicca]] as it is now more commonly known. Some sources relay that Buckland had established a relationship with Gardner when he was living on the Isle of Man and running his witchcraft museum; it seems this relationship was by correspondence.
The two became friends, and had several telephone conversations, which led to Buckland becoming Gardner's spokesman in America{{Citation needed|date=April 2009}}. Buckland also met and befriended [[Margaret St. Clair]], author of the occult classic ''Sign of the Labrys''.<ref name="Clifton">[http://www.chasclifton.com/columns/column17.html "Letter From Hardscrabble Creek: Chasing Margaret"] by Chas.
