Alexandrian Witchcraft
Mystery, Power and the Enduring Legacy of Alex and Maxine Sanders

By William Wallworth, Maxine Sanders, John Callow and Sharon Day.

"To commemorate the centenary of the birth of Alex Sanders, one of the most influential figures in modern witchcraft, a landmark publication is scheduled for release in 2026. This scholarly volume brings together four leading figures: William Wallworth, genealogist and occultist; Maxine Sanders, co-founder of the Alexandrian Tradition; Dr John Callow, historian, author and occultist; and Sharon Day, historian, author and occultist.

In a unique collaboration, they examine the origins, development and ongoing significance of the Alexandrian Tradition of Witchcraft. Spanning a century of cultural transformation, from the countercultural movements of the 1960s to the complexities of the digital age, the book explores how the tradition has adapted, evolved, and maintained its influence within broader esoteric and spiritual contexts."

Victor H. Anderson An American Shaman

By Cornelia Benavidez, 2017

"In 1999, Victor Anderson, the founder of the American Witchcraft Feri Tradition, started a project with his long-time student and friend Cornelia Benavidez. At first, she didn't know that he was placing in her hands his last words to the world and especially to the initiates of the Feri Tradition, to be released when he felt his teachings would be the most needed. Now is that time. From the 1960s onwards, Victor Anderson revolutionized paganism. As Elder, Teacher and Grandmaster of the Feri Tradition, he trained some of the most influential voices in modern paganism and was respected worldwide..."

"... The book also includes an intriguing essay on Victor's introduction to the craft, by writer and artist Sara Star, and the intensive research done by genealogist William Wallworth on Victor's family."
