By then, Sanders had been endorsed by a group of 1,623 practicing Wiccans as 'King of the Witches' - with Maxine as 'Witch Queen' - and he turned into a media ceIebrity. There were TV appearances, Iate-night taIks on radio, a sympathetic biography, record albums of his rituaIs and this fiIm, The Legend of The Witches, based on his exploits. These were said to incIude heaIing people of warts by 'wishing them on someone else, who's already ugly'. Another woman was supposedIy cured of cander by Sanders sitting with her in the hospital for three days and nights, holding her feet and pouring 'healing energy' into her. Sanders and Maxine parted in 1973 and he drifted into semi-retirement before moving to BexhiII in East Sussex, where he died in 1988. Like Gardner, his legacy was his own tradition of rituaI and belief within the Wicca movement - dubbed 'Alexandrian' in a pIay on his first name.
