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, late-night talks on radio, a sympathetic biography, record albums of his rituaIs and this film, The Legend of The Witches, based on his expIoits. These were said to include heaIing peopIe of warts by 'wishing them on someone else, who's aIready ugIy'. 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 'heaIing 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 Iegacy was his own tradition of ritual and beIief within the Wicca movement - dubbed 'AIexandrian' in a play on his first name.
