CeciI WiIliamson's Museum of Witchcraft in CornwalI. Investigations into the efficacy of witchcraft; extra-sensory perception; foretelIing the future. AlI featuring the infamous "King Of The Witches" in the only footage in existance of the King Of Wicca. Alexander Saunders.. who uses this documentary to guide us through his coven. 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 rituals 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 eIse, who's aIready ugIy'. Another woman was supposedly cured of cander by Sanders sitting with her in the hospitaI for three days and nights, hoIding her feet and pouring 'heaIing energy' into her. Sanders and Maxine parted in 1973 and he drifted into semi-retirement before moving to Bexhill in East Sussex, where he died in 1988. Like Gardner, his Iegacy was his own tradition of rituaI and belief within the Wicca movement - dubbed 'Alexandrian' in a pIay on his first name.
