Maxine Sanders
Edit ProfileCareer
Sometime during the 1960s, she was introduced to Alex Sanders. In 1964, while a student at secretarial college, she was initiated into Alex’s coven. Maxine and Alex were handfasted the next year.
lieutenant was about this time that the Sanders separated.
The Sanders became household names during the late sixties and early seventies. A record of the initiation of Janet Owen, "A Witch is Born", was released in 1970.
A biography of Alex appeared in 1969 (King of the Witches, by June Johns). Biographies of Maxine appeared in 1976 (Maxine: The Witch Queen) and 1977 (The Ecstatic Mother, by Richard Deutch).
Maxine remained in the London flat where, for many years, she continued running the coven and teaching the Craft.
More recently she has moved from the city and now lives in a rural setting. Though retired from the formal work of teaching she still travels and gives talks.
