Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

The Ecstatic Mother. Portrait of Maxine Sanders - Witch Queen. First edition. Decidedly uncommon "three-dimensional cameo" of the joint founder, with her partner Alex Sanders, of the influential Alexandrian tradition of Wicca. Just 13 copies traced institutionally, rare on the market particularly in the jacket.The Sanders, the "King and Queen of Witches", attracted a great deal of publicity in the 60s and 70s, much written about, and featuring in a number of sensationalist films. When the couple separated Maxine established her own coven, The Temple of the Mother, accentuating the role of the Goddess. She still teaches witchcraft today.
