Queen of the witches tells Alexandrians to stop clawing each other’s eyes out

Maxine Saunders defends Christian Day again

The witch world has turned in on itself again, and Maxine Saunders, Queen of the Witches, has had quite enough of it.

Speaking about the endless squabbling that has gripped parts of the craft community, Saunders tore into those she sees as petty, power-hungry busybodies.

“Say to those people who are distracted from the work by lots of infighting and bickering. Oh, have I got opinions on that now,” she said, clearly exasperated.

“There’s so much viciousness in the craft, judgmental nastiness. They forget themselves. Somebody picks on someone who’s been a bad boy, and then others pile in instead of just asking, ‘Are you bad?’”

Saunders went on to describe the craft’s current state as “vicious,” filled with self-appointed judges who “have no power in their own circle and nothing better to do.” She insisted that the backbiting should stop, calling it “unnecessary” and “nobody’s business.”

The Queen of the Witches then turned her broom toward a specific controversy shaking the occult community — the storm surrounding Christian Day. Day has been at the centre of outrage after his remarks about Palestinians eating each other, which many condemned as inflammatory. Yet Saunders defended him, saying the wider witch world had “gone a bit crazy.”

She described him as “a man who used to be a really bad bugger, who’s become an initiate and is really trying to be a good man. He doesn’t have to try. He’s got an excellent heart.”

Acknowledging his sharp tongue, Saunders added, “He can’t help but be nasty if someone prods him the wrong way. So he’s very vicious. But all that energy these people are using to bicker and backbite, what is the matter with them? I know what it is. They haven’t got enough knitting needles.”

It was vintage Saunders: blunt, defensive of her allies, and thoroughly unimpressed by what she sees as a community more obsessed with drama than the divine.

Spectral Evidence conference organiser tells Palestinians to eat each other

Wiccan warlock Christian Day [pictured] has caused disgust and outrage after telling starving Palestinians to turn cannibal. The twisted occultist made the shocking comment on Facebook after someone posted: “Palestinian kids are out of food and the world is doing nothing.” Day sneered back: “They can always dine on one another. I’m surprised they haven’t eaten the hostages yet.” Day is already notorious. He was shunned by a large number of covens who felt that the world needed to be protected from his antics. These range from trolling to nasty, abusive posts Despite being cast out, Day continues to flog his Spectral Evidence convention, an online occult jamboree boasting 75 lectures. Day is alleged to have doxed fellow pagans, handing their names and addresses to a far-right Christian church. Though he hurriedly deleted the details, the damage was done, and extremists were effectively given a hit list. Critics say he is courting controversy...

Witch Queen backs “Abusive Priest” as fury erupts in Wiccan circles

Co-founder of Alexandrian Witchcraft and Witch Queen Maxine Sanders has thrown petrol on an already blazing row in the occult world after publicly defending Christian Day, a notorious witch with a rap sheet of scandals longer than most people’s Book of Shadows . Day, who runs the online Spectral Evidence shin-dig, has already hit headlines for all the wrong reasons. Most recently , he suggested Palestinians should be “eating their children” and has been dragged through court accused of elder abuse; he has also been slammed for stalking, racism and general nastiness. Yet instead of keeping her distance, Sanders shocked many by leaping to his defence in a Facebook post, even mocking one of his accusers and brushing the whole saga off as little more than community drama. She wrote a lengthy post calling the criticism “spectacle dressed up as accountability.” She singled out one of Day’s alleged victims, using the mocking nickname “Spikey,” and accused him of hypocris...

Occult book boss nicked my sigils

NOTED Golden Dawn scholar Olen Rush has accused Kerubim Press chief Dean Wilson [AKA Frater Yechidah] of stealing his research on tarot sigils and trying to pass it off as his own mystical revelation. Rush, author of A Short Treatise on the Sigils of the Scales , claims Wilson half inched his documented work on how Golden Dawn “King” and “Queen” court cards combine to form “Prince Sigils”. Rush insists the material, first published in 2010, was later dressed up by Wilson as if it had been spiritually revealed to him. Rush says the proof lies in old blog posts and emails from 2012 where Wilson not only praised his book but asked permission to link to it. He accuses Wilson of now denying ever having read the work while presenting its core ideas as his own. “He had the audacity to suggest we compare findings when he had already borrowed mine,” Rush said. The sigils are an obscure part of the Golden Dawn tradition, and Rush is the expert. Golden Dawn insiders note that Rush’s ...
