2025 Exhibition: Alexandrian Witchcraft

The Museum of Witchcraft and Magic unveils its latest exhibition featuring items from the collection of Maxine Sanders.

The Museum of Witchcraft and Magic is proud to announce a groundbreaking new exhibition showcasing an extraordinary selection of magical objects from the private collection of renowned witch and occultist Maxine Sanders. Many of these artifacts, rich in esoteric history and ritual significance, have never been seen before by the public.

‘The Circle of The Wise – Items from a History of Alexandrian Witchcraft’, exhibition offers visitors a rare opportunity to explore the tools, talismans and ceremonial objects used by one of the most influential groups in modern witchcraft. Maxine Sanders, a pivotal figure in the development of Alexandrian Witchcraft, alongside her late husband Alex Sanders, has long been revered for her contributions to the contemporary magical tradition.

“This is a momentous occasion for the Museum. Maxine Sanders has been a guiding force in the world of witchcraft and her personal collection provides an intimate glimpse into the spiritual and practical workings of a dedicated practitioner. The exhibition not only highlights these powerful objects but also tells the story of a life devoted to the Craft.” Simon Costin, director of the MWM.

Among the treasures on display are handwritten spell-books, photographs and a selection of ritual tools, that have played key roles in historical rites and trace the evolution of Alexandrian Wicca.
