Alexandrian Wicca
Alexandrian Wicca is a tradition of the Neopagan religion of Wicca, founded by Alex Sanders (also known as "King of the Witches") who, with his wife Maxine Sanders, established the tradition in the United Kingdom in the 1960s. Alexandrian Wicca is similar in many ways to Gardnerian Wicca, and receives regular mention in books on Wicca as one of the religion's most widely recognized traditions.〔See , and , amongst others.〕
==Origins and history==
The tradition is based largely upon Gardnerian Wicca, in which Sanders was trained, and also contains elements of ceremonial magic and Qabalah, which Sanders had studied independently.
The name of the tradition is a reference both to Alex Sanders and to the ancient occult library of Alexandria, which was one of the first libraries in the world.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.witchvox.com/va/dt_va.html?a=usxx&c=trads&id=8796 )〕 The choice of name was inspired by a view of the library as an early attempt to bring together the knowledge and wisdom of the world into one place.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Gay Pagans, Gay Witches...? )〕 Maxine Sanders recalls that the name was chosen when Stewart Farrar, a student of the Sanders', began to write ''What Witches Do''. "Stewart asked what Witches who were initiated via our Covens should be called; after much discussion, he came up with "Alexandrian" which both Alex and I rather liked. Before this time we were very happy to be called Witches".〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 work=The Wiccan/Pagan Times )〕 Conversely, the most recent edition of ''What Witches Do'' (2010) includes previously published interviews between Sanders and Farrar. In one interview from 1970 Sanders clearly states: "the Gardnerians call my witches Alexandrians", suggesting that it was not Farrar who coined the term.
Alexandrian Wicca is practiced outside of Britain, including Canada, the United States and Australia.
