A Coin for the Ferryman: The Death and Life of Alex Sanders

Alex Sanders, founder of the Alexandrian tradition of Witchcraft and known to many as “King of the Witches,” lived a life of mythic proportions. Rising out of virtual obscurity to become one of the most charismatic and controversial figures of modern Wicca, Alex was many things to many people. A teacher, friend, father, husband. In short, a man like any other man. And yet his was a life lived without compromise. His personal vision of Witchcraft and his tireless love for the Goddess would influence thousands of seekers who would come after and inspire a new generation toward the Inner Mysteries. But Alex’s saintly side was as grand as his demonic side. He could inspire hate as easily as love. Never one to shy away from the spotlight, Alex was ever the showman. He cared little for the opinion of others and kept true to his own ideal despite the consequences. His was a life well lived, but like any other life, was built of extremes - light, dark, joy, and despair. For the first time ever, Jimahl di Fiosa tells the true story of Alex Sanders - neither demon nor saint - but somewhere in between the two.

Jimahl di Fiosa is a respected Elder and High Priest of Alexandrian Witchcraft. His interest in the occult spans many years. In 1999 he caused a big splash in the pagan publishing world when he penned his first book, “A Voice in the Forest, Spirit Conversations with Alex Sanders”. The book became an overnight success with critics and readers alike and is now considered to be a classic of pagan literature. In 2010 he completed work on “All the King’s Children, the Human Legacy of Alex Sanders” which in two short weeks after release had literally swept the world and was being read as far away as Japan and India. Jimahl considers “A Coin for the Ferryman” to be the third book in what he refers to as “The Alex Trilogy.” Jimahl makes his home in New England with his husband Karagan .
