From a review:
“King of the Witches” is a hugely entertaining, if pretty fantastical, biography of one of the leading figures of modern pagan witchcraft, Alex Sanders. Published in 1969 by June Johns, an author once described as having “made a living from writing sensationalist, poorly-researched and somewhat titillating books in the late 60s/early 70s”, and using photographs allegedly taken by her photographer husband without the permission of at least one of the major participants, this slim book is a wild romp through Alex Sanders’ early life with a focus on exploring his interest in all things magical.
Sanders was the consummate showman and trickster, and a grain of salt is required when reading this biography. It’s hard to say whether Johns believed everything Sanders told her, or whether she was simply writing in the vein of the sensationalist journalism so prevalent at the time, but nonetheless she does a good job of making some extraordinary events seem plausible. It’s likely that the exact details of Sanders’ life will never be fully revealed, but this book certainly covers many of his most interesting stories (at least, up until the publication date - Sanders went on to live for almost another 20 years).

Broken-record note for all who haven't yet discovered all the free book ressources available on the net: Mega.nz has decided to terminate my account due to copyright complaints again - the last time +16 GB of books were lost, this time it's 19 GB, and I'm not sure if I want to go to all that reuploading hassle yet again, either on mega or an alternative hoster, only to see my book stash posted here go down the drain again. The book sharing issue is already being discussed among both forum staff and members but in the meantime I'd like to ask you to download this book from annas-archive.org or welib.org.
There are 3 copies of the book available on Anna's just waiting for you, so why don't you help yourselves?
Download a zip file with my entire book stash here:
Collection - HoldAll Mega Collection (2025-07-14)
It's 31.06 GB large and contains every single book, paper, treatise, etc. I've ever posted here until my second mega.nz account got trashed on July 14, 2025, so you'll hopefully understand now why I'm so loathe to fulfill each and every reupload request, not least because most of the stuff is...

Thank you for your understanding.
