Sharon Day
Sharon Day is a publisher, writer, and Alexandrian Witch and Priestess.
It began with a friendship with Maxine Sanders, co-founder of the Alexandrian tradition, a bond that drew Sharon, in time, across the threshold and into the Craft itself. What she found was no relic: the tradition began in 1960s London and has never stopped, but its history lay scattered in drawers, albums, and memories.
Through the Alexandrian Witchcraft archive she gathers that record, and through Rose Ankh Publishing she keeps the tradition in print: the history told truthfully, and a widening circle studying its fabric together, so what was begun carries on long after any one of us.
“History is made every day, even if we do not recognise it as such while we are living it.”

The Witch as Psychopomp
The psychopomp, the guide of souls, is one of the oldest roles the witch has held, and one of the least spoken of. Sharon Day turns to that threshold: what the Craft understands of death, of guiding, and of the work that waits on the other side of the veil.

The Coven of the Stag King
Sharon’s practice continues within The Coven of the Stag King. Of the work itself, little is said, and that is as it should be. The tradition has always made its home in the space between what is recorded and what is kept.
