A PLACE AT THE TABLE
In this long awaited sequel to All the King’s Children - the Human Legacy of Alex Sanders, Jimahl diFiosa brings together 16 new Alexandrian initiates from around the world who share their life stories candidly, holding nothing back. What is it like to be an initiate of one of the most respected branches of traditional witchcraft in the world today? What were the life circumstances that led each of them to this particular path? What challenges did they face on their journey? The tales derive from the UK, Poland, Brazil, Portugal, South Africa and the USA. The stories told will transport readers from the haunted streets of New Orleans, to the ancient cathedrals of Italy, to remote European forests, to “Witch City USA”, and back in time to stand with Wendy, one of the first initiates in Alex and Maxine’s London coven. The stories told are inspiring. But they are also harrowing. A few of them may be difficult to read. Life is not always easy. Magically minded folks are not exempt from difficulties and challenges. But what makes these interviews so powerful is not that the tellers are Alexandrian initiates or even witches at all, but because each story is unapologetically human and therefore relatable to all. Each tale speaks to the resilience of human spirit, to the spark of hope in each of us that, despite adversity, moves us ever forward into a world of light, love, magic and limitless possibilities - to our place at the table.

A PLACE AT THE TABLE
“The seeker will benefit from the stories within these covers; the curious will find more than they anticipate and the experienced will probably chuckle at the mention of Alex’s sense of humour without which we would be rather dull witches.”

A PLACE AT THE TABLE
“Today there are thousands of books about witchcraft. Countless videos on YouTube and TikTok and an arsenal of photos on social media ready to dazzle new seekers and established practitioners alike. Every content creator or author is eager to grab the mic, get on stage, and define for the masses what they believe Art is. It is indeed very rare today to find a book ready to serve, particularly one that incorporates a fundamental tradition like the Alexandrian.
Jimahl diFiosa's new book, A Place at the Table, and its predecessor, All the King's Children, do just that, interweaving the stories and experiences of Alexandria's initiates. We are invited for a moment to peer into their unique experiences. From history to those who sit under the salt, the spell is cast. In this book, Jimahl continues to share the stories of our priesthood. He weaves a tapestry of beauty, freedom, and power that can always be found at the heart of our magic. This is a must-have book for anyone interested in the subject of Initiatory Art!”
in Brian Cain, High Priest of the Alexandrian Tradition of Witchcraft and author of the book "Initiation into Witchcraft"
“A Place at the Table by Jimahl DiFiosa continues his important work chronicling the legacy of Alex Sanders and the Alexandrian Tradition of Witchcraft with a collection of essays that lift up the voices of those who continue to illuminate this powerful path. I spent much of my magical life without knowing the secret flame veiled in the wisdom of initiatory witchcraft, not beginning that journey until later in life, and the tireless efforts 000000000222_de Jimahl helped to unravel some of these mysteries and continue to inspire countless potential initiates in this great work. Whether you are a seeker of that flame, a long-time initiate, or simply curious about the hidden histories of modern witchcraft, A Seat at the Table should be on your bookshelf!”
in Christian Day, Priest of the Alexandrian Tradition of Witchcraft and author of the book "Witches' Book of the Dead (Warlock Press 2021)

in Maxine Sanders, co-founder of the Alexandrian Tradition of Witchcraft, "The Guardian" Newsletter
"I received a book from America called A VOICE IN THE FOREST. I was prepared to doubt as there were so many false contacts with Alex. I worked with Alex in psychic circles for many years and knew his techniques well. The contact described in the book was so obviously true that it gave me goosebumps. After Alex's death, the rites of "Sending Forth" were performed... [but] it seems that Alex still had something to say, showing that some things never change."

“A VOICE IN THE FOREST is a very unusual read. In fact, I must say that I have never read a book like this.
... Alex Sanders gives the witchcraft community ... the message of true magic with responsibility, reverence for the Goddess, education and preservation of the Craft. They are all thoughts to keep at the forefront of our minds as we head into the new aeon.”
in Chas S. Clifton, critical literary,
American scholar, author and historian
“...A VOICE IN THE FOREST should interest anyone concerned with matters of mediumship and the establishment of what are sometimes called magical "contacts" in modern Witchcraft.
...The narrative pace is fast, and the depiction of the coven's necromantic ritual on Halloween 1998 – and its unforeseen consequences for one of the coven members – is reminiscent of Dion Fortune's book "The Secrets of Dr. Taverner". Fortune, although more compact. Most importantly, it raises an issue that many, if not most Wiccan groups, ignore: the importance of magical “contacts”.
... It takes an author like Jimahl... to remind us that communication with disembodied spiritual ancestors continues to be important to some modern witches.... Here is an opportunity for further scholarly investigation..."
LITERARY ANALYSIS – THE INNER CIRCLE
by Alexia Moon, owner of the «Sob o Luar» (Under the Moonlight), a site full of resources and home of the Pagan Directory, a useful tool for seekers in Portugal and Brasil. «Sob o Luar» (Under the Moonlight) is a project by Alexia Moon and it was created with the purpose of serving the Portuguese pagan community. It was born with the goal of helping, guiding, and directing. Its objective to assist all those who need aid along their pagan path and in the daily living of their pagan spirituality.
Today, I bring you a book that I consider, in my opinion, to be an extremely necessary piece for the Portuguese pagan communities: a book about Alexandrian Wicca, written by a priest from a coven of the Alexandrian Tradition (Coven de Tomar).
I had heard about the Coven de Tomar and the author some time ago, but I had the pleasure of speaking with both him and some members of the Coven, and even participating in a round table with Karagan at the 1st Ancestral Meeting (whose coverage you can see here), and I immediately became a fan of all his work.
And, as such, I did not miss the opportunity to acquire the book at the event.
This is a book that is quite comprehensive in the information it conveys. It is very accessible and written in an easy-to-understand language, filled with useful information such as the origins of Traditional Wicca and the Alexandrian tradition, including information about lineages and various people whose work was impactful for the emergence of the Alexandrian Tradition; it delves into the principles of the Tradition, touching on various important points, including a chapter dedicated to the concept of Initiation (which is so debated in the communities!) where the author explains how the process works within the Tradition, about the «Vouch» (something that, in my opinion, is excellent in a Tradition and that I really like in Wicca)! It also has a whole chapter about Covens, with a lot of information for those interested in joining a coven or understanding how they function.
Something I want to highlight about this book, and what makes me like it so much, is the author’s transparency. Without revealing any secret aspects of the Tradition (which exist, as with all Traditional Wicca Traditions), he manages to openly discuss all topics, including the more difficult ones such as sexual abuse and predators in the communities, gender identity issues, and even about ritual sexuality and ritualistic nudity. I found it very refreshing to read a book that is so sincere and genuine.
At the end of the book, the author includes a question and answer section which, I suppose, are questions that are frequently posed to the coven and to him personally. He also provides a small list of resources and literary recommendations, even scattered throughout the book.
I genuinely felt that «The Inner Circle» is a book that was missing in our communities. We have many Wicca books but few about Traditional Wicca, especially the Alexandrian Tradition, and especially those that have been written recently, and not 50 years ago (which, personally, I find important as we live in different contexts from those of the founders). It is a book that was missing from our communities and that I highly recommend to all those interested in the theme of the Alexandrian Tradition!
And you? Have you read this book? What did you think?
Meet Jimahl diFiosa, the enigmatic author whose words have illuminated the secrets of Alexandrian witchcraft. Born to humble roots in the heart of rural Appalachia, Jimahl’s lineage intertwines the earliest settlers of Penn’s Woods and the vibrant tapestry of an Italian heritage. As a child, he ventured alone into the embrace of nature, forging connections with spirits that others could not fathom. Jimahl’s life journey was marked by the courage to be different. In the midst of the 80s AIDS crisis, he navigated the turbulent waters of self-discovery as a gay man, documenting his poignant experiences with candid honesty. His path led him into the world of witchcraft in New England, where he sought understanding and acceptance in a rapidly changing world. With unwavering candor, Jimahl shares the chapters of his life—a heartfelt coming-out journey, occult training, and initiation into Wicca. He delves into his personal relationships, including a marriage that ended in divorce, and the pivotal moment of accepting his true self, which ultimately brought him to his soulmate. Jimahl’s remarkable narrative unfolds like an intimate conversation with an old friend. His story, marked by humility and humor, transcends the ordinary. From the boy in Appalachia to the celebrated author, his life is a testament to the enduring power of authenticity and the indomitable spirit of a man who became one of the most influential writers of our time.

Can anyone communicate with the spirits? Or do you have to be born with these abilities? The answer to both questions is yes. Yes, anyone can communicate with the spirits of those who are no longer incarnate. And yes, we have to be born with the ability to speak with spirits. If this appears to you as a contradiction in terms, I can assure you it is not. The greatest mystery surrounding spirit communication is that there is no mystery. We all are born with our psychic centers fully intact. We are all originally wired to enable us to function as effortlessly in the world of spirits as we do in the world of form. And there are no exceptions. What you do with this ability is entirely up to you. The dead are often just as unhappy because from their perspective it is the living who disconnect. And in response the spirits begin to speak a mantra of their own - I am still here. I can see you. I can hear you. Talk to me.
