These magicks are definitely not at all ineffective. The expansion of the magical realms and techniques he devised are to my mind are the work magical genius. Adepts like Kevin C and others were<br />most fortunate to be trained by such an exeptional witch. <br /><br />- Leonard Stevens <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817682567561164198.post-3501378946190164742013-09-04T11:20:47.286-05:002013-09-04T11:20:47.286-05:00I knew Alex very well, also Derek.

The ordo Della Nova was a work carried out by Sanders, Derek Taylor and a few initiates in the 1980's. A basic article can be found here: http://webspace.webring.com/people/ub/boucca_society/alexandderek.html<br /><br />The argument is that Wicca, which is primarily earth based needs a stellar counter image. The work seems genuine, and the method of trance shannelling (very Dee and Kelly) was worked in the presence of Vivianne Crowley who wrote about it. <br />I was in contact with a Jon Tapsell of the hexagon archives who recorded some of this work on the archive (then a website) and had done some intense work with Derek Taylor in recording the work (who continued the work after Sanders death). the last i heard from Jon he was working on a biography of Derek Taylor and his work. This was about 5 or 6 years ago, and I have since lost contact and the website has long since come down. A website has popped up with an individual claiming to continue this work: http://nova.freeoda.com/AnthonyAllard.html<br />As sanders was a serial plagarist, and some of his stellar work is obviousily derived from the Order of the Morning Star, though I do not know if this is directly the work of the ODN. For details on the Order of the Morning Star (OMS)- http://www.sheridandouglas.co.uk/OMS.htm<br />the teachings of the OMS have been variousily pubklished or mentioned by such individuals as David Goddard, Michael Howard and Nigel Jackson. the work continues today.<br /><br />As a final note, there is a third order which is the ORDRINE SCATERE STELLAE, opperative as an explicit order working with Alexandrian Witchraft with expansions through ritual magick. It works a four degree structure and still opperates in a coven setting. <br /><br />I am not, nor have i ever been a member of any of the groups mentioned and this is shared in the spirit of goodwill. As such i cannot comment on the veracity of the claims of these orders, or their operational health.<br />Hope this helps in your search,<br />93/93<br /><br />Frater Docet Umbra<br /><br />93/93Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817682567561164198.post-74931197594078150812012-07-29T21:35:46.367-05:002012-07-29T21:35:46.367-05:00@Jack - sorry about that, the link has been fixed....@Jack - sorry about that, the link has been fixed.Frater.Barrabbashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689013897789072360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817682567561164198.post-78449226569972206682012-07-29T21:02:24.668-05:002012-07-29T21:02:24.668-05:00The first link you have, on the previous Sanders r...The first link you have, on the previous Sanders related entry, appears to be dead.Jack Fausthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13693993943756621762noreply@blogger.com
