From the liner notes

Legend of the Witches is a documentary on witchcraft in England. The original cut of the film contained so much full-frontal nudity that it received an X rating.

Originally X-rated (because it tried to sneak a lot of full-frontal nudity past the British censors), this is a real period piece documenting the beliefs and practices of Alex Sanders (Britain’s self-proclaimed ‘King of the Witches’) and the circle of witches, which under his leadership, electrified the popular imagination and attracted many into the Wiccan path.

The documentary begins with sweeping shots of seascapes and ancient, elemental landscapes over which the film’s narrator begins his tale of the ancient witch mythology, of the Goddess Diana and her consort Lucifer, the sun. The film also covers issues such the mysteries of earth energy, altered states, the pagan traces that survive in pre-reformation churches, the persecutions and the rebirth of the old religion.

The documentary also explores Britain’s hidden pagan heritage and the influence it has on contemporary times. Visiting the Witchcraft museum in Cornwall, it reveals many ancient artifacts - and some more modern examples of spell-casting that prove witchcraft to be a thriving pursuit in this age.
