Author, astrologer, antique dealer, entrepreneur. Leek wrote more than 40 books on astrology, ESP, and Witchcraft. She is best known for her international bestseller "Diary of a Witch." She is also known for "The Complete Art of Witchcraft," "My Life in Astrology," and her magazine, "Sybil Leek's Astrology."
In the late 1950s, Sybil lived in Burley village, Hampshire, England, where she was the high priestess of the Horsa coven and Three Acres Coven (unconfirmed) in the New Forest. She was often seen walking through the village wearing a long black cloak with her pet jackdaw, Mr. Hotfoot Jackson, perched on her shoulder.
Ms. Leek owned several antique shops and worked as a reporter specializing in forest ways. As she spent nearly a year living with Romani, her knowledge of the New Forest was excellent. The BBC filmed a documentary about her life, calling her "Britain's most famous witch." Due to her notoriety, her home was besieged by people wanting to see and talk to a real Witch.
In the early sixties, Ms. Leek toured America to promote her first book, "A Shop in the High Street" (1962). When her landlord refused to renew her lease, Leek immigrated to the United States and became a media favorite.
TV, radio, and print media featured Sybil, including "To Tell the Truth," "The Mike Douglas Show," "Oh, My Word," and "The David Frost Show." Barbara Walters interviewed Sybil twice on "The Today Show" (1966).
In the mid-1960s, Sybil established a Craft line in Pa., calling it the "North American arm" of Horsa. In Houston and Las Vegas, Sybil joined forces with authors Charmaine Dey and Tarostar in cofounding a new tradition of Wicca, called "Sacred Pentagraph," which they based on the traditional lodge system.
Sybil died of cancer in Melbourne, Fla., in 1982. Sacred Pentagraph and the U.S. Horsa Coven of the Wolfa are still active, with hive groups around the country and northwestern Canada.
