The visiting magician with coven members lying on the floor, Chantry Cottage, 23 April 1975

Photograph, 23 April 1975. Photographic print from the Bexhill Observer's coverage of the ceremony reported on 26 April 1975. The unrobed blond man the paper described as a black magician bends over coven members lying on the floor of the temple, one in a pale robe and one in a dark shining robe, taking their hands. A figure in check trousers moves in the background. The museum lists the print as 'Black magician and hypnotised witches'. The paper's printed caption for this picture reads 'the black magician attempts to raise the girls from the floor', and its report says Sanders left the room as this happened. Byline: Jimmy Burke.
