About this item
Photocopied pages from Sussex Witchcraft by Noel F. Armstrong, 1976. Pages 20 to 23 carry the author's account of Alex Sanders, presenting him as the successor to Aleister Crowley and repeating claims about his childhood initiation by his grandmother and a mark said to have been given him by Crowley; page 23 credits him with leadership of 107 covens. Page 32 gives the author's address as President and Controller of Studies of the World Institute of Occult Sciences, 7 Albert Road, Bexhill. The claims are Armstrong's and Sanders' own accounts as retold by Armstrong, not established facts. Armstrong's dismissal as a store Father Christmas was reported by the Bexhill Observer on 17 December 1976, item 126. One entry for the three pages.
Byline: Noel F. Armstrong.
