Black Magic at Crematorium.

The cremation with mysterious ritual at Brighton Borough Crematorium last December of 72-year-old Aleister Crowley, self-styled “the world’s worst man.” who had been accused of practising black magic was criticised at Brighton Council meeting.

Councillor J. Sherrott declared: “The service was a black magic ritual.”

Councillor H. J. Robins, chairman of the Park Committee, responsible for the crematorium, said: “The crematorium was booked in the normal way. We have taken steps, however, to prevent such an occurrence again.”
