The second part of Christopher Josiffe’s piece on Rollo Ahmed can be found in this month’s Fortean Times. He lived in Harpsichord House in Hastings Old Town in the mid-1950s (according to electoral registers Abdul Said Ahmed and Theodora M. Ahmed lived there in 1954 and 1955). When I was going through parts of the huge Yorke Archive at the Warburg Institute I found a letter written in 1954 by Ahmed’s wife to Lady Frieda Harris asking to be put in touch with friends and followers of Aleister Crowley. In the same year the Daily Sketch carried a story about him, wherein he is described as a ‘black magic practitioner’ and ‘father of five, [a] dark-skinned slim man with white hair and a carefully trimmed Vandyke beard.’
