Sepharial, born in 1864, was known to friends as Walter Gorn Old.  His early days were as a Theosophist.  (H.P. Blavatsky is said to have called him the Astral Tramp.)  Leaving Theosophy, he associated for a time with Alan Leo's gang and wrote numerous books on astrology.  An astrologer, clairvoyant and occultist, towards the end of his life he became a charismatic Christian.  He had a life-long interest in horse racing.  He died in 1929.
