Cecil Williamson (18 September 1909 – 9 December 1999) was a British screenwriter, editor and film director and influential English Neopagan Warlock.
After studying in college, Williamson travelled to Rhodesia (modern Zimbabwe) to grow tobacco, where his servant, Zandonda, taught him about African magic.
In 1930, Williamson returned to Britain and moved to London, where he began working as a production assistant at several film studios.
As a hobby, he continued to investigate the occult, beginning to collect objects and became an acquaintance of Margaret Murray, Montague Summers and Aleister Crowley.
[citation needed] An April 1944 news report, while not mentioning the Witchcraft Research Center nor Williamson, reflects their area of expertise in claiming Goebbels was going to 'harness fortune telling, astrology, and necromancy to his propaganda machine'.
At Windsor, Williamson's museum remained open for a year, and was quite successful, but was again forced out due to local opposition.
