He then returned to England in order to attend the University of Leeds and graduated with a double honours degree in psychology and sociology in 1963.

[3][4] Shortly after his graduation in 1963, he was recruited by the University of Western Australia Adult Education Board to run their community arts programme.

He was able to persuade the Melbourne University Union Activities Department to appoint him their unpaid "Cosmologer, Living Work of Art and Shaman" in 1971.

At this time, shocked when the student pacifist society sent money to the Viet Cong, he founded Alf's Imperial Army devoted to sensational but non-violent warfare and regularly organised battles on campus.

He founded the Imperial British Conservative Party to provide a counterbalance to international capitalism and the various forms of Nazism.

Wearing his costume as a false prophet of the Church of England, or his wizard's pointy hat, he has spoken there at lunchtimes in the summer months.

Soon afterwards, accompanied by 49 assistant wizards, he came down by gondola from the Port Hills with tablets bearing the address of his new website.

[12] On 8 September 2003, the Wizard's large wooden house was destroyed by a fire, which Christchurch police treated as arson.
