He endeavoured to express his spiritual state by wearing the green star of Esperanto, though he could not speak the language by refusing to wear a hat, even in London, to wash, and to wear trousers. He was an agnostic, a vegetarian, a mystic, a Tolstoyan, and several other things all at once. When he was 25, in around 1906, Neuburg came in contact with Crowley, also a poet, who had read some of Neuburg's pieces in the Agnostic Journal.
He was educated at the City of London School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he studied medieval and modern languages. Victor was brought up by his mother, Jeanette Neuburg, née Jacobs (1855–1939), and his maternal aunts. His father, Carl Neuburg, who had been born in 1857 in Pilsen, Bohemia, and was a commission agent based in Vienna, abandoned the family shortly after his son's birth. Neuburg was born into and raised in an upper middle-class Jewish family in Islington. He was an associate of Aleister Crowley and the publisher of the early works of Pamela Hansford Johnson and Dylan Thomas. He also wrote on the subjects of theosophy and occultism. Victor Benjamin Neuburg ( – ) was an English poet and writer.
