BOMBING MOON: CONSIDER JACK PARSONS - CO-FOUNDER OF JET PROPULSION LABORATORY AND THE 'BABALON WORKING' RITUAL TO CREATE MAGICKAL MOONCHILD

John Whiteside Parsons (born Marvel Whiteside Parsons on October 2, 1914 – died June 17, 1952) was an American rocket propulsion researcher at the California Institute of Technology and co-founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Aerojet Corp.. An enthusiastic occultist, he was one of the earliest American devotees of Aleister Crowley, and a leading member of his organisation, Ordo Templi Orientis.
Parsons and the Space Age While his formal education was limited, Parsons demonstrated tremendous scientific aptitude, particularly in chemistry. His rocket research was some of the earliest in the United States, and his pioneering work in the development of solid fuel and the invention of JATO units for aircraft was of great importance to the start of humanity's space age. The noted engineer Theodore von Kármán, Parsons's friend and benefactor, declared that the work of Parsons and his peers helped usher in the age of space travel.[1] Parsons co-founded the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, commonly referred to as JPL
Parsons and the Occult Parsons was also an avid student and practitioner of the occult arts, and a Thelemite. He saw no contradiction between his scientific and magical pursuits, and before each rocket test launch, Parsons would invoke the Greek god Pan.
Parsons was chosen by Aleister Crowley to lead Agape Lodge of the Thelemic Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) in California, in 1942, after Crowley expelled Wilfred Smith from the position.[2]
Sara Northrup (aka "Sarah Elizabeth" or "Betty" Northrup), began living with Parsons after his wife, Sara's half-sister Helen Northrup, left with Wilfred Smith. Sara Northrup later married L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology and sometime magical partner of Parsons.
Parsons and Hubbard participated in a ritual known as the Babalon Working which is famous in occult circles — loosely, it was an attempt to summon a living goddess and change the course of history. Paul Rydeen writes:
The purpose of Parson's operation has been underemphasized. He sought to produce a magickal child who would be a product of her environment rather than of her heredity. Crowley himself describes the Moonchild in just these terms. The Babalon Working itself was preparation for what was to come: a Thelemic messiah. [3]
