About this episode
This week on the Otherworld Patreon, we are diving deep into the mysterious life of Jack Parsons, an inventor, pioneer of rocket engineering, a founder of NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, and a very dedicated occultist.
Parsons was deeply involved in the occult, becoming a prominent member of Aleister Crowley's Thelema religion and engaging in various mystical and esoteric practices. Parsons' home in Pasadena became a base camp for all sorts of unusual characters and people affiliated with the occult. Jack also became friends with a specific young author who would one day become very famous... Jack Parsons' life was a fascinating blend of scientific genius and occult mysticism, making him a uniquely enigmatic figure in 20th-century history. In this episode I am joined by friend of the show Wolf Fleetwood-Ross to unravel the strange story of Jack Parsons' life.
