Sex And Rockets by John Carter
The Occult World of Jack Parsons
A compact, vivid biography that follows an eccentric American rocket pioneer who helped found early U.S. rocketry efforts while living a secret life of sex magic, occult devotion to Aleister Crowley’s Thelema, and bohemian excess. The narrative interweaves his technical innovations and public successes with clandestine rituals (including the notorious Babalon experiments), turbulent relationships and alliances with controversial figures, government scrutiny, and a mysterious 1952 death, arguing that his drive for scientific transcendence and mystical liberation made him both a visionary and a self-destructive celebrity of the Cold War era.
