We speak more on the grisly end of Jack Parsons after the tragic explosion in his laboratory, and how this can be seen as fulfilling some of the words of Babalon transmitted by Hubbard in the earlier workings of the two magicians; strange parallels with the story of John Dee and Edward Kelley; questions of how to interpret the ‘weird stuff’ that starts happening when people start messing with magick; some notes on the practice of magick from a practitioner; and L. Ron Hubbard’s status as ‘the most successful magician of the twentieth century’.
Interview Bio:
Peter Grey is a magician, scholar of esotericism, and part of Scarlet Imprint, occult publishers to the stars (heh). His latest book, The Two Antichrists, is out now.

two questions:
1. Was the use of that image on a post where L Ron Hubbard is described as “the most successful magician of the 20th century” a ritual summoning of Kenneth Anger so he would hex you personally?
2. Did it work?
But seriously. There’s still an OTO lodge in LA in the basement of a mini mall pretty close to JPL. I went to a mass there once and found it kind of underwhelming. Afterwards, a man in white jeans introduced himself in a bizarre deep voice and with such theatrically intense eye contact that I felt embarrassed for him. I think someone said he had just gone up a degree. Not my scene!
Anyways, the book link is broken. That’s the real reason I started writing a comment. (But maybe do a small ritual to appease Kenneth Anger just to be sure. Like a fabulous, cruel little lie for each cardinal direction or something. It can’t hurt.)

Thanks for the warnings (better safe than sorry!). As far as I am aware, it didn’t work; if it had, you would have a SHWEP interview with Kenneth Anger on the occasion of his materialising in my room or whatever.
Link fixed; thanks for the tip-off.
