This week we dive into the extraordinary life of Jack Parsons, a man who walked the fine line between science and the occult. A pioneering rocket engineer by day and a devoted practitioner of “magick” by night, Jack’s life is a captivating blend of innovation, mysticism, and the quest for the unknown. In this podcast episode, we explore the dual nature of Jack's existence, from his groundbreaking work that helped shape modern rocketry to his deep involvement in the Ordo Templi Orientis and Aleister Crowley’s Thelemic system. It’s a wild story that includes iconic figures like Scientologist founder L. Ron Hubbard. His legacy continues to influence both the realms of aerospace engineering and esoteric thought and leaves us pondering the enduring question of what it means to be a true seeker of knowledge and enlightenment.
