The Sex-Cult ‘Antichrist’ Who Rocketed Us to Space: Part 1
Jack Parsons practiced the occult and led a sex cult. He was also one of history’s most important rocket scientists.
Jack Parsons was a brilliant rocket scientist, but he lived a wild lifestyle. With a devil-may-care attitude, he was pretty relaxed about safety and dabbled in drugs, occult practices, and sex-cult rituals. It would all eventually catch up to him though. Continue with Part 2 of this two-part series.
But a few months after securing a new job, Parsons got caught stealing documents, reportedly to sell to foreign governments. He got fired again, and the FBI stripped him of his security clearance permanently.
Frustrated, unable to work, Parsons soon embraced occultism completely. He declared himself the Antichrist. He also began visiting prostitutes for more sex-magick rituals. The poor women must have been terrified.
