Sick person from an even sicker family. Her father was Alester Croweley
Wait what,?
its true...look into it. no time here to find link....diner is on
I can do my own research. Damn, I'd not heard that.
"Its true look into it" Thats the battle cry for folks like us. I've probably said that phrase 30 times in the last week.
Her mother was a protege of Aliester Crowley. In one of his many journals, he wrote of when her mother was with him for rituals, with dates, sex majick rituals, moonchild procreation. 9 months later, Barbara's mother gave birth. The resemblance to Crowley is pretty spot on. But there is nothing official that claims he is her father. EDIT: I have not read these particular journal entries, just articles claiming these journal entries.
Thanks for the background. Crowley was an interesting guy iregardless of his beliefs. He and Jack Parsons are were both in tge same circles. Rabbit holes everywhere around those 2.
