Rocketman: The Parsonage

From rocket scientist to occult leader—Episode 2 of Rocketman takes us inside the infamous Parsonage, the decaying Pasadena mansion where Jack Parsons transformed from aerospace pioneer into high priest of the bizarre. We explore his discovery of Aleister Crowley's Thelema, his rapid rise to lead the Agape Lodge, and the strange community of scientists, artists, and mystics who gathered under his roof. Then comes the arrival of L. Ron Hubbard and their collaboration on the Babalon Working—eleven days of ritual in the Mojave Desert aimed at incarnating a goddess. When a mysterious red-haired woman appears at the Parsonage gates, Parsons believes he's succeeded. Crowley believes his disciple has lost his mind.
