raping". These invocations along with other passages in the
indicates that Parsons had collected specimens of his
own sperm & the girl's menstrual fluid.
The climax of the ceremony occured the following day with
Ron at the alter working his 2 subjects into a sexual frenzy.
Over Rachmaninoff he intoned such gems as:- Her mouth is red
& her breasts are fair, and her loins are full of fire.
An exalted Parsons wrote the next day, "Babalon is incar-
-nate upon the earth today awaiting the proper hour of her
manifestation. And in that day my work will be accomplished
and I shall be blown away upon the breath of the father, even
as it is written (In fact, Parsons was blown away in a rocket
fuel explosion at his experimental labratory in Pasadena
in 1952)
Unable to contain his joy, Parsons decided to tell Crowley
what had happened. On March 6th. he wrote:- "I can hardly tell
you or decide how much to write. I am under command of
extreme secrecy. I have had the most important devastating
experience of my life". Crowley was dumbfounded by the news of
the incarnation ceremony. He wrote back, "You have me completely
puzzled by your remarks. I cannot form the slightest idea of
what you can possibly mean".
With a distinct note of concern, he dashed off a letter on
the same day to the head of his American Cult saying
"Apparently Parsons or Hubbard or somebody is producing a
Moonchild. I get fairly frantic when I contemplate the idiocy
of these louts" ( This acid rebuke comes from a man whose
activities were once summed up by a judge like this:-
"I have never heard such horrible, dreadful blasphemous stuff
as that which has been produced by the man who describes
himself as the greatest living poet".
By May the same year, Crowley was not only concerned about
Parsons' spiritual well-being. There was a small matter of
certain monies. When the trio formed their business enterprise,
Parsons is believed to have put in 17,000 dollars.
Hubbard had about 10,000 dollars of the money, Hubbard and his
newly aquired girlfriend Betty, bought a yact. A report to the
head of the American branch by another cult member says, "Ron
and Betty have their boat at Miami, Florida & are living the life
of Riley while Brother John (Parsons) is living at rock
bottom and I mean rock bottom".
In a more sinister way, the report added, "Let us consider
this matter of the magical child which John Parsons is
supposed to turn loose on the world in 9 months (now 7) Ron,
the Seer, was the guy who laid down the main ideas, technic
(sic) etc. of the operation".
On reading Parsons' accounts of the ceremony & from the
reports from the branch HQ in the States, Crowley cabled his
U.S. office on May 22nd. "Suspect Ron playing confidence
trick-John Parsons weak fool-obvious victim prowling swindlers"
In a letter a few days later he said, "It seem s to me on the
