He acted as scientist, as occultist, as political dissi- dent and often as a simple damned eejit (just lik e you and me). Scientists, a ware of his tr emendous contributions to space science , generally call him John Parsons, and they’ve even named a crater on the moon after him. Those occultists who know of his work in their very spe- vii cialized arts call him Jack P arsons, the name he himself pr eferred; in introduction some magick lodges the y consider him second only to Aleister Cr owley as a pr ogenitor of the Ne w Aeon. His best-kno wn book, Freedom Is A Two-Edged Swor d, which incr easingly influences the libertarian and anarchist movements, gives his name as John Whiteside P arsons on the cover and title page. And, as the present biography documents, this odd bird actually had the legal name Marv el Whiteside Parsons imposed on him at birth. Oh, well, if m y parents had named me “Marv el,” I w ould have changed my name, too, perhaps as often as Parsons did. For utmost scientific clarity about matter s usually left in m ystic murk or psychobabble, I shall use all four of Our Hero’s names: John Parsons for the scientist, John Whiteside P arsons for the libertarian philosopher, Jack P arsons for the occultist, and Marv el Parsons for the original template: an alienated and sometimes naiv e boy, a child of divorce, who tried to find and liberate what occultists call his True Self by creating the other thr ee Parsonspersons and permitting them 1. Freedom Is A Two-Edged Swor d, by John Whiteside Parsons, Falcon Pr ess, Las V egas, 1989, p 10. to fight brutal wars in the loneliness of his passionate br ain until all three became One. When endured helplessly by a truly fractured per- sonality, w e gener ally call this civil w ar in the ps yche Multiple Personality Disor der: when deliber ately pur sued as a path of Illumination leading through Hell and Pur gatory toward a vision (at least) of Paradise, we have no name for it in our curr ent culture but those few who, lik e Parsons, have taken the hermetic oath to Will and Dar e and Kno w and K eep Silence simply call it magick (pr o- nounced mage-ick, as in the Thr ee Magi). Marvel Parsons, born in 1914 in Los Angeles but r aised mostly in the nearb y to wn of P asadena, began life lik e all of us in what Tibetans call the V oid and the Chinese call wu-hsin (no mind). Gradually, out of the V oid, form emer ged. He made the distinction between Marv el and Ev erything Else; a glass w all then separ ated Marvel from Everything Else. He gradually identified various parts of Everything Else, as soon as he learned their names . Fatherless, Marvel had a conserv ative middle class mother who ockets loved him a bit too ar dently (she committed suicide within a fe w hours after his death, 17 June 1952). She also taught him to hate his absent father, a pr oven “adulterer.” (Horrors!) Developing an early sex and r interest in psychology, Marvel diagnosed himself as ha ving a classic viii Oedipus complex, a compulsiv e antipathy to “P atriarchy” (he used the word before the Feminists made it trendy) and an equally intense loathing for an y and all A uthority s ymbols, especially “God the Father.” But let us look at 19 14, the y ear of P arsons’ birth, mor e closely. Whatever you think of astrology, with its extraterrestrial bias, a “sec- ular horoscope” limited to Earthly portents always provides amusing insights. The terrestrial world that shaped Marvel Parsons looked like this: The First World War had started on July 28 that year; before 1914 ended the fir st aerial bombing of civilian populations occurr ed (Germany did it to F rance), and the bloody battles of the Marne , Tannerberg, Ghent and especially Ypres demonstrated that “civilized” modern humans could act even more inhumanely and insanely than any barbarians of the past. Police arr ested the legendary labor her o Joe Hill in Utah on January 13 for a murder he almost certainly did not commit, and the State executed him the follo wing year. His last w ords, “Don’t w eep for me , bo ys—organize!” became a mantr a to union member s for decades after. In Color ado, John D. R ockefeller’s hir ed goons killed 2 1 people (including 11 children) in a clash with other labor “radicals.” Leftists protested outside R ockefeller’s New York office and got arr ested for it: a court order banned any other people with signs or banners from parading in fr ont of that sacr osanct shrine of the Almighty Dollar . Novelist Upton Sinclair appear ed the ne xt da y with a blank sign, telling reporters that fr ee speech had died. Suffr agettes marched on Washington June 28, demanding equal rights for w omen. In England, Dubliners, the fir st book b y an Irish author named James Jo yce, appear ed; and in America Edgar Rice Burr oughs brought forth Tarzan of The Apes . Musically, we all acquir ed three major tr easures, “The Colonel Boge y Mar ch,” “Saint Louis Blues” and “12th Str eet Rag.” In film, D.W . Griffith’s The Mother and the Law rawly showed the abuse of women by “the Patriarchy.” Margaret Sanger intr oduced the term “birth contr ol” in The Woman Rebel and then fled to England to avoid imprisonment for the “crime” of publishing explicit details on contraception. Charles T aze R ussell, founder of the Jeho vah’s Witnesses , announced that the apocalypse w ould begin on October 2—coinci- dentally or synchronistically, the very day Marvel Whiteside Parsons [who w ould later , as Jack P arsons, call himself the AntiChrist] emerged from his mother’ s womb, or fr om even darker places, and ix began to investigate and meddle with this planet. introduction Going back to England again: also in 19 14, Aleister Cr owley (rhymes with “holy”) and his curr ent mistr ess, violinist Leila Waddell, staged something called “The Rites of Eleusis” in London—several nights of quasi-masonic ritual, music, poetry, bal- let and drama. On the first night, the actors informed the audience, Nietzsche-fashion, that “God is dead” and mourned and grie ved over the departed deity: things became even stranger after that, like the bardos in the Tibetan Book of the Dead , and on the last night the audience received “The Elixir of the Gods,” a wine containing a high dosage of the ps ychedelic drug mescaline . While the y willynilly enter ed Chaos and the V oid a chorus announced the dawning of a Ne w Aeon based on R abelais’ Law of Thelema—“Do What Thou Wilt” . And Doublemint chewing gum appeared on the market, produced by William Wrigley . All of this undeniably influenced Marv el as much as , or mor e than, an y distant star s or planets . The horr ors of W orld W ar imprinted him with a w ounded per ception of the dark side of “human nature”: some parts of Freedom Is A Two-Edged Sword sound as bitter as S wift or Twain at their most misanthr opic. Marvel also acquired a genuine sympathy for working people, and an awareness of the brute for ce behind Capitalism and Capitalist Go vernments never left him: although an ultr a-individualist himself. he had mor e than one Marxist friend (which got him virtually tarred and feathered during the McCarthy era). Standing there as big as life And smiling with those eyes: “What they forgot to kill,” said Joe “Went on to organize.” Margaret Sanger and the suffr agettes also left a mark: no male writer since John Stuart Mill in the 19th Century has sho wn more empathy for Feminism than John Whiteside Parsons.

  • Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God to Assume
    Introduction THIS BOOK contains a critical study of Aleister Crowley's system of sexual magick and its affmities with the ancient Tantric rites of Kali, the dark goddess of blood and dissolution represented in Crowley's Cult as the Scarlet Woman. It is an attempt to supply a key to the work of an Adept whose vast knowledge of occultism was unsurpassed by any previous Western authority. I have emphasized the similarity between Crowley's Cult of Thelema and Tantra because the present wave of interest in the Tantric System makes it probable that readers will be able to assess more fully the importance of Crowley's contribution to occultism in general and to the Magical Path in particular. As a result of many years' research into obscure phases of occultism I have evolved a method of dream control for contacting extra-terrestrial and non-human entities; this forms the substance of Chapters Six and Seven. This method is described in relation to the mysteries of Kundalini, the supreme magical power symbolized by the sleeping Fire Snake at the base of the spine which, after its awakening, activates the subtle power-zones in the human body. Aleister Crowley, Austin Spare, Dion Fortune and the German occultist Eugen Grosche were among the first Adepts in the West to teach the use of the psycho-sexual energies, the Ophidian Current that informed the most ancient arcana of Africa and the Far East. Although it was Crowley who first integrated this current with the Westem Esoteric Tradition, this was not achieved without some doubtful interpretations of oriental symbolism.

  • On the Fill/Kill Correction (3)
    ON THE FILL/KILL CORRECTION (3) Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. A great deal has been written by some serious students on this subject of late, some of which has been very thought-provoking. I will respond in a general way to some of the issues raised below. Some points are made in two point-by-point timelined analyses, one pro “fill me” (to the best of my ability), the other pro “kill me.” Others are given in topical discussions under the headings of the various sources, given below, which correspond to an analytical side-by-side table designed to simplify the comparison of the handling of the Stèle poetry across all sources. This table is given as a separate file released with this memo, along with other files of source material as cited in the notes discussing the table. The table is intended to simplify the study, over a timeline, of the evolution of the readings across all sources. I thought a table necessary as I find lengthy prose expositions about small textual details in multiple sources hard to follow. It is intended as an aid to discussion, and not constructed to advance any particular argument, though the dating of some items is necessarily argumentative as a choice had to be made about the likely date of a few uncertain items. The various sources documenting the use of “fill me” or “kill me” do not have equal weight—one cannot simply count the occurrences of each reading in these sources and reach a reasonable con- clusion.

  • The Changing Role of Leah Hirsig in Aleister Crowley's Thelema, 1919
    Aries – Journal for the Study of Western Esotericism 21 (2021) 69–93 ARIES brill.com/arie Proximal Authority The Changing Role of Leah Hirsig in Aleister Crowley’s Thelema, 1919–1930 Manon Hedenborg White Södertörn University, Stockholm, Sweden [email protected] Abstract In 1920, the Swiss-American music teacher and occultist Leah Hirsig (1883–1975) was appointed ‘Scarlet Woman’ by the British occultist Aleister Crowley (1875–1947), founder of the religion Thelema. In this role, Hirsig was Crowley’s right-hand woman during a formative period in the Thelemic movement, but her position shifted when Crowley found a new Scarlet Woman in 1924. Hirsig’s importance in Thelema gradually declined, and she distanced herself from the movement in the late 1920s. The article analyses Hirsig’s changing status in Thelema 1919–1930, proposing the term proximal authority as an auxiliary category to MaxWeber’s tripartite typology.Proximal authority is defined as authority ascribed to or enacted by a person based on their real or per- ceived relational closeness to a leader. The article briefly draws on two parallel cases so as to demonstrate the broader applicability of the term in highlighting how relational closeness to a leadership figure can entail considerable yet precarious power. Keywords Aleister Crowley – Leah Hirsig – Max Weber – proximal authority – Thelema 1 Introduction During the reign of Queen Anne of Great Britain (1665–1714), Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough (1660–1744), was the second most powerful woman in the kingdom. As the queen’s favourite, the Duchess overcame many restrictions hampering women of the time.

  • HOW BLACK IS BLACK METAL [JOURNALISMUS] Nachrichten Von Heute
    HOW BLACK IS BLACK METAL [JOURNALISMUS] nachrichten von heute Kevin Coogan - Lords of Chaos (LOC), a recent book-length examination of the “Satanic” black metal music scene, is less concerned with sound than fury. Authors Michael Moynihan and Didrik Sederlind zero in on Norway, where a tiny clique of black metal musicians torched some churches in 1992. The church burners’ own place of worship was a small Oslo record store called Helvete (Hell). Helvete was run by the godfather of Norwegian black metal, 0ystein Aarseth (“Euronymous”, or “Prince of Death”), who first brought black metal to Norway with his group Mayhem and his Deathlike Silence record label. One early member of the movement, “Frost” from the band Satyricon, recalled his first visit to Helvete: I felt like this was the place I had always dreamed about being in. It was a kick in the back. The black painted walls, the bizarre fitted out with inverted crosses, weapons, candelabra etc. And then just the downright evil atmosphere...it was just perfect. Frost was also impressed at how talented Euronymous was in “bringing forth the evil in people – and bringing the right people together” and then dominating them. “With a scene ruled by the firm hand of Euronymous,” Frost reminisced, “one could not avoid a certain herd-mentality. There were strict codes for what was accept- ed.” Euronymous may have honed his dictatorial skills while a member of Red Ungdom (Red Youth), the youth wing of the Marxist/Leninist Communist Workers Party, a Stalinist/Maoist outfit that idolized Pol Pot. All who wanted to be part of black metal’s inner core “had to please the leader in one way or the other.” Yet to Frost, Euronymous’s control over the scene was precisely “what made it so special and obscure, creating a center of dark, evil energies and inspiration.” Lords of Chaos, however, is far less interested in Euronymous than in the man who killed him, Varg Vikemes from the one-man group Burzum.
