gonna get it pt.6

Marjorie Cameron.

I let john borrow sex and rockets. its a book about jack parsons, the guy who invented rocket fuel and jet propulsion. the guy who took america to space. there would be no neil armstrong, no apollo 13, no buzz lightyear, if it hadnt been for jack. no ones heard about him though because the man was an occultist. marjorie was jacks scarlet woman. he regarded her as "the fulfillment of magical rituals he had been performing as the beginning of the Babalon Working, roughly, an attempt to incarnate in a physical body a divine entity, a living Goddess, that would bring about great change for the Aeon of Horus and change the course of history."

she starred in a kenneth anger film after jack blew himself up with jet fuel and explosives in his pasadena lodge. she was a painter as well. she later burned most of her paintings in the late 1950s in a symbolic suicide performed with her second husband Sherif Kimmil after they had been up for several days on speed and had formed what Cameron called a "suicide club". Kimmil slit his wrists in the bathroom at the same time as the burning.
she didnt die till 1995.
