this was a semi-important part of the book “Going Clear”, about the rise of Hubbard and Scientology.

VERY weird story. A bunch of people who you’ve probably heard of separately (Parsons, Hubbard, Crowley, Etc) getting together to perform sex magic rituals, which sound like they may have had some effect (a red haired woman appeared at their door out of nowhere, and she went on to marry one of them)
