description: Jack Parsons was a rocket scientist, an occultist and a member of Agapé Lodge of Aleister Crowley's Ordo Templi Orientis. His eloquent writings on the human condition and the crisi in American society convey passion, intelligence and deep conviction. Written around 1950, they are now, some forty years later, strikingly prophetic. His introductory essays on magick and witchcraft are classics of lucidity. This volume makes available for the first time all of Parsons' surviving essays, edited by his wife and student, Cameron, in collaboration with Frater Superior Hymenaeus Beta, the head of O.T.O.The Oriflamme is a series of monographs on magick, mysticism, and the history of ideas. This first number of a new series was produced by Ordo Templi Orientis in association with Falcon Press.
