Aleister Crowley’s Strange Angel with George Pendle

Take a trip out to the Californian deserts and join the occult rocket-race with Ken and Mark. Our man who fell to Earth this week is the wonderful George Pendle, author of the go-to book on Jack Parsons 'Strange Angel'.

This week we discuss: Just who was Jack Parsons and why are we still talking about him?, The OTO's influence on Parsons' life?, how do you go from rocket science to occult magician? and much more.

Joining me from his command outpost this week is Mar(c)k Satyr™
