Welcome back to Exploration Arcanum. In this very special episode, we explore the lives, work, and legacy of Marjorie Cameron, better known as Cameron—artist, actress, occultist, and visionary—and Cameron's first husband, John Whiteside "Jack" Parsons, rocket scientist, occultist, and founding member of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA. Joining me are Scott Hobbs, MaggyGrace Howe, and Victoria Ballesteros, members of the board of trustees of the Cameron Parsons Foundation.
