❍❍❍moonchild❍❍❍

I have recently become obsessed with occultist, actress, O.T.O member, and O.G. California scarlet woman Marjorie Cameron, famous for her principal role as Babalon in the Babalon Working ritual which she played in 1946 with husband Jack Parsons(who would later die in a mysterious mercury disaster) and L. Ron Hubbard(who would later become the founder of Scientology.)
In the Babalon Working ritual, she would play her  role in a series of sex magick rituals in order to bring forth the Æon of Horus through the conception of a moonchild, a ritual developed by Kenneth Grant and Aleister Crowley.
Cameron also played the scarlet woman in Kenneth Anger's Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome and Curtis Harrington's The Wormwood Star and Night Tide.
After her husband's death she went on to raise her daughter and spent a great deal of time with my surrealist sisters Remedios Varo and Leonora Carrington, who I think are very much reflected in her illustration style.
