Magi<\/strong> (noun)<\/p>\n The plural of Magus<\/strong><\/p>\n In 1945, Jack Parsons\u2014an influential figure in American rocketry and a co-founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory\u2014embarked on a series of occult rituals aimed at invoking the Thelemic goddess “Babalon”. A devotee of “Thelema”, a spiritual philosophy developed by the renowned British occultist Aleister Crowley, Parsons created a magical commune in Pasadena, California. Here, he gathered like-minded individuals to live, collaborate, and engage in various rituals, including forms of sex magic. Among them was science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, who would later establish Scientology. Parsons remarked on Hubbard’s capabilities in ritual magic, suggesting he had contact with a higher intelligence or guardian angel.<\/p>\n The two formed a close friendship and magical partnership to summon the spirit of Babalon, a deity representing sex and love, into a world ravaged by war. Kenneth Grant, another disciple of Crowley, later reflected on the significance of their rituals: <\/p>\n “The working began in 1945-46, shortly before Crowley’s death in 1947, coinciding with what\u2019s now remembered as the ‘Great Flying Saucer Flap’… Parsons opened a door, and something came through.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n While the notion that Parsons was the origin of UFO sightings is absurd, one must ponder whether the ceremonies conducted in the Mojave Desert could have somehow stimulated an increase in UFO activity in the vicinity.<\/p>\n Accounts of UFO encounters often include an intriguing connection to sexuality. Numerous reports exist of individuals engaged in intimate activities who subsequently experience sightings or interactions of a bizarre nature. Researcher John Keel extensively documented incidents involving strange lights, objects, and beings witnessed during nighttime rendezvous in “lovers\u2019 lanes”.<\/p>\n Furthermore, contactees and abductees commonly describe experiences involving medical procedures with sexual implications, as well as both consensual and coerced encounters with non-human entities.<\/p>\n A notable example comes from the account of Antonio Vilas Boas, who was forcibly taken aboard an unidentified craft that landed on his family’s farm in Brazil in 1957:<\/p>\n The Succubus<\/strong><\/p>\n Boas recounted that he was left alone for about an hour on a large, featureless couch made of foam rubber. He felt an initial wave of nausea, followed by a sense of suffocation. After vomiting, he felt relief. Eventually, a door opened, and a naked woman entered. <\/p>\n Boas described the woman as silently approaching him, seemingly wanting something. Engaging with her, he stated, “I began to get excited… I held the woman close, reciprocating her advances.” Their encounter lasted an hour, with multiple intimate experiences shared. In the end, the woman, after gesturing to her belly and smilingly indicating the sky, left the chamber.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n (Excerpted from Terry Melanson’s article)<\/p>\n What other “magical” links might we uncover in reports of UFOs and related phenomena?<\/p>\n On November 2, 1966, Woodrow Derenberger, a sewing machine salesman, had an astonishing encounter while driving along Interstate 77 near Parkersburg, West Virginia. <\/p>\n As he drove, he observed an unusual craft approaching rapidly from behind. It hovered just above the road and blocked his path. Derenberger described the object as charcoal gray, resembling an old-fashioned kerosene lamp on its side. Upon closer inspection, a man emerged from the craft, described by Derenberger as around six feet tall, with a tan complexion, dark combed-back hair, and dressed in a shiny, navy blue suit<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
