Opening with considerations on the future of witchcraft and its relation to radical ecology, Grey  returns to the Babalon Working—a series of magic rituals performed in 1946 by occultist, author, and rocket-fuel scientist Jack Parsons and Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard—and considers a series of little examined texts from science fiction and the outer fringes of Scientology which form a  ‘Babalon Apocrypha.’

By reading across these sources, the familiar story is revealed to have hidden depths and dimensions. Exploring the role of Antichrist in relation to Parsons and Hubbard, Grey provides insights into the initiatory drama of Thelema: of Satanic rites, Abyss and Angel.

The Two Antichrists observes the long shadow cast by the monolith of Scientology, and Parsons’ eclipsed confraternity The Witchcraft. Looking to the future, he envisions emergent space witchcraft, infused with the spirit of Do What Thou Wilt.  

Peter Grey is a writer, and the co-founder of Scarlet Imprint. He is the author of The Red Goddess (2007), which has become the standard work on the goddess of Revelation. His Apocalyptic  Witchcraft (2013) has been called the most important modern book on witchcraft, placing it in the mythopoetic context of the sabbat and in a landscape suffering climate and ecological collapse.  

Alkistis Dimech is the co-founder of Scarlet Imprint, for which she is editrix, typographer and book designer. Beyond publishing, she is a dancer and choreographer, whose practice is grounded in butô, which translates as ‘dark dance’ or ‘dance of utter darkness,’ a discipline and philosophy she has pursued since 2002.
