Occult Corner: We continue on our obsession with the “charismatic white man decides to create a new religion” historical pipeline of Alestair Crowley to Jack Parsons to L. Ron Hubbard.  In this installment, we discuss LRH’s early life and first four failed boating adventure grifts.  (Don’t worry, he won’t learn a single thing and will escalate it into an exponentially larger failed boating adventure.)
