In December 1945, Parsons began a series of rituals based on [[Enochian]] magic during which he masturbated onto magical tablets, accompanied by Sergei Prokofiev's ''Second Violin Concerto''. Describing this magical operation as the Babalon Working, he hoped to bring about the incarnation of [[Thelema|Thelemite]] goddess [[Babalon]] onto [[Earth]]. He allowed Hubbard to take part as his "scribe," believing that he was particularly sensitive to detecting magical phenomena. | In December 1945, Parsons began a series of rituals based on [[Enochian]] magic during which he masturbated onto magical tablets, accompanied by Sergei Prokofiev's ''Second Violin Concerto''.

Their final ritual took place in the Mojave Desert in late February 1946, during which Parsons abruptly decided that his undertaking was complete. On returning to the Parsonage, he discovered that Marjorie Cameron (an unemployed illustrator and former Navy WAVE) had come to visit. Believing her to be the "elemental" woman and manifestation of Babalon that he had invoked, in early March Parsons began performing [[sex magic]] rituals with Cameron, who acted as his "Scarlet Woman," while Hubbard continued to participate as the assistant. | Their final ritual took place in the Mojave Desert in late February 1946, during which Parsons abruptly decided that his undertaking was complete.

Unlike the rest of the household, Cameron knew nothing at first of Parsons' magical intentions: "I didn't know anything about the [[Ordo Templi Orientis|O.T.O.]], I didn't know that they had invoked me, I didn't know anything, but the whole house knew it. Everybody was watching to see what was going on." Despite this ignorance and her skepticism about Parsons' magic, Cameron reported her sighting of a UFO to Parsons, who secretly recorded the sighting as a materialization of Babalon. | Unlike the rest of the household, Cameron knew nothing at first of Parsons' magical intentions: "I didn't know anything about the [[Ordo Templi Orientis|O.T.O.]], I didn't know that they had invoked me, I didn't know anything, but the whole house knew it.
