The Babalon Working was a series of rituals carried out by [[Jack Parsons]] and [[L. Ron Hubbard]] at 1003 South Orange Grove Avenue in [[Pasadena]], California, in the first quarter of 1946. Parsons headed the [[Agape Lodge]] of the [[Ordo Templi Orientis]] under the authority of [[Aleister Crowley]]; Hubbard, a Naval Reserve lieutenant who had moved into the house, acted as scribe and seer.[^1]

[[The Sunday Times]] of London published on October 5, 1969 an account by [[Alexander Mitchell]] headed "The Odd Beginning of Ron Hubbard's Career," based on papers owned by "a former admirer of Crowley," whom the article describes as an expert on Crowley's magic. It says that from January 4 to 15, 1946 Parsons and Hubbard held a nightly ritual, "faithfully described in Parsons' diary," played a Prokofiev violin concerto and later Rachmaninoff's Isle of the Dead, and that Hubbard served as high priest in a series of ceremonies in which Parsons and the girl shared sex. It quotes the Parsons record: "The Scribe (Hubbard) said ... She is the flame of life, power of darkness, she destroys with a glance, she may take thy soul." The owner of the papers is quoted as saying that Parsons "was completely under Hubbard's domination." A clipping of the article is in the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]]'s [[Scientology|Church of Scientology]] file (see the page on Hubbard).[^17] The Church of Scientology, which according to Bogdan paid a settlement to the newspaper, made a statement, printed in the issue of December 28, 1969, saying that the Ordo Templi Orientis practiced "savage and bestial rites" and that Hubbard had been "sent in to handle the situation" at 1003 Orange Grove: "Hubbard's mission was successful far beyond anyone's expectations. The house was torn down. Hubbard rescued a girl they were using. The black magic group was dispersed and destroyed and has never recovered."[^1] Bogdan writes that Hubbard never spoke publicly about Parsons or the Working.[^1]
In a letter of May 1951 to the [[United States Attorney General|Attorney General]], preserved in an FBI file, Hubbard wrote that Sara Northrup "had attached herself to a Jack Parsons, the rocket expert, during the war and when she left him he was a wreck."[^18] The FBI opened its own file on Parsons in September 1950; the released file does not mention Hubbard.[^19]
