An exciting investigative roleplaying game exploring the supernatural
and esoteric mysteries in early 20th century Britain.
ROCKET SCIENTIST KILLED IN PASADENA EXPLOSION screamed the headline
of the Los Angeles Times. John Parsons, a maverick rocketeer who
helped transform the rocket from a derided sci-fi plotline into a
reality, was at first mourned as a scientific prodigy. But
reporters soon uncovered a more shocking story: Parsons had been a
devotee of black magic.
George Pendle re-creates the world of John Parsons in this dazzling
portrait of prewar superstition, cold war paranoia, and futuristic
possibility. Fueled by childhood dreams of space flight, Parsons
was a leader of the motley band of enthusiastic young men who
founded the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a cornerstone of the
American space program. But Parsons's wild imagination also led him
into the occult- for if he could make rocketry a reality, why not
magic?
With a cast of characters including Howard Hughes,
L. Ron Hubbard, and Robert Heinlein, Strange Angel explores the
unruly consequences of genius.
What are the answers to the unanswerable? The question is as old as
time, as is the journey of those who have chosen to set their feet
on various and diverse pathways to true understanding.
Wachetecuma's personal path to Native American spirituality
unfolded over a span of more than 60 years, though dreams, visions,
and inspiration. The story of her journey is told both in her own
words and in the words of the Old Ones. Eleven years ago, she met a
Shaman, who became her mentor. For three years their paths were as
one; they served the Old Ones as Hollow Bones Healers, growing
through ever-greater insight and understanding, to a powerful sense
of purpose, a connection to the Universal All. Wachetecuma
encourages others to trust that still small voice within, to open
to their hearts, to disregard detractors, and to faithfully follow
their true path, 'walking their talk.' Never doubt that the path
you are traveling - whether a path of your personal understanding,
or the Good Red Road - is not just the right path for you; it is
the only path for you.
