“There are few modern love stories as passionate and poignant as the relationship between rocket scientist Jack Parsons and his artist lover, Marjorie Cameron. Now published more than sixty years after it was written, Songs for the Witch Woman stands as a testament to lasting power of love and loss.
This book represents a creative collaboration between two of the most important names in 20th century occultism. It includes the poems, drawings and diary entries published together for the first time. A facsimile of the original 1950s notebook with text by Jack Parsons and illustrations by Marjorie Cameron. The texts have also been corrected and typeset alongside a second suite of pen and ink drawings that Marjorie Cameron produced for the work after 1952.”
