#Bales2023FilmChallenge March 26: Someone wearing #purple on #PurpleDay / #InternationalEpilepsyDay

Both in The Wormwood Star (Curtis Harrington, 1956) and Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (Kenneth Anger, 1954) Marjorie Cameron wears shades of purple. Professionally known as #Cameron, she was a follower of #Thelema, the philosophical movement founded by occultist Aleister #Crowley.

Meanwhile in 1946, rocket scientist Jack Parsons and (pre-Scientology) #SciFi author L. Ron Hubbard worked on a series of Crowley-related magic ceremonies named Babalon Working. After Parsons declared the initial rituals a success, he encountered Cameron in his own house. She became the element required to continue the ceremonies, this resulting in her being declared Babalon, the #Scarlet Woman.
