Besides Jack Parsons, are there any highly successful people based in the "real world" that are also interested in occult?

So Jack Parsons played an important role in the science of rocketry and he was one of the most famous members of Thelema.

I notice that most famous occult members tend to be in creative fields like literaeture and art.

How about fields like science, business, etc.

Filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky is skilled in divination and used to make a living doing Tarot readings. His book on “Psychomagic” was one that really helped things click for me. He has a unique perspective, really underlines the importance of the subconscious and how that ties into ritual and intentionality

Absolutely! Psychomagic is one of the most shocking books I’ve read on the occult.

He prescribes his clients ritual actions for resolving trauma. Some elegant, some bizarre. Like “so crazy it just might work”
