Hubbard's self-hypnosis affirmations relating to his first wife Polly Grubb, his second wife Sara Northrup, and his sex life in various other contexts.
The following extracts from Hubbard's self-hypnosis
affirmations or "admissions," which were written around 1946, relate to his first wife Polly, and second wife "Betty," aka Sara Northrup.
By this time, Hubbard had seduced Sara away from the famous rocket scientist and occultist Jack Parsons, who was then head of an Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) lodge in Pasadena, CA. Hubbard conned Jack into giving him the OTO's highest secrets, and partnered with him in an advanced OTO sex ritual called the Babalon Working. Hubbard also made off with a whack of Jack's money in a failed scheme to sell sail boats.
Hubbard married Sara August 10, 1946 in Chesterfield, MD, when he was still legally married to Polly. The following April, Polly filed for divorce, apparently unaware of the marriage to Sara. (Ref.
