These ranged from “love cults” that conducted ritual orgies to “devil worshipping” cults that branded their members with hot irons and beheaded their enemies.Īmong all these, the Simi Valley's “Divine Order of the Royal Arms of the Great Eleven” was considered by many to be the most extraordinary. California, in particular, was a haven for an estimated 200,000 cultists, with over 400 active cults in southern California alone. The United States witnessed an explosion of cult activity in the 1920s that today is almost inconceivable. Human and animal sacrifices, vanishings, the preserved corpse of a teenage cult princess, angelic encounters, a woman cooked in an oven, a mother chained to her bed for two months, resurrection experiments, refrigeration warehouses for the dead, abductions, nocturnal rituals, orgies, a breathing universe, an esoteric tome known as The Great Sixth Seal, hints of Hecate worship, and a post-apocalyptic world ruled by eleven queens from a hill in Hollywood… Cult of the Great Eleven is a true account of one of the twentieth century’s weirdest and most mysterious cults.
