On Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast this week, Geordie & Michelle look at cults and conspiracies… In 1929, the body of a woman called Willa Rhodes was found by police under the floorboards of her foster parents' home. This gruesome discovery led police to the bizarre Blackburn cult, run by mother-daughter duo May Blackburn and Ruth Rizzio. Did archangel Gabriel really tell the pair to write a book that would end the world? Did May really bake a cult member to death? And were May and Ruth really the ‘Two Witnesses' from the bible or just a couple of hustlers? Listen now to find out!Do you know your blood type? According to some internet conspiracy theorists, if you're Rhesus Negative, you might be part alien! This week, Michelle dives into this blood-type conspiracy and why some people think there's something to it… She then looks at a UFO-based theory that there are aliens walking among us and the Black Knight Satellite Theory – UFO or just a space blanket? You decide!So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week's episode, plus chit-chat about Changing Rooms, Naked Attraction and the moon landing, only on Eavesdroppin' podcast.

On this week's episode we divide and conquer by each presenting three different death cults from three separate time periods, on three entirely different continents, all of which there's a good chance you've never even heard of. In the free section of the show Mari Sama presents the modern day Shakahola Starvation Massacre of Africa which features a staggering body-count. Afterwards, Malachor presents The Blackburn Cult, a Los Angeles based angel channeling doomsday cult from the turn of the century, one of the only death cults known to be run by women and has an equally unexpected conclusion. In the extended version of the show I present the true tale of the Knights of the Solar Temple who operated across France, Switzerland and Canada in the mid to late eighties who were known for blending Rosicrucian rituals, new-age philosophy and crypto fascism into a deadly concoction that claimed the lives of numerous wealthy and connected members in a massive blaze of murder and self-immolation.

SPRING BREEEEEAK!!!! Today we're taking a break from not talking about cults, so as to learn more about the Blackburn Cult, the proper name of which is the Divine Order of the Royal Arms of the Great Eleven, a name perhaps designed to remind people that while the Great Depression might be raging, you can still use as many words and letters as you want when naming your Jesus-adjacent child-resurrection grift. Then it's time for a ROAD TRIIIIIIP!!! To a blank spot by I-35, just north of Dallas, in June, for an outdoor Jesus music festival in weather more like Actual Hell than anyone seems willing to discuss!

This week for Alecia's cult episode, we are joined by a special guest: Nick Emel of 10ish Podcast fame. We had a lot of laughs dissecting the Blackburn Cult as well as some of the reasons people join a cult in general. This mother-daughter duo managed to swindle hundreds out of their money with the belief they would make it to heaven. It doesn't matter how nice your mustache is, you have to analyze the truth and the big picture. Worst comes to worst, just join our cult. Also during this episode, Sierra deals with some ghostly tech issues on her webcam, maybe haunted by Sharon Tate?

In 1920s Los Angeles, the mother-daughter duo of May Otis Blackburn and Ruth Wieland ran a female-dominated religious cult. The Blackburn Cult, as it was called in the newspapers of the time, came to the attention of the LAPD after a fraud investigation. But following the clues soon led to revelations of far worse offenses than simple fraud.

It’s Episode 19 of Smoke Til It’s Gone Or Die! When discussing who we wanted to invite on as our first guest, one person and one person only came to mind. It’s G! If you’ve listened to any of our episodes before, you’ll know that G is our podcast’s #1 fan, and day-one supporter of the show. They join us in getting thoroughly bologna, and we tell them some scary stories! Rylee tells us the story of "The The Divine Order of the Royal Arms of the Great Eleven", or the Blackburn Cult. Two women who knew how to use their wiles to their advantage caused some mayhem throughout southern California, including but not limited to murder, suspected poisoning, and fraud. As we know a little too well 100 years later, the 20's were a wild time to be alive, and May Otis Blackburn certainly makes her mark in history. Patty serves goose-bumps all over! It’s The Bennington Triangle! Bennington is The Bermuda Triangle’s Gay Cousin, and is located in a mountainous region of Vermont. She comes complete with UFO and Bigfoot sightings, ghost towns, and mysterious unsolved disappearances. You won’t want to miss this! Rylee’s Probable Cause this week is The Roots Fund. Please consider making a donation at https://www.therootsfund.org/ The Roots Fund was created to empower the BIPOC Community in the wine industry by providing resources and financial support through educational scholarships, wine education, mentorship, and job placement.

Join us as we discuss a lesser known cult that had some unique cooking methods: The Blackburn Cult! This cult was founded and led by a woman, which is unusual compared to the cults we usually discuss. Queen May and her daughter would go on to not only swindle their followers out of money, but they would also engage in some very questionable and, dare I say, illegal activities in the name of serving God and finishing some book that no one was going to read anyway. Learn about the unfortunate oven incident that did not in fact cure one of their more vulnerable cult members and about the forlorn parents who made a poor decision in the hopes of resurrecting their daughter. Did I mention the nightly naked ampitheatre sacrifices yet? I didn't? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out more.

Dark Windows Podcast ep. 110: This week we are starting a multi-part series on a California based cult from the 1920's, The Divine Order of the Royal Arms of the Great Eleven or as they would be known later as The Blackburn Cult. The mother / daughter combo of May Otis Blackburn and Ruth Rizzo had simultaneous visions of angels that told them they needed to write a book and gather a select few people to survive the end of the world... That small group included a lot of men with money that were very easily separated from it, So let's see where this goes, I hope as everyone listens to this they automatically dislike Ward as much as we did...

Cults are certainly not a new phenomenon - in fact one of the strangest ones existed in Los Angeles in the 1920s. The "Blackburn Cult", also known as the "Divine Order of the Royal Arms of the Great Eleven", was the brainchild of a grifter named May Otis Blackburn. She, along with her daughter Ruth, in need of money, suddenly claimed that the archangel Gabriel had visited them with orders to write books that revealed the mysteries of life, death, and a post-apocalyptic world that would be ruled by eleven Queens .  My guest is Samuel Fort, author of "Cult of the Great Eleven".  He discusses some of the cult's bizarre rituals and behavior, and more ominously, the mysterious deaths and disappearances it was involved in - grim events that would eventually be exposed to the country in a sensational trial.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In 1925 Willa had been dead for months, and yet she wasn't laid to rest. May Blackburn laid her in a tub of ice, mummified her, and buried her beneath her floorboards in Venice, California. The end of the world was coming, and when Willa was resurrected, so would be their queen. And so the cult prepared for the coming apocalypse, over the body of the Blackburn Cult's first victim.  Sponsors! Calm - CULTS listeners get 25% off a Calm Premium subscription at Calm.com/CULTS.
