Since the 1960s California has always been a place associated with alternative beliefs, countercultural movements and alternative lifestyles. The hippy movement, with it's summer of love, fueled by the west coast psychedelic music scene will always be a highlight from the era, but the truth is, the state of California's links to alternative beliefs go back much further and manifested in much stranger ways than a bunch of long haired students having a good time. Labour movements, civil rights activism and the gold rush era can all be associated with California's ties to alternative living, as can its long history with cult groups who have thrived in the area throughout history. With the boom of New Thought, Eastern Spirituality and alternative religions, countless groups have emerged to furnish the world with their peculiar beliefs and practices. One group known as The Divine Order of the Royal Arms of the Great Eleven, however, trumps many with its utterly nonsensical story of animal sacrifice, ritual worship, mysterious disappearances and elusive publications.

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.

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.

May Otis Blackburn and her daughter Ruth were going to write the book that would knock the world's socks off in the 1920s. The Angel Gabriel dictated it to them and in return, he would give them the lost measurements to gold, diamond and oil deposits. Did it matter that their book made no sense or that it never was a book, but more of a scam? Not to their followers who willingly signed over deeds and life savings to follow The Divine Order of the Royal Arms of the Great Eleven.
