In 1972, Ed Sanders published one of the earliest investigative accounts of the Manson family in his book "The Family." Sanders argued that the Manson family's murders were part of a pattern of ritual evil that Manson learned from the Process Church of the Final Judgement as well as the Solar Temple of the O. T. O. Both groups successfully sued to have their names removed from subsequent printings of the book. In this episode, we explore the myth that Charles Manson was a New Age Satanist.
