Cults I'd Join

Ever stare into the depths of space while wondering "What if Mean Girls became an actual religion"? If so, wonder no more, friends! Welcome to the weird, and arguably dangerous, corner of the world that is Teal Swan! Have we made some similar fashion choices? Sometimes, yes. Do we advocate implanted memories and cutting all family ties? Generally, no. Buckle up for this one, and we'll see you on the other side!

There are smocks. There are balloon pants. There is circle dancing and hibiscus tea, name changes and matching headbands... Listen, we haven't spent a moment at the Twelve Tribes that we haven't loved—although it does seem others have. Let's get into it! And let's grab a head scarf and an AMAZING tofu sandwich while we do it! Seriously, go get that tofu sandwich. We'll wait...

TikTok it's cult o'clock! Actually it's more TikTok and less cult, so this is a story of how communes and social media meet... and that produces a LOT of different results. See you on this twisty road, and yes, it does involve former pets being worn as pelts, and a lot of lovely communal dinners. Shout out to TCO for coining cult o'clock, we had to borrow it for this one!

Hello, Friends... It's nigh unto the Sabbath and you know what that means... quiet reflection, or high-stakes rabble-rousing if you're down with the Quakers through the centuries! Join us on the scenic and twisty ride that is the path of Quakerism, and keep in mind that the light in us recognizes the light in you.

Season Two is starting out with a bang—or more with the sound of a comet playing a  theremin. Heaven's Gate is forever tied to an ending we all know, but the journey was a long and twisty one. Let's join the members for a bit and step inside the threshold of Heaven's Gate Community on this inaugural episode of Season Two.  

**** Trigger Warning: Please note that this episode features the topic of suicide and may be better to skip it if such topics are sensitive to you. If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts or a crisis, please reach out immediately to the Prevention Lifeline at 988.

Season one is a wrap and we are having SO MUCH FUN! Here's the plan: Cults I'd Join will give you 12 episodes and a bonus recap every season. We're talking about all 12 groups we've covered in this first recap episode, and we would love to hear your thoughts. What group was your favorite? Which party would you join? Who is your hard no? Which set of matching outfits is the one for you? 
We are already hard at work recording season two and will be releasing the season starting on the Spring Solstice in March! Until then, we humbly ask you to share the pod with your people and for the love of charismatic cult leaders everywhere, please rate and review us on the Apple platforms. Thank all of you SO much for jumping on this rickety school bus with us, we needed the company to get things going and we can promise you from here it's gonna be a long, fun ride!!!
And yes, this is a picture of the Polyphonic Spree. :)

Sometimes we talk about cults we would NOT join. Sometimes even a group we would never join still poses a lot of questions that need answers, and often the groups that we wouldn't join need a light shined into their center. Strife and injustice grow in the places we are not willing to look, so let's talk about some Christian Identity—what they believe, what they plan for, and how we all figure in.

If you know about Ruby Ridge, you know two things—it is not a cult and it is not a happy ending. However, the Weaver family living at Ruby Ridge did belong to a dangerous cult that is thriving today: the church of Christian Identity. Before we talk about the group itself, we're taking the time to talk about the human face of an ugly religion and everything spins out of that space. We are also talking about government branches that have more brute force than life experience, and the long-standing clash between rule makers and rule breakers. See you on the pod!

I know we say this a lot but... this is a major favorite! Love communal living? Love matriarchal sex decrees? Love trench digging? Aggressive road-tripping? Rationed food? Truly epic parties? Putting the letter Z on everything? Then say hello to your new favorite hang spot... Zendik Farm!!! Get to know this major player in the history of the American commune scene, it's a great ride!
