Barefoot Messiah

Barefoot Messiah

This week we’re talking about a cult from Los Angeles that had a very explosive ending. Krishna Venta’s cult known as The Fountain, or WKFL served as a predecessor of sorts to many future cults with followers going on to join the likes of Jim Jones, The Seekers, and Charles Manson, so you know we’re in for quite a story.
