Mother Earth's Children - Part Two : The Harvest of Souls

🔥 Episode Two: The Harvest of Souls

By the summer of 1971, the transformation is complete.

What began as a commune…
Has become something far more controlled.
Far more dangerous.
Far more final.

On the summer solstice, Morrison tells his followers that Mother Earth is no longer satisfied with symbolic offerings.

She wants something more.

🩸 In This Episode:

• The escalation from ritual to human sacrifice

• How Morrison used drugs, deprivation, and belief to override moral boundaries

• The targeted selection of victims—and why they were chosen

• The reality behind what followers believed were acts of transcendence

• The investigation that finally exposed the truth

🚨 The Reckoning

Three lives lost.
Dozens psychologically shattered.
And a leader who never saw himself as the villain.

The trial that followed forced a confrontation with a question that still lingers:

Where does spiritual freedom end…
And exploitation begin?

🧠 The Takeaway

The search for meaning is human.

But in the wrong hands—

It becomes a weapon.
