The Raelian tradition is unique among UFO
groups in that it offers a creation story that ties it to the sacred books of
the monotheistic traditions. The core idea is that the ancient Hebrew concept
Elohim should have been translated as "those who came from the sky" rather than
"God." The Elohim come from another planet and are responsible for the creation
of life on this planet.
Claude Vorilhon was the person chosen by the
Elohim to bring the news of humankind's origins to the people of the planet
Earth. The Elohim gave him the name Rael and also assigned him the
responsibility of telling the news of the return of the Elohim.
In his book, The Final Message, Rael
tells of his first encounter with the Elohim extraterrestrials. On the morning
of December 13, 1973, Claude Vorilhon was driving to an office in Clermont-Ferrand,
France, where he worked as a journalist for a racing car magazine. However, he
felt compelled to drive past the office and visit a nearby volcano in Auvergne,
France instead.
When he arrived at the volcano, called
Puy-de-Lassolas, Vorilhon parked his car and proceeded to make his way on foot
toward the center of the crater, so as to stretch his legs and take in some of
the cool, misty morning air. Upon reaching the top of the volcano, he obtained
the breathtaking view of the village of Clermont-Ferrand and reflected in
appreciation that thousands of years ago the crater had shot out streams of hot
molten lava. (The Final Message,pg. 19) After this reflection, Vorilhon
turned to leave and walked back down the slope of the volcano....

Anthony north: We"ve all heard of the witch, but do witches have a real existence? Yes, they have existed since the dawn of history, and most likely for millenia before. In the Bible, Saul, afraid of the might of the Philistine army, took himself off to be counsellefd by the Witch of Endor. In Classical literature we have Homer’s Circe who bewitched men and turned them into swine. Ovid tells us of the Strigae; erotic beings who flew through the air to carry out their murderous deeds. But with su... Read More
The desire and models for direct, two-way contact with the otherworld is likely as old as we human beings. Anciently, there are ancestor cults, mushroom cults and shamanistic societies and the like. More historically recently, there are various forms and manners of occultism, Spiritualism, and very recently, the pop-culture phenomenon of ghost hunting.In another article, Gender, Heroes, and the Social Dynamics of Ghost Hunting, I pointed out the quite masculine, almost steroidal aura wi...

Anthony North: Cults seem an enigma. We all know of their existence, or have heard of their more extreme measures such as mass suicide or even violence. Yet most cults are quite innocuous. But still the mystery remains. How do we draw back the curtains of non-understanding? Well without doubt the most important factor in a cult is the guru himself. And it is to him we must turn to really understand what is going on. Some examples. Mark prophet: In 1958, Mark Prophet was announced as a Messenger ... Read More
Anthony North: One well known theme of cult activity is that of apocalypse -that the world is about to come to an end. I"ve dealt with the most well known cases in Cult Suicides, but the "tradition" is far more widespread. Sometimes the process can appear almost comical, rather than tragic, as we shall see. And we shall also attempt, here, to come to an understanding of what impulses may be behind this idea of mass destruction. Well, it isn"t exactly destruction. Not an end but a beginning: This...

Conspiracy theories can be like the more malign aspects of cults. The success of such a process is that it can invoke so many beliefs in demonic forces out to get us that we flock to the guru for protection and salvation. This is the defining point of the success of the good -or bad - of a religious creed. Frighten enough people into believing in the Devil and they’ll buy anything you say. Conspiracy theories do this exact process, but in reverse. Scaring kiddies to death: They tell you the good... Read More
Anthony North: Cults continue to fascinate the western psyche, nurturing suspicions of their intentions. Whether there is a reality to these concerns is hard to tell, but most cults have proved to be peaceful and innocuous. The vast majority of cult gurus tend to be male. But this is not exclusively so. There have been a handful of female gurus, most being totally peaceful, but even here there is an exception. Margaret peter: This exception was Margaret Peter, and her activities in the German bo...
