Cults and Secret Societies

Power. Control. Belief.
For centuries, hidden groups have shaped the course of human history from the shadows.

Hosted by Ben Carter, Cults and Secret Societies exposes the rituals, hierarchies, and mindsets of the most mysterious organizations on Earth — from ancient brotherhoods and spiritual movements to modern cults and secret global networks.

Each episode reveals the psychological manipulation, the historical context, and the evidence behind how these groups operate — and how they’ve influenced everything from religion to politics.

We don’t glorify them.
We uncover them.

Because what happens behind closed doors can change the world outside.

The Process Church of the Final Judgment remains one of the most mysterious cults of the twentieth century — a strange mix of apocalyptic prophecy, ritual devotion to dogs, and cosmic ideas of death and rebirth. Some claim their teachings carried echoes of Norse myth and even suggested the Aesir gods themselves came from the stars. Were they visionaries of a hidden cosmic truth — or architects of a dangerous doomsday cult? In this episode, we explore the rituals, beliefs, and forbidden history of a movement that blurred the line between religion and science fiction.
