The Order of the Solar Temple | International Death Cult

The Order of the Solar Temple was a international esoteric secret society that was founded in Geneva, Switzerland 1984.

The ideas and beliefs of the OST led to the murder or suicide of 74 people in 3 countries over a 2.5-year span (‘94-‘97).

The OST claimed to be in a direct line with the Knights’ templar and preached ideas like reincarnation, the hollow earth, eugenics, and the impending apocalypse.

It had over 1000 members across France, Switzerland and Canada at it largest, including many prominent members of industry and government. The membership trended upper middle class to wealthy and most all of them carried out seemingly normal lives.

That is, until the fires of 1994 shined a new light on The Solar Temple.
