The Source

The Untold Story of Father Yod, YaHoWha 13, and The Source Family

Isis Aquarian and Electricity Aquarian
Introduction by Erik Davis

*WINNER 2008 Independent Publishers Book Award* *LA TIMES BESTSELLER!* It was 1972, time of the cult-occult-commune explosion. By day, the Source Family served organic cuisine to John Lennon, Julie Christie, Frank Zappa and others at the famed Source restaurant. By night, in a mansion in Hollywood Hills, they explored the cosmos through the channeled wisdom of their charismatic leader, Father Yod. Father was an outlandish figure who had 14 “spiritual wives,” drove a Rolls-Royce, and fronted the rock band Ya Ho Wa 13, now considered by collectors to be one of the most singular psychedelic bands of all time.
