Today we unravel the harrowing tale of Antares de la Luz and his twisted cult of sex, death and drugs.

The fervent, hippie disciples of Antares de la Luz believed him to be a divine amalgamation of Buddha, Jesus, and Krishna, heralding the impending apocalypse, and when Antares decreed a human sacrifice to thwart evil's advance, his followers willingly offered up an innocent newborn child to be murdered.

A narrative so surreal and gut-wrenching it defies belief, yet it stands as a stark reality. Join us as we confront the unthinkable on today's episode, as we examine the sex and death cult of Antares de la Luz!!
