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

Isis Aquarian and Electricity Aquarian
Introduction by Erik Davis

See more about The Source Family.

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.


The Source Family’s true story—kept secret for over 30 years after Father’s spectacular hang-gliding death in 1975—is revealed here by the Family members themselves, with over 200 photographs and a full-length CD of rare Ya Ho Wa 13 live performances and Family recordings.

“… a mesmerizing look at a time that might as well have been a thousand years in the past…. I can’t help but marvel that a spiritual movement of such idealism could ever have existed in our uber-materialistic world.”
—Ann Magnuson, Paper Magazine

“The Source Family contributed a powerful chapter to our communal history, and having Isis Aquarian’s empathetic recording of it enriches us all.”

—Timothy Miller, Author of America’s Alternative Religions
