Family: The Source Family Scrapbook
Family: The Source Family Scrapbook provides an immersive view into the public and private world of the Southern
California occult commune The Brotherhood of the Source. This lavishly illustrated book reproduces 200 original
scrapbook pages assembled by family historian Isis Aquarian from 1972-1977, documenting the group's dramatic rise and
fall, from their time living together in the Hollywood Hills operating their wildly popular Source vegetarian restaurant
on the Sunset Strip to their exodus to Hawaii and San Francisco as the group began to unravel. Copious unpublished
photographs, newspaper clippings, letters, manifestos, album art and flyers, augmented by descriptive captions by Isis
Aquarian, reveal the Source Family's astonishing trajectory, from controversial leader Father Yod's spiritual awakening
to the group's wild musical and social experimentations, to the provocations that led to the group's paradise lost.
These pages provide a revelatory, firsthand view into the widely misunderstood phenomenon of new religious movements and
cults of the 1960s and 70s.
