This week Felicia takes us through the early life of Shoko Asahara, born Chizuo Matsumoto, founder of the cult Aum Shinrikyo, now known as Aleph. And yes folks, this is another cult that is still technically active in 2024.
She tells us all about his childhood and teenage dreams of being an " all powerful ruler", the beginning of his cult, and the start of the cults reign of terror all across parts of Japan.
