Chilling final words of end of the world cult that ‘slaughtered’ members in ceremonies

But all were seemingly dead in a ritualistic collective suicide inside buildings engulfed in flames.

In 1994, 53 members of the secretive religious sect known as the Order of the Solar Temple died – a few by suicide, most murdered – and left with them a message.

‘It is with unfathomable love, pure joy and no regret that we leave this world,’ the order’s ‘Transit for the Future’ document said.

‘Men, do not cry for our fate, but cry for your own.’

The deaths from 30 September to 5 October 1994 included former members and so-called ‘traitors’. Twenty-three bodies were found in a fire-ravaged farmhouse in the tiny village of Cheiry, 48 miles north of Geneva, Switzerland.

Twenty-five were found in three burned-out chalets at Granges-sur-Salvan, 47 miles east of Geneva, dying from poison injection. Five were found ritualistically murdered in Morin-Heights – including an infant.

The order’s leaders were nowhere to be found, police believed.

What local officials found inside was chilling. A circle of corpses around an altar, their heads aimed outwards as if they were blasting away like rockets. Bodies wearing white, red or black capes, depending on their rank

Chalices used to burn incense. A macrobiotic research lab – nature was key. A painting of a bearded, almost Christ-like man looking on, a jar labelled ‘DNA’ and the charred corpse of a baby inside a plastic bag. A cassette taped to a door.

But why did these people do this, whether voluntarily or otherwise? They hoped to make a ‘death voyage’ to a distant star known as Sirius, where, probably by a flying saucer, they’d land on a planet and form a paradise.

The Order of the Solar Temple’s beliefs were a ‘dangerous cauldron of New Age, esoteric, and secret society beliefs’, Stephen Kent, a professor at the University of Alberta’s Department of Sociology, told Metro. On top of a deep appreciation of the environment, they also saw themselves as the successor of the Knights Templars, a mysterious Catholic military order from the 13th century.
