Chapter 20: Coming to a heed
The first cult isn't really much of a cult, it is more of a community farm, where Odin doesn't spend a lot of time. Most of the members are older people, who just want to escape from the hustle and bustle from the real world, which is what they advertised it as on purpose. They are able to acquire about 20 members from the age of 40-60.
Odin is busy traveling circuits for the self help seminars. While Marilyn runs the farm, and watches over the small amount of members there. They make a money by selling items made on the property, never touching the money that they have saved up from their parents. The years go by, and Odin comes back to the farm very excited. He has a plan that will help them have an official cult.
Slowly, the farmers begin to slowly die of some mysterious illness. And then, Odin and Marilyn head off to another area of their plan. Odin has decided that the best place to start a cult would be in Georgia, since there has to be a complete separation, and he is beginning to figure out how he can go about accomplishing it.
In 1995, after a bit of traveling and picking up odd jobs here and there, they pick the spot for the new cult. The plan is in the next few years they will look for younger people, and they would also watch the news for rash of big burglaries. But the most important thing is looking for members. The profile of the members is people who would go to those self help seminars, wanders, people who seem to be lost, and fearful of the world, and need much shelter.
