The religous cult known as the Divine Order of the Royal Arms of the Great Eleven, the Great Eleven Club, or the Blackburn Cult was started in the 1920's in California's Simi Valley. The cult's founder, May Otis Blackburn, claimed to receive revelations directly from God and along with her daughter believed she was charged by the archangel Gabriel to write books revealing the mysteries of heaven and earth and life and death. In 1929 cult leaders were indicted in Los Angeles for grand theft and investigated in the disappearences of several cult members.
