A MESSAGE FROM THE TEMPLE is a story of an international “anti-cult” whose radical search for personal liberation incurred the wrath of the British establishment, resulting in a dramatic modern-day witch hunt.
A MESSAGE FROM THE TEMPLE charts the rise, fall, and legacy of a provocative group of British artists in the early 1980s known as Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth (TOPY). Members sought radical personal liberation through sex, magick, and rituals. Over the span of a decade, they grew into an organized global network whose power and influence ultimately incurred the wrath of the British establishment and led to their explosive downfall. Though many former members have gone on to achieve success and notoriety in art, culture, and government, the details of TOPY have remained shrouded in mystery. With unprecedented access to key members, voluminous archives, and renowned contemporary cultural figures, A MESSAGE FROM THE TEMPLE will finally bring the group’s sensational story to light.
