Lux, Silver, and Elektra: The true-and-false history of Aristasia, Part 1
10 November 2025
This series will be one of the most unusual ones I've written in the 3 or so years I've been profiling cults/coercive groups, namely because I don't even know where to begin! The Wikipedia page describes Aristasia as a “…British female-focused subcultural group—or shared worldbuilding project and role-playing setting—that combined Guénonian Traditionalism with elements of lesbian separatism”. Members wore clothing from the 1920-1950s, and created a fantasy world complete with social hierarchies, lingo, and geography.
