Description
The Brotherhood of Eternal Love: A Countercultural Phenomenon In the mid-1960s, a small group of surfers in Southern California formed the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, a countercultural movement that would become infamous for its involvement in the psychedelic revolution. Dubbed the "Hippie Mafia," the Brotherhood's goal was to spread peace, love, and acid to the world, using their unique blend of spirituality and entrepreneurship to fuel the movement. The Brotherhood's most notable contribution to the counterculture was the creation of Orange Sunshine, a homemade acid tablet that produced an especially powerful trip. They also became one of the largest groups of acid dealers and hashish smugglers in the nation, selling their wares through a legally registered church and using innovative methods to transport their goods. The Brotherhood's story is a fascinating and dramatic account of the American counterculture of the 1960s. This book tells the story of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, a group that embodied the spirit of the era and left a lasting impact on the world of psychedelia.
