This week Isis Aquarian, historian of the legendary Source Family visits The Pharmacy.

If you don’t know about the Source Family they were one of the first young spiritualist groups to combine the teachings of the yogis and gurus of the East with the burgeoning counterculture of the late 60s, early 70s Los Angeles sex, drugs and rock-n-roll scene. The Source Family, led by Jim Baker aka “Father Yod,” also operated The Source restaurant on the Sunset Strip, notably one of the countries first organic food restaurants, catering to the LA art, film and music worlds. They also had a slammin’ rock group!

In 2013, Drag City Records released The Source Family documentary, the critically acclaimed film directed Maria Demopoulos and Jodi Wille.

This week’s show features music from Source Family band Ya Ho Wha 13 as well as Isis’ personal documentations of Father Yod’s unheard (and often fascinating) morning meditation tapes, unearthed after 40 plus years.
