Summary

This week we’re telling a story that seems to have become lost in history. Margaretta Peter felt called on by God at a young age which led her to a life of prophecy. Everything seemed fine, until she received a vision that led her to committing unthinkable acts against members of her cult, including her own family, and eventually herself.  Write me: spencer@cultliter.com Spencer Henry PO Box 18149 Long Beach CA 90807  Follow along online: instagram.com/cultliterpodcast Join our patreon: Patreon.com/cultliter Check out my other show OBITCHUARY wherever you’re listening now!  Sources:  https://www.ancient-origins.net/history-famous-people/crucifixion-margaretta-peter-0011535 https://www.christianitytoday.com/history/people/moversandshakers/ulrich-zwingli.html https://brewminate.com/the-crucifixion-of-margaretta-peter/ https://www.recountandreveal.com/blog/2019/8/16/the-dangers-of-influence-margaretta-peter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pietism https://historycollection.com/10-wth-historical-details/10/
