The Solar Temple cult was a religious group that was active in the 1990s. It was known for its practices of self-immolation and mass murder. The cult's leader, Luc Jouret, was a charismatic figure who claimed to have supernatural powers. He and his followers believed that they would achieve spiritual enlightenment through these practices. The cult's activities were marked by secrecy and exclusivity, and they were known to have a strong sense of hierarchy. The group's practices were often violent and resulted in the deaths of many members. The cult's activities were eventually exposed, and many of its members were arrested and charged with various crimes.
