I and several other people investigate. This first came to light on a Facebook account created by Harbinger in Texas that has since been shut down, linking to Instagram posts full of TikTok videos and pretty clever marketing techniques. Nobody in the RLSH Community had even heard of this Harbinger until he started marketing this book, suggesting he only exists...

In Memory of Umbratica

In Memory of Umbratica

14 April, 2021

2021 has not been as kind as we would have liked. On April 9th, we have lost another of our own due to a severe asthma attack, a man we knew as Umbratica.

He was there for many who were devastated they were taken advantage of by their former mentor - a very heavy subject...
