Amy Carlson

Amy Carlson (November 30, 1975 – c. April 2021), also known by her followers as Mother God, was an American cult leader and co-founder of the new religious movement Love Has Won. Carlson and her followers believed herself to be God, a 19 billion years old being, a reincarnation of Jesus Christ, and could heal people of cancer "with the power of love." In Carlson's early adult life, she began to talk increasingly about "outlandish concepts" such as starships. During the mid 2000s, Carlson developed an interest in New Age philosophy, and became a regular poster on the forums of the website Lightworkers.org. In late 2007, Carlson left her third husband, her three children, and her job as a manager at McDonald's. She ceased contact with most members of her family, and moved to Colorado. The group was originally known under the name "Galactic Federation of Light". The group posted their first videos to YouTube in 2009. The movement began to grow from 2014 onwards, mainly by the internet. The group travelled between Colorado, Oregon, California and Florida prior to 2018, before moving to Moffat, Colorado.
