In this episode we're diving into the childhood of Mormonism's founder, Joseph Smith Jr to learn more about his background with the occult, treasure digging, and his run-ins with the law. We explore the reasons behind why plant medicines may have been incorporated into the sacrament in the early church days and why that practice ended and whether or not Mormon temple ceremonies were patterned after Masonic temple ceremonies.   To learn more about the resources mentioned in this episode, visit the show notes.
