S2E11: Jewish Obsession in American Cults Pt. 1

from The Sword and Staff · host The Sword and Staff

This episode explores the origins of Israeli obsession in evangelical culture and begins to uncover the occult origins of Mormonism. Be sure to join in for our next episode as we move deeper into Mormonism, outlining its own reliance on Hebrew identity, and look at another distinctly American cult, the black Hebrew Israelites. How are they all related? And what was the cultural context of the time? Discover the magical practices of Joseph Smith and his family and the mysterious visions of Margaret McDonald and the Irvingite movement, and why Darby and Scofield shaped so much of your life.Links:“Joseph Smith - Necromancer”: https://youtu.be/05-xQ9B7Ubk“Mars Dagger” - Lost Mormonism: https://www.lostmormonism.com/mars-dagger/“Faculty of Abrac” - Universal Co-Masonry - Encyclopedia Masonica: https://www.universalfreemasonry.org/en/encyclopedia/faculty-of-abrac“Magic Circles” - Lost Mormonism: https://www.lostmormonism.com/magic-circles/“Josphe Smith & Money Digging”: https://rsc.byu.edu/sites/default/files/pub_content/pdf/Joseph_Smith_and_Money_Digging.pdf“The Locations of Joseph Smith’s Early Treasure Quests”: https://www.dialoguejournal.com/articles/the-locations-of-joseph-smiths-early-treasure-quests/“Scrying for the Lord: Magic, Mysticism, and the Origins of the Book of Mormon”: https://www.dialoguejournal.com/articles/the-locations-of-joseph-smiths-early-treasure-quests/Mentioned in the show and other readings (Amazon Affiliate Links):“Truths We Confess" by R.C.
