Description of  Occult America White House Seances, Ouija Circles, Masons and the Secret Mystic History of Our Nation 2023 Edition [Audiobook]

B0CDHL4QQ4 M4B@64 kbps Author: Mitch Horowitz Narrator: Mitch Horowitz It touched lives as disparate as those of Frederick Douglass, Franklin Roosevelt, and Mary Todd Lincoln-who once convinced her husband, Abe, to host a sance in the White House. Americans all, they were among the famous figures whose paths intertwined with the mystical and esoteric movement broadly known as the occult. Brought over from the Old World and spread throughout the New by some of the most obscure but gifted men and women of early U.S. history, this "hidden wisdom" transformed the spiritual life of the still-young nation and, through it, much of the Western world. Yet the story of the American occult has remained largely untold. Now a leading writer on the subject of alternative spirituality brings it out of the shadows. Here is a rich, fascinating, and colorful history of a religious revolution and an epic of offbeat history.
