Today, with Mitch Horowitz (@mitchhorowitz6054), we dive into the occult origins of America and the hidden influence of secret societies throughout history. From the alchemical pursuits of Isaac Newton and Abraham Lincoln’s White House seances to the psychic phenomenon of telepathy and the multiverse of quantum computing, we explore how ancient traditions and ritual magic continue to shape our modern world.
