Ronnie Pontiac | Remembering Manly P. Hall, American Metaphysical Religion, & The Pagan Pilgrim
Ronnie Pontiac, American Metaphysical Religion and Esoteric History
Guest Ronnie Pontiac joins the program to discuss his book, American Metaphysical Religion, which explores the mystical and esoteric undercurrents of United States history. The conversation challenges the standard "Christian nation" narrative by highlighting the metaphysical views present in the layout of Washington DC and the symbolism of the dollar bill. Pontiac’s background as a research assistant to Manly P. Hall and his work in documentary production are introduced as foundational to his expertise in the "weirder" side of American history.
