The CRAZIEST Beliefs of LDS Apostles That Will Blow Your Mind 🧠 | Pyramid Prophecies, Relics & Guardian Angels

Join Cardon Ellis and Dr. Christopher Blyth (BYU Folklore Professor, Angels and Seer Stones podcast) for an epic deep dive into the wildest unofficial beliefs, folklore, and open theology from Latter-day Saint apostles throughout history!

From Orson Pratt's Pyramid Prophecies predicting the Millennium, Heber C. Kimball's powerful healing relics and coffin canes, Orson Hyde's guardian angels (including one for America!), Hyrum Smith's radical take on the Witch of Endor as a priestess, Parley P. Pratt's spiritual fluid, reincarnation ideas, and so much more—this episode is packed with fascinating "Mormon weird" that the Church doesn't take an official stance on.

We also discuss relics, Jesus' possible marriage, progression between kingdoms, and why early Saints were so excited about ancient wisdom.

Perfect for fans of Church history, apologetics, and mind-bending LDS lore!
