Dive into the hidden history of American Spiritualism in this episode as we critically examine the second half of the very first issue of The Univercoelum and Spiritual Philosopher (1848). Featuring writings by Samuel Byron Britton, Woodbury Fernald, and Francis Marion Baker, plus a mystical poem by Thomas Lake Harris, we uncover how these early voices shaped metaphysical thought, radical religion, and social reform. The episode also includes an original song inspired by John Greenleaf Whittier’s poetry. Perfect for seekers, historians, and anyone curious about the spiritual roots of 19th-century America.
