The Native American Church, popularly known for its use of the psychedelic plant peyote, sprung out of late the 19th century pan-Native American movement and quickly spread across the country. Join us as we discuss its practices and history, from its beginnings in the Rio Grande Valley to its spread into Oklahoma Territory among resettled Native Americans and later depictions in the 1969 Pulitzer prize-winning book, "House Made of Dawn" by N. Scott Momoday.

We cover the beliefs, practices, and history of the Society of Friends, also known as the Quakers - an unassuming Protestant group to modern eyes with a radical past.

In this episode, we discuss the life of its founder, Mary Baker Eddy, and why the ideas she put forth in her best-selling book, Science and Health, captivated its readers.
