Tonight I sit down with researchers Alex Criddle, Brandon Crockett, and Cody Noconi to discuss their documentary on the psychedelic origins of Mormonism called “EnthoMagus”. Alex has a MA in Philosophy and researches philosophy of mind, mental illness, psychedelics, mysticism, occult, mormon history, birds, permaculture. Cody and Alex have contributed to academic papers on this topic and I added the links below along with their info if you would like to connect with them.
