Magic  rocks, glass-looking, treasure-seeking - many Latter-day Saints realise  that this was the world of Joseph Smith, founding prophet of Mormonism.  Smith was deeply involved in divination and folk-magic. Yet Latter-day  Saints often believe that Joseph Smith's money digging and folk magic  era was notably distinct from his tenure as LDS Prophet. But is that  true?

Joseph’s  involvement with treasure seeking and magic blurred into his role as  the founding prophet of Mormonism. Mormonism wasn’t a distinct phase of  Joseph’s life after he concluded his life of magic—it was directly born  out of it. And in this video, I’m going to prove that to you.

Joseph  never completely departed from magic; we just have no evidence of that  kind of repentance. I want my LDS friends to be warned—false spirits  intend to pull people away from the truth, to deceive them. That’s why  Satan is called the Father of Lies. They pull people away from what God  has revealed about Himself, ourselves, and the Gospel. These things are  not meant to be trifled with, or taken lightly.
