Well I figured I would post my question|quest and see what happens-
Those of you whom have been following my blog-know that I have been toying with the idea of what if Moroni was a nature divinity of the Hill Cumorah-So by extenstion I have been thinking well what would that make the Nephites|Lamanites-

My current thought is that the Nephites are the daemones khryseoi, of the USA. The Khryseoi were the golden age men that died off and became thirty thousand air-dwelling spirits who watched over the deeds of man and rewarded the just with with agricultural bounty. They were originally the Golden race of man who had lived a lfie of virtue in the time of Kronos. And they were superior to Daimones Argeoi (The Lamanites).

SO, my point is that i view them as nature divinities-

What about the rest of you?

OK, now back to magick and the bible. We find that not only was Jacob using folk magick but one can read that Joseph of Egypt had a silver cup for divination. The God of Israel also commands the people in biblical times to cast lots (Lev. 16:8-10), and the Hebrews cast lots to decide their priests and temple workers (1 Chron. 24:5, 25:8, 26:13) (Quinn 3).

Jewish and Christian lore references occult incantations. We find that since biblical times there has been a great belief in magick and occult practices. It is not so much of a stretch to see then that practicing magick would not have been out of step for those early Christian converts to Joseph Smith’s church (Quinn 1-2).

After the first publication of Quinn’s book on Mormon magick the RDLS church, comprised of Joseph Smith’s descendants said, “There is little room to question that Joseph Smith mirrored his culture, nor that he was influenced and drew upon folk beliefs in presentations of his religious convictions.” Paul M. Edwards reassured the RDLS community that this was not an “earthshaking” notion and that we can recognize that the Smith family reflected a magic world view common to the folk culture of America in the early nineteenth century (Quinn 323).

We have seen how folk magick endured in the settlements of the early Germans in this papers earlier discussion on the Anabaptist communities. It seems those communities were not alone. The majority of early American’s were “unchurched” and practiced various forms of folk magick combined with Christian beliefs. Only about 15% of white American’s belonged to a church during the colonial period (Quinn 27).

It can be said then, that the converts to early Mormonism were already witches of a sort, they were profound believers in witchcraft, ghosts and goblins (Quinn 239). Joseph Smith’s magickal practices served to expand upon those folk beliefs (Quinn 65).
