About this episode

This week, we're using the Masonic tool of Truth to uncover the real story of Thanksgiving. Did it really involve a peaceful meeting? Was it politically motivated? Was it a total myth? Then we're going to take an unusual turn as we use a tarot deck to bring some levity to the show after a highly reflective educational topic. Thanks for listening, and have an amazing Thanksgiving week!
