  • Resumen

  • In this episode of Hometown History, we uncover the rise and fall of the Psychiana Movement, one of the most unusual religious movements in American history. Founded in 1929 by Frank Bruce Robinson, a man with a troubled past, Psychiana promised its followers the power to communicate directly with God and harness divine energy through the power of affirmation. This mail-order religion flourished during the Great Depression, offering hope to people during a time of economic despair. But as the movement grew, so did opposition and controversy, leading to Robinson’s deportation and eventual demise. Join us as we explore how Psychiana captured the hearts of thousands and left a lasting impact on America’s religious landscape.
