About the author
Ronnie Pontiac writes on the history of Western esotericism and American spiritual movements. American Metaphysical Religion: Esoteric and Mystical Traditions of the New World, published by Inner Traditions, surveys four centuries of American occult and spiritual history, from colonial-era alchemists to twentieth-century teachers, describing how esoteric beliefs from around the world blended within the American religious landscape from its earliest days, and covering figures such as Manly P. Hall. With Tamra Lucid, Pontiac is also the author of The Unobstructed Way, which revisits the story of Stewart Edward White, a bestselling adventure novelist and conservationist, and his wife Betty White, and their accounts of exploring the nature of life after death. Pontiac's work situates individual spiritual teachers and movements within the broader, often overlooked history of American metaphysical religion.
