The following is an amalgamation of several accounts of a visitation which I believe to have been initiated by an entheogenic sacrament that was taken at Newel K. Whitney’s store.
Here are the various accounts I drew from:
History, 1838–1856, volume A-1 [23 December 1805–30 August 1834]

C. Sidney Rigdon explained that he and Frederick G. Williams had been called to be equals with Joseph Smith Jr., based on a revelation received ten days earlier.
D. Joseph laid his hands on them and ordained them to be his equals in the High Priesthood.

A. Joseph instructed and exhorted those in attendance to have faith and be true to the commandments of God.

C. Those who saw him were so overwhelmed that they felt as if they could melt.
D. Joseph explained that this was our Heavenly Father.

Heavenly visions, concourses of angels, and many other Divine manifestations were experienced.
