The Shaker was the periodical of the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, published from the Shaker communities in the late nineteenth century. It is at heart a millenarian and communitarian Christian paper: the Shakers held that Christ's second coming had already begun and organized themselves into celibate, property-sharing villages whose life the journal chronicled. It also carried the sect's own vigorous spiritualism — mediumship, materializations, and communications from the spirit world that flowered in the Shaker 'Era of Manifestations' — together with the temperance, diet, and hygiene reform characteristic of the Society. It thus sits where utopian communal living, prophetic millenarianism, and a distinctively religious spiritualism meet.
