The Spiritualist was an American movement magazine of 1915 and 1916, and few periodicals in this archive are so concentrated on a single subject. Mediumship fills it: mediums named and reviewed, seances described, spirit controls identified, materialisations reported, and the craft discussed technically by those who practised it — the difference, for instance, between a medium who writes in trance and one who writes without any loss of consciousness. Its purpose beyond the reporting is consolation, and it returns steadily to the assurance that the dead are reachable and that thanks sent to them arrive. Around that core it carried the mixed metaphysical fare its readers expected in the 1910s: a standing astrology department with horoscopes and forecasts, reports of the New Thought movement whose readership overlapped its own, and a light occult miscellany. It is an insider organ of organised Spiritualism at a moment when the movement was about to be transformed again by the losses of the First World War. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
