About the Author
Introduction
Physical mediumship is a Spiritualist phenomenon that holds a lot of mystery and conflicting information.
For some people, it’s a fascinating facet of mediumship: actual, tangible evidence that the laws of physics and the workings of the world may not be exactly as they seem.
For others, it seems it must all be fakery.
Given that many forms of physical mediumship are performed in dark or dimly-lit rooms and the explanations of how they work are shrouded in secrecy and confusing explanations, it’s not surprising there are conflicting views.
This book aims to clear up much of the mystery, conflict and secrecy.
While I'm definitely not an expert on physical mediumship, I have studied, worked with, experienced and produced several forms of physical mediumship in the 17 years since I began studying mediumship in 2001. Between that, my research, and tapping into my own intuition for guidance, what follows is my understanding of how physical mediumship works overall, along with each of its phases, and the steps you can take to learn how to do it yourself, if you so desire.
I also want to say upfront that I realize I may not have all the right answers. There are things I may be misunderstanding myself.
In this book, I explain physical mediumship to the best of my ability, based on my experiences, research and current understanding. If it makes sense to you, that’s great. If you think it works differently, that’s fine, too.
Some of the concepts and ideas seem a bit out there, I admit, and contradictory information abounds in terms of how it works and how to do it (what lighting is necessary, for instance).
I encourage you to think critically, with an open mind, and a sense of possibility. There are so many things in this world that, until we had the science and the language to explain them, seemed inexplicable. Imagine someone 50 years ago trying to explain how your cell phone works, before we had the ability to produce tiny, powerful computers capable of the processing powers of today’s cell phones. Or think about how the concept of electricity, something we understand well and completely take for granted, would have seemed to people in the 17th century. They knew about static electricity from friction and electric fish, but not the true power of what it could accomplish and how it worked. My sense is that a lot of how mediumship works, mental and physical, is similar—we just don’t have the concepts and vocabulary for science to quantify it yet.
I’ve consulted with several texts on physical mediumship to give you as accurate and thorough an explanation and understanding of the phenomenon as a I can. I hope this book is useful to you and helpful in your journey for knowledge end experience in Spiritualist physical mediumship.
An overview of physical mediumship
Physical mediumship is a fascinating facet of mediumship.
For some people, it feels more solid and real than mental mediumship, as you can see the phenomena happening with your eyes, or hear it with your physical ears, and it can usually be confirmed and observed by others present.
Forms of physical mediumship include:
Rapping, table tipping and levitation
Materialization, etherealization and
transfiguration
Apportation
Precipitation
Direct voice and trumpet mediumship
Automatic writing and drawing, including planchette
Independent writing and slate writing
Trance channeling
Spirit photography
Spoon bending
Dowsing and pendulum work
Many phases of physical mediumship—specifically the ectoplasm-based ones including levitation, materialization, direct voice and spirit photography—aren’t practiced like they used to be in Spiritualism’s heyday and finding practitioners can be difficult in the United States. However, other forms are practiced widely—trance channeling and pendulum work, for instance—even if many practitioners don’t consider them to be physical mediumship.
I don’t know for sure why the ectoplasm-based phases of mediumship have fallen out of favor but, from talking to fellow mediums and Spirit, I have some theories:
● We've moved beyond it
We no longer need the concrete, tangible connection with Spirit that is apparent in many forms of physical mediumship. We
