Psychic Investigators
Author: Efram Sera-Shriar
Publisher: University of Pittsburgh Press
ISBN: 0822988712
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
Psychic Investigators examines British anthropology’s engagement with the modern spiritualist movement during the late Victorian era. Efram Sera-Shriar argues that debates over the existence of ghosts and psychical powers were at the center of anthropological discussions on human beliefs. He focuses on the importance of establishing credible witnesses of spirit and psychic phenomena in the writings of anthropologists such as Alfred Russel Wallace, Edward Burnett Tylor, Andrew Lang, and Edward Clodd. The book draws on major themes, such as the historical relationship between science and religion, the history of scientific observation, and the emergence of the subfield of anthropology of religion in the second half of the nineteenth century. For secularists such as Tylor and Clodd, spiritualism posed a major obstacle in establishing the legitimacy of the theory of animism: a core theoretical principle of anthropology founded in the belief of “primitive cultures” that spirits animated the world, and that this belief represented the foundation of all religious paradigms. What becomes clear through this nuanced examination of Victorian anthropology is that arguments involving spirits or psychic forces usually revolved around issues of evidence, or lack of it, rather than faith or beliefs or disbeliefs.

Medical Meddlers, Mediums and Magicians
Author: Dr Keith Souter
Publisher: The History Press
ISBN: 0752478079
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
The Victorians had a thirst for knowledge. This drove them to explore the unchartered corners of the world, plumb the unfathomable depths of science, discover evolution and create some of the engineering and architectural marvels of the world. Yet this open-mindedness also at times made them utterly gullible. Because of their closeness to disease and the ever-present threat of their own mortality, it was inevitable that they would be open to the claims of quacks who promised all kinds of panaceas, and to mediums who offered a means of communicating with the dead. So too did it make them eager for diversion and entertainment by the conjurers and illusionists of the great music halls. Strangely, it was through the magic-making skill of the conjurers that the activities of many of the tricksters and fraudulent mediums finally came to be exposed. Medical Meddlers, Mediums & Magicians is a box of delights for all students of Victoriana.

In the invisible: spiritism and mediumship
Author: Léon Denis
Publisher: FEB Editora
ISBN: 6555705868
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
Allan Kardec recommended prudence and knowledge as necessary preparation for the practice of mediumship, as they are the means for avoiding conscious and unconscious errors. In the Invisible is an indispensable book for students of mediumistic experimentation. Léon Denis wrote this treatise on experimental Spiritism, which, besides studying the laws that govern the communications between the invisible and physical worlds, presents a large number of spirit-related cases researched by scholars and the conclusions they reached. The author concludes that, “The constant and in-depth study of the invisible world, which is also the world of causes, will be the great resource and the inexhaustible reservoir on which thought and life must be nourished. Mediumship is the key.”
