Conducting Your Own Séance
It’s human nature to wonder about the supernatural world, with 785,000 US women spending more than $1000 on psychic readings in 2015 and 145,000 people returning for consults within a year. Whether you want to connect with a deceased family member, you think you’re living with ghosts or you want a bit of fun, séances are an attempt to communicate with spirits. Séances go back as far as 1760 and gained great popularity in the mid-nineteenth century with the founding of the religion Spiritualism. There are many traditions around conducting a séance, many still followed today and maintain a strong focus on spiritualism.
