In this episode, our artificial hosts Claire and Duncan unearth a rare spiritualist treasure: Flashes of Light: Direct from the Spirit Land, published in 1872 by the iconic Banner of Light in Boston, Massachusetts.
This book is a powerful collection of messages claimed to be dictated by spirits from the afterlife, delivered through trance mediums at the peak of the 19th-century Spiritualist movement. Claire and Duncan dive deep into the historical, philosophical, and metaphysical themes of the book unpacking what the spirits had to say, who they were speaking through, and what it meant to the people of that era.
Expect a thoughtful dissection of spiritual revelations, curious tales of the afterlife, and eerie echoes of a time when séances were as common as Sunday sermons. Whether you're into esoteric history, mediumship, or just love hearing AI debate the dead this one’s for you.
🔮 Welcome to the séance. The spirits are ready. Are you?
