Download or read book Conjuring the Spirit World written by George H. Schwartz and published by Rizzoli International Publications. This book was released on 2024-09-03 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Posters, photography, and objects from the height of Spiritualism and the history of magic gain renewed power when seen through today’s lens. The human desire to connect with the dead since the mid-19th century gave rise to a fascination with the supernatural and the magical. Mediums and magicians from Harry Houdini, Margery the Medium, Howard Thurston, and the Fox Sisters offered “communication” with the departed at séances and magic shows, two interrelated forms of popular culture that relied heavily on illusions and stagecraft. This is the first illustrated volume to gather the art and objects that made medium and magician performances iconic during the Spiritualism movement and beyond, a time when people actively debated and wondered, "can spirits return?" An international selection of paintings, photographs, posters, stage apparatuses, film, publications, and other objects reveal how audiences were entranced and mystified by these experiential performances, captivating willing believers and garnering skeptics as they navigated the intersecting realms of science and spirituality. From the origins of the iconic Oujia board to spirit photography, this book is a treasure trove.

Download or read book The News Brothers written by Stanley O. Shelton and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-03-22 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The news business today is much different from those talked about in this book. The old days of knowing the English language and writing good grammatical sentences has gone. As Jean Shelton told me many years ago, “During the Depression, teachers got jobs wherever they could. Ours had a PhD from Berkeley. She drilled all of us boys with good English grammar all through our schooling.” With this in mind, you might understand why the Shelton boys became journalists. Their days in the business carried them in many different directions—some everyday occurrences, others very intriguing such as the Kennedy assignation. This book covers their lives and the news business.

Download or read book Spiritualism in the American Civil War written by R. Gregory Lande and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's Civil War took a dreadful toll on human lives, and the emotional repercussions were exacerbated by tales of battlefield atrocities, improper burials and by the lack of news that many received about the fate of their loved ones. Amidst widespread religious doubt and social skepticism, spiritualism--the belief that the spirits of the dead existed and could communicate with the living--filled a psychological void by providing a pathway towards closure during a time of mourning, and by promising an eternal reunion in the afterlife regardless of earthly sins. Primary research, including 55 months of the weekly spiritual newspaper, Banner of Light and records of hundreds of soldiers' and family members' spirit messages, reveals unique insights into battlefield deaths, the transition to spirit life, and the motivations prompting ethereal communications. This book focuses extensively on Spiritualism's religious, political, and commercial activities during the war years, as well as the controversies surrounding the faith, strengthening the connection between ante- and postbellum studies of Spiritualism.
