| 520 | _a"Psychomancy: Spirit-Rappings and Table-Tippings Exposed" by Charles Grafton Page is a critical treatise written in the mid-19th century. The work delves into the phenomena of spirit communications and table movements, dismissed by the author as illusions rooted in human deception rather than genuine supernatural occurrences. Page argues against the credulity of society in regard to these practices, asserting they are little more than frauds perpetuated by charlatans for profit. The opening of the text sets a provocative tone, as Page challenges the widespread belief in spirit-rappings and table-tippings. He provides vivid descriptions of his own investigations into these practices, denouncing them as mere tricks executed by fraudsters, particularly the Fox sisters, who were among the first to popularize spiritualism in America. Through a series of experiments and observations, he strives to uncover the mechanics behind these phenomena, consistently attributing their origins to human agency rather than otherworldly forces. Page's writing is impassioned, urging readers to critically evaluate such miraculous claims through the lens of logic and science. (This is an automatically generated summary.) | ||
