The Radical Origins of Spiritualism - Revolutionary Communication with the Dead

The Seance and the Ouija Board are all now common place themes in the imaginary. But from the first communications from the World of the Spirits starting in the Spring of 1848 to the start of the American Civil War in 1861 were truly radical. Acting as mediums, women and girls began a series of public revelations for total social transformation - abolition of slavery, female emancipation and social autonomy, suffrage, free love, clothing and medical reform, anti-organized religion and radical socialism. Who were these early, radical spiritualists?

In all of the discussion of spiritualism I've seen before now, there has never been a nod to the radical social reform messages that have often come through. In modern spiritualist circles (with which I don't have direct contact; I've only seen documentaries or heard about certain aspects of them, and have met a few spiritualists semi-casually), I haven't heard about much of a carry-over of this aspect of the tradition, either...which is a great pity. Considering where it was happening and when, it shouldn't be a surprise; and yet, in the History textbooks that I've used in the college classes I used to teach, the Second Great Awakening's connection to some of these more radical ideas is not always emphasized, outside of ideas like the Oneida community's free love and so forth...and spiritualism doesn't get much mention at all. :( Also: as ever, your jokes in the captions are always fantastic...that password was brilliant! ;) And I seriously hope folks around our age get the "Yo! Fox Sisters Raps" reference as well...!

I have a major in religious studies and when we were taught about spiritualism from one of our lecturers I asked if ghost hunting shows like Ghost Files for example could be seen as an evolution of spiritualism. The lecturer said ”no,” but I don’t know if I agree. If we strip away the ”entertainment” and just focus on the tools, which often are instruments to measure electromagnetic fields, capturing spirits on camera or communicating with the dead through radio waves, I’d say it could be considered spiritualism. Often the premises for those types of shows is to find proof of the paranormal, and sometimes they even employ mediums; which definitely is a form of spiritualism. What are your thoughts? Also; great video as always! 😁

It's fascinating seeing the kind of stuff early mediums talked about, it came to me as pleasantly surprising even. My knowledge of spiritism until now was mostly limited to how mainstream spiritism in Brazil circa 1910 was too racist to talk with enslaved and indigenous spirits (as they were too "unevolved"), and thus Umbanda was formed as a mix of afro-Brazilian religions, catholicism and spiritism, iirc specifically Kardec because that was the main influence in that time and place. Even if Justin doesn't make a video about umbanda, I'd rly advise him and anyone else to look into it if you'reinto this kind of stuff, a very fascinating and interesting religion.

[@populuxe1]

Spiritualism, like other demimondes (bohemia, brothels, the theatre, camp) of the Victorian period, existed as a kind of parallel economy to the patriarchy where women and other subaltern groups could hold leadership roles, and indeed make money. The pattern of spiritualism being a locus of social reform follows a near-identical trajectory in Britain, Europe, and the British and Russian empires, as it did in the US. The seance was a safe space. Another important factor is that Spiritualist publishing was prolific and could reach larger audiences than some mainstream newspapers and weren't squeamish about publishing and paying women writers. There is probably more than a hint of Plato in the idea that an ideal democratic social equality existed on the other side that should be emulated on this side. Mind you, one might argue that otherworldly beings interfering in politics goes back to John Dee suggesting Elizabeth I create the British Empire. Another interesting tidbit is that asthma was sometimes called "the medium's disease" - not unreasonably because it was a niche invalids could support themselves in from home.

[@yensid4294]

I got somewhat fascinated by New Age Spiritualism when I was 12, 13 I guess. My mom had all of Edgar Cayces books & the 70s had shows on network tv like In Search Of hosted by Leonard Nimoy & Chariot of the Gods was new & so was Hal Lindsey's Late Great Planet Earth etc. Idk, it was a confusing time. But I got really into astrology & numerology & the possibility of past lives & it was all quite exciting. Then I learned more about the historical origins of Lost Atlantis, astrology, etc & also became more informed regarding actual astronomy, math, statistics, neuroscience & cognitive bias & I just stopped believing certain things were legit or physically possible. If more people knew that the "ancient wisdom" they are being enlightened by was invented in the 19th century or Middle Ages, it might make a difference. Now my interest in occult/ mysticism is more social- political & historical. Like what was going on in society for people to believe X ? That I find a much more interesting aspect of all things perjoratively labeled as woo like urban legends, cryptids, ancient aliens, Lost Atlantis, astrology, Tarot, ghosts, demonology/angelology etc. I think it's interesting how symbolism works within a culture & evolves into meaning something entirely different down thru the ages. What the human imagination can dream up to explain the world around them is just...astounding.

Shoemakers and mysticism probably go together for the same reason hatters and madness do--leatherworkers back in the day tended to get exposed to mercury and other fun substances. I don't know how likely it would be that a cobbler would tan their own leather, I imagine they'd get it from the tanner, which is why they'd only be exposed to a low level of the chemicals. Not enough to kill or make deeply sick, but definitely enough to make them a little loopy and hallucinatory. It would be interesting to see a map of where these guys lived, proximity to a tanner is a solid predictor of gnarly chemical exposure.
