The Book of Séances: Hardcover
Description
As long as people have lived, they have longed for wisdom and comfort from those who have died. In The Book of Seances, artist, author and witch Claire Goodchild takes readers through the historical landscape of spiritualism and guides questers through safe practices for cultivating a connection with the other side.
Through her writing and her singular art, Claire provides a history of the seance alongside a guide to accessing and communing with the spirit world.
Why We Carry It
Goodchild is an artist first, and it shows. Most seance books are either credulous or sniffy; this one treats the Victorian spiritualist boom as real history and then teaches the practice anyway. The word doing the work in the publisher's own blurb is safe.
Who It Is For
Anyone who has a talking board and no idea what to do after opening it, and anyone who buys books partly to look at them.
