Trance Mediumship....

I have recently come into possession of a new set of audio cassette recordings of spirit communications received through trance mediumship. They are fascinating.

This situation provides me with the perfect opportunity to compare two sets of spirit teachings received through separate mediums and recorded at different times and in different locations by groups unknown to each other.

It will be very interesting to see what sort of correlations and possible divergences show up between the two data sets.

Talking With The Spirits - Interview...

Here is a short film that I edited together from an interview conducted a week or so ago with Christine Di Nucci, the founder of the Bristol Spirit Lodge; the venue at which I conducted my dissertation fieldwork.

Due to a change of circumstance interviews with mediums and sitters will now likely be in audio format.

Talking With the Spirits: Bristol Spirit Lodge Documentary Film...

I have just commenced work an an ethnographic/documentary style film about the Bristol Spirit Lodge, a centre for the development and promotion of trance and physical mediumship. The film will feature indepth interviews with members of the lodge, including sitters and mediums, in an attempt to expand upon the fieldwork I conducted there for my dissertation earlier in the year. It's primary focus will be on the way in which seance experiences are interpreted and lived with by those who are witness to them.

More news on the film will be made available as the project develops.

Charlie: Trance Communication & Spirit Teachings...

Coming Soon...

A collection of transcribed seance recordings from the Bristol Spirit Lodge. The book is specifically concerned with communications and teachings received via trance mediumship from a spirit affectionately referred to as Charlie. The transcriptions are written out in full as a means to demonstrate the informal nature of the seances conducted at the Lodge and to provide an insight into the type of topics generally discussed with spirit communicators revealing a fascinating perspective on philosophy, life, death and the afterlife.

The book is set to be published and made available within the coming months.
