THE MEDIUMSHIP of ARNOLD CLARE Leader of the Trinity of Spiritual Fellowship
THE MEDIUMSHIP OF ARNOLD CLARE Leader of the Trinity of Spiritual Fellowship by HARRY EDWARDS Captain, Indian Army Reserve of Officers. Lieutenant, Home Guard. Parliamentary Candidate North Camberwell 1929 and North-West Camberwell 1936. London County Council Candidate 1928, 1931, 1934, 1937. Leader of the Balham Psychic Research Society. Author of ‘The Mediumship of Jack Webber’ First Published by: THE PSYCHIC BOOK CLUB 144 High Holborn, London, W.C. 1 FOREWORD Apart from the report by Mr. W. Harrison of the early development of Mr. Arnold Clare's mediumship, the descriptions of the séances, the revelations of Peter and the writing of this book took place during the war years 1940-41. As enemy action on London intensified, the physical séances ceased and in the autumn of 1940 were replaced by discussion circles. The first few circles took place in the author's house before a company of about twenty people. It was soon appreciated that the intelligence (known as Peter), speaking through the entranced medium, was of a high order and worthy of reporting. So these large discussion groups gave way to a small circle held in the medium's house, attended by Mr. and Mrs. Clare, Mr. and Mrs. Hart, Mrs. Edwards and the author, an occasional visitor and with Mrs. W. B. Cleveland as stenographer. The procedure at these circles would be that, in normal white light, Mr. Clare would enter into a trance state. His Guide, Peter, taking control, would discourse upon the selected topic answering all questions fluently and without hesitation. Frequently, during these sittings, the air-raid sirens would be heard and the local anti- aircraft guns would be in action. -

"LIGHT, MORE LIGHT”: The “Light” Newspaper, Spiritualism and British Society, 1881-1920. A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Masters in History by Brian Edmund Glenney December, 2009 Accepted by: Dr. Michael Silvestri, Committee Chair Dr. Alan Grubb Dr. Megan Taylor Shockley i ABSTRACT This thesis looks at the spiritualist weekly Light through Late Victorian, Edwardian, and World War I Britain. Light has never received any extended coverage or historical treatment yet it was one of the major spiritualist newspapers during this part of British history. This thesis diagrams the lives of Light ’s first four major editors from 1881 till the end of World War I and their views on the growth of science, God, Christ, evolution, and morality. By focusing on one major spiritualist newspaper from 1881 till 1920, this thesis attempts to bridge the gap in spiritualist historiography that marks World War I as a stopping or starting point. -

The History Spiritualism
THE HISTORY of SPIRITUALISM by ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE, M.D., LL.D. former President d'Honneur de la Fédération Spirite Internationale, President of the London Spiritualist Alliance, and President of the British College of Psychic Science Volume Two With Eight Plates Sir Arthur Conon Doyle CHAPTER I THE CAREER OF EUSAPIA PALLADINO The mediumship of Eusapia Palladino marks an important stage in the history of psychical research, because she was the first medium for physical phenomena to be examined by a large number of eminent men of science. The chief manifestations that occurred with her were the movement of objects without contact, the levitation of a table and other objects, the levitation of the medium, the appearance of materialized hands and faces, lights, and the playing of musical instruments without human contact. All these phenomena took place, as we have seen, at a much earlier date with the medium D. D. Home, but when Sir William Crookes invited his scientific brethren to come and examine them they declined. Now for the first time these strange facts were the subject of prolonged investigation by men of European reputation. Needless to say, these experimenters were at first sceptical in the highest degree, and so-called ‘tests’ (those often silly precautions which may defeat the very object aimed at) were the order of the day. No medium in the whole world has been more rigidly tested than this one, and since she was able to convince the vast majority of her sitters, it is clear that her mediumship was of no ordinary type. -

PSYPIONEER Founded by Leslie Price Editor Paul J. Gaunt Volume 3, No 1; January 2007 Available as an Electronic Newsletter Highlights of this issue: Dead Men’s Embers. 1 Mr. Mrs. Thomas Everitt. – Paul J. Gaunt 3 Emma Hardinge Britten and the Spiritualist Encyclopaedia 9 The Yorkshire Fairies 15 Letters from Mr. J.J. Morse, IX. 18 How to obtain this Newsletter by email. 22 ========================================= Book Review by Leslie Price: DEAD MEN’S EMBERS This new book, now available in the U.K., is authored by Gerald O’Hara B.Sc. and can be obtained direct from him at 62, Nunnery Lane, York, Y023 1AJ. U.K. The cost is £15.99 + £2.50 pp within the U.K. To contact Gerald, his e-mail address is: [email protected]. (The book is also available via Amazon.) This is one of the most important books ever written by a Spiritualist on the Movement’s history. Readers of Psypioneer have already seen (November 2006 issue) the foreword which explains its plan. The unusual title is adapted from a line in Robert Graves “The White Goddess” (Blow on a dead man’s embers and a fire will start). The book is original in several respects. It is still uncommon for scholars to follow Logie Barrow “Independent Spirits” in giving attention to plebeian Spiritualism in England. It is rare for a book on Spiritualist history to focus on one city (however, Vieda Skultans “Intimacy and Ritual” was an anthropological study of Spiritualists in a South Wales town.). Though Dr G.K. Nelson made a sociological analysis of the Movement in his book “`Spiritualism and Society”, O’Hara provides a detailed analysis of a local Spiritualist community. -
