    PARTICIPATION, IDENTITY, AND SOCIAL SUPPORT IN A SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY by LA DORNA MCGEE Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN SOCIOLOGY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON December 2005 Copyright © by La Dorna McGee 2005 All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my mom who always supported me in my endeavors. I would also like to thank Kathy Rowe, Jane Nicol, and Suzanne Baldon for their support. Lastly, I would like to thank my committee members for their extreme patience and guidance through this process. April 22, 2005 iii ABSTRACT PARTICIPATION, IDENTITY, AND SOCIAL SUPPORT IN A SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY Publication No. ______ La Dorna McGee, M.A. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2005 Supervising Professor: Frank Weed Paganism is a loosely organized community whose religious ideology incorporates the immanence of Deity. As a religious association with an ideology different from traditional Judeo-Christian faiths, members are often labeled as deviant and subjected to various negative sanctions. By relying on survey data collected on April 9-12, 1996 and in depth personal interviews collected on October 10-13, 1996, this study presents a model that best describes and explains acceptance and participation in Pagan spiritualism. This study identifies three characteristics associated with positive ratings of childhood religious affiliation (church disaffection, family closeness, and iv membership role), three characteristics associated with feelings of belonging to the Pagan community (church disaffection, social support, and participation), and finally examines a member’s disclosure of their Pagan identity as being a function of occupational prestige, weighing the costs of negative sanctions versus the Pagan value of openly expressing a Pagan identity, and self-efficacy.

  • Henry Handel Richardson, a Secret Life – by Dr Barbara Finlayson
    Henry Handel Richardson, a Secret Life – a talk given by Dr Barbara Finlayson at the Bendigo Philosopher’s Group on July 2, 2018 The background music are songs to which Henry Handel Richardson (HHR mainly from now on) wrote the music, some whilst she was at school, others as a music student at Leipzig. That she wrote music is not well known as was her deep involvement in Spiritualism, the subject of my talk. Firstly though, I shall give a very, very, potted summary about this author Henry Handel Richardson, the nom de plume of Ethel Florence Lindesay Richardson. She was born on the 3rd January 1870 in East Melbourne, the eldest daughter of Dr Walter Richardson and his wife Mary. The family lived in various Victorian towns, as well as Melbourne itself during HHR’s childhood and youth. These included Chiltern, Queenscliff, Koroit, and Maldon after her father’s death. Her mother took the family to Europe in 1888 to enable HHR and her sister Lill to continue her musical studies at the Leipzig Conservatorium. HHR married George Robertson who became chair at the University of London and they moved to that city 1903. She published her first novel, Maurice Guest in 1908 and that is when she adopted her pseudonym. (I have included a list of her writing in the hand out.) The best known are The Getting of Wisdom and The Fortunes of Richard Mahony. She died in 1946, aged 76. In Dorothy Green’s book about Henry Handel Richardson, Ulysses Bound, she said, ‘Richardson’s life-long adherence to Spiritualism is a fact which has largely been ignored.’ This book was first published in 1973, and HHR’s involvement in Spiritualism was largely ignored until 1996 when 2 events occurred.

Murton, struck a very discordant note:1 The Case of Mrs. Duncan AT the Old Bailey, on Friday, March 31st, after a trial lasting seven days, Mrs. Helen Duncan, with three others, was convicted of conspiring to contravene Section 4 of the Witchcraft Act of 1735, and of pretending to exercise conjuration. There were also other charges of causing money to be paid by false pretences and creating a public mischief, but after finding the defendants guilty of the conspiracy the jury were discharged from giving verdicts on the other counts.

Another well-known artist of this period was Mrs. Mary Winefride Slater. In Psypioneer February 2015 we published her image of Helen Duncan’s child communicator “Peggy”.

Slater produced one of the images of “Zodiac” the guide/control who first entranced medium Winifred Moyes in 1921, giving the first public address in August 1928.

  • Dr Dingwall's Casebook Part One: a Sceptical Enquirer
    Dr Dingwall’s Casebook Part One: A Sceptical Enquirer Eric John Dingwall, author, anthropologist, librarian, psychic investigator, and, to some, the ‘British Kinsey’ is less well-known than his erstwhile colleague and sometime adversary, Harry Price, but is a figure of equal interest, says Christopher Josiffe (copyright 2013) Eric John Dingwall was born in Ceylon in 1890 (or 1891, he was not certain of his actual date of birth]. Like Price, he was fortunate enough to have a private income which allowed him to pursue his various interests freely. He studied modern languages at Pembroke College, Cambridge, and honed his librarianship and cataloguing skills whilst employed at the Cambridge University Library between 1915 and 1918. One of his earliest interests was conjuring and stage magic. Having performed his first magic trick aged eight, he joined the Magic Circle in 1909, eventually becoming an honorary Vice President. The secrets and tricks of sleight-of-hand that he learned there proved to be invaluable for his subsequent investigations into séances and mediums. It was as fellow members of the Magic Circle that Dingwall and Price first made another’s acquaintance. Dr Dingwall and Mr Price Dingwall had joined the Society for Psychical Research in 1920, also holding the post of Director of the American SPR’s Department of Physical Phenomena, pertaining to ‘physical’ mediumship – the manifestation of apports, ectoplasm and pseudopods – as opposed to ‘mental’ mediumship, or the apparent display of clairvoyance and telepathy. From 1921 to 1927 he sat with various mediums, testing their claims and observing them at close hand.

He was born in a lonely village called Ten Alders, high on the mountain at the head of the Northward Vale. Below the village the pastures and plowlands of the Vale slope downward level below level towards the sea, and other towns lie on the bends of the River Ar; above the village only forest rises ridge behind ridge to the stone and snow of the heights.
