We have a varied selection of performers with us again this year - see page 5 for details. Before that however, we celebrate the fact that we are host to some of the best mediums in the world - on 20th May, Paul Jacobs will be back with his 5 day Course; in June, Gordon Smith's School of Intuitive Mediumship runs its second module of the Foundation Course and in July Tony Stockwell is conducting a course on Trance, something I know is very popular for those wanting to take their mediumship that step further. Tony is also giving a demonstration of mediumship on Saturday, 8th July - something not to be missed! As we head towards the Autumn we've given you a sneaky peak at some of our speakers in our Tuesday Talks series, which is growing more popular and attracting a regular audience. Also, we have some new Mediums to The Centre in our 'Affordable Workshop' series. See page 4 for more information.

You can access this interview in full via our website. Can you tell us a bit about your background. Where are you from and how did you get involved with Spiritualism? I’m from Wolverhampton originally and it was Wolverhampton Spiritualist Church where I first entered a Spiritualist Church. I had moved into temporary home premises connected to my work and I was having all of these weird and wonderful, strange objective experiences that scared the living daylights out of me. Then a few days later I was walking down a road and came across a building I’d walked past countless times saying Spiritualist Church and I thought I’d go in and see what’s going on. When I went in the medium on stage turned out to be my great aunt. 6 weeks later I had a phone call from her asking if I was still attending, and she invited me to go to Gordon Higginson’s church and meet him which meant nothing to me, but of course he was the president of the Spiritualist National Union, principle of the Arthur Findlay College, and the finest medium in the last 100 years. 6 weeks more than any evidence that I could give you, it’s very diffi- later my aunt died.

HORNBY ROAD BOMBAY 1938 Published by P» DirvjV.aw for the New Boob Company. KHnb Vabsb H orn by Road. Fort. Bombay t»nd Printed lit T c t f Printing 31. Tribhovan Road. Bombay 4, PREFACE No pleasure could be greater than the one I experience in presenting this volume to the public, in as much as I was given the unique privilege of expounding the Great Mystery of Life beyond Death as unfolded by the spirit o f the famous spiritualist, the late Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I wish to state with all the clearness and sincerity at my command that no single idea expressed in this book is mine and that no single sentence as recorded is mine either. Beyond touching up some loose expressions here and there, the book is presented as spelt out letter by letter on the Ouija Board by the late Sir Arthur through my son Mr. Ashok H. Kaji and my nephew Mr. Subodh B. Kaji. I may as well confess that I have not read hitherto any book on spiritualism, nor have I read any religious, philosophical or metaphysical books of the Hindus or any other nation for the matter of that. M y son is a B. Sc. o f the Bombay University and my nephew is an M. Com. of the same University, and neither of them has devoted any thought whatsoever to the problems of the spirit-world, and the life beyond death, for as they have repeatedly declared, it is enough if they concentrated on THE GREAT MYSTERY OF LIFE BEYOND DEATH the problems o f the life before them in this world of the living instead of dabbling in those of the life in the world of the dead, which might well have an interest for people in the evening of life.

    View of Authorship and authenticity in Sherlock Holmes pastiches | Tr... http://journal.transformativeworks.org/index.php/twc/article/view/834/772 Theory Authorship and authenticity in Sherlock Holmes pastiches Sanna Nyqvist University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland [0.1] Abstract—Rewritings and adaptations of the Sherlock Holmes stories are traditionally called pastiches among fandom. This article juxtaposes that established use with the literary critical notion of pastiche as imitation of style, and shows how stylistic affinity to the originals produces complex effects in the imitations. The article identifies two main strands in the pastiches: one that aims to correct the mistakes and fill in the gaps in the original stories, and one that supplements the canon with stories Watson left untold. Balancing among homage, criticism, and usurpation, the pastiches comment on the original story world and its cultural context, and engage in fictions of authorship to account for the apparent inauthenticity of the retellings.

Introduction [1.1] The original 56 short stories and four novels about Sherlock Holmes, written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle between 1887 and 1917, hold a special position in literary history as one of the inaugural and certainly one of the most influential text corpora of detective fiction.

  • Mediums, Spirits, and Spooks in the Rocky Mountains: a Brief History of Spiritualism in Colorado 1860-1950
    Mediums, Spirits, and Spooks in the Rocky Mountains: A Brief History of Spiritualism in Colorado 1860-1950. “Scarcely another cultural phenomenon affected as many people or stimulated as much interest as did Spiritualism in the ten years before the Civil War and, for that matter, throughout the subsequent decades of the nineteenth century…. ‘in 1856, it seemed more likely that Spiritualism would become the religion of America than in 156 that Christianity would become the religion of the Roman Empire, or in 756 that Mohammedanism would be that of the Arabian population.’”1 Introduction During the second half of the nineteenth-century, the country was swept off of its feet by spiritualistic phenomena. Broadly defined, Spiritualism is the belief that the dead survive as spirits and can communicate with the living through the use of mediums or people with a special otherworldly perceptiveness or sensitivity that enables them to detect the presence of and communicate with spirits. Although documented happenings of otherworldly communication and paranormal phenomena have occurred around the world since the beginnings of written history, it was not until the year 1848, with the emergence of organized Spiritualism in the United States, that communication between the living and dead necessitated the assistance of a medium.2 The development of this Modern Spiritualism (the version that requires a medium) began in 1848 with the Fox sisters in Hydesville, New York. After the “Hydesville episode” of 1848, Spiritualism rapidly spread throughout the rest of the United States, starting a very popular trend that appealed to politicians of great import, quintessential authors, the elite of society, and the under classes alike.

  • Douglas Kerr Sherlock Holmes, That Confirmed Bachelor Famously Immune To
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by HKU Scholars Hub 1 “Holmes into Challenger: The Dark Investigator” Douglas Kerr Sherlock Holmes, that confirmed bachelor famously immune to Cupid’s darts, has had many children. Polyphiloprogenerative, he must be suspected of fathering a good proportion of the population of modern crime fiction, as well as hundreds of instantiations of himself in many narrative, dramatic, and pictorial forms. And we can suppose that Holmeses yet unborn are already queuing up in some hyperfictional waiting room, like the apparitions of Banquo’s heirs vouchsafed by the witches to Macbeth. My subject in this essay is one of the earliest adaptors of Sherlock Holmes: Arthur Conan Doyle himself. Apart from Holmes and Dr Watson, Conan Doyle’s next best-known serial character is Professor George Edward Challenger, explorer of the Lost World and hero of four other tales. I intend here to explore the kinship between the two, and some of the ways that Challenger is both a continuation and a criticism of what was embodied in Holmes. To give away the plot in a way Conan Doyle would never have done, this essay will examine these two figures in their role as knowledge-men, researchers and discoverers, and I will argue that in them, and the popular fictional genres that contain them, we can find Conan Doyle’s complex and serious response to the Victorian knowledge revolution. There are many ways we might account for the popularity, productivity and fascination of Sherlock Holmes.

  • Florence Cook
    Florence Cook Florence Eliza Cook (ca 1856 – 22 April 1904) was a medium who claimed to materialise a spirit, "Katie King". The question of whether the spirit was real or a fraud was a notable public controversy of the mid-1870s. Her abilities were endorsed by Sir William Crookes but many observers were skeptical of Crookes's investigations, both at the time and subsequently. Contents Biography Notes References External links Katie King, Florence Cook and Sir Biography William Crookes Cook was a teenage girl who started to claim mediumistic abilities in 1870 and in 1871–2 she developed her abilities under the established mediums Frank Herne and Charles Williams. Herne was associated with the spirit "John King", and Florence became associated with "Katie King", stated to be John King's daughter. Herne was exposed as a fraud in 1875.[1] Katie King developed from appearing as a disembodied face to a fully physical materialisation.[2] The spirit was said to have appeared first between 1871 and 1874 in séances conducted by Florence Cook in London, and later in 1874–1875 in New York in séances held by the mediums Jennie Holmes and her husband Nelson Holmes. Katie King was believed by Spiritualists to be the daughter of John King, a spirit control of the 1850s through the 1870s that appeared in many séances involving materialised spirits. A spirit control is a powerful and communicative spirit that organises the appearance of other spirits at a séance. John King claimed to be the spirit of Henry Morgan, the buccaneer (Doyle 1926: volume 1, 241, 277).

  • The Return of the Victorian Occult in Contemporary Fiction
    The Return of the Victorian Occult 1 in Contemporary Fiction Rosario Arias The 1990s have witnessed the flourishing of a language suffused with ghosts, revenants and spectral forms. In fact, Roger Luck- hurst2 suggests that the relevance of spectrality in a wide variety of literary contexts involves, what he calls, a “spectral turn”.3 In this paper I undertake the examination of this idea of spectrality or haunting as the persistent presence of the Victorian occult, and, more specifically, spiritualism, in contemporary narratives like A. S. Byatt’s “The Conjugial Angel” (1992)4, Sarah Waters’s Affinity (1999)5 and Julian Barnes’s Arthur and George (2005),6 among others. While the neo-Victorian novel has recently become the subject of many critical studies, a literary type of the neo-Victorian novel that revisits the Victorian past through its involvement with the occult has received relatively little exploration. Accordingly, the return of the Victorian occult in twentieth- and twenty-first century fiction will be analysed against the backdrop of notions of spectrality, haunting and ghostly returns, which are now being privileged in critical and literary discourses, as well as in the light of recent scholarship about the Victorian occult. Lastly, I would like to demonstrate that the spectral visitation of the Victorian occult in 1 The research carried out for the writing of this article has been financed by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology: BFF2003-05143 / FEDER.

  • A STUDY in MORALITY: SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE's SHERLOCK HOLMES a Thesis Presented to the Faculty of San Diego St
    A STUDY IN MORALITY: SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE'S SHERLOCK HOLMES _______________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of San Diego State University _______________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in English _______________ by Tishna M. Asim Spring 2016 iii Copyright © 2016 by Tishna M. Asim All Rights Reserved iv DEDICATION This work is dedicated to Dr. Quentin Bailey—the Holmes to my Lestrade. Thank you. v ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS A Study in Morality: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes by Tishna M. Asim Master of Arts in English San Diego State University, 2016 Sherlock Holmes inhabits a rarefied position in the global cultural landscape. There are hundreds of fictional detectives, yet he is considered the best and most enduring of his brethren. He is considered the archetype of genius detective, and his allure spans borders and generations, even today, one hundred and thirty years after his inception by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. He has attained mythical status, both in popular-cultural and academic circles, from his instantly-recognizable profile, complete with deerstalker cap and magnifying lens, to his legendary address at 221B Baker Street in London. Yet the Holmes of myth represents a misreading of Doyle’s original sixty stories. Instead of the cold, unemotional, misogynistic automaton that seems cemented in public imagination, the textual Sherlock Holmes is much warmer, more spiritual, and more humane than his myth suggests. This thesis will demonstrate the humanity of Holmes as he exists in the original works, tracing his professional relationships, his views on justice, and his attitudes toward women, to establish a true reading of the famous sleuth.
