Modern Spiritualism

Modern Spiritualism is a religious movement that began in the early 19th century, primarily in the United States. It holds the belief that spirits of the deceased can communicate with the living, often through mediums. Spiritualists seek to demonstrate the continuity of life after death and emphasize personal experiences with the spirit world. Central practices include séances, which are gatherings where communication is sought, and messages from spirits often provide comfort and insight. Modern Spiritualism also promotes values like love, healing, and the development of one's own spiritual insight.
