The Religious Movement of Spiritualism

Spiritualism is a religious movement that believes in communication with spirits of the dead, often through mediums. It emerged in the 19th century, emphasizing that spirits continue to exist after death and can provide guidance or insights. Practitioners often hold séances to connect with loved ones who have passed on, viewing these interactions as evidence of an ongoing spiritual existence. Spiritualism combines elements of faith, philosophy, and personal experience, and has influenced broader beliefs about life after death, the nature of consciousness, and the possibility of spiritual communication beyond physical death.
