The Book of Séances

From an award-winning artist, a beautifully mysterious guide to conducting seances and communing with the spirits in our conscious and unconscious lives.

As long as people have lived, they have yearned for wisdom and comfort from those who have passed away. In The Book of Séances, artist, author, and witch Claire Goodchild takes readers on a journey through the historical landscape of spiritualism, guiding seekers through safe practices for cultivating a connection with the other side.
 
The Book of Séances details the four types of spiritual encounters, teaches us how to protect ourselves, and breaks down the various tools — from spirit boards and tarot cards to dominoes and charms — that are essential for opening a bridge to the afterlife. Whether conducting solitary or group séances, this book offers a way to safely glimpse beyond the veil.

Through her evocative writing and singular art, Claire provides a comprehensive history of the séance, alongside an immersive guide to accessing and communing with the spirit world. The Book of Séances provides hauntingly lovely signposts into our own personal mythology as revealed through our conscious and unconscious lives.
