Psychomancy: Spirit-Rappings And Table-Tippings Exposed is a book written by Charles Grafton Page in 1853. The book provides an in-depth analysis and critique of the popular spiritualist practices of the time, including spirit-rappings and table-tippings. Page, a renowned American physicist and inventor, was skeptical of these practices and sought to expose them as fraudulent. He believed that they were the result of natural causes such as the ideomotor effect and the power of suggestion, rather than communication with the spirit world.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of spiritualism. Page discusses the history of spiritualism, the methods used by mediums to communicate with spirits, and the various tricks and techniques they employed to deceive their audiences. He also provides detailed descriptions of his own experiments and observations, which he conducted in order to prove his theories.Psychomancy: Spirit-Rappings And Table-Tippings Exposed is a fascinating historical document that sheds light on the spiritualist movement of the mid-19th century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of spiritualism, the psychology of belief, and the scientific investigation of paranormal phenomena.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
