Arcana of Spiritualism: A Manual of Spiritual Science and Philosophy

by Hudson Tuttle

About this book

Hudson Tuttle sets out a systematic account of Spiritualism, combining reflections on his own mediumistic experiences with an explanation of spiritual science and philosophy. The preface describes the development of his psychic sensitivity and the role he assigns to communication in his writing.

The manual considers the relationship between the physical and spiritual worlds, the nature of consciousness, evidence for continued existence and the implications of those ideas for human conduct. Arguments and reported experiences form parts of a broader account of life and its possible continuation.

This complete 1904 edition preserves Tuttle’s original organization, the introductory portrait and the closing discussion. It is a historical presentation of his Spiritualist system.
