The spiritualist phenomenon originated in France in the mid-19th century.Since always the human being has tried to communicate in some way with the deceased, either to make sure that there is a "beyond", consult future events or simply resolve issues that were pending in life.In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries many techniques became fashionable to establish that long-awaited contact.In the shadow of that spiritual need, a large number of charlatans and tricksters who lived at the expense of among the methods of communication used by the supposed mediums was the enigmatic phenomenon of the talking tables.
The enigmatic phenomenon of the talking tables
The movement they suffered was called telekinesia objects when this was caused by spirits, ghosts or other supernatural forces.In an attempt to maintain intelligible contact with the spirit world, the phenomenon of the m those speakers or turntables.The advantage of this system is that any group could try, without necessarily presenting any medium.
I used to start with a group of people who gathered around a table.They laid their hands on it and they were concentrating or performing some kind of recitation of formulas addressed to those supposed beings they wanted to talk to.After a while, the table began to move, strange noises were heard and sometimes even lights were seen.the movements of the table were such that those gathered could not contain it.When the talking table began the dance it was time to establish with it (or with the beings that stirred it) a code to be able to converse.This used to be limited to a few words that they were reflected in blows.Apparently the sessions were very lively and colorful The table could get to levitate, strange air currents felt and sometimes other objects in the session room also moved.
Hippolyte Leon Denizard Rivail, known as Allan Kardec, was a French doctor and educator who was interested for the phenomena related to spiritualism and especially with communication through objects such as talking tables.For him, once the frauds were ruled out, there were a number of cases that were inexplicable and he thought that they could only be due to mental force of those gathered or the true presence of spirits.He did a lot of tests on mediums who documented and wrote several books on the subject, coming to the conviction that communication with the other world was possible.He is considered one of the parents of spiritualism.to the talking tables, in one of your books warns you that the spirits are around any table, whether we are trying to talk to them or not.So we do not have to be surprised if sitting in a group around a table we begin to feel unexpected movements.
Needless to say all kinds of tricks to get the tables to "talk", some of them so sophisticated that it is not yet known how they got it.If you were interested in this article, you might want to read the case of Helen Duncan, the witch arrested before D.
