Atmospheric conditions

Atmospheric changes play a great and important part in all mediumistie conditions. The dryer the atmosphere, the better the phenomena, as a rule. On damp, rainy days, little can be obtained. During a thunder storm, startling phenomena occasionally take place. High, rarefied air is better than that of lower levels, and for that reason a house on the side or even the top of a high mountain should be selected, if possible, in which to hold stances. Failing this, select a house which has as
high an altitude as possible.

One member of the circle must, by universal consent, undertake to conduct the proceedings ; to converse with the “spirits” when they appear; to arrange the sitters in their proper places, to adjust the amount of light required, etc. His word must be followed at once, and without question; otherwise the necessary “harmony” will be destroyed, and the circle will fail to obtain as
good results.

Excitement in all its forms should be avoided. If one of the circle develop mediumistic power, he should be placed next to a more fully developed medium, unless instructions are received not to do so. In this way the power is concentrated and focussed at one point.

Value of flowers

It is advisable to have flowers in the seance room, whenever possible, as their presence is said to attract spirits in a peculiar manner. The “spirits” say that they see these flowers as “lights.” Plenty of fresh air should be allowed to enter the seance room. If any member of the circle be ill, he or she should not be permitted to sit in the circle until well again.

A developing circle should meet in the same room, since this room tends to become ‘ ‘ mediumized, ‘ ‘ or soaked
with magnetic influences, given off by the sitters. The chairs on which the members of the circle sit should be wood or cane-bottomed ; the use of upholstered chairs is generally inadvisable. The table round which the members of the circle sit should be free from metal. The chair on which the medium sits must be cane or wood, and, as already said, free from all cushions or upholstery.

Formation of the circle

The proper formation of the circle is of the utmost importance, and upon it depends the excellence of the phenomena, and whether or not helpful personalities are drawn into your “aura” and environment. The best results may be obtained by closely obeying the following rules :

From six to ten persons usually constitute a circle.

They should range on an average from twenty to fifty years of age. Of these, half should be gentlemen and half ladies. They should sit alternately round a table, or round the room, in case one of the party enters the cabinet. It is desirable to join hands, in order to form a “battery,” so-called, and the feet should be
kept flat on the floor. The circle should not last more than two hours, and not less than half an hour. An invocation or short earnest prayer should begin the proceedings, followed by slow and quiet music, which may or may not be accompanied by singing, according to the expressed wish of the “controls” or the experience of those forming the circle. The light should be subdued, but absolute darkness should not be permitted, unless
strict instructions are given to that effect. Avoid dark stances, if possible, at all times!
