Seance


 
 


Also Sιance.


A gathering of people for the purpose of investigating or experiencing supernormal or psychic phenomena. In the past they were sometimes called 'circles', because participants, called 'sitters', sat around a table (or on chairs arranged in a circle) in order to link hands, in the belief that this boosted the psychic forces which encourage paranormal manifestations.

Generally seances are held in the dark and involve a medium who enters a trance-like state and contacts a 'spirit friend' or 'spirit helper'. The spirit then communicates with the gathering through the medium, either mentally, or directly using the medium's vocal chords. In the 19th century, seances were dominated by physical manifestations, such as rappings, strange smells, levitation, and materialization, most episodes of which were eventually exposed as fraudulent. Because of these fraudulent associations, the term 'seance' has fallen into disuse, and modern psychic researchers and mediums use the term 'sitting'.


A favorable environment is an indispensable condition for a sιance. Excitement or fatigue before the sitting should be avoided. The medium should not take any stimulants, instead, he or she should be very relaxed, comfortable and maintain a genial frame of mind.
