1864 Friends Mediums Mediumship Released Satirical Spirits Stocks Paranormal
EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical and historical print from 1864 depicts a scene where mediums are put in the stocks until they are released by their friends, the spirits. The concept of mediumship and communication with spirits was a popular fascination during this time period, with many people believing in the ability to connect with those who had passed on.
In this image, we see mediums being restrained in wooden stocks, symbolizing their supposed connection to the spiritual realm. The idea that these individuals needed to be "released" by their spirit friends adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the scene.
The artist behind this print captures both the seriousness and absurdity of mediumship practices, offering viewers a glimpse into the beliefs and views surrounding paranormal activities in the 19th century. Through humor and satire, they challenge conventional ideas about spirituality and challenge viewers to question what is real and what is simply superstition.
Overall, this print serves as a fascinating window into history, showcasing how society's perceptions of mediums and spirits have evolved over time. It invites us to consider our own beliefs about the supernatural world while also providing entertainment through its clever depiction of mediums in stocks awaiting release by their spectral companions.
