As long as people have lived, they have longed for wisdom and comfort from those who have died. In The Book of Seances, artist, author, and witch Claire Goodchild takes readers on a journey through the historical landscape of spiritualism and guides questers through safe practices for cultivating a connection with the other side.

The Book of Seances details the four types of spiritual encounters, teaches us how to protect ourselves, and breaks down the different tools -- from spirit boards and tarot to dominoes and charms -- that are essential for opening a bridge to the afterlife. Whether conducting solitary or group seances, this book offers a way to safely glimpse beyond the veil.

Through her evocative writing and singular art, Claire provides a comprehensive history of the seance, alongside an immersive guide to accessing and communing with the spirit world. The Book of Seances provides hauntingly lovely signposts into our own personal mythology as revealed through our conscious and unconscious lives.
