about dmoz | help

Contemporary phenomena and links related to individual mediums should be submitted to the appropriate subcategory of /Society/Religion_and_Spirituality/Spiritualism.

Spiritualism in its modern incarnation started in the mid nineteenth century in the USA and essentially grew out of Christianity. It is still perceived as largely Christian in its broadest sense (although no-one, least of all Spiritualists, would begin to claim that its beliefs were orthodox), but there are people from other traditions who happily take the title "Spiritualist" whose background is anything but Christian. It involves contact with the spirits of the dead, through a medium.
