Excerpt from The Witch of Endor, and Modern Spiritism: A Lecture
Since we have spoken of witches, said Lord Byron, what think you of the witch of Endor'? I have always thought this the finest and most finished witch scene that ever was written or conceived, and you will be of my opinion if you consider all the circumstances of the actors of the case, together with the gravity, simplicity, and density of the language. It beats all the ghost scenes I ever read. - Kennedy'3 Conversations with Byron.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an unconventional interpretation of the controversial scene involving Saul, the Witch of Endor, and the ghost of the prophet Samuel, as narrated in the Hebrew Bible. The author argues that modern spiritualism is rooted in ancient necromantic practices, similar to those depicted in the story of Saul. The book explores psychological and spiritual significance, encompassing themes of deception, the nature of supernatural phenomena, and the challenges of discerning truth in mysterious circumstances. The author's insights illuminate the historical and contemporary relevance of the 'Witch of Endor' narrative, contributing to our understanding of the enduring fascination with the supernatural and the boundaries between life and death. This book offers a unique perspective on both biblical scholarship and the history of spiritualism, delving into the complexities of human nature, belief, and the pursuit of knowledge.
