The Vision of Mr. Hockley's Sensitives
Mr. F. Hockley, the author of an article which will be found in another part of this number of The Spiritualist, has made occult subjects the study of a lifetime, and he possesses perhaps the most valuable library of books and manuscripts on Magic, to be found in the world. His article upon another page describes some fantastic visions in mirrors of one of his seeresses, and as we have a difficult body of readers to address, consisting partly of persons versed in psychology and its facts, and partly of new inquirers altogether uninformed about both, it may be explained for the benefit of the latter that the publication of Emma’s visions does not necessarily imply that any Spiritualist believes either in the existence of spirits like enlarged blackbeetles who exhibit human intellect, or in spirits with long and shiny tails, however graceful and attractive those appendages may be. The details are given as actual psychological experiences recorded in good faith, without any expression of opinion on our part as to whether the visions were purely subjective, or whether they were impressed on the consciousness of the medium by the thoughts and will-power of a vividly imaginative spirit, or whether they were symbolical dreams, or what their nature may have been. The true philosophy of such phenomena will no doubt be discovered in the future. The visions of Mr. Hockley’s sensitive with a mirror, strongly resemble those without a mirror which were seen by a young member of the Fairfax family in the old witchcraft days, as set forth in a narrative drawn up by Lord Houghton from family records, and printed for private circulation.
Mrs. Tappan-Richmond, the American trance medium, is in London, and a reception was given to her by her friends last night.
Mr. Ernest Wilding has written a song entitled “Love and Life,” which has been set to music by Mr. J. F. Molloy, and published by Messrs. Chappell & Co.
The Home Secretary in reply to a petition for the release of Mr. Rev. O. Matthews, forwarded from Newcastle, does not consider that there is sufficient ground to justify him in advising Her Majesty to comply with the prayer of the petition.
