Allan Kardec - Le livre des médiums ou guide des médiums et des évocateurs - 1889

Superb edition of one of the fundamental texts of spiritism, designed as a practical supplement to the Livre des Esprits.

In this work, Kardec systematically outlines the principles, techniques, and precautions necessary for practicing communication with spirits.

It distinguishes between different types of mediumship (mechanical, intuitive, speaking, clairvoyant, auditory, etc.), describing their manifestations and the conditions for their practice.

The work aims to be both a manual and a critical treatise: it warns against illusions, frauds, and dangers associated with reckless practice, while also proposing a rational codification intended to give spiritism scientific and moral legitimacy.

This book embodies the spirit of spiritualist positivism: it seeks to unite empirical observation, experimental method, and belief in the immortality of the soul.
