Salem Witchcraft, the Planchette Mystery, and Modern Spiritualism
This podcast reprints a historical review that examines the Salem witch trials, the planchette mystery, and the rise of modern spiritualism. It contrasts the superstition and persecution of the past with the progress of science and rational thought. The author argues that greater knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and natural sciences leads to religious tolerance and individual freedom. The summary by Samuel Robert Wells highlights how far society has come from the days of witch hunts.
