Talking With The Dead: An Introduction to Spirit Communication

by Raymond Buckland

An introduction on how to communicate with deceased loved ones; methods that can be used by the ordinary person without special training. Although the history of Spiritualism revealed many frauds in its early days, there are today countless excellent mediums who can and have produced evidence showing the validity of contact. A number of mediums have appeared on television in weekly series, demonstrating immediate contact with the dead. John Edward, Lisa Williams, John Holland, James Van Praagh, Theresa Caputo, and others have shown millions of viewers that there is a continuation of life after that transition that we term "death". And it is not necessary to go to a professional medium or to take long and expensive training courses to make this contact. We all have the ability within us. Anyone who truly wishes to do so, can make contact with those no longer on this physical plane. This book shows exactly how to do it, and to do it safely. There is no fear of "possession" or of attracting undesirables. You can experience clairvoyance, psychometry, automatic writing, table tipping, spirit boards, and more.

About the author

Raymond Buckland was a highly influential figure in the development of modern Wicca and the occult in the United States. Born in London, he became interested in the supernatural at an early age and was initiated into the Gardnerian Wiccan tradition in 1963 by Monique Wilson, a high priestess appointed by Gerald Gardner. After emigrating to the U.S. in 1962, Buckland introduced Gardnerian Wicca to the country, founding its first coven in New York in 1964. He later developed his own tradition, Seax-Wica, inspired by Anglo-Saxon paganism, and published The Tree: Complete Book of Saxon Witchcraft to make it accessible to all.
In 1968, he established the first Museum of Witchcraft and Magick in the U.S., which helped normalize and educate the public about Wicca. Over the course of his career, Buckland wrote more than sixty books on Wicca, divination, and the occult, including Witchcraft from the Inside and Buckland’s Complete Book of Witchcraft, both regarded as essential texts in Neopaganism.
Throughout his life, Buckland remained a prolific teacher, writer, and practitioner. He continued to write and teach until his death in 2017, leaving behind a lasting legacy that shaped the spiritual practices of countless Wiccans and Pagans worldwide.
