Trance Medium Mrs. Cora Richmond
Born Cora Scott on April 21, 1840 near Cuba, New York, Mrs.Cora Richmond was the daughter of David W. and Lodencia Butterfield. The startling gifts of this child medium by the age of eleven prepared the way for her globally recognized spiritual guidance. The mores of her family of origin home was entirely free from the teachings of orthodoxy meaning that Cora's early developing mind had not been biased by dogmatic theology. Because baby Cora was born with a veil, a physical attribute believed to confer special powers, she was given a name which translates to mean poetess, priestess and counselor, a woman of wisdom with powers as a SEERESS.

The 20th century fulfillments forms the theme around which our remarks will cluster this morning. "Whether there shall be prophecies," it is said, "they shall fail;" yet ultimately all prophecies come true.

Spiritual Guidance
"One cannot continue to seek for messages from the Spirit world, especially messages pertaining to spiritual unfoldment, without its wakening enlightenment from within. One cannot be in daily and hourly communication with those who are guardian spirits or ministering attendants without some unfolding of the aspirations that are within-hence there is a perceptible spiritual change in the world; human thought has grown many degrees since the advent of Modern Spiritualism."

Women's Spirituality
This site is dedicated to my Spiritual Mother, Teacher and Guide, Mrs. Cora Richmond. Cora's story is the flagship of the sufferage/mediumship synchronized explosion of the nineteenth century. When I met Mrs. Cora Richmond in August 2007 through her small book, The Soul in its Human Embodiments, my soul sang with joy. I had at last found what I had been relentlessly seeking my whole life. I recognized her immediately as the Spiritual Guide who had been with me from the beginning and would be with me until the end of the time.

Dr. Carl Wickland
Do you recognize the name Carl Gustav Jung? I'd be surprised if the majority reading this article doesn't. The Swiss born psychiatrist who purportedly formulated and developed a number of ground-breaking theories on the psyche? Dr. Jung has become quite a party favourite among so called New Age adherents, modern philosophers and esotericists.

Women's Sufferage
Over the past year and a half I've been spending much of my spare time researching 19th century spiritualism. I can't seem to get enough of it. The connections in particular between the suffrage movement, spiritualism and the emerging notions of sanity are enthralling. I've spent more than 30 years researching and writing on subjects related to the psycho-spiritual realm and women. From Yoga to Carl Jung, feminism to psychic development and literature to psychology, I've relentlessly sought answers to my restless soul's quest for the answer to how spiritual development unfolds for women uniquely differently than men.

Spiritualism Ushering in Women Emancipation
Many spiritualists today don't know that the mid-19th century spiritualist movement was the axis and engine of the feminist movement. In manner of dress, rights to speak in public forums, to own their own money, to be spiritual leaders, and to declare a woman's right to equality, the spiritualists cleared the path. Spiritualism was also instrumental in forwarding the abolutionist revolution. Black churches in Washington, D.C. welcomed the white medium Cora Richmond in their pulpits, something no white evangelical church ever did. A Methodist exhorter from Mississippi concluded that the "negro character" was "intuitive, inspirational, religious, and altogether mediumistic," implying that blacks shared with women the characteristics that made them susceptible to spirits.

"No amount of discussion will ever enable one to
be prepared who is not ready to perceive Truth. It will not
be found strange if, in a series of lessons necessarily brief
and condensed, there shall be many points that cannot, perhaps,
be solved; but as the germ is placed within the sod and time
is required for growth, so we plant these Truths as seeds
given to us from the higher states of Celestial Being, trusting
to the future for their germination, growth, and fructification
in your lives."

(1888)
