Spiritualists are individuals who believe in the ability to communicate with the spirits of the deceased. They often practice mediumship, where they act as intermediaries between the living and the spirit world. Spiritualists may hold séances or use various tools, such as tarot cards or crystal balls, to facilitate these connections. The movement gained popularity in the 19th century, particularly in the United States and Europe, with figures like Allan Kardec contributing to its philosophy. Spiritualism emphasizes personal experience and the idea that spirits can provide guidance and insight into life’s questions and challenges.
