Students will learn the primary principles of Automatic Writing and Drawing, Lucid Dreaming, Trance Mediumship, Channeling and Psychometry. Protection and cleansing will also be covered, along with a look at different types of Spirits and how these have been defined, conjured, (or exorcised), through the centuries.
