My Grandad – a Spiritualist Healer – Granddad’s Teachings
My granddad was a spiritualist healer. There is a book written about him.
I last saw him when I was fourteen years old. I never really paid him too much attention. He used to supposedly go into a trance and talk to me in a funny voice – supposedly spirits from the spirit work – White Eagle a Native American Chief, Chan – a Chinese healer and Sparrow who was a chirpy cockney. I just thought it was weird.
I can remember White Eagle telling me that time was different in the spirit world. A year in our world was like a day in his.
Anyway, I just thought it was nuts (and still do) but I sure would like to go back and talk to him now. He supposedly wrote a number of books that were supposed to have been Edgar Wallace dictating them to him. He recited them and they were written down in short-hand and then typed up.
Unfortunately all his books and writings were burnt after his death. I would certainly like to have seen them now.
My Grandfather was an uneducated Navy Cook and Water Board meter reader. Then he became a full-time spiritualist healer.
I said a while ago that I had just one set of his teachings that had survived but I couldn’t find it.
I have since discovered it and will type up the 16 pages of it and present it here for you to read.
How interesting, Opher!
Yes it was fascinating. It is quite amazing to have the snippets of his life.
Who burnt his writings? That is sad. The older we get the more we wish we could have those conversations with our grandparents. Yours with your grandfather would be fascinating.
My mother did Jennie. I think it was grief.
Yes – I think I’d be able to engage more now. I was too young.
These thing always seem to happen when we’re too young to understand or engage in questions.
Yes – I was definitely too young.
