Table Tipping

During the turn of the century, many professional mediums all over the country were claiming to communicate with the spirits, ordinary people developed in interest in psychic phenomena. Most of these people had neither the means, nor the access, to professional mediums, so many of them developed "home circles". The home circles were simply small collections of family and friends who would get together and attempt to contact the spirit world. A number of the home circles began to believe that their attempts to communicate with the spirits were actually successful. Their amateur séances, they believed, were actually connecting with ghosts and the spirit world.

Table tipping in the early days of the past century was really considered little more than a parlor game. The basic technique behind it is quite simple. The group of people simply sits around a table, with each person resting his hands flat on the top surface of it. If everyone is patient enough, and prepared to do this for several sittings, they will almost always be rewarded with some sort of phenomena. When starting out, it’s likely that the sitters will be startled by rapping and knocking noises but as the experiments continue, the table will likely vibrate and will eventually begin to move. As the number of sittings increase, the group will increase in power and the phenomena will increase along with it.

This is how you would begin a table tipping session. You will need several people sitting at a table with their fingers lightly on the table. After a blessing of protection, you may see the table rock. In our session our table is very spirited. It does what we call "the dance". It will move around in a circle, dancing up and down the room. When the table begins to "dance we stand up so we can move with the table. After "the dance" we sit down. At this point we begin to ask the table questions, which are then answered by tipping. Once for yes and twice for no. Hence, the name table tipping. In this photo, you can see the table lift up off the floor.

This table spirit movement is recognized as Priscilla, she like to tilt the table within one inch of the floor. Then move back to a standing position. She will to it as many times as we ask. The table never hits the floor but hovers a few inches. This is very exciting. .
