During Victor Hugoâs exile on the Isle of Jersey, where he and his family and friends escaped the reign of NapolĂŠon III, he conducted âtable-tappingâ sĂŠances, transcribing hundreds of channeled conversations with entities from the beyond. Among his discarnate visitors were Shakespeare, Plato, Hannibal, Rousseau, Galileo, Sir Walter Scott, and Jesus. According to the transcripts, Jesus, during his three visits, condemns Druidism, faults Christianity, and suggests a new religion with Hugo as its prophet.
To the skeptic, some of the âconversationsâ may seem self-serving--at best, the subconscious wishes of the naĂŻve participants. But author John Chambers places Hugoâs experiments firmly in the tradition of visionary literature and psychic exploration, aligning those experiences with the poetry of William Blake, the table-tapping experiences of the Fox sisters, and the channeled writings of the great modern-day Pulitzer Prize-winning poet James Merrill, whose spiritsâ utterances uncannily resemble those of Hugoâs. Hugoâs transcriptions are the missing link between the early nineteenth centuryâs fascination with the kabbalistic Zohar, reincarnation, and the writings of the Illuminati and the rise of spiritualism and the societies for the study of psychic phenomena in the latter nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
