Nineteenth Century Miracles

Emma Hardinge Britten (1823–1899) is known for her work as an advocate for the early Modern Spiritualist Movement. Due to the publication of her speeches and writing on the spiritual movement, and an incomplete autobiography which was edited by her sister, much of Emma’s life and work is publicly recorded. She is remembered as a writer, orator, and practitioner of the movement. Her books,

Modern American Spiritualism (1870) and Nineteenth Century Miracles (1884), are extremely detailed records of the history of early modern spiritualism movement in America.

In New York Emma Hardinge offered her services as a medium, for which she refused payment, though she became acquainted with some of the well-known professional mediums of the day: along with Mrs Kellogg and Ada Foye, she knew the Fox sisters, J. B. Concklin, and Judge Edmonds. She supported herself by teaching music and directing the choir of a spiritualist church.

 The origins and concept of the Seven Principles came through Emma's mediumship. Guidance received from the Spirit World by Emma inspired her to utilize teachings given by the eminent philanthropist, Robert Owen, to provide a basis of suitable guideline/principles to follow in our daily lives. The Principles are equally important to assist us on our Spiritual pathway. The original Principles were later adapted to suit the newly formed Spiritualists’ National Union becoming the Seven Principles of Spiritualism in the format that we are familiar with today.
