The ancient world was fascinated by the dead. We hear of ghost rituals, spells and necromancy, and spirit communication through dreams, visions, prophets and mediums. This livestream talk explores these ancient practices, with a focus on Greece and Rome.

Ancestors, heroes, and the tragically deceased loomed large in the imagination of Ancient Greeks and Romans. It was a world rich with prophecies and spirit communication, soothsayers, oracles and seers. We even find intriguing hints of such practices in early Christianity. Join us on a fascinating voyage through these ancient practices in this online talk.

This livestream talk continues the discussion started by Dr. Alinda Damsma, who covered Egypt and Mesopotamia at The College of Psychic Studies in September 2024.

Book now to enter the fascinating world of our spirited ancestors, and examine the methods by which they practiced psychic and mediumship.
