Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:based on previously inaccessible documents, the article traces the history and beliefs of 20thcentury Dutch Spiritualist medium Koenraad Hendrik Gerardus (K.H.G.) Spee and the secretive esoteric society he founded in 1945, the Nederlands Spiritueel Kerkgenootschap, “Dutch Spiritual Church-Society,” better known by its abbreviation NSK, up until its demise in 1993 and resurgence in 2013. The NSK is discussed within the larger context of Dutch Spiritualism/Spiritism. A contrast is noted between NSK’s theoretical “democratic” approach, proclaiming that each bona fide member can potentially communicatewith the spirits, and archival documents evidencing that, at least within the Amsterdam chapter, Spee served as almost the sole medium, and the content of his channeled messages was regarded as normative.
