ABSTRACT
The nature of the movement in South Wales can be readily conveyed by describing a number of church services. These services were attended at the beginning of my period of field-work. They therefore convey my impressions of spiritualist activities in a form which is relatively uninfluenced by theoretical assumptions. The accounts of church services are followed by a description of three leading local mediums. Before the descriptions of services and mediums, however, an outline of the two churches needs to be sketched.
