Public Readings

Every medium who serves publically should aspire to the level of the late British medium Estelle Roberts shown here before a packed crowd at the Royal Albert Hall. She was renowned for her commanding demeanor and stunningly accurate public demonstrations before thousands of people. She even demonstrated in the inner chambers of the House of Commons (the British Parliamentary chamber) in an effort to legitimize the religion of Spiritualism!
Today, some of what is called ‘public demonstrations of mediumship’ is sadly very different than what was done by the great mediums of the past. My demonstrations are firmly rooted in the examples of the great mediums of the past and are known to be spiritual, yet highly evidential, with a natural humor and often an entranced presence. During these demonstrations, I endeavor to integrate the essence of the spirit communicator into a sacred communion with the recipient. These demonstrations are an uplifting experience for everyone in attendance. Due to the Divine nature of these spirit communions, public demonstrations of mediumship cannot and should not be viewed as entertainment, a performance, or a show [see the paper I coauthored with medium and academic Andy Byng titled “Platform Mediumship: Acts of Sacred Communion or Mere Performances?” They are a sacred and inherent part of the religion of Spiritualism.
A public demonstration of mediumship I really like can be viewed here.
Another demonstration of mediumship I really like can also be viewed here.
A demonstration of mediumship was given before a capacity crowd at Royal Albert Hall in London on March 31st, 1948, on the 100th anniversary of the rapping manifestation at the Fox cottage which heralded the advent of Modern Spiritualism.
Below is part of this demonstration given by the medium Helen Hughes on that evening:
To a person in the hall, Mrs. Hughes described an old gentleman and with him, Jimmy Brown. “I’ve got to tell you,’ said Mrs. Hughes, “that he has found out all about George who, when in the body, was a bit of a mystery. He was at your home on Sunday and heard all the good things you were saying about him, (Yes, replied the person in the audience) but he says he was not as good as all that. He wouldn’t change places with any of you. I get the name Alma.’’ (That is my name). ‘‘Do you know Doris?’’ (My sister) ‘‘Have you been laying down the law to Arnold?” (Yes) “He says you had a dickens of a time, but don’t be so dogmatic; Arnold will come to it eventually. Have you been trying to convince him?”(Yes, rather) ‘‘Arnold will come to an understanding shortly, take your time.’’
Below is part of the demonstration given by medium Estelle Roberts on that evening:
“I want someone named Mrs. Andrew,” said Mrs. Roberts facing the body of the hall. A lady responded. “Your husband is here, and is calling you Mary.” (Yes, that’s my name.) ‘‘He on the platform and I have never seen anyone so excited before. Has he recently, passed over, about four or five months ago?” (Yes, only six weeks) “He has met John - known as Jack.” (Yes.) “He says that the pain that he endured in the physical body has all gone, he can now walk about everywhere. ‘Give my love to the boys’, he calls. He will be with you on the anniversary in June.” (Yes.) “As soon as it is possible he will help to adjust your physical condition especially your arms, legs, and feet.” (That’s true) “I do not know you, do I?” (No.)

Maxine offers two types of public readings:
- Evidential Mediumship Gallery Readings
- In a public demonstration of mediumship, Maxine brings through the personality of the person in Spirit as well as detailed evidence and shared memories. With humor, hope, and love, she will show that the person in Spirit has knowledge of life here and now. Very often it is a moving experience of reunion and communion.
- Group Reading Evening
- In an evening of group readings, Maxine offers short but uplifting and enlightening readings after a brief talk about psychic versus mediumistic readings. This can be arranged in a home or restaurant setting.
For Public Readings, please call 617 870 8472 or email maxine.meilleur@post.harvard.edu.
