New York Circle
New York Circle
The first experimental Spiritualist organization in the United States. It was an exclusive body in the initial stages, later broadening its membership. The principal medium was Edward P. Fowler, who had sat with Kate and Margaretta Fox. Fowler provided the location. Early members included the judge John W. Edmonds. At one sitting of the circle, the medium Henry Gordon demonstrated the feat of floating in the air, i.e., levitation, in the presence of many unimpeachable witnesses.
At the initiative of the circle, the New York Conference was established in November 1851, providing a focal point for the growing interest in Spiritualism.
