Free Online Talk · Seeress of Prevorst: Eccentric Early 19th Century German Mystic and Healer with Erika Cleveland

Frederika Hauffe—the "Seeress of Prevorst"—was a German mystic, medium, and channeler of the early 19th century who had a great impact on thinkers, writers and healers of her time. Her story inspired many "spiritualists," including Madame Blavatsky (founder of Theosophy) and (prophet and clairvoyant Andrew Jackson Davis. Pioneering psychologist Carl Jung wrote about Hauffe in a series of lectures, and even used her as inspiration for some of his writings. In this lecture, Cleveland will discuss Hauffe's unusual healing abilities and self-invented systems of communication, including channeled automatic drawings and writings. She will also share her own artistic explorations, relating to Hauffe, part of a series of artistic reflections about Cleveland’s own line of German female ancestors, of which Hauffe is a distant part.
