History of the Rainbow Circle with photos.

THE RAINBOW CIRCLE HARROGATE


My name is Terry Nelson, and along with my wife Kathryn, have been developing Physical Mediumship in our home circle 'The Rainbow Circle' for sixteen years.  Our Guide and Gatekeeper in the World of Spirit 'Chief Red Cloud' has been with us from the very beginning.  He, along with Kath's Father (in Spirit) 'Dick' who has also been with us from day one, have guarded and guided us through the years as we developed this gift from the Spirit World.
We are an 'Energy' circle (non-ectoplasm), and use a table in our circle for communication with Red Cloud and the Spirit team.  In the early days this was very slow with mostly simple yes/no answers from Spirit through the table as it tilted.  As the years passed, we, along with Spirit, turned this into a very fast and efficient form of communication using the alphabet system, so fast in fact, that I sometimes have trouble keeping up with Spirit as they talk through the table.
On day one we just had the table.  After several years we were allowed our first trumpet which just sat there for another couple of years before Spirit levitated it above our heads. Today, after many years of working with our Spirit team, we have varying forms of phenomena occurring in each sitting, from trumpet phenomena to part-materialization of Spirit hands etc.
We have also had several instances of Direct Voice through our extra large trumpets (megaphones as Dick calls them) in the last few weeks, and this is getting stronger as the weeks pass.  Spirit also allow us to film in red light at various times throughout our seances as phenomena occurs - this is mainly the levitation of the table, but Spirit inform us that it is their intention to fully materialize in the red light at a future date.

Although we were initially a 'Table Tilting' circle in the beginning, Spirit now communicate using various methods.  We are in the very early stages of Direct Voice, but have for a long time had black card and luminous chalk in the seance room that Spirit will write messages on, and just recently, at Spirit's request, we introduced A4 white paper and a pencil with luminous tab on its stem for Spirit to communicate with, and this method is becoming quite popular with our Spirit friends.

We have, in the past, done public demonstrations of our circles progress in association with Zerdin Phenomenal run by Dennis and Rosalind Pearman.
It was very exciting taking our circle out into the public arena, but this was cut short due to illness, but we are now in a position where we are able to demonstrate publicly again along with our home demonstrations.

Below are some of the many photographs taken during our sittings with a normal flash camera as phenomena occurred.

 Public demonstration at Harrogate Spiritualist Church on 11th December 2013.

Spirit bring in spare table and place it upside-down on top of circle table.  They then tilt
both tables to about ninety degrees - both tables being held firmly together by Spirit energy
without the one slipping away from the other.  Photograph taken with normal flash
camera whilst phenomena occurred.

Public demonstration at Harrogate Spiritualist Church on 11th December 2013.

The white Xmas tree with a bell on the top was seated on a table outside of the circle.
We heard the bell ringing within the circle and thought that Spirit had taken it from the tree
and placed it on circle table.  We asked if we could put the red light torch on to look and
when the torch went on, we found the tree on the table also - put there by Spirit.
