I conducted a rudimentary seance last night at a rural cemetery.I tried to speak with whatever was inhabiting the coffin beneath a rather nice marble headstone. The headstone came up to my chest and was topped by a pyramid. On the westward face of the headstone was engraved the Mason's square and compass. I performed the seance by automatic writing. Below is a transcription of the substance of our "conversation">quotes denote the words that I believe came from the spiritThere's something familiar in this one, neo-classical architecture if I do recall>Are you wise amongst the learned men of your years?Are there any eternal truths left to guide our race? Is there anything worth learning in this god-forsaken place?>I've been weary of men with your secret symbols and rituals debased. I lived how I pleased, I grabbed ahold of anything I thought to tasteAs a lifeline, or as a babe reaching for a bosom?>As a pirate jolly saunters when the trade wins blow from the capeReturneth ye from war or depart for here from some far-off place?>I went where I was thrown to, by choice, by coin, or by fateBy what star did you plot your path, whose line did you follow at the gates?I lost the connection here, I'd like to go back and repeat the process. Anything /x/ recommends to create a stronger, more stable connection for a repeat seance?
