Spiritism: The Origin Of All Religions

First published in the late 19th century, James P. Dameron’s Spiritism: The Origin of All Religions is a provocative and unsettling exploration of the roots of faith. Dameron argues that at the heart of every creed—ancient or modern—lies spiritism: the communion of humanity with unseen powers.

From the temples of antiquity to the revivalist séances of his own age, Dameron traces how visions, apparitions, and messages from the spirit world shaped the foundations of belief, worship, and ritual. In this bold thesis, gods, prophets, and sacred traditions are revealed not as distant abstractions, but as the echoes of direct encounters with spirits.

Part theology, part occult history, this work forces the reader to confront an unsettling possibility: that religion itself was born not of heaven, but of the restless voices of the invisible world.
