"The American Civil War began in 1861, and people were 'dealing with so much death and warfare in unprecedented ways'..."

"... [said Mandi Shepp, 38, Lily Dale’s former library director and an archives coordinator at the State University of New York at Fredonia]. Many turned to Spiritualism to help cope with the mass sense of loss.... 'Spiritualism offers this very nice, comfortable ideology that these sons that were lost in battle aren’t really gone forever,' she said. In the 1870s, Spiritualists and Freethinkers camped out in what would become Lily Dale during the summertime.... The pursuit of mediumship was particularly appealing to women because 'it was a way for them to create independent careers for themselves and have a job at a time where it wasn’t really seen as a thing you could do,' said Ms. Shepp. Since women were already seen as 'the religious center of their household,' becoming a medium was more socially acceptable than following other career paths. Giving readings in public also allowed for women to speak independently and in front of audiences...."

 
From "This Community Welcomes Mediums, but First You Have to Prove Yourself/A lawsuit against the nonprofit that runs Lily Dale, a New York haven for Spiritualists, has put a spotlight on the hamlet where residents believe death does not exist" (NYT).

Shepp is quoted in the first paragraph of the article: "The underlying belief in Spiritualism is that we don’t really die. We pass on, but we carry on in the spirit world, which is exactly like this world, except with less restrictions."

Isn't that what most people believe?!

Anyway, the lawsuit is about needing to pass a test before you can call yourself a medium and practice your trade and give readings within the Lily Dale property, which is privately owned and which attracts a lot of visitors who may pay "hundreds of dollars for a single session." Naturally, the tourists want officially certified mediums, not a bunch of fly-by-night hucksters.

Now, I don't think anyone is a real medium, but don't you think religious groups are entitled to decide for themselves that some people are mediums and others are not and to structure the local tourist trade — on their private property — according to that belief?
