As we Spiritualists know, truth is stranger than fiction.In this 21st century the mainstream broadcasting channel programmers still studiously avoid serious Spiritualist content, although there are plenty of social media and online inroads being made by Spiritualist organisations, groups, individuals and churches.
Back in 1996 a new editor was appointed to Psychic News who was also a trance medium who worked with a group in spirit. The group talked about the teachings of Silver Birch having been printed in the paper, and thereafter being collected into some volumes, and suggested they have some space in the same way. After settling into the job, the editor agreed to enter a trance state once a week, in the office, and receive answers to questions that would be put by the assistant editor Cathy Gibb, now Gibb de Swarte, who would also act as scribe.
Then it was the turn of the medium having eventually agreed to their plan, to ask the group a question. You will have to give a name for the group. People need a name to relate to. After some discussion, basically a lecture on names and personalities, they agreed and pronounced, Iconoclast. And on January 8th 1999 began the sessions that you can access within the pages of this book.
