Kiki's thoughts on #spiritualism are complicated.
She doesn't believe in a deity or any specific 'magical' force or anything.
But Kiki knows we are all part of the same 'thing', and we can only benefit by respecting the world around us; the people, the land, the life.

I – The Knock
Three knocks.
Not two. Not four.
Three.
You wake in the dark and lie perfectly still, listening. Perhaps it came from the front door. Perhaps the window. Perhaps the wall beside your bed.
Then it comes again.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
By the time you reach the door, there is nobody there.
People have been telling stories about mysterious knocks for centuries. They have announced deaths, warned of disaster, accompanied hauntings and, occasionally, simply happened in houses where nobody could explain who – or what – was doing the knocking.
Welcome to October.
Your first card is The Knock
There are superstitions invented for horror films, superstitions polished beyond recognition by the internet, and superstitions that turn out to have surprisingly deep roots. The three knocks belong firmly in the last category.
In 1787, Francis Grose published A Provincial Glossary, with a Collection of Local Proverbs, and Popular Superstitions. Tucked among the omens of death is something wonderfully familiar: three loud and distinct knocks, heard at the bedhead of a sick person, or at the bedhead or door of one of their relatives. They were understood as a warning that death was coming. So if you have ever been told that three unexplained knocks mean somebody is going to die, you’re dealing with a superstition that was already sufficiently established to be written down in eighteenth-century England.
And it survived.
By the nineteenth century, the mysterious knock had developed into something rather more interesting than a simple warning. In Primitive Culture, published in 1871, anthropologist Edward Burnett Tylor discussed beliefs surrounding mysterious noises associated with death. Sometimes the sound came before somebody died. Sometimes it occurred at approximately the moment of death. In the latter version, the knock wasn’t warning you.
It was telling you.
Somebody far away had died and, somehow, the news had reached the house before any messenger could. That matters because it transforms the phenomenon from an omen into a communication. Something knocked and apparently, it knew something you didn’t.
The belief wasn’t confined to books written by Victorian scholars either. In 1908, Lincolnshire folklorist Mabel Peacock published a short paper with the gloriously unambiguous title “Death-Knock in the Wapentake of Corringham, Lincolnshire” in Folklore. By then, the death knock had a name.
Cross the Irish Sea and the tradition becomes even richer. During the 1930s, schoolchildren across Ireland were sent out to collect folklore from parents, grandparents, neighbours and other members of their communities. The resulting Schools’ Collection, now preserved by the National Folklore Collection and available through Dúchas, is an extraordinary record of beliefs that were still circulating orally at the time. And people remembered the knocks. One account collected at Mulhuddart in County Dublin describes a knock heard at the door when somebody is dying. Someone goes to answer it.
Nobody is there.
It happens again.
And again.
Three times.
The same account records a family story involving three knocks heard first at a window and later against a wall. The following morning came the news that a man named James Caffrey had died at around the time the mysterious knocking was heard.
Another account, from County Leitrim, lists three knocks at a door or window among the signs that a death is approaching the household, alongside crying dogs, crowing hens and the ticking of the so-called death clock.
Then there is the story recorded at Bunlahy, near Granard.
A young man named Moore had apparently promised to visit the Caffrey household on a Tuesday. He died suddenly on the Monday night, but the family did not yet know. On Tuesday evening their dog began barking. Footsteps were reportedly heard outside. Then came three knocks against the window.
Moore never arrived.
News of his death did.
You can see why stories like these survived.
Before telephones, instant messages and social media, death could happen miles away while relatives remained completely unaware. There might be hours or days between somebody dying and the news reaching everyone who knew them. Anything unusual happening during that gap could acquire significance afterwards. The knock becomes memorable because of what happened next. The dozens of unexplained noises heard on nights when nobody died disappear completely from the story.
And sometimes the explanation for mysterious noises in old houses was considerably smaller than a returning spirit.
It had six legs.
The deathwatch beetle has acquired one of the most unfortunate names in the insect world. Certain species living in old timber produce an audible tapping sound, traditionally associated with quiet rooms, old houses and impending death. Which is almost unfair on the beetle. It isn’t predicting anybody’s demise. It’s looking for another beetle. But picture the circumstances in which the association developed. Someone is gravely ill. The household is subdued. People sit quietly beside a bed, perhaps through the night, listening to every change in the patient’s breathing. And from somewhere inside an old wooden beam comes:
tap.
tap.
tap.
Then the patient dies. The beetle has just acquired a reputation.
Tylor himself recognised the problem. He compared supposed supernatural death noises with beliefs surrounding the deathwatch, suggesting that ordinary sounds could acquire extraordinary significance when followed by a death. But mysterious knocking wasn’t finished evolving.
In March 1848, the Fox family of Hydesville, New York, reported strange rappings in their home. Sisters Maggie and Kate Fox appeared able to communicate with whatever was producing them. Questions could be asked. Knocks could answer. The events became enormously influential in the development of Modern Spiritualism. Now the knock wasn’t merely an omen or a message announcing a death. It could apparently hold a conversation. The Fox sisters became famous, séances spread, tables tipped, mediums flourished and the dead became remarkably talkative.
Decades later, Maggie Fox publicly demonstrated how rapping sounds could be produced through movements of the joints and claimed that the original phenomena had been fraudulent. She subsequently complicated matters by retracting that confession, and believers continued to defend the sisters.
Whatever really happened in Hydesville, the humble mysterious knock had travelled a remarkable distance.
From deathbed omen…
to supernatural telegram…
to conversation with the dead.
There are plenty of perfectly ordinary reasons for hearing unexplained knocks. Timber expands and contracts. Heating systems click. Pipes knock. Animals move inside walls. Branches strike windows. Neighbours make noises whose direction is difficult to judge. Human hearing is exceptionally good at noticing patterns, particularly when we’re frightened, tired or already expecting something unusual.
And there is another important problem with death-omen stories. We tend to record the hits, not the misses. If you hear three unexplained knocks tonight and nothing happens tomorrow, eventually you forget them. If you hear three unexplained knocks tonight and learn tomorrow morning that somebody died at roughly the same time, you may tell that story for the rest of your life. Your children may tell it too. A century later, a folklorist writes it down.
That doesn’t make the experience meaningless. It tells us something fascinating about the way folklore is made.
A noise becomes an event. An event becomes a story. A story becomes a warning.
And eventually nobody remembers the first door upon which somebody heard it.
Of course, old houses knock. Pipes contract. Timber shifts. Branches strike windows. Beetles tap inside beams. There is almost always an explanation.
Almost.
Because somewhere in the folklore record, somebody always opens the door.
And there is nobody there.
I – The Knock
The Knock is the card of warning, arrival and interruption.
Something has reached the boundary.
It may be news. It may be change. It may be something you have avoided, forgotten or refused to acknowledge. Whatever stands on the other side has not yet entered – but it has made its presence known.
The Knock does not tell you what is outside. It asks whether you intend to open the door.
Upright: warning · arrival · news · threshold · intuition · something demanding attention
In shadow: dread · anticipation · ignored warnings · fear of change · seeing meaning where none exists
The question: What have you heard that you are pretending not to hear?
Tomorrow, another card turns. 🖤

There’s something deeply satisfying about listening to ghost stories on a dark, rainy evening. The suspense, the thrill, the fear of the unknown… Regardless of whether you take them seriously or see them as a form of entertainment, ghost stories have been around for a very long time, trigerring something primordial in the human psyche.
In my latest blog post, I’m sharing with you some of my favourite podcasts on the subject of ghosts and hauntings. From whispered accounts of haunted houses to chilling explorations of folklore and paranormal investigations, these shows invite us to lean in and believe—if only for a moment—that the veil between worlds is much thinner than we might think.

Listening tips: Ghosts and hauntings
There’s something deeply satisfying about listening to ghost stories on a dark, rainy evening. The suspense, the thrill, the fear of the unknown… Regardless of whether you take them seriously or see them as a form of entertainment, ghost stories have been around for a very long time, trigerring something primordial in the human psyche.
In this post, I’ll share with you some of my favourite podcasts on the subject of ghosts and hauntings (as in real-life experiences, not the literary genre of ghost stories). From whispered accounts of haunted houses to chilling explorations of folklore and paranormal investigations, these shows invite us to lean in and believe—if only for a moment—that the veil between worlds is much thinner than we might think.
Hosted by Danny Robins, this BBC Radio 4 programme is an absolute must. While it also covers other supernatural / paranormal phenomena, such as the UFOs, ghosts feature prominently. Each episode consists of an interview with a witness to an uncanny experience, followed by comments from experts in the field – one of them on Team Believer, the other on Team Skeptic. At the moment of writing, there are close to 100 episodes available, including a recent release of Cold Case episodes, exploring famous and still unexplained mysteries from the earlier centuries.
Jim Harold’s The Paranormal Podcast is one of the longest-running shows dedicated to the supernatural, featuring interviews with leading voices on ghosts, UFOs, cryptids, and unexplained phenomena. Since 2005, Harold has built a loyal audience by blending guests, folklore, and chilling accounts into a weekly exploration of the unknown. With over 900 episodes available, you’ll have plenty of listening material!
Similar in scope and concept, Otherworld—hosted by Jack Wagner—presents detailed witness accounts, typically unfolding like a documentary-style investigation, designed to make listeners feel like they’re part of the story. Episodes last from anywhere between a couple of minutes to hour-long features, some of them serialised over several episodes.
This podcast series is rather different, in that it explores the religion of contemporary American spiritualism, from its roots in the 19th century (ever heard of the Fox sisters?) to whatever remains of the once thriving spiritual and social reform movement. The host, Jamie Loftus, guides us through this fascinating history and introduces us to a present-day community of practicing spiritualists.
And if you’re not at all familiar with the history of the spiritualist movement, Season 2 of the Unobscured podcast is a great resource. Presented by veteran podcaster Aaron Mahnke and including interviews with prominent researchers and historians, this series is a wonderful addition to his other very popular podcast, Lore.
There are many more podcasts out there on this (and related) topics, not all of them of great quality. If you have any additional tips and recommendations, do post them in the comments section below!

When Doyle killed Sherlock Holmes at the Reichenbach Falls, “20,000 people cancelled their subscriptions to the Strand”. Public pressure – & a huge fee – brought Holmes back from the dead; did this fictional immortality influence Doyle’s spiritualism?

"The Ten Largest, No. 8, Adulthood," Hilma af Klint, 1907.
Af Klint (1862-1944), Swedish painter and mystic, is finally getting her due after years of being overlooked. Now she is hailed as the first Abstract artist, a title she was often passed over because, well, she was a woman.
Driven by mystical visions where she believed she was getting communications from the next world, or being guided by heavenly beings, she recorded her visions on canvas. This is one of a series she painted depicting the four stages of life: childhood, youth, adulthood, and old age. She spent four days on this huge canvas (10 1/2 feet by 8 feet!) and in part it's meant to explore mankind's relationship with nature, as well as giving us some new words, supposedly communicated to her by her spirit guides.
Her work is fascinating to look over, and it's fascinating to think how af Klint's spiritual quest ended up with her basically inventing Abstract art.

I flagged it some weeks back. I have edited my profile to be more in line with who I am today. So this is by way of #Introduction a second time around. I think that the idea of refreshing one’s profile is an honest and necessary thing to do because nothing in our reality ever stays the same — even is we tend to deny it at times.
