Automatic writing
Automatic writing lets words flow with little conscious planning and appears in both Spiritualist practices and artistic experimentation.
How to approach it
A reading begins by recognising a sign and relating it to a question. Describe the observation first, then explore its associations: the image opens a reflection rather than imposing a conclusion.
An important distinction
Spiritualist interpretations attribute messages to entities; artistic automatism explores creation. Spontaneous writing does not establish an outside source.
An example to explore
Write for two minutes without correcting, then choose a phrase to develop as your own text.
Taking the idea further
To explore further, compare the related concepts and note differences in material, procedure and interpretation. If you open a related tool, read its own rules; sharing a symbol does not mean carrying out the same practice.
