by Cora L. V. (Cora Linn Victoria) Richmond
About the author
Born in 1840, Cora L. V. Richmond was widely known during her lifetime as a Spiritualist lecturer, medium, and author. She also appeared under other married names in contemporary sources, including Cora L. V. Scott and Cora L. V. Tappan. Accounts from reference works and library records describe her as one of the best-known public voices in the American Spiritualist movement of the later 19th century.
Alongside her speaking career, she published a substantial body of work on spiritual and philosophical themes. Catalogs from major libraries and archives list titles such as The Soul: Its Nature, Relations, and Expressions in Human Embodiments, Psychosophy, and My Experiences While Out of My Body and My Return After Many Days. Her writing blends religious reflection, metaphysical speculation, and the distinctive language of Spiritualism.
Richmond died in 1923, but her books and lectures remain part of the historical record of American occult and Spiritualist thought. For listeners interested in the religious movements, visionary ideas, and alternative philosophies of the 19th and early 20th centuries, her work offers a vivid window into that world.
