Pearl or Patience

On July 8, 1913 Pearl Curran channeled a Patience Worth from a Ouija board.



Together they wrote 6 novels and several short stories and poems.

This entry from Wikipedia piques my curiosity for today:

"Pearl Curran was probably a highly gifted child whose talent for writing was smothered by her mother, who wanted to force Pearl into a singing career. In the alter ego of Patience Worth her subconscious could revive that talent. Patience also had a sharp tongue and was highly suspicious and critical of organized religion and formal education. She also was contemptuous of the various forms of academic and religious posturing. [This is argued] that these were in fact personality traits of Pearl that she couldn't let out at that time."
