365 Tarot Spreads: Revealing the Magic in Each Day - Sasha Graham 2014

Mesmerizing Spread

On This Day

Mesmer was discredited when a royal commission investigated his findings and concluded he was a charlatan. Regardless, his legacy persists, and his efforts aided the development of modern hypnosis.

Franz Anton Mesmer was born this day in 1734. Using a theory called animal magnetism, he cured a wide variety of diseases. Animal magnetism was based on the idea that everything in the universe is interconnected. He postulated that when our energy, or “universal fluid,” is blocked, we become sick. His name is the root of the English verb “mesmerize.”
