Swan on a Black Sea is Geraldine Cummins final book which was first
published in 1965. The book is an account - an afterlife
communication, from the British suffragette and philanthropist,
Winifred Margaret Coombe Tennant who passed away in 1956 and first
communicated with Cummins in 1957. Coombe Tennant communicated
through Cummins using automatic writing; the object being to let
her sons know she was still very much alive in the spirit world.
The communications are made up of 40 scripts which were
communicated between 1957-1960 Throughout her life Coombe Tennant
was a talented medium but due to her professional and social
standing, she choose to keep her gift a secret from all but a
handful of friends, and anonymously she practiced her mediumship
under the pseudonym, Mrs. Willet. Her sitters included Sir Oliver
Lodge, the renowned British scientist who devoted much of his life
to psychical research, and a select number of senior members of the
Society for Psychical Research. Relaying her experiences as a
travel writer might, reporting back from a distant land, she
describes her ability to travel back and forth in time. It's as if
her physical life is a film and she is able to "go into her film"
at any time or place and examine her physical life - a life review
or judgment some might conclude. On October 29, 1958 (script 32)
she addressed her skeptical son Henry who was still alive at the
time and was finding it difficult to accept that his dead mother
was communicating, 'There is a dream sweetness about my present
state or place. Yet my environment is familiar and totally real. I
live in an existence in form both in human etheric forms and
surroundings such as in outline nature and man provide. Yet I can
be of them and not of them. I am not wedded to them or welded into
them. One's mind can govern and alter conditions in a manner not
possible on earth. That is, if one exerts oneself, makes an effort.
'At present I am at home again in the long ago of Wales. You
remember my break in life through your father's death. You may
recall how I went to live in London in a flat. All that period is
not my present environment. 'I am back again in my married life. It
is different, though in appearance to my perceptions it is the same
outer world of reason, order and sensible arrangements. But it is
different, humanly speaking. I am much with Christopher, who is a
darling, while your father pairs off with Daff. That is a new
experience to me. 'What is novel also is that I appear to be in a
kind of kindergarten and in my working hours I relive in memory
what earth time has snatched away from me. So in the study of
memory I do not remain at Cadoxton. I enter the film of past events
and make excursions into different times in my past earth life so
as to assimilate it. The scripts are essentially an afterlife
memoir of Winifred Coombe Tennant; they provide a fascinating
insight into her world beyond the grave and are essential reading
for anyone interested in psychical research and life after death.
