In episode 5 of Netflix’s <i>Life After Death with Tyler Henry</i>, the self-professed California medium asks his dad to build him a “psychomanteum.” He explains it’s a practice that dates back to Ancient Greece. What it ends up being is a room in Henry’s house, painted the colour of <i>Doctor Who’s </i>TARDIS, with the pencil scribbles he does to meditate hung up in black frames and acting like windows. Inside the dark room, Henry spends an hour looking into a mirror that’s angled away from him, trying to get impressions from the afterlife.</p> Sat, 19 Mar 2022 08:00:00 +0000 Jonathan Jarry M.Sc. 9052 at /oss
