Introduction
This introduction is a little bit different from an ordinary one. This is because all the writers are spirits and all the messages are chanelled by a medium. However, I presume you know or have heard of them if you have ever read one of the books of Silver Birch. As you can see, these messages are seriously received by the medium on November 2022.
I hope you enjoy these messages.
Introduction No.1
(Recorded on November 4th 2022)
Welcome to our website.
This page is being created by a team of four: Mr. Kusuki, who operates a blog in Japan called ‘Silver Birch Again’; myself, Hannen Swaffer; Maurice Barbanell, with whom many of you will be familiar; and the second-generation medium who has succeeded Maurice Barbanell.
Concerning the medium, we shall refer to them as neither ‘Him’ nor ‘Her’. The medium’s personal information will be revealed only after their passing.
Mr. Kusuki works under the name Ken Kusuki. For more details, please see the ‘Compertree Library’ on his personal website. It is probable that by the time this ‘SilverBirchReturns’ is made public, an English version of his site will also be available.
I have waited a very long time for this next generation of the Silver Birch spirit group. Miraculously, in Japan, a far-off nation in the East and an island country like our own England, a writer (Mr. Kusuki) and a medium have been born.
After consulting with Barbanell, I decided to join as one of the guides of light for both the writer and the medium. The leader of their respective guiding circles welcomed us and generously permitted us to belong to both simultaneously. I am not at liberty to reveal their names, but rest assured, they are exceedingly wise and thoughtful individuals. I wish to offer them my most heartfelt gratitude here.
Now, regarding the purpose of this website: we have arranged for the writer and medium to channel messages —the very latest messages, at that— in the hope that Silver Birch, by returning once more, might offer some form of enlightenment to the spiritualists of the 21st century.
Initially, the content will likely consist of translations from the Japanese blog. The entity channelling messages there is an even older soul from within the Silver Birch group, whereas the predecessor was a sacred spirit who appeared to us in the guise of a Native American. This new entity is of a considerably high rank, yet they strongly wished to convey the messages themselves. They have contacted the writer and medium, and they primarily speak with the medium, who then conveys the text to the writer.
Let me touch briefly upon the medium as well. Firstly, the medium speaks only their native tongue, but they can converse with spirits in various forms. In the case of this particular medium, however, they are more adept at speaking with high-dimensional beings of light and do not lend an ear to the whispers of negative entities. Indeed, they do not hear them at all.
Furthermore, unlike Barbanell—and perhaps this is due to the evolution of the times—they are a full-conscious channeller, one who channels whilst maintaining their consciousness in a state of complete clarity. After the spirit has spoken with the medium, the writer then translates the message into English and posts it on this website.
As for the writer, I shall not say a great deal, as he will likely write when he feels compelled to do so. However, I will say this: he is a person with a profound connection to the Silver Birch spirit group. He himself will likely come to understand this truth upon his passing.
This domain name was registered on my birthday, as a special gesture. After the three of us—Barbanell, myself, and Lord Northcliffe—discussed who would be most suitable for the honour, I was somehow chosen. This appears to be in recognition of my career achievements and my continued publication of The Psychic News.
I still trust in my own judgement of character and my ability to recognise talent. I am certain, and I believe, that this writer and medium are indeed worthy of bringing the story of Silver Birch back to life in our modern times.
And so, my friends, I bid you open the door to mystery and to the spiritual.
Good luck!

Introduction No.2
(Recorded on November 4th 2022)
Hello Again.
To those who know of me and those who do not, I am pleased to make your acquaintance. I am Maurice Barbanell.
I am primarily responsible for guiding the medium, and I think they are quite wonderful, as they are able to capture the words with remarkable accuracy.
Swaffer has already covered most points, which is very characteristic of him, I must say. For my part, I simply wish for you all to enjoy this new Silver Birch.
And I invite you to feel the new spiritual movement.
To use modern parlance, please try to engage with the contents of this website using all four of your ‘clairs’—that is, Claircognisance, Clairaudience, Clairvoyance, and Clairsentience—and by using your own five senses as well. Let us feel a new wind beginning to blow.
Please sense the Silver Birch of this new age.
Maurice Barbanell

Introduction No.3
(Recorded on November 4th 2022)
Greetings, Ladies and Gentlemen.
I am the fellow known as Lord Northcliffe, though my given name is Harmsworth. I was known as a press baron, some might say, but that is of little consequence here.
Hannen Swaffer, that brilliant theatre critic, has a new newspaper one can read here. Rather amusing, don’t you think?
The subject matter is spiritual, I’m told, but I suspect they’ll end up writing about all sorts of things. I’ve had a word with the head of the guides of light for our writer and medium, and I’ve now joined the guiding team myself.
I may not have a tremendous amount of influence, mind you. Not when Swaffer and Barbanell are on the scene.
But when our writer and medium find themselves in a spot of bother, I intend to be there to offer my advice.
Please, do enjoy it, this 21st-century spiritual movement, and our new online newspaper.
William Harmsworth (Lord Northcliffe)

Introduction No.4
(Recorded on November 14th 2022)
To the Members of the Spirit Group
Hello, everyone.
It is an honour to be with you all again after such a long time.
I who am speaking now am the being who previously maintained contact with Maurice Barbanell throughout his lifetime—the entity commonly known for its Native American appearance.
For this ‘Silver Birch Returns’, we held discussions about who would be the most fitting successor to be the next representative. Subsequently, a particular old soul was chosen, who in turn selected a medium.
I have now become the predecessor, and my role shall be to support the new spirit, the medium, and the writer.
It is my intention to watch over them in this capacity, alongside my dear friends: the medium Maurice Barbanell, Hannen Swaffer, and Lord Northcliffe.
Now, there will be a greeting from the second representative, so I would be grateful if you would continue reading.
From the Previous Representative of the Silver Birch Spirit Group

Introduction No.5
(Recorded on November 14th 2022)
“Welcome home, my child.”
That is what I said when I first made contact with the medium.
Of course, all souls are my beloved children. Yet, until now, there had not been a channeller capable of making direct contact with me.
Therefore, a warm feeling, as if trembling from the very depths of my being, arose within me, and I feel great joy that the spirits of Earth have evolved to this stage.
“Welcome home, my child.”
Saying this, I shall bless all life on Earth.

Introduction No.6
(Recorded on November 14th 2022)
Greetings.
I believe many of you may know me by another name, but much like my predecessor, I make it a practice not to reveal it.
Also like my predecessor, I have chosen one medium and one writer. This time, however, a higher being—different from the one my predecessor used to call the Great White Spirit—shall also make an appearance from time to time.
They appear so rarely that it is rather difficult to introduce them. It may be he, or it may be she; indeed, referring to this entity as a ‘he’ or ‘she’ may be altogether inappropriate.
This great being is what is referred to as ‘Oneness’ or ‘the Source’ in New Age philosophy.
During their first contact, our medium posed a question to this being: “Why is there life, and why is there the Earth?” The being’s reply was remarkably simple: “Because I thought it would be good for life to exist and for that life to shine.” It continued, “And I wish for those lives to shine ever more brightly. Time never stops; it is both an instant and an eternity. Therefore, I wish for you to live this very moment to the fullest. I wish for you to use your life righteously, never ceasing to think for yourselves as to how your own souls may shine.”
It is exceedingly rare for that being to speak with such clarity. It speaks in this way because it wishes for the medium to understand its message profoundly.
I am sure you are all aware that a Creator God exists in this universe. For a being connected to that God of Creation to address us is not something that occurs easily, to say the least. It may even be the first time such an event has ever been recorded.
I feel truly blessed to have encountered this communication, and I am deeply proud to be here as the second representative of the Silver Birch spirit group.
We shall endeavour, together with the medium, to continue conveying clear and simple messages to you all.
Along with the writer, we ask for your continued support.
The Second Representative of the Silver Birch Spirit Group
(Translator’s note: This spirit recently calls himself as John Brooks in the blog, but this is only his placeholder name.)
