No more than anyone else. Mary was known to consult charlatans, patronize spiritualists and mediums, about the future. In Mary's defense, at the time Mary was consulting and patronizing spiritualists and mediums, for advice about the future, or advice, in general, consulting spiritualists and mediums seemed to be the new trend amongst many in the country. Superstition was not simply restricted to slaves and servants; prominent Boston intellectuals, European royalty, men as hardheaded as Dan Sickles and Gideon Welles has sought to contact the dear departed in seances, and spiritualism was an international fad of the mid-nineteenth century.
