If we told you, then it wouldn't be a secret anymore, woulld it?
He subscribed to a number of very independent beliefs, and accordingly, he probably sampled a number of relatively "interesting" groups.
His biographer Morton Cohen states (page 369) that his library contained numerous volumes on occult subjects. He was more or less on the edge of psychological phenomena and he maintainted an interest in supernatural phenomena.
He was a member of the Society for Psychical Research, along with A Conan Doyle and many other intellectuals of the time.
The middle of his life coincided with an wave of spiritaluistic fever of the time.
All the above comes from M Cohen and the chapter on Dodgson's faith.
