Mediumship is he process whereby a human instrument, known as a MEDIUM or CHANNEL, is used by one or more disembodied, spirit personalities.
People have been able to communicate with the spirit world for thousands of years, in fact ever since man walked the earth. We have references to mediumistic acts throughout the bible and other spiritual writings. Moses, Mary, Peter and many more people all had experiences which have been labeled as visions, angels appearing unto them or speaking in tongues. These can be classed as physical phenomena, with materialization being just one form of physical phenomena that we as humans can experience when communicating with the spirit world.
Mediumship can be divided into two types, Mental Mediumship and physical Mediumship channeling because two distinct types of phenomena can occur through mediums:
* Communication (the medium is a spirit communicator))
* Manipulation of energies and energy systems (the medium is a spirit operator)
The Society for Psychical Research (SPR) was founded in 1882 by three dons of Trinity College, Cambridge. Sir William F. Barrett, a professor of physics at the Royal College of Science in Dublin, had been conducting experiments in the 1880s testing the notion of thought-transference.

One of the more significant cases of mediumistic communication concerns the many messages received by Sir Oliver Lodge from his deceased son Raymond.

The editor of the journal, highly regarded as a … Read more
Mina Crandon (more commonly known as Margery) is, perhaps, the most controversial medium in the history of Spiritualism. The most astounding aspect of the Margery mediumship was the diversity of phenomena which occurred. They ranged from breezes, raps, trance and trance writing in several languages, to materializations, independent voice, apportations, and the production of paraffin … Read more
Perhaps the best claimant to successful mediumship was Mrs. Leonora E. Piper of Boston, Massachusetts. Her mediumship began spontaneously in 1884, on the occasion of going into a trance during the seance of another medium. At first her controlling spirits rather pretentiously claimed to be Bach and Longfellow. Then appeared a self-styled French doctor who … Read more
Physical mediumship is the process whereby someone, in Spirit, usually known as a spirit operator (as compared to a spirit communicator), works or operates through the mental AND physical energies of the medium and causes something physical to happen on the Earth plane. Physical mediumship is objective in nature; that is, when the phenomena occur, … Read more
Mental Mediumship is the relaying of information through communication, via the varied aspects of thought transference, or mental telepathy, without using any of the five physical senses. Mental mediumship takes place within the consciousness of the medium. The results are expressed verbally and must pass through the medium’s mouth. In a demonstration of mental mediumship, … Read more
