There are a number of different forms of Mediumship
but mainly these can be divided into two types, Mental Mediumship and
Physical Mediumship.
Mental Mediumship can be split into three more categories, Clairvoyance,
Clairaudience and Clairsentience.
Mental Mediumship uses mediumistic abilities for communication between the
two worlds. The Three different types of Mental Mediumship are:
Clairvoyance: A person who is Clairvoyant can see Spirit. This usually means
they see the person communicating in their minds eye, which can be in the
form of a picture in the mind's eye or like watching a television screen.
Some Mediums can see Spirits with their Physical eyes as if there is another
person in the same room as themselves. The Medium will then describe what
they see to whoever the spirit is communicating with. It is not always
people that Mediums see sometimes it can also be animals or even objects and
symbols. Some objects will be given to the Medium to be interpreted
symbolically.
Clairaudience: With this form of Mediumship the person hears the spirit
communicating with them. Again this can be voices in the Mediums head or
thoughts running through the mind. Sometimes a Medium will actually hear
someone talking to them with their physical ears. The medium will not only
"hear" voices but can also be given music or singing.
Clairsentience: This type of Mediumship is the most common form and
experienced very often by people just beginning to understand the gift that
they have. This type of Mediumship takes the form of the Medium sensing a
spirit presence, usually through feelings. Mediums often feel as if they are
being touched, feelings of cold or slight breezes wafting past them.
Sometimes they can have the feeling of cobwebs on their face or can even
smell fragrances associated with the spirit presence of their time on earth.
Mediums will use one or more of these forms of communication in order to
convey messages from the spirit world.
Physical Mediumship is not as common today as it was in Victorian times and
the early twentieth century. The types of Physical phenomenon usually
encountered are Transfiguration, Ectoplasm, Voice Trumpets, Materialisation
and Apports. .
Physical Mediumship really took off in the mid 1800's up to the 1960's,
although it is still practiced today. Physical mediumship should only be
practised in properly controlled environments with the correct supervision
and safeguards in place to ensure the safety of the medium.
Physical mediumship usually takes more time and patience to practice. The
conditions have to be right for spirit to appear in whatever form. The
energy used by spirit is a lot greater in this form of communication than
with mental mediumship.
Here are some other types of physical Mediumship.
Materialisation can also occur where the spirit can be seen, and sometimes
touched, by those present. This type of communication is very rare and
should not be confused with ghosts or apparitions, as the spirit will use
the energy built up in the room by those present to "appear".
Transfiguration: Here the face of a spirit person can be seen on formed over
the mediums face. The correct use of lighting is necessary as shadows can
appear making people think they have seen someone that really isn't there.
The faces can be very clear at times, with the mediums face completely
disappearing.
Direct Voice. This sounds very strange, but objects called trumpets are used
for this type of communication, they are conical shaped objects with holes
at both ends. The trumpet is placed in the centre of the circle of people
present, when the atmosphere is right for spirit they will make the trumpet
float in the air and use it for communication. This sounds far fetched I
know, but it does happen. The sound is created from an artificial throat box
formed from ectoplasm and comes from the pointed end of the trumpet.
Trance: This form of mediumship allows the spirit to control the mediums
body for communication. This could mean using not only the voice box but
also moving various parts of the body. There are various stages of trance
from slight over shadowing to full deep trance where the medium seems to be
asleep. Whilst in trance the medium will be aware of spirit around them, and
will communicate all that is told to them without interaction of their own
thoughts. Deep trance is obviously better for this as the medium is not
aware of what is being said by the spirit to those present. The medium
should be in no danger if the session is correctly overseen and controlled.
Apports. An Apport is a physical object bought through by spirit usually to
the group of people sitting for communication. The objects can be almost
anything from flowers, books, People do not usually sit for the purpose of
bringing apports through, they just happen during a séance or closed circle
if the spirit wishes to do so for what ever reason.
Physical Mediumship
is by nature the most controversial form of mediumship.
Since the early days of the Fox sisters and on in too the
19th century and the amazing Helen Duncan, it has grown and
grown, to something that today is becoming more excepted.
We use Infra red cameras, to try and film ectoplasm and full
materialisation, it is still early days, but the future
looks exciting. France ,Denmark, New York and Canada
are just some of the places Warren has demonstrated.
Working closely with well known professional such as Marion
Dampier Jeans, Kai mugge,Tom and Kevin Lawrenson there has
never been a better time to come and witness this wonderful
form of communication for yourself.
