Some mediums may just know certain things. Kat, for example, feels the spirits first (clairsentience), then she gets visuals (clairvoyance) and hears messages (clairaudience). Someone who can experience contact with spirits, mediating communication between spirits of the dead and living human beings. The séance is an opportunity to display that spirit contact is possible for everyone. Contemporary mediumship is much more about empowering people to explore their own talents.

The days of mediums being viewed as all-powerful figures because they, and they alone, hold the keys to the other side, are fading. In order to hold a spiritually active séance, they employ a variety of communication techniques to draw the spirits in (most commonly a pendulum and automatic writing), to create the right atmosphere, and to raise the correct energy for a positive encounter with the spirit world.ĭan and Kat believe that a good séance requires definitive, positive contact with spirits and also that guests understand they are capable of experiencing spirit contact without them. I have always been intrigued (haven’t you?) by spiritualism and mediumship, so I didn’t hesitate to accept an invite to attend an online séance (yes that’s a thing now) with celebrity occultists, séance hosts, and mediums The Eckharts (Dan and Kat, a real-life couple, from Maryland US.) What is a séance?Ī séance is an attempt to communicate with spirits (the word séance comes from the French word for "session", from the Old French seoir, "to sit").
