🌀 Mediumship: Spirits Say Hi from Beyond and Why It’s a Nope 🚫
Ever wondered what it’s like to have one foot in this world and another in the spirit world? If you’re itching to find out, you must meet a “medium.” But spoiler alert, ancient scriptures weren’t exactly hyped about them.
Definition
A medium is someone who plays a celestial game of telephone, acting as an intermediary between the living and those long gone, touching the spiritual hotline to allow spirits to chat in our realm. Mediumship is often understood to involve some level of possession or communication with a spirit or spirits to convey messages to the living.
Meaning
Derived from the Latin word medium, meaning “middle” or “intermediate,” mediums straddle two realms, essentially becoming the literal and figurative link between our world and “Castle Midnight.”

Key Takeaways
