Physical Mediumship

A Physical Medium. Historically this seemed to refer to people who were able to manipulate energies around them and produce spirit manifestations like rapping, movement of objects, apports, or levitation of a table. And a medium being defined as a person who is a kind of conduit or connection between the spirit work and the physical world.

So, this former definition is why I did not realize that I am a physical medium until quite recently. The outdated definition seemed to be, in part, based on some of the old con artists in the last Victorian era.

My realization of what it can truly mean, and what it means for me, dawned on me a couple weeks ago when I was having a discussion with some friends about the séance that I conducted over the Halloween weekend at an old historic building in our downtown area. I made mention of the fact that, "whenever our group has any kind of séance or paranormal event something ALWAYS happens". Later thinking about it, I realized that many times nothing happens when others try paranormal investigations, or very little anyway many times. And "our group" usually involves various changing people, with me being the only constant.

Then I remembered talking to a young sensitive that I have worked with, and she showed me her new EMF meter and mentioned that it does not seem to go off the way mine did last year when we did a séance at the local haunted library. But when she swung it around in my direction, it lit up and she said quietly, "it must be you".

So now I'm coming to terms with the idea that every time I initiate spirit contact, there is something that will manifest in the physical world that everyone can see/feel/touch. Like a rocking table, swinging pendulums, EMF meters lighting up, and more recently everyone at the last séance witnessed seeing ectoplasm around our volunteer that I facilitated as the medium of the séance. 

When I re-read the definition – manipulation of energies, then it hit me. That is what happens. And then things show up that everyone in the vicinity can feel and witness. The tables, pendulums, and EMF meters are held by others during these gatherings, I am just nearby opening the energies for the happenings to follow. A conduit. Physical mediumship.

The Rhythms of Life. And the Magick of Numbers.

  The rhythms of life. And the magick of numbers. Saint Augustine wrote, "The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell". ( De Genesi ad Litteram , Book II, xviii, 37 Sir Isaac Newton, the inventor of calculus, but also an avid alchemist. The latter of which hidden by the turning of the head of science. Of course numbers were, and still are, a form of magick. They can represent things in the physical world, be manipulated symbolically and the serve to manifest tremendous and significant change. Reveal hidden correspondences. Maybe science is just a slice of the old magic trying to claim its own significance by distancing itself from the rest. The rhythms of life represented symbolically by numbers to be shuffled and laid out for a snapshot of synchronicity. To see the flow of the...

Automatic Writing

Automatic writing. It was when I learned that the spirits are most active between 6pm and midnight. Or at least it seems true for mediumship like mine. Once again it was my aunt that taught me. My mother always seemed to want to be a part of the esoteric pursuits but lacked something that would cause anything to happen. My mother was so full of fear. Fear can be a blocker like that.  So, one late evening, just after 6pm my aunt sat down at the table with me and we each curled our fingers around the same pencil, sat across from each other, and rested the pencil on a piece of paper laying in the dining room table. It was here that the spirits moved between us, and the pencil began to move. Like the way a Ouija board works, but free flowing to allow letters, words, and even pictures to be drawn. Though I was barely a teen at the time, in the years that followed, I would repeat this exercise with a few other people. Every time something would come across. Nothing after midnight. But al...
