Flirting With the Devil
The term "mediumship" denotes the ability of a person (the medium) to experience what they or others believe is contact with spirits of the dead, angels, demons or other immaterial entities. The role of the medium is to attempt to facilitate communication with spirits who have messages to share with non-mediums.
Mediums claim the abilities to listen to and relate conversations with spirit voices; go into a trance and speak without knowledge of what is being said; allow a spirit to control their body and speak through it; relay messages from the spirits to those who wish to contact them with the help of a physical tool, such as a writing instrument.
Mediumship is also part of the belief system of some New Age groups. In this context, and under the name channelling, it refers to a medium who claims to receive messages from a "teaching-spirit".
Channeling
There are two main techniques mediumship developed in the latter half of the 20th century. One type involves psychics or sensitives who can speak to spirits and then relay what they hear to their clients. One of the most noted channels of this type is clairvoyant Danielle Egnew, known for her alleged communication with angelic entities.
The incarnation of non-physical mediumship is a form of channeling in which the channeler goes into a trance, or "leaves their body" and then becomes “possessed” by a specific spirit, who then talks through them. In the trance, the medium enters a cataleptic state marked by extreme rigidity. The control spirit then takes over, the voice may change completely and the spirit answers the questions of those in its presence or giving spiritual knowledge. The most successful and widely known channeler of this variety is J. Z. Knight, who claims to channel the spirit of Ramtha, a 30 thousand year old man. Others claim to channel spirits from "future dimensional", ascended masters, or in the case of the trance mediums of the Brahma, God himself. Channeling is popularly parodied in the "Doonesbury" cartoon where a ditzy female character is occasionally taken over by "Hunk-Ra," an assertive 21,000-year-old warrior. based on Ramtha. Other notable channels are Jane Roberts for Seth, Margaret McElroy for Maitreya and Serge J. Grandbois for Kris, Lee Caroll for Kryon.

Channeling and Mediumship are nothing more than attempts to communicate with the dead. It is quite normal for those in grief to miss their loved ones and even to wish that they could talk with them just one last time. Satan's counterfiet is that the spirit's they contact are not those of deceased loved ones, but are in fact demonic spirits imitating the dead. The Bible clearly states that "it is appointed unto man once to die and after this the judgment." (Hebrews 9:27) The spirits of the deceased are not in some kind of limbo waiting to be contacted. The Bible is clear that after death all are judgeed, either to eternal life or eternal damination. There is no such thing as communication with the dead. It is only another of Satan's manifest lies.
