Hi there, I have a good friend, very spiritually wiccan, she knows someone who can claim to channel spirits, i have met him and exprienced the 'channeling', but i am still skeptical of it being legitimate or not.
Can this be a real thing or not?
What do you believe/any experience with this?
Yes this is real but if your friend asks for money then she is a fake because many people claim that they can chann spirits but they are just doing this to get money
well, not all who charge for their channeling is a fake, just 95% of them. there are some tells, for example leading questions, like with Dorothy and Professor Marvel [the Wizard] when he was gazing into the crystal ball. he claims he sees a woman who cared for Dorothy in sickness, at which point Dorothy opened up about the time she had the measles and her Aunt took care of her. many fake psychics do this and most people don't pick up on it.
if the person was suddenly possessed by the spirit you were channeling, i would also raise a flag. i have dealt with spirits, and have many friends who can speak with spirits as well, and never has anyone of us had a spirit enter our body and speak through us. normally a voice or strong feeling will come over one or all of us and we speak for the spirit.
while i'm not a fan [my mom is] the Long Island Medium would be a typical experience. she claims a strong feeling comes over her, and 'spirit' tells her what to say, or she will see a red car, or smell lilacs, and while it means nothing to her, it's the spirits way of relaying a message to the living whom she's speaking with. [i'm not saying she's a real medium or a fake, it's an example]
take everything with a grain of salt, and if your friends friend asks for payment, say no and walk away.
Nothing is for a payment. But it is like a possession, as if the spirit was speaking through him, nothing seeming scary or evil, but a more than just talking to spirits. If that makes sense...
Are you talking about being a medium? And talking to spirits is a gift that many people across the globe have. So if he seems legitimate, I might not doubt it. Though you can't really be for sure.
Yes and no, isnt mediumship just more of a mental comunication with the one medium? (Sort of). Its more like the spirit comes through him and speaks, and everyone hears. Of that makes sense
Being a medium is pretty much being the middle ground between the spirit and the actual world. As in if you are the medium, you are the one to know what the spirit is saying and communicate it or the spirit communicates through you. You are pretty much the connection between what the spirit is saying and what everyone else is hearing.
