Séance:
(noun) a meeting at which people
attempt to make contact with the dead, especially through the agency of a
medium.
The difference between going to see a medium and hoping to
get messages and attending a séance is that during a séance specific spirits
are called upon. A medium will give you
messages from a ghost or spirit that shows up during your session. For example, when people come in for a
reading, sometimes they will have an ancestor or ghost with them. The spirit has a message for the client and
the message is given. During a séance,
the people attending have specific deceased folks they want to contact, whether
the spirit wants to contact them or not.
A lot of work goes into a séance. It’s suggested the medium fast for a few days
ahead of time. Not a total no food fast,
but a definite limiting of intake, to full fasting on the day of. Often during a séance the spirit wants to
speak through the medium, not just pass on a message. (Think Whoopi Goldberg in Ghost when the
spirits are jumping in and out of her body.)
It is much easier to remove the essence of the spirit from a body that’s
been fasting than from one that hasn’t.
When we hold our annual séance, the attendees are asked to
begin thinking about who they may want to contact ahead of time, limiting
communication to three spirits. This is why we ask people to sign up in advance. The veil is getting thinner, and the attendee
thinking of their ghost calls the spirit to the séance. Preparations are taken
in the room, and the group assembles and holds hands. The seating is set specifically to bring
balance, and there are times attendees may be asked to move to a different
seat. We create a closed circle to block
unwanted energies from entering. The
circle remains intact throughout the séance, however if there is an emergency
and someone needs to leave the circle the attendees are instructed on how to
make this happen without breaking the circle.
Attendees are also given instructions before attending which
include basic preparations as well as actions to take after the séance. No one wants a ghost to follow them home or
hang out in their car. Well, some people
do, but usually they want THEIR ghost going home with them, not some random spirit
who decided to visit the séance.
There are times when a specific spirit cannot or will not
attend a séance. Usually the spirit will,
however, send an emissary in their place, sometimes an angel or a guide; to
give answers to the person requesting the meeting.
Seances are easier on everyone between October and November,
but my suggestion is not to hold one on Halloween. The vibrations of the many cults, covens and curious
folks engaged in negative activity on this day can pull some extreme entities
in. November 1st is All
Saints Day, and the day we hold our yearly séance. It’s close to the end of the
opening of the veil, and the triple 1 (11/1) pulls in a positive
vibration. This year’s date is extra
special, numerically coming to an 11, a mastership number. Messages may be extremely potent delivered on
this day.
A séance takes place when you call in the ghost. Messages from a medium come when the ghost
calls you. If you are looking for
messages from your deceased loved ones and decide to go to a medium or attend a
séance, please do your research and check for recommendations. Remember, not everyone’s energies match, so a
highly recommended medium may do wonders for your best friend, but nothing for
you. We are well blessed that mediumship
has become so mainstream, and finding a good one is easier than ever
before. If you are ever uncomfortable
with a medium, get up and walk out.
Better to keep your energy clear than take home some negativity. Your ghosts love you, and that message will come through loud and clear no matter if its through a medium or seance.
