A Short History of the Psychic Medium
For centuries, psychic mediums have acted as bridges between the physical and spiritual worlds. From the ancient oracles of Delphi to the mystics of the Middle Ages, humans have long sought guidance from those with the gift to perceive what others cannot.
The modern image of the psychic medium took shape during the 19th century Spiritualist movement, where séances, spirit communication, and trance readings captured the curiosity of people worldwide. It was during this era that mediumship became more public, with practitioners demonstrating their abilities to connect with loved ones beyond the veil.
Today, mediums blend intuition, empathy, and energy work to offer healing and insight. The role is not only about messages from the other side, but also about helping people find peace, clarity, and purpose in their lives.
