Historical Mediums
Throughout human history, there are those who communicate with spirits. Ancient Greeks regularly used mediums. The God Apollo had shrines such as the Oracle at Delphi where psychic mediums communicated with spirits.
These mediums were hand selected as those who lived a superior and blameless life. These mediums were elite members of society who used scared vapors to reach out and receive messages from Apollo. This high priestess would receive visitors from thousands of miles away in order to communicate with the spirit world.
One noted case from 630 BC involves the king of Thera. He was told to make a colony in Libya. Because he did not know where it was, he chose to do nothing. The subsequent drought in his land brought him back to the oracle. He was again told to go to Libya. It wasn’t until his third visit that he actually did what he was told. After this visit, he prospered.
The Old Testament also speaks of communication with deceased prophets for guidance.
Spiritualism and the use of Psychic mediums were popular in the nineteenth century. Seances were held in either the medium’s home or the home of wealthy benefactor. Here, the spirit would communicate by rapping out a yes or no response. Spirit writing was also common. The spirit trumpet came to be quite popular. When the spirits were communicated, voices of the dead would come through the type of trumpet that the hard of hearing used.
Spiritualism gained a great deal of popularity after Mary Todd Lincoln held seances to reach out to her departed son. This continued until shortly after World War I.
Not all celebrities were fans of mediums. Famed magician Harry Houdini made it his mission to expose some fraudulent mediums. However, he did leave hope, by giving his wife a message should he be able to reach out from beyond the grave. Thus, his wife held seances for a full decade on the anniversary of his death. Three years after he died, the medium Arthur Ford delivered the message. Mrs. Houdini verified that this message was correct.
Around this time, actual training camps for spiritualist came about. There was Camp Chesterfield in Illinois that is still in operation after a century. Rigorous training and testing takes place here. This allows for the testing of true skills and gifts.
