Médiumnité

Médiumnité refers to the claimed ability to perceive or communicate with spirits of the deceased, or to channel information from a non-physical source. Individuals who possess or claim to possess this ability are known as mediums. The phenomena associated with médiumnité can include clairvoyance (seeing spirits or images), clairaudience (hearing spirits), clairsentience (feeling the presence of spirits or emotions), and psychometry (gaining information from objects touched by spirits).

Practices associated with médiumnité vary widely, ranging from private consultations to public demonstrations. These sessions often involve attempts to relay messages from deceased loved ones, provide guidance, or offer comfort. Some mediums employ specific tools, such as pendulums, tarot cards, or automatic writing, to facilitate their perceived communication.

The concept of médiumnité has roots in various spiritual and religious traditions throughout history. In modern times, it gained significant popularity during the Spiritualist movement of the 19th century. Today, it is a recognized practice within certain circles, though it is not scientifically validated and is often viewed with skepticism by mainstream science and organized religions. Belief in médiumnité is a matter of personal faith and experience for many individuals.
