Continuing today with more from the Encyclopedia of Ancient and Forbidden Secrets.We start with Medium and end on Oracle,which will be continued into the next entry from the Nye Manuscript...

..Medium: A person supposed to be qualified in some special manner to form a link between the dead and the living, Through him the spirits of the departed may communicate with their friends still on earth, either by making use of the material organism of the medium himself (" automatic phenomena ") or by producing in the physical world certain manifestations which cannot be explained by known physical laws. The essential qualification of a medium is an abnormal sensitiveness, which enables him to be readily " controlled - by disembodied spirits. For this reason mediums are also known as sensitives. There is some doubt as to whether mediumship is an inherent faculty, or whether it may be acquired; and among some spiritualists at least, the belief is held that all men are mediums, though in varying degrees, and consequently that all are in communication with the spirits, from whom proceeds what we call " inspiration." Those who are ordinarily designated " mediums " are but gifted with the common faculty in a higher degree than their fellows. https://exploringrealhistory.blogspot.com/2021/03/part-10-encyclopedia-of-ancient-and.html
