Whats your view on mediumship?

Im quite torn on this topic.
On the one hand I think its good that the LHP advocates for finding your own truth, not only because that will give you a solid foundation upon which to build but also because imo the vast majority of occult service providers are frauds (not saying all, because I have met some genuine people).
On the other hand, having to find your own truth without a guiding hand whatsoever at every twist and turn upon the crooked path is insanely hard and frustrating and I personally enjoyed the very few confirmations of more experienced practitioners that I got along the way.

Now, a couple weeks ago I probably wouldve never asked that question because I had adopted the belief that as the LHP is very individualistic, you should not relay messages from the gods to other practitioners, believing that it might actually hamper their progress or make them reliant on outside confirmation (which I still believe is a very real risk but maybe isnt as black and white as I used to believe).
A couple weeks ago then I had written a post in an occult community and someone approached me in DMs. They asked if “popular demon name here” was reaching out to them. The demon in question was one I am in contact with but adhering to my belief and also not being confident in my ability anyway, I started writing the typical “this is an individualistic path, other practitioners cant…” and right then it happened! I heard the demons voice in my mind right then and its been by far the clearest Ive ever heard a demon talk to me and mind you this was out and about and I wasnt even in meditation.
So I pondered for a while…deleted my message and relayed the words that the demon spoke to me.
This has only happened once and I didnt intend for it to happen, although it did fill me with immense pride and happiness when it did happen.

Now I dont know where to go…obviously the potential for corruption is through the roof with this one and Id be lying if I would say that I didnt enjoy the attention.

Hopefully someone has been in a similar situation before and can offer some words of wisdom.

I think they mostly don’t mean to be, but people try to force a message, are too hard, or don’t realize they’re not in contact with what they think.

I always say “UPG is UPG”. I’ll hear it out, but not consider it verified unless a couple of others say the same thing or it matches my intuition (intuition, not what I want to hear, ideally).
I probably won’t act on it without further work to verify it.

This exactly. I do the exact same thing, I never scan, read or do work… unless… I get spintaneous clairsentience or info or an intuition that I should. I encourage people to practice their own workings.

So I think it’s ok if it’s not always one or the other. I call it “feeling called” to get involved and answer.

And most of the time I don’t feel called, so I leave it to those that do.

And when I do get called, it’s much easier - like you said it’s instant you just know - I have a much higher rate of positive feedback

Card divination send more reliable as long as you leave the interpretation to the seeker and just explain the impressions. But I still only pull cards when “called”. I did notice that my old deck almost never called, but the Quareia deck does so much more often. And I get many more impressions from entities I’m in regular contact with, not just anybody.

So I also think that as I continue working and developing my contact with entities, the cards, and my own subconscious, I get called more and more.

That doesn’t mean I or anyone can’t give accurate answers using regular skills, I think often they do, it’s just a lot more work and a bit more open to castle building.

Finally all impressions including the spontaneous clairs are all at risk from being hijacked by impostors, over time you also get intuition more and more about the legitimacy of the source of impressions too.

You had no doubt in your mind in your post that the clairaudience was from the entity in question, that imo counts as intuition. But if the clair had felt disembodied or random, and you didn’t feel called, you would have maybe not considered it a real answer. In this case, for me, I banish assuming I’m being trolled by parasites. :slight_smile:

So yeah, tl;dr I go with both. Most of the time the thing isn’t my business and forcing answer is difficult and less accurate, though not impossible by far, but sometimes I feel called to jump in and then it’s easy and accurate. And second, practice increases the occurrence of being called.

Thank you so much for that detailed response, I really appreciate it!

I guess the only question thats left on my mind is how to deal with the fact that being called felt so good and I want it more, yet I also dont wanna force it. Though, I guess you already hinted at an answer anyway when you say

So I guess channeling the desire for this occuring more into ambition and practice is a good idea?

Yeah, it’s like, practicing the same magick, either it’s a ritual or contracting a given entity, gets easier and easier every time you do it. Like wearing a groove in reality that’s easier to slip into than other methods. And that makes that same magick technique more successful as well.

So I think if you keep working with that entity you’ll get clearer messages, and the more you do the more you can. :slight_smile:
