Look back into history and you’ll discover that psychics have been around since the year dot. Variously called soothsayers, oracles, spiritualist, fortune teller, seer, and prophet, a psychic uses their extra sensory perception to glean information not accessible to the rest of us. There are those that say we all have psychic powers, but we lose our ESP connection when we leave childhood behind.

All psychics have a finely developed ESP. They can use their sixth sense to predict future events, talk to dead people, or search for answers in a different realm. Psychic mediums have psychic abilities, but their special skill is talking to spirits.

Psychic Mediums

How do mediums work? There is more than one answer to that question. Psychics mediums are people who allege they can speak to spiritual beings on the “other side” like your dead granny or great uncle Bertram who died in WW1. There are a great many psychic mediums operating all over the world. Some offer group sessions whereby they channel various spirits, who come to the fore to pass messages to loved ones. Others offer one-to-one sessions where they read tarot cards or a crystal ball to communicate with the spirit world. Some go into a trance to allow spirits to take up temporary residence and convey messages.

Charlatan or Genuine?

There will always be some people who don’t believe that psychics exist. These people refuse to believe in anything that can’t be explained by science. However, there are undoubtedly genuine psychics out there who can speak to the spirit world and predict future events with some accuracy. The important thing is to select your psychic very carefully.

Demand for psychics is incredibly high. Even royalty have been known to consult psychics when they want answers – Princess Diana was a well-known fan of psychics and she regularly consulted her favorite psychic, Rita Rogers, many times. But because demand is high, there are a lot of people out there hoping to cash in by conning believers into parting with money for made-up predictions.

Have a Positive Experience

Genuine psychics will offer spontaneous facts and insights without any prompting from you. All you have to do is confirm the veracity of what they are saying. It is best to go along with an open mind as you will likely be given all kinds of random bits of information.

It is best to look for personal recommendations when searching for a psychic medium. Be guided by friends who have had positive experiences. That way you are less likely to be taken for a ride by a charlatan.
