The Dark Side of Mediumship: How to Spot Unethical Practices

Hello, beautiful souls! Today, we’re venturing into the shadows—not the spooky, spirit-under-the-bed kind, but the very real, very human dark side of mediumship: unethical practices. Yep, even in the spiritual world, not everything is love, light, and perfectly staged Instagram crystals.

Why This Topic Matters

Mediumship is sacred. It’s about healing, connection, and authenticity. But like any field, it has its share of people who exploit trust, prey on vulnerability, or get a little too friendly with their own egos.

So, how do you spot the red flags without becoming overly sceptical? Grab your metaphorical detective hat, and let’s dive in.

Red Flags to Watch For

1. The Fear Factor: If a medium says things like, “You have a curse that only I can remove (for a fee),” run. Fast. Authentic spirit work empowers; it doesn’t scare you into emptying your wallet.

2. The One-Size-Fits-All Reading: If the reading feels generic, like a spiritual horoscope pulled from the back of a magazine, that’s a problem. Real connections are specific, meaningful, and personal.

3. Promises of Guaranteed Results: Mediumship isn’t Amazon Prime. No one can guarantee who will come through, what will be said, or that spirit will cooperate like it’s on a schedule.

4. The “I’m the Chosen One” Complex: If someone claims they’re the only true channel to spirit or that their way is the only way, that’s ego talking, not spirit.

5. High-Pressure Sales Tactics: “Book now, or risk missing your destiny!” Mediumship isn’t a limited-time offer. If it feels like a dodgy sales pitch, trust your gut.

Subtle Signs of Unethical Practices

• Shaming Language: Implying that you’re spiritually inferior if you don’t agree with them.

• Overly Personal Questions: Fishing for information to make vague guesses seem accurate.

• Excessive Name-Dropping: Constantly mentioning their “powerful” connections to validate their own importance.

How to Protect Yourself

1. Trust Your Intuition: If something feels off, it probably is. You don’t need to justify walking away from a situation that doesn’t sit right.

2. Do Your Research: Check reviews, testimonials, and credentials. A genuine medium will have a trail of people who’ve been positively impacted by their work.

3. Ask Questions: Ethical practitioners welcome questions. If someone gets defensive when you ask about their process, that’s a red flag.

4. Know Your Boundaries: You never owe anyone your personal story, energy, or money. You’re in control of your spiritual journey.

What Ethical Mediumship Looks Like

• Empowerment Over Fear: Helping you feel connected, not dependent.

• Honesty About Limitations: No medium has 100% accuracy. Spirit communication is complex, and that’s okay.

• Respect and Integrity: Valuing your time, energy, and emotional well-being above all else.

**Final Thoughts **

Mediumship is a beautiful, transformative practice when done with integrity. But like any path, it requires discernment. Trust yourself. Ask questions. And remember: the real magic lies in connection, not control.

If something feels wrong, it probably is. If something feels right, it probably is too.

Stay curious, stay empowered, and keep your BS radar finely tuned.
