If you've ever dipped your toe into the world of mediumship, chances are you've heard someone say, “You must protect yourself from negative spirits!” Cue the dramatic music, the frantic lighting of sage, and people waving crystals around like they’re trying to direct traffic.
But here’s the truth: You don’t need protection from spirit. You need protection from humans.
Yes, really. Let’s break this down.
Spirit Isn’t Out to Get You
First things first—spirit works from a place of love. Your nan in the spirit world isn’t going to suddenly become a terrifying poltergeist just because she’s no longer in human form. Spirit communication is about connection, healing, and guidance—not horror movie scenarios.
Yet, so many people are convinced that if they don’t ‘protect’ themselves, they’ll end up being possessed, haunted, or dragged into the abyss. Nope. That’s just Hollywood talking. Mediumship is about raising your vibration, not defending yourself from some non-existent spiritual invasion.
So, Who (or What) Do You Actually Need Protection From?
Humans. More specifically:
1. Energy Vampires
You know the ones. The people who drain your energy faster than your phone battery on 1%. These are the individuals who latch onto mediums, expecting them to be their personal 24/7 spiritual hotline. Boundaries are your best protection here—learn to say no.
2. Ego-Driven “Experts”
Not all teachers and mentors are created equal. Some love to act like they have a spiritual monopoly, filling you with fear-based nonsense just to keep you dependent on them. If someone’s teachings make you feel small, scared, or unworthy, run. Fast.
3. The “Free Reading” Crowd
There’s nothing quite like a distant cousin sliding into your DMs with, “Can you just quickly connect with my great-aunt’s neighbour’s dog?” Protect yourself from becoming a spiritual vending machine. Your gift deserves respect.
4. Your Own Self-Doubt
The biggest thing you need protection from? Yourself. That little voice in your head telling you you’re making it all up? That’s what blocks you—not spirit. The best protection you can have is confidence in yourself and your connection.
The Real Protection You Need in Mediumship
Forget the fear-based rituals and instead focus on these practical protections:
Set Boundaries – With your time, your energy, and who you allow into your space.
Ground Yourself – Not because spirit will harm you, but because life can be overwhelming.
Trust Spirit, Question Humans – Spirit operates with love. People? Sometimes not so much.
Keep Your Energy Clear – Not to ‘ward off’ spirits, but to keep your own vibration high so you can work effectively.
Final Thoughts
The biggest myth in mediumship is that we need protection from spirit. We don’t. Spirit is love. The only thing we need to protect ourselves from is bad human behaviour, dodgy teachings, and our own self-doubt.
So, next time someone insists you need to ‘protect’ yourself before connecting with spirit, smile politely and remember: you’re not in danger—you’re just dealing with people who’ve watched too many horror films.
