What is Spiritism, Spiritism or Psychic Mediumship?

There have been some interesting discussions all over the popular African Religion Forums regarding mediumship, spiritualism, and the differences between the methods used to communicate with the dead. Please see them below.

What is a spiritualist? I think for most this means a person who is a medium who can communicate with the dead and maybe see, feel and hear them. And he must know how to deal with different spirits as they come along.

What is dead? A muertero in terms of the terminology I use is the same as a spiritualist. They know how to communicate and work with the spirits of both good and evil. Spiritstas are in the same boat as the Muertero as far as I’m concerned. To me they are two different names for the same type of person. The lines are blurred depending on the beliefs or background in the areas and knowledge of spiritualism.

What are the differences between the two and their practices, if any? I recently heard the Boveda versus the Voveda… which is interesting. I communicate personally and work my dead in my Boveda. It is a place both for my eyes and for practice.

What exactly is “real” spiritualism, in your opinion? Real spiritualism in my eyes is ANY form of spiritualism. Be it Asian cross/influenced, African, Irish, and anything in between. It is communicating with spirits and learning to work with them in all aspects, if not some.

Real spiritualism is how you and your guides interact with each other. I believe that the faith you have in what you have is what will work for you. Real spiritualism is an open book depending on how you were taught to practice it. I don’t think it has a beginning or an end, it has the basic tools you need to get started, like sentences, vault, etc, but then from there it’s how and why your guides want you to do it.

My guides might tell me that I need a machete covered in 9-color tape above my door for my protection and to cut through negativity… but I can’t come to your house and tell you that the scissors you have above your door are wrong because that is for your protection and as your guides told you they needed to protect the gate.
