All about: Traditional methods of communicating with the dead

There are people who swear that speaking to the dead is a hoax, that the practitioners use suggestion and simple effects in order to make the audiences believe that there is actual communication. Others believe wholeheartedly that it is possible and that it can be dangerous. This article will look at a few of the options.

Ouija Board

For people wanting to know what is after death, the Ouija board is maybe the most popular method. It has a rich history dating back to Ancient China, and has had a place in many different cultures throughout the decades. Ouija boards are well known for the images of participants with their fingers on the marker, and being moved around by the visiting spirits, as they attempt to communicate with the dead. Ouija boards are frowned upon by a lot of Spiritualists who believe that it is very dangerous to be inviting spirits of the dead into the room. They believe this because there is no way of guarding against dark spirits coming through as well as light spirits.

Mediums

Mediumship is the claimed ability of a person to experience contact with spirits of the dead, angels, demons or other immaterial entities. The role of the medium is to facilitate communication with spirits who have messages to share with non-mediums. Mediums claim to be able to listen to, to relay messages from, and to relate after death communications with the spirit world, to go into a trance and to speak without knowledge of what is being said, to allow a spirit to control their body and to speak through it, perhaps by using a writing instrument. Many people assume that mediums are fake and have access to information before hand, or they can at least, read body language. Through the use of open questions, they also appear to get answers from beyond the grave.

Spiritualism

Spiritualism is a belief system suggesting a belief in God. A distinguishing feature is that the belief that spirits of the dead are residing in the spirit world have both the ability and the inclination to communicate with the living. It is not a belief that anyone can learn how to talk to the dead, but anyone can receive messages from the spirit world. However, only certain people can translate them. Similar to mediumship, Spiritualism is highly regarded by some, but derided by others. It's down to the individual to decide what they choose to believe and what they think is a hoax.

Conclusion

After death experiences, the After life in general is very much done to individual belief. If anyone chooses to explore the Spirit World, they should do so with respect and control.
