What does a medium do - what is the difference between a clairvoyant and a medium?

A clairvoyant is one who sees; this can be recieving symbolic imagery or visions through the subconscious mind and the higher self. They often use tools ie; Tarot, Runes or forms of scrying. A medium is a channel for spirit; they contact or ecieve messages from other spirits, usually those assumed dead or not of this world. In theory the become the vechile through which the bodyless spirit an speak.

A Clairvoyant predicts one's future ahead. A Medium explains as being in the centre of something. Medium in this instance is being in between the living and the dead and transports messages from the other side if you believe in any of it. Although it has not been proved or disproved either way, you have to make your own decision on the issue.

Like its been said, mediums allegedly talk to the dead while clairvoyants allegedly see the future. Since you can do neither, you have to take thier word for it. Mediums tend to prey on people who have recently lost someone and are emotionally vulnerable. Clairvoyants tend to prey on people who already believe in psychic abilities. The Bible says that both of these activities are sins and are forbidden by God. If you believe in God, stay away from these people.

You had your aura read? You think the medium was sent by a deceased person? You think there's a difference between medium and a clairvoyant? You are knee deep in the fantasy world.

Medium's something of an archaic term. It usually refers to whomever calls herself [and occasionally himself] by that label. It happens people who call themselves mediums mostly claim to communicate with the dead, or to various entities. Clairvoyant is a more recent term that's frequently used interchangably with 'psychic', neither of which necessarily nails down a particular meaning to the words. Usually people who call themselves clairvoyant or psychic are involved in some commercial permutation of the metaphysical business. People who use paranormal skills for other purposes than pure commercialism usually are more specific in what they call themselves. Remote viewers, dowsers, energy healers, Quantum Touch healers, Reiki practicioners, Silva practicioners, labels along those lines.
