In [[spirituality]], channelling (Brit.) or [[Channel|channeling]] (Am.) is the belief that [[communication]] of [[information]] occurs by or through a [[person]] (the channel or medium), from a spirit or other paranormal entity outside the mind (or self) of the channel. Channeling is part of the belief systems and rituals of religions, such as Candomblé, Voodoo, Kardecism, and Umbanda.

"Mediumship" denotes the ability of a person (the medium) to experience what they or others believe is contact with spirits of the dead, angels, demons or other immaterial entities. The role of the medium is to attempt to facilitate communication with spirits who have messages to share with non-mediums.

Mediums claim the abilities to listen to and relate conversations with spirit voices; go into a trance and speak without knowledge of what is being said; allow a spirit to control their body and speak through it; relay messages from the spirits to those who wish to contact them with the help of a physical tool, such as a writing instrument.
