Channelers claim to have channeled ascended masters like [[Buddha]], [[Jesus]], or [[St. Germain]]; people who have died; [[angels]]; higher dimensional [[being]]s; and [[extraterrestrial]]s of a spiritual or more evolved nature; and God. Channeling is a popular source of revealed teachings in some [[New Age]] groups. Often, the term channeling is used interchangeably with the more traditional term of mediumship.

"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.

Mediumship is also part of the belief system of some New Age groups. In this context, and under the name channelling, it refers to a medium who claims to receive messages from a "teaching-spirit". In some cultures, mediums (or the spirits they claim are working with them) claim to be able to produce physical paranormal phenomena such as materialisations of spirits, apports of objects, or levitation.[2][3]

Attempts to communicate with the dead and other spirits have been documented back to early human history. One of the most well-known is the story [[Witch of Endor]], who was said to have raised the spirit of the deceased [[prophet Samuel]] to allow the Hebrew king Saul to question his former mentor about an upcoming battle, as related in the First book of Samuel in the Jewish Tanakh (the [[Old Testament]]).
