The words used by mediums may sometimes seem odd to those who are not into psychic speak. Here I have given a simple explanation of a few common terms.
A Sitter – Someone who sits with a medium to receive a psychic message
A Medium – A person used as a mediator between the sitter and the afterlife.
A Psychic – Someone who gives information which they glean from a sitter or object by using the sixth sense.
Clairvoyance - The gift of being able to see using the sixth sense
Clairaudience - The gift of being able to hear using the sixth sense
Clairsentience - The gift of being able to feel and smell using the sixth sense
Table Tapping - A form of communication which uses the sitters’ psychic energy to rap/tap, or move a table. Used quite a lot by the Victorians and people within the circle of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Still used by some spiritualists. I have never found it useful personally, as the messages and tappings can be pre-empted by the sitters’ thoughts.
If you are in any doubt about any of the terms I used, please contact me. I am always happy to help.
