Mediumship is a form of relationship with spirits that is practiced in religions such as Spiritualism, Spiritism, Espiritismo, Candomblé, Louisiana Voodoo, and Umbanda.
While the Western movements of Spiritualism and Spiritism account for most Western exposure, most traditional African and African diasporic traditions include mediumship as a central focus of religious practice.
