Séances Exposed: The Dark Spiritual Origin, Biblical Warnings, and Why Christians Must Reject Mediumship
Séances have become popularized through movies, paranormal TV shows, and the rise of New Age spirituality—but the practice is far from harmless entertainment. A séance is a ritual where people attempt to communicate with the dead, usually through a medium or psychic. While culture portrays this as comforting or enlightening, the Bible gives a clear and urgent warning: contacting the dead is strictly forbidden and always opens doors to demonic deception.
Where Did Séances Come From? The Cultural & Spiritual Origin
The modern séance movement began in the 19th century with the Fox Sisters in upstate New York, who claimed to communicate with spirits through knocking sounds. Their ideas spread globally and became the foundation of Spiritualism, a religion built entirely on contacting the dead.
Reference: The History of Spiritualism by Arthur Conan Doyle.
Spiritualism grew rapidly in the U.S. and Europe, blending occultism, mysticism, and Eastern metaphysical beliefs. Mediumship was tied closely to Hindu and Buddhist ideas about spirits, as well as European paganism, where shamans and witch doctors attempted spirit communication through rituals.
Who Is the “god” Behind Séances and Mediumship?
Spiritualism claimed that “spirit guides” were benevolent beings helping humanity evolve. But according to the Bible, these so-called guides are not the dead, but familiar spirits—demonic entities masquerading as deceased loved ones.
God makes it absolutely clear:
“There shall not be found among you… a medium, or a necromancer, or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD.”
— Deuteronomy 18:10–12
The god behind séances is not the God of the Bible, but the prince of darkness, Satan, who disguises himself as “an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14).
How Mediums Become Involved: A Doorway to Demonic Influence
Most mediums report early spiritual experiences, trauma, or exposure to occult practices. They often describe:
-
hearing voices
-
seeing spirits
-
feeling presences
-
sensing emotions
-
prophetic impressions
However, these abilities did not come from the Holy Spirit—they came from familiar spirits, often inherited through generational curses, witchcraft in the family line, or playing with occult practices like Ouija boards, tarot, or psychic readings.
Reference: “Familiar Spirits and Spirit Guides in Occultism.”
Once a person opens this spiritual door, spirits begin to communicate more clearly, eventually taking control of their senses, speech, and emotions. What they believe is a “gift” is actually demonic oppression or partnership.
What Do Séance Practitioners Believe?
Spiritualists and mediums typically believe that:
-
the dead can communicate with the living
-
spirit guides lead and protect them
-
there is no heaven, hell, or judgment
-
humans can evolve spiritually through spirit contact
These beliefs directly contradict Scripture. Hebrews 9:27 says:
“It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”
The dead are not roaming around looking for conversation. The only beings responding at séances are demons impersonating the dead.
What Is the Purpose of a Séance? Why Do People Use It?
Séances are used for:
-
comfort after loss
-
curiosity
-
seeking guidance
-
contacting ancestors
-
spiritual power
-
paranormal investigation
But the real purpose behind séances is demonic access. The enemy uses grief, trauma, and curiosity to draw people into spiritual deception.
Reference: “Biblical Warnings Against Divination and Mediumship.”
Is It Divination, Occultism, Witchcraft, or New Age?
Séances are:
-
divination (seeking knowledge from spirits
-
occultism (hidden supernatural knowledge)
-
witchcraft (partnering with familiar spirits)
-
New Age practice (channeling, spirit guides)
It is not one category—it is all of them.
Can Someone Become a Victim of a Séance or Remote Viewing?
Yes. If someone attempts to spiritually observe, track, or target you through occult means, these are witchcraft tactics. While demons cannot “override” God’s protection, people outside of Christ who have open doors can be spiritually influenced.
Protection comes through:
-
the blood of Jesus
-
repentance
-
renouncing all occult involvement
-
daily spiritual warfare
-
walking in obedience to God
Why Someone May Need Deliverance After a Séance
Any involvement—attending, hosting, watching, or participating—creates spiritual contamination. You may need deliverance if you experience:
-
nightmares or sleep paralysis
-
hearing voices
-
seeing shadows or spirits
-
sudden fear, depression, or confusion
-
intrusive thoughts
-
feeling watched
-
supernatural occurrences in your home
Jesus Christ is the only One who delivers, heals, and restores.

45–55 SECOND YOUTUBE SCRIPT
“Many people think séances are fun, harmless, or a way to connect with a lost loved one — but the Bible gives a very different picture. Séances began in the 1800s through the Fox Sisters and the occult religion called Spiritualism. Mediums claim they speak to the dead, but Scripture clearly says the dead cannot talk to us. What people hear at séances are familiar spirits — demons impersonating loved ones. God strictly forbids contacting the dead because it opens doors to demonic influence, confusion, nightmares, and spiritual bondage. If you’ve ever been to a séance, used a medium, or tried to reach the dead, you may need deliverance. Jesus Christ is the only One who can break those chains and bring true healing. Watch this video to learn how to close the door to the occult and step into freedom.”
