Registered Approved Mediums

Members who are working mediums of experience may apply for Registration as an Approved Medium (ISM/RAM) of the Institute. This requires a high standard of ability, detailed knowledge of Spiritualism and Mediumship, as well as expertise on the public platform.

Applications from members of the Institute are subject to careful scrutiny and investigation. This can take a period of time and involves gathering information from churches served as well as a questionnaire to ascertain knowledge and understanding.

The ability to speak in public or to relay 'messages' from, or apparently from, Spirit is by no means sufficient. Good knowledge of the philosophy and history of Spiritualism and an in depth understanding of aspects of mediumship are essential.

The 'Final Hurdle' to be cleared is a demonstration as speaker or spirit communicator before an invited audience. A panel of Registered Approved Mediums will either grant the award or provide constructive assistance for a future attempt.

Institute members may apply to:
