220 The Dark Side of Channeling: From Mystical to Dangerous
Channeling is everywhere right now — from TikTok lives and YouTube streams to bestselling books and new thought churches. It looks mystical, empowering, and even glamorous. But the truth? Channeling isn’t light. It’s dangerous.
In this episode of The Illuminated Woman Podcast, we're going to expose the hidden history of channeling, from the Fox sisters in the 1800s to Jane Roberts’ “Seth” in the 1960s, Esther Hicks’ “Abraham” in the 1980s, and the explosion of channelers on social media today.
I also share my personal story of channeling an entity called the council of WE — how my voice changed, what it felt like to be overtaken, and why the experience pushed me to cry out to God. Most importantly, you’ll discover what Scripture says about mediums, spirit guides, and counterfeit voices that masquerade as light.
If you’ve ever been curious about channeling, encountered it in new age or new thought spaces, or wondered why so many women are drawn to it, this episode will help you see clearly through a Biblical lens.
