Medianimity – The faculty of mediums. Synonymous with mediumship. These words are often employed interchangeably; if one wants to make a distinction, one may say that mediumship has a more general meaning and medianimity a more restricted one: someone has the gift of mediumship. Mechanical medianimity.
