The practice of channeling – a person's body being taken over by a spirit for the purpose of communication – has been around for millennia. There are countless stories of shamen, witch doctors, prophets and others who claim to hear voices or receive some supernatural knowledge from the spirit world. Channelers, also sometimes known as psychic mediums, often use what are called "spirit guides," friendly spirits who give them knowledge and help them on their spiritual journeys.
This week, a look at when women channeled the dead to be heard.

Quote of the week: "I used to think of all the billions of people in the world, and of all those people, how was I going to meet the right ones? The right ones to be my friends, the right one to be my husband. Now I just believe you meet the people you're supposed to meet." - Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, The Quest, 1995
As commander in chief during the American Revolution, Washington acknowledged that there should always be “a sufficient quantity of spirits with the army, to furnish moderate supplies to the troops.”
Ever the enterprising businessman, Washington opened an expansive whiskey distillery in 1797 at the urging of his Scottish farm manager James Anderson. It became one of Mount Vernon’s most profitable ventures.

Quote of the week: "I guess what I'm trying to say is, I don't think you can measure life in terms of years. I think longevity doesn't necessarily have anything to do with happiness. I mean happiness comes from facing challenges and going out on a limb and taking risks. If you're not willing to take a risk for something you really care about, you might as well be dead." - Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Northern Lights, 1993
