How it's used
Refers specifically to someone who acts as a bridge between the living and the spirit world. It is a formal term often seen in news reports or supernatural discussions rather than casual daily conversation. When speaking informally, people might use more descriptive phrases like 睇相嘅 or 師傅 depending on the specific practice.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 靈感, which means inspiration or a flash of insight. Learners sometimes mistakenly use 靈媒 to describe a person who is very creative or intuitive, but it strictly refers to the spiritual role.
