Some people who channel have control and others do not. Most of the people I know who channel do not have control. In Wicca the most common form of channeling is "Calling Down the Moon" - in which the HPS invites the Goddess to take over her body. I have seen this done in several different ways - most common is that the Goddess will relate to the HPS some information that she is to pass on to the Coven. Then their are times when the Goddess takes control of the HPS and gives out the information herself. One of the most interesting times was when a two year old girl was taken over - the little girl was fussy and wanted the attention of the HPS and was killing the mood. The HPS picked up the girl and at that moment she changed - she asked for my wand and when it was given to her, had the HPS carry her around to each person and blessed them. She then returned the wand and got down from the HPS and was once again a two year old.
The TV show, Crossing Over with John Edward's, is a good look at channeling. The way he acts is the normal way it is when people who passed over want to leave a message to someone on this side. They will not come right out and say what they want, they give hints and clues. I think this is to make sure that the person on this side getting the information is the right person.
How can you channel - open yourself up... welcome the sprits to speak via you. There are some people who will not be able to channel because of one thing or another and others who have a hard time not channeling.
There can also be group channeling. I think you need a special type of channeler to do this. We were doing a study group on channeling and the next thing we knew everyone in the group was at the aftermath of massacre on Native Americans in the 1800’s. It was very strange and the next day one of the people involved brought in pictures of the first Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890 where 150 - 300 Lakota Sioux were killed by the U.S. Army mostly unarmed men, women, and children.
