Tarot Tuesday: Are You Avoiding a Challenge?

 Here's this week's Tarot lesson from my friend Joy Andreasen: Face the Challenge 

Is there something going on you are avoiding facing? Closing your eyes to an emotional situation is no way to deal with it. It will not just go away in its own. You have closed yourself off from this for awhile now and Spirit says it is time to open your eyes and face this issue head on. Open your heart and mind to the best possible outcome for everyone concerned and surrender your ideas of how you think it should turn out. Sometimes the best possible outcome is not what you think.

Roman Feast of Lemuria: Ghosts Walked Around

In ancient Roman times, this day, May 9th and two others, marked a day the dead would walk around. It was called Lemuria, and was recognized on three days, May 9, 11 and 13.

ghosts were said to walk with ancient romans on Lemuria

 WHAT HAPPENED ON THESE DAYS? The days when the ghosts of the dead were out and about and Romans tried to keep them happy by walking barefoot and throwing black beans over one's shoulder at night. The head of each household had to do this nine times at midnight. The rest of the household would clash metal pots and tell the ghosts of the ancestors to go away.

Great Event on Spirit Signs at Imagine Yoga!

On Wednesday, May 3, I gave a talk about how to recognize signs from loved ones from the afterlife.  It was a full house!
  If you live in Maryland, Imagine Yoga and Wellness Center at 3120 Belair Dr, Bowie, MD has classes in Yoga, Reiki, Past Life Regressions, Crystals and more. I was honored to give a talk there. My thanks to Jen, Linda and the staff for asking me to come.

A PREVIOUS PAST LIFE REGRESSION SESSION - Previously I attended a past life regression session at Imagine Yoga and it was amazing. Since we've all likely been here before, it's worth looking into one of those sessions. If you're attracted to some time in history or some place you've never been, it's likely you've lived there before in a previous life. For more information about Imagine Yoga:   Tel. 443-510-6308 www.imaginetheplace.com/










AN INTERESTING TIME - During the 90 minutes I was there, explained how to look for signs from the other side to prove our loved ones are still around us. I talked about how the logical mind dismisses signs from spirits and how spirits use electronics, nature, look- a-likes, and scents to communicate with us. 

There were many great questions and many people had experiences, from seeing look alikes of people or pets who passed, to electronic disruptions, feeling the presence of a loved one's spirit around them, hearing music when there was none, and more. The thing that makes giving these talks interesting are the personal experiences from the folks who come to the talks, and there were many that evening. The bottom line is that everyone has these experiences and they should never be discounted or dismissed.

A Medium's Challenge: it's Sometimes Hard to Distinguish Parent vs. Grandparent

Grandparent vs. parent - which one in spirit?

As a medium, that is, someone who gets messages from the dead, either people or pets, it can be a challenge sometimes to distinguish between a Parent vs. Grandparent.

That's because if the grandparent was so loving and close to the person getting a reading, mediums may see them as parents. Case in point, my husband used to stay at his grandparents' house over the summer months every year as a kid. So, for those months, they were like parents to him. When a medium does a reading and sees an older woman or man coming through for him, they may identify his grandparents as "parents." Why? Because they were actually acting like his parents over the summer months for years.

How mediums wouldn't be confused is if the child didn't live with the grandparents, or of they had a somewhat distant relationship. In my case, one set of my grandparents were not close to me and my brothers. We never stayed over their house, they never cooked for us or took us anywhere. They were older and just wanted to live their lives without grandchildren around (it happens). So a medium like me would definitely identify them as grandparents because they're a step away from my actual parents.

Being a medium and getting messages or trying to figure out the identities of those in spirit is not an easy job. It's not like calling someone on Skype and asking their relationship. Sometimes mediums "See" the person in their minds (as I do) and feel a maternal or grandmaternal sense to identify them. Mediumship is a puzzle we have to put together, and we can only do that with the help from the person who is getting the message.

Tarot Tuesday: The Death Card: Let Something Go

Here's this week's Tarot lesson from my friend Joy Andreasen: The death card: Let Something Bad Go... 

Today is a day to completely and finally let something or someone go out of your experience. So many times we allow toxic relationships or experiences to last way longer than they should. Every time we live a painful memory over and over in our head we are keeping it alive. Let it go. You know that old saying.. if you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it is yours. Today may be the day to say a final goodbye. Mourn the   loss of what you loved, and set it free and set yourself free.

Glen Grant's "Chick'n Skin" Paranormal Show (6 min video)

Last week I told you about Glen Grant from Hawaii's Paranormal community. A great storyteller and paranormal advocate. This is another episode from his 1990s Hawaii broadcast television show called "Chick'n Skin" (as in goosebumps that you experience in the presence of a ghost). Glen passed in 2003, but left these chilling stories behind.
