Tarot Tuesday: The High Priestess

Here's this week's Tarot lesson from my friend Joy Andrease: The High Priestess

Today is a day when your intuition may be really in tune. You may know or understand things that in the past have eluded you. Female energy is especially strong. Use the power of your inner wisdom to begin to understand mysteries or secrets. Yes there may be secrets that are revealed today or perhaps you just know. You may come into contact with someone who is especially tuned in or intuitive or you may feel led to seek such a person out to help you understand. Now is the time to realize the power of intuition and begin to trust your instincts.

Fact Check: Suicide Victims DO Cross into the Light

Recently I was messaged about a mis-statement made about suicide victims by medium on a national broadcast program. 

WHAT HAPPENED? 

Apparently, a female medium (I don't know who it is) said  "No suicide vicitms crossover."  That's totally incorrect, and is actually dangerous to the people they leave behind. Of course suicide victims cross over. 

WHY WOULD A MEDIUM SAY THAT?

Some mediums hold tight to their religious beliefs that "teach" this ridiculous thought. The medium was influenced by her religion, and not connecting with spirit. 

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A SUICIDE VICTIM PASSES?  

As a medium, I've been told by spirits that they awaken on the other side somewhat confused. They realize what they've done and feel sorry for taking their lives. They also ask forgiveness from their loved ones. It is rare for a suicide victim to stay Earthbound as a ghost, as it is for anyone. In addition, their loved ones in spirit welcome them and encourage them to cross over.

AN EXCEPTION

However, if suicide victims hold strict religious beliefs, they may opt to stay Earth-bound for fear of "hell."  There is, however, no 'hell,' just love and forgiveness on the other side (in the light). I've learned that people who hold fast to their religious beliefs and realize or think they've done something harmful to themselves or someone else during their lifetime, opt to sometimes stay Earthbound as a ghost. 

BOTTOM LINE 

Suicide victims, murder victims and anyone can cross over, and usually they do. So if you hear a medium who says they don't, and cites religion as the reason, the medium is not truly connected to spirit.

Q&A: What to do After Giving Spirit Messages to Non-Believers

Here's a question I received recently:  
Q: What do I do now that I gave a Spirit Message to a Non-Believer?

A:   I've found myself in the same predicament a number of times.  If you get a message and you give it to someone who doesn't believe you. What do you do?
  Well, you've done your job already.  You've passed on the message from the spirit. It's up to the individual for whom it is intended to work with the message, accept it or reject it. Sadly, some people reject messages because they don't want to admit that their loved one has passed. However, as mediums and caring people, you have done what you were asked by the spirit.  I know it's difficult when you're so certain. I've been there.
   My advice is to acknowledge the spirit and tell them that you've done all you can. Then tell them he or she needs to try and reach their loved ones directly in their dreams.
