Paranormal Q&A: How has the Medium field changed since you became involved?

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question: 

Q: How has the field of being a medium changed since you became involved? 
What do you see for the future of this work?

A: The field has changed and has been more accepted over the last 10 years, with some mediums on television. Interestingly enough, my mother's cousin was a medium who I learned help solve crimes with the police in a town in Massachusetts in the 40s and 50s. Mediums used to be balked at, but now police forces around the country have been more open about using mediums for unsolved crimes.  - I think that's a great place for the future of the work.

I also think that mediums who continue to provide messages to comfort living people is a great service and I think that more people are turning to them for comfort. Police departments will likely continue to use mediums to solve "unsolvable" cases, too.

For Rob Gutro's 5 books on the paranormal, visit: www.amazon.com. All of Rob's books were written to help explain the paranormal, and teach readers how to find signs from spirit.

Part 2: My experience at the Utah Paranormal Expo!

Wonderful time meeting and chatting with attendees

This past weekend I was a speaker and did book signings at the Utah Paranormal Expo. I spoke about my books "Pets and the Afterlife" and "Pets and the Afterlife 2." The talk was well-attended and I talked with a lot of great people.   The expo was quite busy, which was great. I would love to return and speak again!
  A HUGE thanks to Anne and Lawrence, an amazing couple who put it all together.

Lawrence made everything work for everyone!

Come explore the paranormal and journey to the great beyond.

Tarot Tuesday: with Joy Andreasen: the Judgement Card

Today's Tarot Tuesday is the Judgement Card, or XX.

 

Joy Says: Spirit says today is a new day. The person who you used to be is awakening into a new version of your amazing self! It may almost feel as if you are awakened from the dead! Surrender to the process. Let go of what you used to think was the best version of yourself and rise up to the next expression of your soul. It may not look anything like what you expected. It's okay. The Angels are close around to assist you in this transition.

 

Judgement (XX), or in some decks spelled Judgment, is a Tarot card, part of the Major Arcana suit usually comprising 22 cards.

  

Depiction: An angel, possibly Gabriel, is depicted blowing a great trumpet, from which hangs a white flag bearing a red cross. A group of humans of grayish complexion stand, arms spread, are apparently emerging from graves.

 

Meaning: This card is referred to as a time of resurrection and awakening, a time when a period of our life comes to an absolute end making way for dynamic new beginnings.

 

Upright card (keywords): Decision making, Transition, Renewal, Redemption, Awakening, Reincarnation

 

Reversed card (keywords): Stagnation, Self-doubt, Poor logic, Poor or hasty judgement
