Every Tuesday, my friend Joy Andreasen brings us Tarot Tuesday. Today's card is the 3 of Cups.
Joy Says: A celebration may be in order today! Or maybe it is a good day to plan a
get-together with friends. Remember that no matter what you are going
through, your friends are the ones who see you through happy times and
challenging times. Appreciate your tribe today.
ABOUT THE CARD: In the Three of Cups, three young women are dancing with each other in a
circle, raising their cups high in the air in a toast of joy and
celebration. They look to one another with appreciation, honour and
respect, and are bound by their emotional connection and friendship.
There is a sense of lifting each other up and celebrating each woman’s
unique contribution to the group. The ground is layered with flowers,
fruit and a pumpkin, symbolizing the celebration of an abundant harvest
and the goodness in life. Source: Biddytarot.com
BIOGRAPHY: Joy
Andreasen is an author, shamanic practitioner, psychic medium,

Sometimes it's really difficult to know what to say to people who are grieving the loss of a loved one whether it be
a person or pet who passed. Whenever I give my lectures, everyone in the room is grieving for someone. As a medium, finding things to say is a bit easier for me, because I sometimes get messages from spirit at the right time, but for those who don't, I thought this article would help you respond.
Another way you can help them get through their grief is to teach them how spirits communicate from the other side, and how they can recognize signs. That's what my books are about! - So, for people grieving a person, send them "Ghosts and Spirits" or "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead." If they're grieving a pet, send them "Pets and the Afterlife" or "Pets and the Afterlife 2" by Rob Gutro
Now, here are the Six Helpful Things You Can Do/Say if Someone You Know Is Grieving:
Ask, "How are you doing?" Then listen patiently to the
answer without changing the subject or terminating the conversation.
Create a safe space for them to talk about their experience if they
would like to. You might feel honored that they trusted you enough to
give an honest answer if it's something other than "Fine."
Say that you just found out about their loss. Rather than
the obligatory "I'm sorry for your loss," or "I'm sorry that your
marriage didn't work out for you," try this instead: "I can't imagine
what this is like for you," followed by "How are you doing?" Everyone's
grief is different. Even if you've experienced loss, you don't know how
they feel. Let them tell you about it in their own words.
Stay away from offering clichés like, "You were lucky to
have the time you had," "She's with the angels now," etc. It doesn't
help to have you try to rationalize away someone's grief. If you're not
sure what to say, go back to tip #2 above.
"I'd like to help. Would you like me to __________?" Insert
specific tasks that you are willing to do that you think might be
helpful. You could suggest something like "mow the lawn, walk the dog,
watch the baby, sit with you, help you clear the garage," etc. Then show
up and do it if the answer is "Yes." Try to avoid the offhand, "Let me
know if there is anything I can do for you." No one believes you really
mean it and that puts the burden on the griever to think of something
for you to do. They don't have the energy for that.
When someone cries in front of you, all you have to do is
stay put and say something in a soothing voice like, "It's OK....let
that out....I'm here for you." Comforting them with a touch on the arm
or a hug is great too. Just do your best to stay present and don't try
to "fix" it. Don't hand them a tissue unless they ask for it. The tears
will come to a natural completion of their own accord.
Do your best to keep your relationship intact. Avoiding a
grieving person because it's uncomfortable for you to be with them is
hard for them. You can imagine the feelings of isolation they would be
feeling if everyone in their lives reacted this way. It's OK to say the
name of the person that is gone. It's OK to ask what happened. It's OK
to talk about the strangeness of it all. It's even OK to cry in front of
them or with them. Your silence and avoidance is what's really painful.

On Tues., Jan. 15, at the Belmont Manor in Elkridge, Maryland, during the Inspired Ghost Tracking series, I gave my lecture on my latest book ,"The Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation." It was a good crowd and all had an interest in either British history, haunted castles, or ghosts. All three interests were addressed in full, and there were a lot of great questions. - One attendee has the gift of mediumship, another came from England and shared some British experiences, including her stay at Thornbury Castle (part of the book and lecture) where I encountered a ghost in my room!. There was also a veterinarian there, whose female relative came through to me, giving her a confirmation she needed to hear. My thanks to Margaret Erhlich, Inspired Ghost Tracking founder, who ran the powerpoint presentation and came out even battling Bronchitis. Tom, another IGT medium (who helped write and edit the book) was also there providing a lot of royal British Tudor history. All in all, a great event. ABOUT THE BOOK: GHOSTS OF ENGLAND ON A MEDIUM'S VACATION What happens when a medium goes on vacation? Can a medium simply switch
off their ability at will? Well…not exactly. Rob Gutro is a
medium/author/paranormal investigator and a scientist who has written 4
books about his encounters with human and animal ghosts and spirits.
Hever Castle's front gate
In
this book, you will read about his experiences on two separate trips to
the United Kingdom. England’s rich history and many epic battles have
caused an over-abundance of residual emotional energy. Everywhere he
traveled, he had a paranormal experience. He explored royal palaces and
spent the night in haunted castles. He encountered the ghosts of
historical figures including a queen, a prince, and a nobleman; and
several ghosts even shared their pain of death experience with him. On
one occasion, the doppelganger of a loved one provided directions when
he became lost while driving in the countryside due to a malfunctioning
GPS. But not all of his encounters were of the human variety: there was
also a very special visit from a canine ghost. This book is intended to
be more than just a collection of personal ghost stories. In addition to
relating my ghostly encounters, he has also included a short narrative
history of the places where the experiences occurred. After all, knowing
the history of a place is key to understanding why a ghost has decided
to stay behind. So, join Rob as he relates his encounters with the
ghosts of England. Rob has written 4 other books about the paranormal,
two about people (Ghosts and Spirits and Lessons Learned From Talking to
the Dead) and 2 about pets (Pets and the Afterlife and Pets and the
Afterlife 2). The books are available in paperback and e-book on
Amazon.com.
My latest book is called "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation" (by Rob Gutro) and conveys
all of the ghosts I met as I traveled throughout England. There are a
LOT more ghosts in England that I did not (yet) meet, and here is the first of several postings from Devonlive in Devon, U.K about some of them.. - Rob
Did Sir Francis Drake have mystical powers? Does the pirate of Burgh
Island still haunt the place where he was hung on the anniversary of his
death? And were pacts made with the devil which have left a Satanic
chill hovering over these Devon landmarks to this day?
Why Devonians think Sir Francis Drake was a wizard
Both the Spanish and the British believed that Sir
Francis Drake was a wizard who used supernatural methods. The
swashbuckling Elizabethan sea hero helped defeat the Spanish Armada
apparently against all the odds.
After
Drake was knighted by Queen Elizabeth I he took his duties to the
people he represented very seriously. One summer during a particularly
bad drought it is said that he rode up on to Dartmoor until he found a
spring to deliver drinking water to the people of Plymouth.
He is said to have 'bewitched it with magic incantations and then galloped into town with the stream at his heels.
The
stream is still visible as Plymouth leat which rises three miles north
and Sheepstor and threads it was down into a reservoir to the north of
Plymouth.
In places the Devonport Leat appears to travel uphill, which some believed was against the laws of nature.
The leats were designed to carry water, by means of
gravity.The art of the leat builders was a skilled job as they had to
ensure the flow of water was not too fast so as to flood and not to slow
as to stagnate. This was achieved by following the natural contours of
the landscape. On the eastern flank of Beardown where the Devonport Leat
flows down towards Plymouth, a section appears to flow uphill.
Photo: Drake's Leat at Roborough Down (Image: Andrew Hackney) There are still Devonians who believe the spirit of Drake reincarnates with every successive British naval hero.
Even Drake's drum is supposed to have supernatural powers. Drake took the drum with him when he circumnavigated the world.
Shortly before he died he ordered the drum to be taken to Buckland
Abbey and vowed that if England were ever in danger and someone was to
beat the drum he would return to defend the country. According to legend it can be heard to beat at times when England is at war or significant national events take place.
As recently as World War II the drum was said to bang again although many said it was the sound of Ack Ack antiaircraft guns.
Photo: Drake's Drum Now owned by the National Trust, Buckland Abbey was once the home of Sir Francis Drake who is now believed to haunt the Abbey.
After
returning from his three-year circumvention of the globe, Drake was
sold the Abbey in 1580. However the locals believed he possessed
supernatural powers granted to him through a pact with the devil.
According
to reports, Drake’s ghost is said to travel across Dartmoor in a black
coach driven by several headless horses, followed by a pack of howling
hounds. It is also believed that any living dog that hears the packs’
cries will die immediately.
This picturesque Yarcombe Inn pub
was once owned by Drake and is now said to be haunted by his spirit.
The grade II-listed building, on the Devon/Somerset border, dates from
the 14th century. Its other claim to notoriety is that Admiral Lord
Nelson stayed at the inn when he travelled between Portsmouth and
Honiton.

especially if you are a woman. You have much to share with the world,
and you know it. Your wisdom and insight could benefit you and others,
as soon as you own it and claim the recognition you deserve!
ABOUT THE CARD: In the Queen of Pentacles, a woman sits on a stone throne decorated with
carvings of fruit trees, goats, angels and other symbols of material
success and sensual pleasure. She cradles a gold coin with both hands
and looks down on it with loving care, as if to nurture this symbol of
wealth and material success. Luscious plants and flowers surround her,
representing her connection to Mother Earth, nature, and abundance. A
small rabbit jumps near to where she is seated, symbolizing fertility
and suggesting that her life is in flow and alignment. Source: Biddytarot.com

Rob encountered a ghost cat that resembled this one
In Historic Ellicott City, Maryland, there's a ghost cat in a salon. In 2017 I got to investigate the Envy Salon where there are 2 benign ghosts. One is a woman, the other a cat.
During my visit there, I did encounter the ghost cat, but the woman named Catherine stayed away.
Working with Television Producer Tony Hoos of the Howard County
Community College, I was interviewed for a video segment with the
manager of the Envy Salon.
This blog features my experience with the ghost cat, some photos and the great video.
ghost cat was sitting here when Rob approached
ROB'S GHOST CAT EXPERIENCE: I'm Rob Gutro, an author of 5 paranormal books including "Pets and the Afterlife" and "Pets and the Afterlife 2" - so I was called in to help explain the ghost cat in the Envy Salon.
When I entered the salon's first floor area I sensed residual energy there. I also sensed a human ghost although I couldn't see one or get an idea of who they were. I later learned that a ghostly woman haunts the first floor, usually after closing time Apparently, she usually comes out in the evening (and I was there
during the daytime). Catherine is thought to be a former resident of the
structure when it was a home.
Rob saw the ghost cat scamper here on the 2nd floor
As I walked up the stairs to the second floor, I developed my "ghostly headache." I usually get a headache in the back left part of my head in the presence of an Earthbound ghost or spirit who has crossed over and returned for a visit. At the top of the stairs I saw a small hallway that connected rooms with other hair and nail stations. There was a dresser there with a rectangular carpet in front of it. On that carpet, in front of the dresser sat the ghost cat. As soon
Ghost cat was atop these stairs
as I caught a quick glimpse, it darted into the room to the right and vanished.
As I walked around the upstairs, I caught a second glimpse of a small, dark shadow zipping out of that room where I saw the ghost cat enter. The shadow bolted down the stairway to the first floor, just like a scared cat would do!

WHAT'S IN THE 3 MINUTE VIDEO: The Video series "A Few Odd Minutes (in Howard County) published
the video about a Ghost Cat at the Envy Salon in Ellicott City,
Maryland. On this episode, we visit a beauty salon with a couple of "permanent"
guests. One is a ghost named Catherine and the other is a feline friend
that sometimes makes her presence known to the customers. Rob Gutro, author/medium was interviewed about why the cat
may linger.
