I see dead people….I’m a medium!

It’s one of the greatest cinematic moments of all time.

That scene in the Sixth Sense when Cole tells Bruce Willis that he can “see dead people.”

I never thought I would be able to possess this gift and I can tell you that for me it’s not like the movies.

My interest in Mediumship came after Tarot and even slightly before I decided to call myself a Witch.

I started out by reading a book by Gordon Smith, a well renowned Scottish medium and soon after I began attending an open circle at a Spiritualist church.

I started with the basics – meditation, sitting in the power and also trying to see if I could deduce things about my tarot clients prior to meeting them.

The messages I’d get were varied and sometimes jumbled.

I’m clairaudient – sometimes I hear a word spoken or a song plays in my head which has  special significance to my client. (My favourite instance of this was when I got “Smooth Criminal” by Michael Jackson regarding a love interest.)

I’m clairvoyant – sometimes I see a picture in my mind’s eye that can be taken literally or symbolically. e.g a field of wheat could mean a client has a farming connection or that it’s time for them to harvest the fruits of their labour.

I’m clairsentient – when doing a reading my favourite phrase is “I feel like…” i.e the cards produce a sensation in me of “just knowing” that something is true, an intuitive knowledge.

However, up until recently I hadn’t really been able to connect with any specific loved ones from the other side.

Honestly, I’d started to doubt whether I could be a Medium at all.

But the other night, during a tarot reading, I had a breakthrough.

I was doing several readings back to back and one of my clients asked me if she could connect with loved ones who had passed.

She didn’t state exactly who she wanted to contact but I said I’d give it a go.

When I laid the cards down and started to describe the sort of woman who was coming through it was clear that I’d connected with her boyfriend’s mother, a woman who in turn was like a mother to my client.

The traits I described seemed to resonate and moths and daddy long legs made themselves known – which I told my client was a sign of this lady in spirit.

Then, with my next client soon afterwards, I was asked to connect with a specific person, this time a grandfather.

As before I laid the cards down and it was obvious that we’d made contact.

But then something amazing happened.

I could actually see this lady’s grandfather in my mind’s eye!

I didn’t have my eyes closed but I could see his face as clearly as if he was sitting in front of me.

I was able to confirm that he had a tooth missing and was holding a bunch of daffodils (which my client told me were her grandma’s favourite).

Everything I said my client was able to confirm and I was touched by how emotional the experience was for her.

Her grandfather was laughing and smiling and being able to pass on this information was such a joy.

I left that reading feeling uplifted and more sure of my path in life.

The work I do with spirit is both a privilege and an act of service.

This is my soul’s purpose.
