https://www.facebook.com/psychiclifestyles https://twitter.com/PLifestyles Some of the best things about fall are the sights sounds and smells.

There are many things to see in fall.

The leaves on trees and plants are extremely colorful and beautiful, there is a giant array of Halloween decorations all around, and the sky is either a gorgeous kind of cloudy or nice and clear. On any given day you can hear wind or rain and fallen leaves scraping across the ground. There are so many different smells that you can barely keep track. You can smell pies and carved pumpkin, or the smell of everyones Thanksgiving food.

We celebrate Samhain, Day of the Dead, Halloween, and All Saints Day. It’s a wonderful time to honor the dead, and to get together with your “live” friends and family at Thanksgiving.

We have changed the name of our publication to better reflect who we are. We are now Psychic Lifestyles instead of Psychic Guidepost. Our lifestyles is what we celebrate and we hope to bring you many good articles

This quarter we’ll be starting a radio show to discuss contents in the magazine, spirituality, manifestation, divination, lifestyles of people in the “psychic business,” and a host of other topics. We hope to have great guests in the future. So please be sure to tune in at least once a month at www. blogtalkradio.com/psychiclifestyles.

We are proud to present an article

by Sonia Choquette, who explains how breath is spirit and how to harness that power.

Also Tim Woodsworth article about Edsion is facinating, as he describes Thomas Edison’s interest in creating a box that would communicate with the dead.

Birthstones and their meanings

by Cristina

D

iamonds are a girl’s best friend, but so would be a collection of other fabulous gems that are considered birthstones. Some people would disagree of the type of gem associated with birthstones. Some say the ruby is the January gem, or that the Alexandite is the June gemstone. I so prefer the pearls for June, perhaps because that is my gem, and I love pearls and everything associated with them, including the beach.

depression/sadness or grief and to protect against nightmares. It was also believed to relieve liver diseases as well as hemorrhages. It is believe that Noah used a finely cut, glowing garnet to light up the ark during those dark wet days. In old Christian traditions, the garnet was considered a symbol of Christ’s blood-red sacrifice. The gem was also thought to be potent against poisons.

Birth gems have power! Not only do they provide the owner healing powers, but they dazzle the imagination with the stories, myths and legends behind these special stones.

February – amethyst. It is said to strengthen relationships and give its wearer courage. At one time, only royalty could wear the gem.

Ancient Greeks thought that the amethyst guarded against intoxication. In fact, amethyst comes from amethystos, a Greek word meaning “sober.”

Below is a look at birthstones and why they are so special.

January- Garnet: This gem brings to the cold winter month a spark of fire. This gem represents friendship, loyalty and sincerity, it is a month were people get together to bond and gain warmth from each other. It is said it has the power to ensure good health throughout the winter and to protect it’s owner during a long journey.

There are several ancient legends surrounding the garnet. In medieval times it was believed to cure

According to legend, the amethyst originated with Bacchus, the God of Wine, grew angry at mortals. He vowed the next mortal that crossed his path would be eaten by tigers.

At that time, a beautiful young maiden named Amethyst was on her way to worship the Goddess Diana. Diana knowing of Bacchus vow, turned Amethyst into a pillar of colorless quartz to protect her from the tigers. Bacchus witnessing the miracle, backtracked and

poured wine over Amethyst staining her purple.

Other legends say this gem can control evil thoughts, help with addictions, and assist hunters in the capture of animals. It also is a good luck gem for those doing business dealings.

March- Aquamarine, was thought to cure heart, liver, and stomach diseases—all one had to do was drink the water in which the gem had been soaking. Early sailors believed that aquamarine talismans, etched with the likeness of the sea god Neptune, protected them against ocean dangers. Particularly seasickness.

It is said the gem originated in the ancient treasure chests of timeless mermaids. Chests would overflow with the aqua blue brilliance and light up the mermaid caverns. It is called the sailor’s lucky stone because it has spent so much time at sea. The Greeks and Romans believed the stone ensured a safe and prosperous journey and passage through stormy seas.

April –Diamond. The diamond, originally thought to have exceptional healing abilities, was considAutumn Issue 2015

9

ered by some in past millenniums to be a “miracle stone.” A large variety of healing properties have been attributed to the diamond, including the ability to cure stomachaches, memory loss, depression, physical tiredness, infections, mental illnesses, nightmares, skin diseases, and many other head and heart ailments.

The ancient Romans and Greeks had a lot of powerful beliefs about diamonds, including ideas that diamonds were the tears of the gods or possibly even splinters that had broken off of falling stars. Roman literature, which first made mention of diamonds in the first century AD, also stated that Cupid’s irresistible arrows were tipped with diamonds. Classical Greek philosopher Plato went even further to write about diamonds as living beings that embodied celestial spirits.

May- Emerald. I consider this to be a ravishing gem. It was considered to be one of Cleopatra’s favorite. (It probably went well with all her gowns). This birthstone has been associated with fertility, rebirth, and love. Ancient Romans went so far as to dedicate this stone to Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. Today, it is thought that emeralds signify wisdom, growth, and patience.

There are legends saying, whosoever wears the emerald has the ability to see the future by placing the gem under the tongue. This practice reveals truth and protects the owner against evils spells and hexes. This gem was hailed for curing diseases like cholera and malaria, at least that is what the ancients believed. It is also believed that when you wear an emerald it cures you from stage fright and makes you an eloquent speaker.

June- The Pearl. I personally believe this is one of the most elegant gems. A good set of pearls could dress up a tie-dyed T-shirt and torn jeans. Long known as a symbol of purity. It represented the magical moon in little pockets of darkness. The Ancient Greeks believed, that pearls were the hardened tears of joy from Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Some believed they were the hard tears of mermaids who wanted to explore land and have legs.

An ancient Chinese tale tells of a boy who found a miraculous pearl. He 10

Psychic Lifestyles

would place the pearl in a jar with just a little rice and the next day the jar would be full of rice. When the neighbors found out about this and tried to force their way in to steal the pearl, the boy swallowed the pearl to protect it. He was turned into a dragon. To this day, dragons in Chinese art are often depicted with pearls, the jewels that they are protecting.

July-The Ruby: This dazzling red gem was regarded by ancient Hindus as the “king of gems.” It was believed to protect its wearer from evil. It is a gem of opulence and it was believed the owner created even more wealth when he possessed this gem. Today, the ruby’s deep-red color signifies love and passion.

According to legends, if you placed a ruby into water it was thought to make the water boil. If you hid it in a wrap, it would shine through and show its presence. Many felt that a ruby could serve as a torch and light up in the darkness. The darker rubies were considered to be male, while the lighter rubies were female. It didn’t really matter the sex of the ruby, the fact was the owner would feel physically and mentally healthy wearing it. He would have power as all evils are controlled and wearing it gave the body warmth.

August-The Peridot - This brilliant stone is known for symbolizing strength. It is sometimes called the evening emerald for its light green olive color. It was once believed that the green Peridot crystals found in volcanic ashes were the tears of the volcano goddess, Pele. When set in gold, this gem was said to protect the wearer from nightmares. The advantages of the Periot is that it attracts love, sooths the nerves and calms anger.

Egypt’s national gem, the peridot was brought to Europe by the Crusaders to decorate cathedrals. One famous large peridot gem adorning the shrine of the Three Holy Kings in the cathedral at Cologne was for centuries, believed to be an emerald, and only identified as peridot late in the last century. A few jewelry historians are now convinced that some, maybe all of the emeralds Cleopatra was famous for wearing, were not actually emeralds, but Peridots from Egypt.

September-The Sapphire. The name alone, “sapphire” bring sweet images of magic, or sensuality. I think anyone wearing sapphires must be feeling pretty sexy, yet, the gem symbolizes purity and wisdom and was a favorite of priests and kings. It was once thought to guard against evil and poisoning. It was believed that a venomous snake would die if placed in a vessel made of sapphire.

The Greeks identified the sapphire with Apollo. If you were going to consult one of the Oracles of Delphi (psychic readers of the times) it was believed you would have a powerful reading if you wore a sapphire.

The gem had the power to tap into the “third eye.” A wizard or magician was thought to be found of this stone for it’s ability to influence spirits or make something more clear. So if you are going to go to a séance bring a sapphire for a more powerful experience.

October-The Opal. This gems shows all it’s colors.

It’s like the tie-die of all gems. IT comes in a rainbow of colors. It symbolizes faithfulness and confidence.

The word comes from the Latin opalus, meaning “precious jewel.” Necklaces with opals set in them were worn to repel evil and to protect eyesight.

Throughout the world the opal has been credited with supernatural origins and powers. In Arabic legends, they say it feel from the heavens in flashes of lightening. The ancient Greeks believed opals gave the owner the gift of prophesy and guarded them from disease.

12

Psychic Lifestyles

Europeans, starting with the Romans consider the gem one of hope, purity and truth.

November - The Topaz. Just the name alone invokes excitement, anticipation. It’s an inviting gem, a sort of “open says-a-me” of all gems. It symbolizes love and affection. It is believed to give the wearer increased strength and intellect.

It was believed that if you wore a Topaz it would make you invisible, you could conquer your enemies or hide, while being able to watch what is going on around you. Worn on the left arm, a topaz amulet protected its wearer from dark magic and greed of others, relieved the pain of arthritis, regulated the digestive system, aided in weight loss, and attracted love. In potions, it was thought to cure a wide range of ailments.

December – The Turquoise. Do not under estimate the power of the turquois, it is regarded as a powerful love charm. It is also a symbol of good fortune and success, and it is believed to relax the mind and to protect its wearer from harm. Turquoise rings, in particular, are thought to keep away evil spirits.

Aztec kings, Arabic royalty and the Afghanistan Empire all valued the royal blue and softness of this gem.

There are many Native American tales about turquois.

A Zuni legend relates the story of Turquoise Man and Salt Woman. They went away from the People, because they did not feel they were valued enough.

Turquoise Man said, “His flesh was simply given out

to women for sexual favors.” He was offended that he was being used for trade or money, particularly among the white strangers that took over the land.

Salt Woman had bigger issues, which culminated in an annual pilgrimage by her people to retrieve salt from the sacred lake where she ultimately hid out.

What is Samhain?

14

Psychic Lifestyles

Samhain is not the name of some Celtic God of Death

S

amhain is known by most folks as Halloween, but for many modern Pagans it’s considered a Sabbat to honor the ancestors who came before us, marking the dark time of the year. It’s a good time to contact the spirit world with a seance, because it’s the time when the veil between this world and the next is at its thinnest.

Myths and Misconceptions:

Contrary to a popular Internet-based (and Chick Tract-encouraged) rumor, Samhain was not the name of some ancient Celtic god of death, or of anything else, for that matter.

Pagan Spells

Religious scholars agree that the word Samhain (pronounced “sow-en”) comes from the Gaelic “Samhuin,” but they’re divided on whether it means the end or beginning of summer. After all, when summer is ending here on earth, it’s just beginning in the Underworld. Samhain actually refers to the daylight portion of the holiday, on November 1st.

All Hallow Mass:

Around the eighth century or so, the Catholic Church decided to use November 1st as All Saints Day. This was actually a pretty smart move on their part – the local pagans were already celebrating that day anyway, so it made sense to use it as a church holiday. All Saints’ became the festival to honor any saint who didn’t already have a day of his or her own. The mass which was said on All Saints’ was called Allhallowmas – the mass of all those who are hallowed. The night before naturally became known as All Hallows Eve, and eventually morphed into what we call Halloween.

The Witches’ New Year:

Sunset on Samhain is the beginning of the Celtic New Year.

The old year has passed, the harvest has been gathered, cattle and sheep have been brought in from the fields, and the leaves have fallen from the trees. The earth

slowly begins to die around us.

This is a good time for us to look at wrapping up the old and preparing for the new in our lives. Think about the things you did in the last twelve months. Have you left anything unresolved? If so, now is the time to wrap things up. Once you’ve gotten all that unfinished stuff cleared away, and out of your life, then you can begin looking towards the next year.

Honoring the Ancestors:

For some of us, Samhain is when we honor our ancestors who came before us. If you’ve ever done genealogy research, or if you’ve had a loved one die in the past year, this is the perfect night to celebrate their memory. If we’re fortunate, they will return to communicate with us from beyond the veil, and offer advice, protection and guidance for the upcoming year.

If you want to celebrate Samhain in the Celtic tradition, spread the festivities out over three consecutive days. You can hold a ritual and feast each night. Be flexible, though, so you can work around trick-or-treating schedules!

Samhain Rituals:

Try one -- or all -- of these rituals to celebrate Samhain and welcome the new year.

Celebrating the End of the Harvest Samhain Ritual for Animals Honoring the Ancestors Hold a Seance at Samhain Honor the God and Goddess at Samhain Celebrating the Cycle of Life and Death Ancestor Meditation

Halloween Traditions:

Even if you’re celebrating Samhain as a Pagan holiday, you may want to read up on some of the traditions of the secular celebration of Halloween: Black Cats Jack O’Lanterns Trick or Treating

Samhain actually refers to the daylight portion of the holiday on Nov. 1.

How to Honor Ancestors

P

lease remember to always treat them with respect. Keep your altar clean and if you really don’t have time once a week for a small service to them then wait until you do have the time. You can give them a small candle or a vigil, some smoke and a cool glass of water. If you have graveyard dirt from their graves a small amount can be placed on their altar. They should be given special treat at least once a month; this can be something that they really loved in life. If they had a special flower, fruit, cake, perfumes, or maybe a favorite song, try to share these things with them.

Don’t just go to them when you need something, after a while they will began to feel used. Wouldn’t you? ; If someone called only when they needed something from you. Show them the same respect you want for yourself!

Honoring the Ancestors What you do is approach the altar, knock three times, call on the ancestors and tell them who you are. You then tell them why you have come (to 16

Psychic Lifestyles

honor them). Then you pick up your glass and add water to it, hold the glass to your heart, head then up above your head, say something like I offer you this water to quench your thirst. Do the same thing with the whiskey, candle, the cigar and a piece of bread. Talk a bit out of the bread and say “I share this meal with you my beloved ancestors”.

Talk to them for a while, tell them how you miss them, and have not forgotten them. Ask your ancestors for their blessing in your daily life ask them to help you have good health, love, and prosperity. Then light a white candle for them dressed with blessing oil. You then say a prayer for them.

questions; how did this person live in life, were they honorable, (this is very important because you don’t want to work with a trickster), did they have a strong will, or were the weak of mind with no backbone.

Loyalty is very important, just as if you were choosing someone as a friend. They will become very close to you.

Into your hands, O Lord, we humbly entrust our brothers and sisters.

In this life you embraced them with your tender love; deliver them now from every evil and bid them enter eternal rest.

The old order has passed away: welcome them then into paradise, where there will be no sorrow, now weeping nor pain, but the fullness of peace and joy with your Son and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever.

R/.Amen.

When you are finished clap your hands and tell them to go in peace, thank them for coming to you when you called on them.

The service above is just the basic service; you can add too it and put your personal touch on it. The main thing is to honor your ancestors at least once a week. Below is a prayer you can use, if you would like too.

Working with Spirits The first thing I think we need to discuss is working with a spirit. You need to understand this before you try to work with any spirits. It is important for us to remember that the way the person lived his live, is the same way the spirit will be. So if someone in life was mean and vile, then their spirit will be mean and vile in death. Just because someone has passed on doesn’t mean they have changed. The spirit is full of power, a very strong entity; you should always show respect to the spirit.

We as a people tend to only remember the good things people have done in their lives, once the have passed on; but when you are working with a spirit it is very important that you remember the whole picture. It is not really that hard to understand, use your common sense when you choose a spirit to work with. Ask your self some basic

You should always be on your guard when you are working with any kind of spirit. There are some who will try to trick you and lie to you. I personally prefer to work with spirits I know, like my spiritual protector, my ancestors, BlackHawk, and the Saints. I have found them to be very safe. I was taught that before you do any type of spiritual work that you first called on your spiritual guide, spiritual protector, and your ancestors for your protection when dealing with spirits.

A story of a Love Spell

O

ne of the topics I get asked about the most, be it as a psychic or a witch, is romance. A large portion of these queries regard love spells.

Do they work? How do you do them? Should you do them? Well let me tell you my thoughts by sharing with you my personal experience of them.

A little over 4 years ago, in the Winter of 2010 I decided it was time I started looking for a serious relationship again. I’d been separated from my previous husband for 4 years, but was still only 27. I’d dated, I had got my life together, I had two wonderful kids... now all I wanted was someone to share it with.

In the Winter of 2010 there was a Blue Moon, this is when there is either a 2nd full moon in a calender month, or more traditionally a 4th full moon in a season. These are seen as a time of heightened power to do any sort of manifestation work. I decided if I was 22

Psychic Lifestyles

By Lily Oak going to bring witchcraft into husband hunting, this would be the time to do it.

The method of spell casting I chose was to charge a flower bulb. After preparing my altar, casting a circle and calling deities, I whispered to the bulb everything I wanted in a husband. “Caring, artistic, good with children, loves being outdoors, looks a bit like a Viking.” At this point you will notice that I am not casting the spell upon a specific person, or altering anyone’s feelings or free will. I was magically petitioning for someone with these qualities, who would find equally desirable qualities in me, to come into my life.

The following day I went for a walk in some local woodland I favoured and planted the bulb. At this

politeness of course. After Gordon introduced himself he apologised for almost being late, it turned out he’d driven over to Newcastle all the way from Cumbria.

I asked him why he came so far and he said he’d just seen the group online and we looked friendly, and he lived in a really rural area, so had to drive a long way to get anywhere. “Oh,” I said “what do you do?”

“I work as an outdoor instructor for kids” came the reply.

“Really?” I went on as my mind zoomed back to that bluebell in the woods. “So are you a member of any other pagan groups?”

“Oh yeah!” He answered “I’m doing the Bardic course with the OBOD!”

point I should point out that it was a native British bluebell species, so I wasn’t having any negative impact on the local ecology. I also collected some litter whilst I was on my walk, as a way of thanking the woodland for it’s help in my magical endeavours. Then there was nothing left to do but wait.

Skip forward to Eostara of 2011. I was leading an open ritual in Newcastle, it was a large group and the regular attendees took turns to lead the rituals. The day before I was still weighing up what to include in the ritual so went for a walk to think. As I wandered in the woodland I got curious and went over to the spot where I’d planted the bulb back in Winter. I smiled to myself to see a tall bluebell stem covered in flowers. I decided to take inspiration from there. Given that it was the start of Spring I thought I’d buy a big bag of mixed Summer flowering bulbs, and have everyone hold them whilst we did a meditation on what we wanted to manifest in our lives by the time they flowered.

Skip to April of 2014. Gordon and I walked up a hill to a stone circle together and were married in front of all our friends and family. It was one of the happiest days of my life, and I remember thinking I had everything I ever wanted.

Now please don’t read this and assume that because I used magic in my quest for romance, our relationship is all sunshine and rainbows. At no point in my whisperings did I say “someone who always agrees with me, someone who does what I want without question, someone who never challenges me.” If I had of said those things I would have ended up with a painfully boring potential partner, or no partner at all

We were expecting a few new people that night, they’d said they were coming on the groups online forum, and I’d managed to introduce myself to most of them before the ritual started. Just as I was starting I noticed someone slipping in at the last minute, a man in his mid twenties with a short beard and long blonde hair.

A hedge witch is very much a free spirit. Hedge witches are also related to the village witches of old. The term, hedge witch, comes from the fact that your average European village, in time gone by, was surrounded by a hedge or woods. Beyond that hedge was unknown land, beyond their known perception... i.e. the Other World.

The village witches of this era usually lived just beyond or just before this hedge. The hedge was a metaphor for some one who practiced shamanic arts, a walker between the worlds. as that may have pushed me over the edge and into the realm of trying to manifest things that are ridiculous, like when people do spells for Ferraris, or unicorns.

Also, notice I said “potential partner”, magic favours the bold. Had Gordon walked into my life and I had totally ignored him when we met, or given up and refused to compromise upon our first disagreement, we would not have the relationship we do today.

So when people ask me if love spells work, I can confidently answer “yes”. However, they have to be used in the right way, and you have to put in some good old fashioned charm and flirtation once magic opens the right door for you. Magic will not control the mind of someone for you, it will not change who a person is, it will not absolve you of all personal emotional risk taking and interaction. What it can do is line up your path with the right person and give you an opportunity for love, whether or not you take that opportunity is very much up to you.

You take a picture and an unexplainable shadow shows up. Could there be spirits among you? Someone trying to contact you? Could it be your own spirit guide or angel?

Perhaps it is someone you know who has passed on and is trying to communicate? At other times you may feel a sort of overwhelming presence, a feeling that someone, or someone you know is right there with you. A feeling that is so strong

However, I believe some spirits or ghosts may come back from time to time to watch over a loved one, or help them go through their grieving process.

that you could swear it is true! That a ghost or someone you’ve known and loved is sitting in the same room with you. If you are feeling spirits among you, they could be of the following types.

Ghosts First there is no need to be afraid. Spirits of people who have passed on are just left over energy. They still live because a soul cannot die. Ghosts or spirits may be stuck between the memories of their living selves and portal to the afterlife. Famous ghost hunter Hans Holzer wrote, “A ghost is a human being who has passed out of the physical body, usually in a traumatic state and is not aware usually of his true condition. We are all spirits encased in a physical body. At the time of passing, our spirit body continues into the next dimension. A ghost, on the other hand, due to trau-

If you are walking into a strange house and pick up on ghosts, that’s one thing. These ghosts are all harmless, and it’s usually your own fear that feeds a spirit that has been stuck due to a traumatic incident.

Seeing a strange ghost can be an unsettling and even frightening experience, but as long as you know they cannot physically harm you, then you always have the power over them and can begin to listen to what they want to tell you. Mediums have a gift for connecting to the other side, but I’m convinced we all have these psychic gifts and we can connect through meditation and practice.

Departed souls If you’ve lost someone then being open is key to receiving any messages. The signs of the departed soul come in a little differently.

They don’t just haunt a place and they may not always stay with you.

But someone who has crossed over maybe sending you a message that they are okay and that there is life Autumn Issue 2015

27

or even their voice calling your name comes in loud and clear. Or you could suddenly feel them touch you, your shoulder or cheek. All these are signs the departed soul is letting you know they are okay, still alive and waiting to join with you again. They are simple messages to let you know they are still around.

Spirit guides/Angel Spirit guides are highly evolved beings who we choose before we are born to help nudge us on this spiritual path we are on. They are disembodied beings whose soul’s purpose is to keep us alive until our human contract is done and of course to guide us along the way. You feel your spirit guide through “gut feelings” – your spirit guide is gives you that nagging feeling that you should have gone another way, or when you know not to trust someone and you do it anyway. This gut feeling is something you must pay attention to because it keeps you on your highest path.

We tend to ignore our gut feeling a lot. Which is why we end up in the predicaments we do.

Another way a spirit guide connects with you is by sending you the “signs” – little synchronistic events.

These events by no way tell you what to do, instead they are designed to get you to pay attention so you can make the right decision or choice. For example a synchronistic event could be you hearing the same song, three times in one day, pay close attention to the words, your guide is trying to tell you something.

Your spirit guide may also bring people into your life to help you along with something. It’s probably your spirit guide who brought you someone to fix your flat tire just when you needed help.

after death.

The strongest sign that someone is with you is when you sense their presence. You might notice a change in energy or the air, or your own heart pounding a little faster just feeling them around. You may even go so far as to look around the room to see if you can catch a glimpse of them.

They may come to you in a dream, or you may receive phone calls from unknown numbers with static on the other end. You may also walk into a room and suddenly smell them, their scent could come in strongly, 28

There are spirits around us all the time. Some here to guide us, some here to send us a message, and others to comfort us. Our multidimensional universe has more than enough room to spare for all spirits so don’t be surprised when you get a little nudge from one of them.

How Spells Work

by Raven Digitalis

itches and magicians often use a “layer cake” structure for describing the levels that “active” or “operative” magick and spellcraft work on. One example is as follows, and is a simple way of viewing the various composite forces at work. Keep in mind that this is not a definitive list of the mechanisms of magick or the cosmos. One can only truly realize how and why magick works through experience and contemplation. This list is only a brief glimpse of magickal components, and can be deconstructed, dissected, and reconstructed in a million ways—and probably should be!

Physical plane – Physically gathering the components 30

Psychic Lifestyles

of a working, and performing the working on the mundane or manifest plane. The physical plane is strictly the material used in the spell. This material includes any and every physical factor, including the color of robes one is wearing, the gestures being used, the incense being burned, the words being said, or the current phase of the moon. Again, these are merely physical; the magick and metaphysical properties behind the correspondences are nonphysical. The physical plane also represents the magician’s work associated with the magick within the physical plane (be it physically ritualizing the intention or following it up in physical reality—i.e. casting a spell for a new job still requires the person to submit résumés to employers) and represents the potential—or likelihood—for it to spring into existence. (In other words, the goal must not be impossible or highly unattainable.)

Mental plane – Using thoughtforms, visualizations, and other mentally-constructed components. Thoughts create reality, and accurately projecting intention through the mind encourages other planes to follow suit. Visualization is hugely important in spellcraft because the mind is the force that thinks things into existence. Shifting one’s mind encourages the other planes to manifest accordingly. Magick follows intention.

Emotional plane – Utilizing one’s emotional body to send forth a spell’s energy. Truly desiring change helps it naturally manifest and gives a working both spiritual and creative power. This is the bridge between thoughts and unseen energy, and is the spark of the divine within us. Emotions dictate our actions, thoughts, and perceptions, and casting spells aligned to the emotional body bridges the gap between the higher and lower spheres.

Etheric plane – Working with the web of nearmanifest energy which links all things in existence.

The ether exists in all things physical, yet is nonphysical itself (such as the aura of the human body). I view planetary energies as etheric in nature, whereas the planets’ actual placement itself is physical (astronomical), much like the elements themselves (Earth, Air, Fire, and Water) are physical items that also carry an etheric essence.

Astral plane – Working with the abstract. The astral plane is greatly symbolic in nature, and tapping into humankind’s wellspring of associations draws upon cosmic energy. These associations can be seen in the Qabalistic Tree of Life, amongst other units of association. Gods exist and “come to life” on the astral plane, seeing as they are created constructs of human experience. Abstract symbolism and associations draw upon the astral plane: the unconscious “group mind.”

Spiritual plane – The ultimate plane of unity; the source of all things. Terms such as destiny, Karma, Gnosis, Kether, Spirit, Oneness, and godhood are all used to describe this. The spiritual plane is the ultimate paradox, as it is everything and nothing simultaneously. The spiritual plane encompasses our individual Karma as well as cosmic destiny. This plane affirms that all is God. Spellcraft taps into this force of

creation and destiny to encourage manifestation and change on all levels.

When casting, one must suspend strict rationality and disbelief to some extent, but mustn’t view the process as something based purely in fantasy and imagination. If a person casts a spell with a heavy amount of uncertainty, fear, anxiety, moral dilemma, or is unfocused while doing so, they will indeed get the same in return. In all ways, you get what you give, and this holds true for spellcraft. If one knows, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that their magick “works,” it will in fact do just that. Magick greatly Autumn Issue 2015

spirituality, spellcraft and is a vital tool for sparking significant life change. And when you attune your magick to planetary energies, it becomes infinitely more powerful.

Organized by the Sun, Moon, and planets, each of the 55 spells and rituals in this book are aligned according to astrological energies and designed to be easily customized for your specific intention and unique spiritual path. From personal growth to practical concerns, you’ll find a rich variety of dark and light magickal workings for every purpose.

Available now at Amazon http://amzn.to/1NXdMLi revolves around intention and the knowledge of a working’s success.

(Spellcraft does not, of course, revolve around the “recipe” alone.)

Though successful spellcraft boils down to intention, intention is not the only factor that deserves attention in the process. For example, let’s say that Billy wanted to perform a spell for money. For the spell, he is to light a green candle, put herbs associated with money at its base, and write the outcome with dragon’s blood ink on parchment. However, let’s say Billy only had a black candle, belladonna, and bat’s blood ink available as tools. If he were to substitute the black candle for the green one, belladonna for the “abundance” herbs, and bat’s blood for dragon’s blood, the spell would be likely to fail simply because the ingredients were not aligned 32

Psychic Lifestyles

to the purpose. However, if he were to observe the necessity of aligningtools to purpose, he could modify the spell by using the black candle to banish debt and the belladonna to absorb the sadness associated with not having enough.

He could then write the name of the illness (and its associated woes) with the bat’s blood, and finish the spell by burning the paper and throwing the herbs and candle stub off the side of a bridge. (Certainly, it would be advisable for him to also perform manifestation magick to fill the energetic hole of that which was banished.)

In the above example of a simple spell, we helped Billy use what he had to modify the spell for his purposes. It’s essential to have a realization of correspondences and project one’s intention through those

correspondences to magnify and amplify the magick. If everything you are using is aligned to the purpose at hand, including the spell’s herbs, stones, colors, spirits, guides, gods, or guardians being summoned, the current astrological configuration, the stage of the moon, and so on, the only missing ingredients are intention, focus, and willpower.

Finally, one must follow up their magick with real-life action.

Spells, no matter how involved and complex, are not a substitute for mundane action. The mundane plane is where our physical bodies operate and where we can best assist in the manifestation of magickal intention. As they say, one cannot cast a spell for a new job without filling out applications.

Live your Spirit

Psychic Lifestyles

and Breathe

by Sonia Choquette Autumn Issue 2015

Breath is your spirit

B

reath is essential to living and loving your Spirit. In fact, you breath is your Spirit. The breath you take gives you life. To breathe deeply is to claim your Spirit and bring it into every cell.

One of the first things that occur when you disconnect from your Spirit is that you stop breathing deeply. You tend to breathe shallowly instead and even occasionally hold your breath altogether. When you body does not get adequate breath it goes more deeply into fear and anxiety, thus creating a vicious cycle of self-debilitating negativity. So to love your Spirit, to live your Spirit, you must breathe.

There are several ways to breathe that instantly align you with your divine Spirit, and raise you vibration.

The first is to breathe in deeply through the nose, and then, open your mouth, relax the back of your throat, and release the sound “AH” as you exhale. Do this several times right now and notice the change in your vibration.

As you do this, place your hand over your heart and feel the vibration on your heart as your breath releases. This kind of breathing is not usual. We all do it naturally. It’s called a “sigh”. When we sigh, we get out of our heads air false ego self and reconnect to Spirit. It’s a natural reflex to keep us true to our higher self.

A doctor once told me a person cannot breathe deeply and worry at the same time. It’s biologically impossible. A deep breath interrupts and dissipates worry waves. I cannot say for certain this is true, but I can say it is true for me. When I breathe in through the nose, and slowly out through the mouth with an 38

Psychic Lifestyles

”Ah…” I cannot worry about anything. I can only feel relaxation, ease of tension and relief. It feels great.

Try it yourself and see if you can worry and breathe at the same time. Of course, you can worry between breaths if you’d like, but if you breathe consistently even that becomes more and more difficult to do.

Another breathing technique that calms the mind and raises your vibration instantly to the frequency of Spirit is called “AH HA Breath.”

This breathing technique is useful when your ego mind has gotten so knotted up in a mountain of worry and you can’t seem to struggle free or connect with your Spirit, no matter what you do. To engage this breathing stand with your legs slightly apart and slightly bent at the knees then take in the deepest breath you can and quickly thump your chest in the area of your heart with your fist and release a loud resounding “HA”! As you do make certain you are free to be as loud as you can be when you do this thump on the heart to get the best results and calls your Spirit instantly into your body. The “ha” is the equivalent of a lifeguard’s whistle “shouting “everybody out of the pool now!”

It energetically breaks up and expels and sends running any negative frequencies that have gotten hold on you and restores you vibration to your authentic divine frequency and peaceful divine mind.

This breathing technique is a little startling to you and anyone around you. That’s the point. It startles the ego mind into release.

It acts as a reset button on your energy patterns.

After you take your breath, thump your chest and expel energy with a loud emphatic “HA” slow breathing in and then listen.

What you will be delighted to hear is silence. At least in your head you will hear beautiful glorious silence, the peace and quiet of divine mind. This exercise done two or three times a day clears your energy of all negativity and quiets the brain, much like lightning hitting the ground.

real or imagined conflicts. If you breathe in unison with someone the vibration between you begins to harmonize and resonate on a higher frequency. This softens your heart and brings you to divine mind. In divine mind there is no place for conflict, only in ego mind so you find your peace.

Another breathing suggestion is to, throughout the day, and especially when under stress step away from whatever you are doing and take a “breather”, literally a break to simply breathe in deeply for five minutes and realign your consciousness for your Spirit.

So, to love and live your Spirit remember:

In my opinion, breathers are not unnecessary indulgences. They are essential self- loving timeouts we all need throughout the day. The entire world would be a whole lot better off if everyone took a few more “breathers.

* Breathe in deeply, thump your heart, and let out an energetic “HA” from

Here’s another great tool. I call it “share a breath”. By this I mean breath in unison with another, falling, if possible, into a common breathing pattern for several minutes.

Because the breath is Spirit, it is physiologically impossible to share a breath with someone, and at the same moment feel threatened, unsafe, or unworthy or disconnected in that person’s presence.

The breath is our common bond, the great divine equalizer. It’s a secret tool of the best negotiations of the world. When you share a breath with another or better yet a breath in unison with another for several minutes you automatically ease any obstacles, barriers, fears and judgments that exist between you given how much energy our ego minds draw from us with

*breath in deeply, in through the nose, out through the mouth and release a A sigh saying “Ah!”

The belly up. * Take breathers every five minutes throughout the day, every day until it Becomes habit. *When uncomfortable with another, or to elevate your experience of divine Mind, share a breath with someone. * Breath in unison with those you are conflicted with. * And above all, just remember to breathe. It feels good.

onsidering that many in this field consider the “Telephone to the Dead” to be the touchstone of radio-based Instrumental Transcommunication as we know it today, I think it is wise to shed some light on the topic. The “Telephone to the Dead” is the name that was given to the device Thomas Edison was working on in the last decade of his life. In multiple essays on spiritualism written during the early 1920’s (all are available in the book The Diary and Sundry Observations of Thomas Edison by Dagobert Runes, 1948*), Edison tried to grapple with the concept of how the spirit could exist after death. He thought that the “life units” that were unknown by science joined together to create every animate (and possibly inanimate) object. Upon death, these life units broke up into their respective individual units and joined another form after human death.

This is a theory which is obviously unproven and may even be considered patently false because of the technology that has been advanced by ninety plus years since Edison espoused this theory.

Edison knew of electrons, and

Thomas Edisons’ Telephone to the Dead: Myth or Fact ?

by Tim Woolworth

40

Psychic Lifestyles

he figured that the life units were even smaller than electrons.

Edison based this theory upon the physics concept of energy interchangeability: “I believe, rightly or wrongly, that life is undestructable, it is true, and I also believe that there has always been a fixed quantity of life on this planet, and that this quantity can neither be increased or decreased.” On Edison’s Earth, nothing, not even life, could be created or destroyed; so he therefore assumed that life units changing from one form to another were responsible for all life on this planet.

If, according to Edison’s beliefs, the “life units” of the spirit broke up upon death to join another form, how could a personality exist in the afterlife? Edison was vexed by this idea and struggled to come up with a theory which would allow for life after death to exist. To make this theory a viable one, he utilized the idea of “swarms.” Edison was convinced that swarms of life units were responsible for not only the thinking and memory of humans, but for every life function of every plant and animal. His evidence that swarms life units were responsible for memory consisted of the fact that someone can burn their fingertips badly enough to remove all the skin in a blister, but yet, the fingerprint whorls would grow back the same way. These swarms moved from one form to another after the human body, which served as merely a vessel for these swarms, passed on. Edison believed that these swarms of life units were responsible for all evolution (he gives the example of wooly mammoths and elephants, daisies and blue daisies). Edison’s whole swarm theory and life

Autumn Issue 2015

41

after death revolved around the Broca’s Area of the brain. The Broca’s Area was thought to be responsible for the seat of both memory and personality due to the results of “eighty-two surgical operations.” Edison felt that if the swarms of life units that made up the Broca’s area could continue to exist in a swarm after death, then the personality could live on and there could be a life force after death that could be contacted. We have learned since Edison’s time that the Broca’s Area is responsible for lanuage comprehension and development.

Regardless of Thomas Edison’s misinformed understanding of biology, he was inventive genius who was astoundingly capable of developing devices to serve a purpose. During the last decade 42

Psychic Lifestyles

of his life, he turned to inventing a device that would be capable of communicating with any sentience that existed beyond the grave. In “Spiritualism,” written in 1920, Edison postulated that, “For my part, I am inclined to believe that our personality hereafter will be able to affect matter. If this reasoning be correct, then, if we can evolve an instrument so delicate as to be affected, or moved, or manipulated – whichever term you want to use – by our personality as it survives in the next life, such an instrument, when made available, ought to record something.” Edison continued an attempt to develop this device. He continued in this essay: “I have been at work for sometime building an apparatus to see if it is possible for personalities which have left this earth to communicate with us.”

This instrument has been dubbed as the “Telephone to the Dead,” and currently, this instrument that Edison was working on has never turned up. Edison never referred to his device as the Telephone to the Dead; it is a name that has been given to this device by paranormal researchers. In his essays, the item he was working on was likened to to a valve that would amplify the ability for the swarms to manipulate the object so that “it does not matter how slight is the effort, it will be sufficient to record whatever there is to be recorded.” Until this day, the plans for Edison’s device have yet to be discovered and the Edison Estate (and many skeptics) claim that Edison must therefore have never worked on a device to communicate with the dead despite these essays saying the exact opposite.

I would like to point out that the Edison Estate not only redacted the 80+ pages of spiritualism from his diary and had it repressed, but the estate also held on to his documents for over 50 years until they were sent to Rutgers University.

Edison continued to work on the “Telephone to the Dead” until he became comatose in 1931 and died shortly thereafter. Before dying, Edison briefly came out of his coma and said to his wife, Mina, who was keeping vigil at

in Scientific American. He also gave an interview to the New York Times in 1921 which stated that he was more than willing to discuss life after death only in terms of life units. These articles, plus the additional publications from Runes’ publication of Edison’s diary, solidly point to the fact that Edison was in fact working on a device to communicate with the dead. Skeptics claim that Edison’s interview with Forbes was merely a joke being played by Edison and that his followup in Scientific American was a way to extend that joke. A careful reading of these articles plus his others from his diary collection will show

Edison continued to work on the “Telephone to the Dead” until he became comatose in 1931 and died shortly thereafter. his bedside, and his doctor that “It is very beautiful over there!”

Did Edison learn something about the afterlife while in a comatose state? Where is the instrument he was working on? Where are the instrument’s plans?

I would not be doing this aricle justice if I did not address the skeptical side of the Telephone to the Dead. From my research, I have yet to come up with a reason why Edison has been equated with this term. Spiritual phones were being used in the 1940’s and their usage may have been anachronistically applied to Edison’s work. The first mentioning of Edison working on such a device was in the October 1920 issue of American Magazine. Interviewed by B.C. Forbes (later of Forbes magazine), it was revealed that Edison was developing an electrical device to speak with the dead. This was the same year that he wrote his essay on Spiritualism which was featured

that Edison truly believed in his work and the same theories are postulated again and again by him.

The most damning evidence of Edison and his spiritual beliefs came in the form of an October 1933 essay in Modern Mechanix.

This article purports to have been written about a secret meeting in 1920 in Edison’s lab where he tried to communicate with the dead. Complete with illustrations describing how Edison set up a beam projector and photoelectric receiver with delicate instruments that would register anything (including smoke) that would cross the beam’s path. This group of scientists sat there for hours and nothing happened.

But, what does this prove?

Precisely the fact that Edison was interested in the afterlife and was working on devices to prove it.

This “experiment” was published about in 1933, two years after Edison’s death and thirteen years after the experiment. This leads to questionable motives on the part of Modern Mechanix magazine. Were they inclined to be iconoclastic in nature? This experiment, being performed in 1920, does not give credence to the followup work that Edison did during the last decade of his life. It is clear from essays he wrote later that his work continued at least into late 1922 and that he was still developing a device.

But where is his final device?

Where are the prototypes? Where are the plans? These questions have gone unanswered for decades.

The Edison estate has avowed that Thomas was never involved in work with a device to communicate with the dead because no plans, or instruments, have ever turned up that point towards his attempt at instrumental transcommunication.

In the last decade, many ITC researchers have had a male voice come through claiming to be Edison. Is it possible that Thomas Edison is trying to communicate with us? Other researchers have had both male and female voices coming through offering technical advice for improving ghost boxes.

Are these entities the spirits of departed humans trying to build a bridge to help us communicate with them better?

Currently, we have no answers other than what ITC voices tell us.

Crystal Therapy : Three cleansing

rystals hold energy, so when you first get a crystal it is best to “cleanse” them before use. This does not mean that the vibrational energy within the crystal is not valuable without cleansing, but I have found that cleansing my crystals regularly brings out the best quality of experience in crystal therapy.

Using Other Crystals and Minerals

This is a very simple method of crystal cleansing. Create a salt bed, and allow your crystals to lie in the salt bed for 24 to 48 hours.

This takes away any energy that the crystal matrix might have stored that does not align with the intention associated with your

They can certainly aid us in discovery and assist us in bringing about change, but the reality is that if we remain unwilling to change in certain areas of our lives the crystals themselves will have little effect. It is important with all healing practices that you take a holistic approach, and adopt methods that assist you in many ways. Crystal energy is often subtle, but when someone aligns their intention to it through action it can create wonderful results. My prayer is that each person reading this article will find the strategies that work best for them to bring healing to themselves and therefore the planet. crystal therapy. You can also use black tourmaline which works as an infinite sponge for negative energy, absorbing it. Or you can use onyx which dispels negative energy. With either tourmaline or onyx you may want to put these crystals together for three days to a week for optimal benefit.

Method Two: Crystal Cleansing With Water I have found that running water works best with this method. You can either find a natural source of water such as a stream or river, or you can use running water in a sink or bathtub. If you choose a natural flowing stream of water the best way to keep your crystals from getting away from you is to get a nut milk bag and dunk the bag for several minutes into the flowing water.

Method Three: Crystal Cleansing With the Earth This method is similar to using other crystals and minerals as a means for cleansing. To cleanse crystals with the earth you simply bury the crystals under a plot of sand or dirt and leave them there overnight. Burying your crystals in the earth naturally grounds them, and any negative energy or intention that the crystal may have picked up will be drawn into the earth and cleansed. Using this method is also a great way to charge the crystal with positive healing and grounding energy.. We will discuss charging crystals in a future blog.

Queston and Answer post: Question: “Based on the information given on your website, and articles you have written, i have been working with a pendulum for several months. it is quite profound. but recently, it occurred to me that perhaps i am influencing the answers to the pendulum by what i already think i know to be ‘the answer’, or by what i want the answer to be. is this possible, or am i reading too much into my own influence? my hand isn’t moving, but when i realized how much influence the mind has on the pendulum, i thought maybe it’s just reading me, not the universal answers. please share some tips on how to remain neutral when working with the pendulum. thanks again for opening me up to this incredible tool. it freaked me out at first, but now i am getting more comfortable with it and it blows me away. one last question - if you are asking a question about someone else, do they need to be with you or next to the pendulum?”

Psychic Advice: A pendulum is a very powerful and reliable tool for accessing higher guidance and for getting accurate answers to any question. although it only takes a few minutes to learn how to use a pendulum, it can take a bit of practice to master the art of pendulum dowsing for maximum pendulum reliability.

The mind is also a powerful tool, and it can work with you or against you in any given situation. the mind can influence the outcome of any experience, especially a reading, so it is important to remain neutral. one of the reasons that i don’t do psychic readings for people in person is so that i am not influenced by the mind or my five senses; instead, i focus on clearing my mind and getting my own judgments, expectations and preconceptions out of the way so i can perform a purely intuitive reading. this is also necessary when using the pendulum or any other divination tool.

When learning how to use a pendulum for maximum reliability, it is important to breathe and relax.

Affirmations can be helpful to improve pendulum reliability close your eyes for a moment and imagine a blank screen in your mind’s eye, or simply allow your mind to clear. you can breathe and focus on the word “peace”, allowing your whole body and mind to relax.

Affirmations can be very helpful to improve pendulum reliability. when you are first learning how to use a pendulum, you can create a ritual of saying: “i am open to receive the truth now. i release all judgments, expectations and preconceptions, and am willing to know the highest truth for the highest and best good of all.”

Many expert dowsers begin each pendulum dowsing session by asking “may i/can i/should i?”, meaning, “may i ask about ______ now?”, “can i ask about ______ now?” and “should i ask about ____ now?” each of these questions addresses a different level of responsibility. “may i” is a question of whether you have permission from the universe to address that topic. “can i” inquires as to whether you have the necessary dowsing skills to address that topic, or whether your pendulum is willing to address it. “should i” is a question of whether or not this is an appropriate topic for you to be inquiring about, for your highest good, or that of others.

When you are first leaning how to use a pendulum, it can be helpful to rest your elbow on a table to make sure that your arm is secure and your hand is not moving. you can 48

Psychic Lifestyles

try holding the pendulum up with your elbow on the table, or rest your entire forearm flat on the table and let your hand and pendulum dangle over the edge. also, try holding the chain in different ways and at different lengths, from the very tip, to an inch or two from the pendulum bob (make sure you keep excess chain out of the way in the palm of your hand) to see what works best and is most comfortable for you.

There are several methods you can use for increasing pendulum reliability and accuracy when asking questions. first, you can write a list of questions that have a “yes” or “no” answer on a piece of paper, then point to each question and watch the response of the pendulum. typically, if the pendulum moves in a clockwise direction, that indicates a “yes” or positive response, and if the pendulum moves in a counterclockwise circle, that usually indicates a “no” or negative response (unless your pendulum swings are different and unique for you). you can also try numbering these questions, then turn the piece of paper over so you can’t see them and ask for the answer to question one, then question two, etc., writing down the answers that you receive, then correlating them with the question numbers when you are done.

You can also write down a list of possible answers/options and point a finger of your free hand down

that list, watching the response of the pendulum. you will be able to clearly see and feel the best answer or option by the strongest and widest swing of the pendulum. if two or more options receive a positive response from the pendulum, you can go back to each of those and ask “is this the best option for me now?”

Another method for keeping your mind from influencing your pendulum is to write down various options on different pieces of paper and turn the papers upside down. hold your pendulum over each piece of paper and ask, “is this the best option for me right now?”, or whatever question you have in mind.

Adding the word “now” is always important, because the future is not set in stone. the future is a matter of probability and is always subject to change by choice and consequence, because every action creates a reaction that influences and alters the future.”now” is the only time that truly exists, and “now” is the only time in which you have power, so adding the word “now” to your questions will increase your accuracy. you can verify your dowsing responses by asking your pendulum, “is this the truth now?”, or “is this the highest truth for me now?”.

Avoid the temptation of asking the same question over and over again, because this will only confuse your dowsing results. also, make sure that you are asking only one

question at a time. if you ask, “should i go downtown to shop on tuesday”, you are actually asking three questions: “should i go downtown?”, “should I go shopping?”, and “should I go on Tuesday?”. keep in mind that the clearer your questions are, the clearer your answers will be.

Let go of the need to be right, and try to remain as impartial as possible. any psychic will tell you that it is easier to do readings for people you don’t know than to do accurate readings for yourself or your loved ones. If you want to ask about a topic that you aren’t sure you can remain neutral about, ask someone else to dowse the answer for you. you can either ask the question to them aloud, or think the question very strongly and silently in your mind, and have them tell you the response of the pendulum.

You can use the pendulum to receive answers for or about someone else, whether they are near you or not. if you do not have their verbal consent or permission to do so, then it is very important that you ask the pendulum the three “may I/can I/should I?” questions before you begin, so you make sure you are not infringing on their privacy or free will.

Keep in mind that what the pendulum is made of can affect pendulum reliability. as you become more proficient at using the pendulum, you will recognize that the pendulum is a precision instrument, and different materials produce different results. pendulums made of different crystals can absorb energy very easily, particularly if other people

handle them. stone and crystal pendulums need to be cleansed and purified often, or else they can distort your dowsing accuracy. for best results, don’t use a pendulum that is too heavy or too light, so you may want to avoid pendulums that are too large, or those made of wood.

You can use the pendulum to receive information about anything you put your mind to, as long as you are willing to relax your mind so you can get accurate responses. in time and with practice, you can improve your dowsing accuracy and increase pendulum reliability in every area of interest. askgrace.com

Grace is an internationally acclaimed psychic and gifted The best pendulums are those made spiritual healer. of brass, because brass is highly conductive to electromagnetic energy, so brass pendulums create the best receivers. the diamond pendulum is the one that i highly recommend - it has been reviewed by new age retailer as “the most responsive pendulum”, and is also used by members of the american society of dowsers. it has a unique design that incorporates sacred geometry through the power of the pyramid, enhancing its ability to provide clear and accurate responses. expert dowsers have said that they’ve stopped using their other pendulums because the diamond pendulum has become the one they prefer.

Pendulums have been used for thousands of years to successfully locate water, gold and other minerals. many of the world’s oil supplies have been located using a pendulum. for centuries, midwives used pendulums to determine the sex of a baby. physicians in france openly use the pendulum for diagnosis, referring to this as the science of “radiesthesia”. people all over the world use pendulums for healing purposes to determine the underlying causes of ailments and potential remedies. pendulums can also be used to test the purity of food, or to determine potential allergens.

Psychic Radio FREE Readings and Fun

A

few years ago I was a guest on another Psychic’s radio show, being interviewed because of the company I was working for at the time and my position. I was very nervous, as I had never done a live radio interview before, and I did not know what to expect. What would we talk about for an hour? What if I said something wrong or mumbled? I was quite anxious and for days I was a mess hoping it would go

okay, and that I would not be a disappointment to the other psychic or the people calling in to talk to me.

Instead of just being interviewed, I asked the host if I could jump in and help answer the caller’s questions too, since I also am a psychic intuitive counsellor and figured that would ease the fear, if I was doing something fun.

I took a year or so off from doing readings, but since June, I have now come back to another weekly radio show with a relaunch of my website, and a new sponsor.

I love doing the call in format and I enjoy working with A1R Psychic Radio. Connie and Dave who work behind the scenes are great, and it really is fun. My 30 minute radio show

is each Tuesday night at 930pm est.

I really enjoy the callers who phone in from all over the world. Each caller gets at least a 10-12 minute free psychic and tarot reading, and sometimes some angel insights too.

I get to speak with 2 callers each week, and also during my show I have a few minutes to discuss any current cosmic events happening or even just talk about the weather!

During my show I also mention my current specials and readings available via my website www. psychicjen.ca and also my sponsor www.psychic.biz who has some promo codes and special offers too.

Skeptical of Psychic or Tarot Readings? It’s Okay

by Ms. Yvonne

I

have a confession to make here: even though I have been doing these readings for many years, I went through a couple of bouts of being skeptical myself.

While I know that may seem strange for someone like me to say, but it’s the truth. There were times when I didn’t want to do this work because I was afraid of saying the wrong thing and hurting people.

Other times, I couldn’t help but wonder if what I was putting in my readings were actually just my own thoughts of how I wanted things to be for the person getting the reading. This has come to mind most often when I was doing readings for friends and family.

54

Psychic Lifestyles

When I was very young, I heard voices, saw things I didn’t understand and just seem to know things without any idea of why I knew them.

Lucky for me I had a Gram that was able to explain it all to me because the same things happened with her.

While she embraced it, I wanted nothing to do with any of it because it scared me.

She tried to impress on me how I could do as she did and use this ability to help people. Nope, no way, I wasn’t going to do it, let someone else help them. At first I thought I was going crazy, but after some time realized it was just part of who I was but still I wasn’t going to just accept this happening to me.

See a Psychic’s point of view.

Some years later, I finally decided it wasn’t going away so I might just as well learn how to control it and make the best of the situation.

After several years of actively doing readings, I began to wonder if what I was telling my clients was something I was really seeing or was it just what I thought they might need. In other words, my own wishes or thoughts for them.

A friend who also read Tarot and we decided to read for each other, write it down and then have readings done. The first appointment we had was cancelled due to a family emergency by the reader, we went to another place and I felt uncomfortable, so we looked further.

On a whim, we stopped at a book store that offered readings. I was impressed at how accurate her reading was, but was taken aback when she told me she knew I read Tarot and told me she gave classes if I would like to attend. I thought she might say this to all her clients to get people to attend her class, however, she never mentioned it to my friend. I decided to take the classes and was delighted at the second class when the teacher asked me to give her a reading.

This was the affirmation I needed to realize it wasn’t my own thoughts coming through but I was really able to give my own clients a clear and accurate readings.

I often have people tell me they are skeptical because they are afraid of what the reader might tell them. No one wants to hear they will have a bad accident, illness or worse. I can’t say I blame them, that would be hard to hear.

While an ethical reader may see these types of things in your reading, they would never blurt it out, but might instead tell you to postpone a trip or have a doctor give you a good physical. We would all like to only hear good things, but that’s not the reality which we call life. From time to time we might have to give you news that isn’t what you want to hear, but if it’s what we are getting then it is probably what you needed to hear.

Many times clients have told me they were unsure of getting a reading because they felt the person giving the reading may have looked up their information, or

ask questions to get information they would then turn into a reading.

Ethical readers will never use these tactics on their clients. My clients often come to me through the internet, but I also do face to face readings. I’ve never researched them before the reading, and the only question I, and ethical readers will ask is your first name and date of birth if we are doing a phone or internet reading. This allows us to better hone in on your energy to give you a more accurate readings.

Yes, we know there are a lot of fakes out there causing clients to be wary of getting a reading. We try to educate clients on how to avoid them, but it does still happen. If you have been to one of those types, I fully understand why you would be skeptical of having other readings done.

For myself, I am not in the business to bilk clients or give them fairy tale readings. That isn’t good for my clients nor is it good for my business.

Still skeptical, I’d be glad to answer any questions you have about how I do readings. Once you’ve made an appointment, made the payment and we start the reading, I will do whatever is necessary to make you feel as comfortable as possible during your reading.

With that all being said, why not give it a try. Stop by, make an appointment and let’s get started.

Blessings, I’m Ms Yvonne. I am an empathic reader with more than 25 years’ experience. I received my abilities at a very young age having been passed down to me by my maternal great grandmother and paternal grandmother.

I work with tarot, angel cards, the pendulum and my own intuitive abilities to process the information I am able to relay to my clients. I am available for live chat and phone sessions.

Healing your Relationship with Rose Quartz

R

ose Quartz is a pink quartz crystal that resonates with the energy of love. It is no wonder that it is known as the Love Stone as its energy is profoundly effective in attracting new love, intimacy and romance.

This soft essence of this crystal is also symbolic of peace and calm energy. Thought to have been used as a love stone as far back in history as 600 B.C, the properties of this gemstone are also very effective at healing personal relationships. The soft soothing energy of this crystal will resonate out into your entire aura.

Like all crystals it is a profound amplifier of energy.

by Psychic Aura Because Rose Quartz is a heart chakra stone, its energy aligns with the heart area. With a sublime and balancing energy it can also assist in physical problems.

It is especially powerful in balancing and healing the upper chakras located above the heart chakra. It can stimulate the the throat chakra (communication and expression), the third eye chakra (intuition and psychic abilities) and the crown chakra (connection to the higher self and spirit) and bring their vibrations into line with the heart – the gateway to the soul – with the vibration of love and compassion.

of rose Quartz will emanate soothing and harmonious vibrations throughout the room to which it is placed.

Did you know that the heart has an intelligence of its own?

Research from the HeartMath Institute and emerging research in neurocardiology, shows that the heart has its own nervous system with over 40,000 neural cells. This means that the heart can send information to the brain. The heart’s electromagnetic field is very powerful and expands and touches others from where we are positioned of up to 25 feet!

It is also an excellent stone for use in crisis, trauma or grief due to its calming properties. Rose Quartz is also used to encourage creativity because it opens the heart chakra making it a greater channel for music, art and poetry.

Rose Quartz Crystal also resonates with the Goddess Energy of Aphrodite – the Greek Goddess of love and beauty. Place a rose quartz in your home where you feel it will imbue the most presence.

This can be in the living area – the heart of the home. The presence

To call in love or to strengthen an existing relationship, place a rose quartz crystal, or a rose quartz heart on a small altar, or place by the bed or in the relationship corner of the home. If used as a talisman it will assist in attracting and healing relationships.

An affirmation for rose quartz is: “I open my heart to the source of all love”.

Remember, the most important thing is love for the self, for without this we cannot love another. How can you expand your field of love?

Can you take it into your life and express it in ways that raise your vibration to align with that which you love doing? Love is an energy and a vibration! Aligning with love attracts love to you via multiple pathways!

by Pat Morelli Photos taken and submitted by Pat Morelli “CRYSTALLOMANCY: A mode of divining by means of a transparent body, as a precious stone, crystal globe, etc., formerly in high esteem. The operator first muttered over the crystal (a beryl was preferred) certain formulas of prayer, and then gave it into the hands of a young man or a virgin, who thereupon, by oral communication from spirits in the crystal, or by written characters seen in it, was supposed to receive the information desired.” Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia

An Old and Practiced Divination Crystallomancy, also known as CRYSTAL GAZING is an ancient practice of divination that has a long history and tradition using beryl or rock (quartz) crystals to “gaze” into the future and to also assist in creating spirit communications for centuries by many important ancient cultures.

specifically used with great results the Crystal Ball. It is written that Queen Elizabeth 1 often consulted with Dr Dee for vital information through his divination practices through Crystallomancy.

The “ancients” believed that quartz crystal was a sacred gift to us from the Mother Earth and held great power and mystery. These cultures used quartz for healing, spiritual and magical practices which were passed down through their generations.

Quartz is the most abundant mineral on Earth. Throughout history Quartz has been revered and used by many important civilizations dating back as far as Atlantis and Lemuria. Native Americans, African Tribes, Ancient Egyptians, the Aztecs, the Romans and the Scots as well as many other civilizations were said to use Quartz for a variety of reasons including meditation, spiritual development, diagnostic healing, Divination and a raising of ones consciousness.

Enochian Language and Crystallomancy The famous Scholar and British Mathematician Dr John Dee (July 13 1527-1608) a close and respected consultant and tutor to Queen Elizabeth 1 and who was renowned for his work in astronomy, astrology, alchemy, Magic and divination practices 62

Psychic Lifestyles

DR Dee spent 30 years or more of his life dedicated to contacting and summoning the ANGELIC REALM in order to learn more about the universal language of creation through his divination practices using Crystallomancy.

Joining with the famous Seer and Medium Edward Kelley, together through the practice of Crystal Gazing were said to have both communicated clearly with the Angelic World which then lead them to a language that was said to have been an integral part of the practice of ENOCHIAN MAGIC, also known as Angel Magic.

Dr Dee did not refer to this new language shared with him as Enochian but rather he referred to this new language as “the holy language”, “ language of the ANGELS”, “The first Language of “GOD” etc within his notes.

Enochian language was believed to be the language used by Adam in Paradise to describe all things he saw. Interestingly noted that the use of the word ENOCHIAN was coined by Dr Dee since Dee asserts that the last known human to actually have known and to use this language before He and Kelley were given them through their work was ENOCH the Biblical Patriarch.

They believed ENOCH was the last human to use this language before they were given it from their angelic connections through divination practices.

Communicating with Quartz Crystals ANY transparent body such a beryl, quartz and WATER were used for gazing into the spirit world by the Seer. Ancient civilizations believed Quartz were living beings, wise and able to communicate with those individuals willing to receive the sacred information stored within the matrix of that Quartz. Quartz SPHERES are able to produce a negative charged ion force field that surrounds and cleanses the entire area that it sits within from all directions. Make no mistake quartz crystal Spheres are most powerful beings. Their beauty and wonder have shown us that they can project energy, receive energy, and HOLD that energy within their matrix their powers are endless and should be highly regarded for their SACREDNESS and their many uses especially their long history in SPHERE DIVINATION. <Crystal Ball reading> Quartz have special piezoelectric properties. Piezoelectric Effect is an electrical charge sent into solid materials such as Quartz Crystals. Electrical charge takes place after Quartz are “pressed” or “squeezed” which creates electrons and electrical charges within the Crystal. Quartz

has a very high ability to store information in its environment and when it is touched by anyone it absorbs and records that energy exchange. Crystals have their own intelligence and their own vibrational rate. Like Humans there are simply no two ever alike. They have their own ENERGY unique to them that is just their own. It vibrates at its own special rate and can easily be harnessed for many purposes once programmed.

Quartz spheres and other quartz have the ability to store and to transform energy and are used within many electronics on the market today. Its almost like quartz breathe as we do, taking ‘IN’ and and ‘releasing’ that which is no longer needed when pressure is applied to them. The simple act of squeezing a programmed quartz can literally send OUT energy and by releasing that pressure upon the quartz energy, vital force, is then TAKEN INTO the matrix of that quartz crystal to replenish what has been sent out into its environment!

All done through the magic of the Universal Life Force that surrounds and envelopes all things. Quartz

Spheres and other quartz truly are so unique, beautiful and “healing” to work beside.

Quartz is a highly intelligent! I do urge you to please fully recognize this while you work beside them.

While working with quartz crystals you should always be respectful in your approach and never try using any quartz for projecting negativity out into this Universe. EACH quartz no matter the size or shape are intelligent beings that will reject negativity on a very deep level often mirroring back to the user with that which is being sent out. Please Respect our Mother Earth and her inhabitants especially the mineral kingdom.

Properties and Uses for the Quartz SPHERE Quartz SPHERES are very powerful tools to create a bridge with the world of SPIRIT for communication to take place.

Quartz Spheres are quite capable of assisting us in enhancing natural psychic awareness. We are each

born with these psychic abilities and those abilities are always easily accessible to us when we are in need of them. By carrying or wearing a programmed quartz crystal we may also enhances that psychic awareness and raise the vibrational rate of energy through ones body to a higher rate of frequency. This rise in frequencies can assist us in spirit communications and with healing. Quartz crystal Spheres may be employed to repel specific negative frequencies of energy within ones environment such as your home space or working area.

Placed within a garden space they will deeply enhance and promote fertility and abundance. Most importantly they are used for communications with the world of spirit with good success by some.

There are many interesting and unusual ways to clean, program and create a bridge with spirit and with the earth itself through our work with Crystal Spheres. Healing with spheres and other quartz have been recorded all the way back to 1500 BC. Egyptian medical texts and

emanating PURE WHITE LIGHT at all times.

other documents show the many ways that quartz were used for healing and for spiritual practices.

ITC WATER SESSIONS: Using Quartz Crystals

The ANGELIC WORLD and OTHER SPIRITS are especially drawn to Quartz Crystals and working with them in my sessions.

Communications are enhanced with the Angelic world while using Quartz Crystals and Others in the mineral kingdom within water. Crystals have a Auric field that reaches much further then we anticipate and can be read easily by dowsing with copper rods. Its quite surprising just how large their auric field can be recorded from the smallest sized Crystal. Its power is far reaching many times emanating into the entire room. Quartz are placed in radios and our computers and are found in some ITC communication devices adding to the power of the connection that we create. Crystals can and will deflect negative energy in the environment when cleaned and then programed with this intention in mind. Quartz Crystals are “living beings” that encompass all the spectrum of colors deep within its matrix always 64

Working beside Crystals creates enhanced meditation times, expands ones consciousness, assists in past life recalls, helps with healing all of ones bodies and most importantly helps enhance communications with ANGELS and spirit that surrounds us communicating and supporting us in so many ways through ITC WATER SESSIONS.

I am an ITC SPIRIT PHOTOGRAPHER Researcher.

I photograph moving water and color in my environment as well as photograph moving crystal SPHERES and other quartz such as Master Crystals. I do not traditionally “read” the Crystal Sphere by simply gazing into it as others do. I photograph quartz crystal spheres while its moving and spinning with candles and colors that are light from behind it in a darkened room. I take 7 second movies of this quartz movement and spiraling color.

I also do EVPS <Electronic Voice Phenomenon> as I film for a further ommunications to take place giving spirit every opportunity to create a connection.

Each film taken is examined frame to frame, the entire movie, specifically looking in these still shot for clear spirit faces, angelic beings, animals, Scenes of nature <often seen>, words being spelled out, and of course other light beings through the veil. Spirit can and will use colors to manifest themselves! They are quite advanced in this concept and are attracted to certain vibrational

colors and frequencies. ALL Color and ALL Sound carries its own vibrational rates and emits energy. Spirit is pure waves of energy vibration and they will use the powerfully charged quartz vibrational energy along with the energy in the environment to manifest themselves in our photographs. Even our OWN energy vibration is used by spirit at times.

While working with ITC WATER PHOTOGRAPHY I often place quartz inside my water bowl with excellent results. I will also charge my water with programed quartz crystals and then place that water in a pyramid to even further enhance the power of that water being used before my sessions raising its vibrational level. The Quartz charges the water and this enhances the communications with spirit at times. Spirit seems to know exactly what I am doing.

Its quite fascinating to watch them emerge in the bowl or in the sphere I photograph. They easily use color to manifest perfectly! Its always amazing to see.

Quartz is the most abundant mineral on Mother Earth. Quartz Crystals are powerful beings. They emit their own energy field that can be felt long distances from

where the Crystal lies. They also take in and absorb energy in their environment somewhat of a beacon for spirits in my personal experience. This is why its of great importance to always be mindful while exploring quartz crystals before working with them or after holding them or using them for imagery and especially during and after working with the spirit world. Quartz does pick up energy and thoughts quite easily even from the spirit world. Each person that touches a quartz leaves an imprint within its depths recorded. Quartz records everything within its environment. Whether the quartz has termination or is sphere shaped, large or small makes really no difference. Cleaning quartz regularly is necessary as a normal maintenance while working with them.

Surprising to some quartz crystals have large vibrant auric fields! The auric field can be measured quite easily by dowsing with copper rods which I often do to measure and gauge where the auric field of each Crystal begins and ends and to gauge if it has been cleared properly of stagnant and or negative energy.

This is very effective technique to read the auric field of each mineral you work with or heal your body with.

The use of quartz in moving WATER while I photograph has become an interesting and excitingly powerful ITC tool rendering many spirits manifesting themselves within either the water or the crystals in the bowl. It has completely blessed my life and has taught me many things regarding the world of spirit.

While using the combination of the energy of the quartz combined with the powerful memory of water as well as the color in the immediate environment all combined creates a powerful palette for spirit to manifest itself. The use of Lasers beamed into Crystals have also rendered good results seeing human faces within the depth of the crystals that have been used in crystal experiments. A Crystal has its own energy system and that energy produced can be conducted into water, easily, for filming ITC Water Spirit sessions.

All very powerful interesting work we do in our ITC experiments to discover the truth regarding the “other side” and to view what “Spirit perceives” on their side of the veil. Most importantly this work gives Spirit as many options as possible to share their very important story and in their own way through water imagery and EVP! The techniques used for water crystal imagery can be learned by anyone! I hope that you take a moment and experiment yourself with quartz and water movement. It truly is an interesting, rewarding and exciting way to work beside the spirit world. There is so much more we have yet to discover!

Aries — March 21-April 19: Work may be high on your list of priorities this month as Jupiter moves into this area of your charge for the next year bringing with it new opportunities for your work life alongside the chance for you to really “shine” in this area of your life. Before this happens though you have the chance to enjoy the first part of the month with Jupiter still in your area of creativeness and play alongside Venus so be on the lookout for romance and laughter.

This may come in the form of an ex in your life as Venus is retrograde for the entire month which will be taking you back to times past and loves lost. Saturn will also help you along with some retrospective thinking as it spends its last full month in Scorpio allowing you to delve deep into your own psychological make up and find the answers you may have been looking for. If nothing else you may find a few skeletons in your closet that you never knew existed!

Taurus — April 20-May 20: Home is where the heart is and this month your heart is well and truly there. With no less than 4 planets at various times during the next 31 days travelling through this sector of your chart alongside the Sun until the 22nd. As Venus is one of these planets you may wish to set aside some time to spend with family especially if this has been something you have not been too good at lately. As Venus is retrograde it is a great time to revisit and fix any problems you have had in your relationships as well as looking at you want. This is especially important this month as it is the last full month of Saturn in your relationship area for at least another 28 years. Whilst Saturn has had a profound effect on your love life the past few years this is the last month you can “get it right” and if there were changes you were thinking to make in your love life, and didn’t, then this is the time to do so.

GeminiGemini — May 21-June 21: The end of the first week of August sees Mercury, Venus and Jupiter all aligning in your area of communication giving you a chance to launch your point of view in a way that is very amenable to your line of thinking. Later in the month Mars will also be giving you a push in the right direction when it comes to being able to use your fine intellect. Be sure you don’t get ahead of yourself as there is a lot going on this August and some things may take a while to settle. Work is possibly one of these areas for you with Saturn in it’s last few weeks in this area of your chart. You may have seen a lot of changes to your work patterns or felt as if you needed to make changes to them yourself. If it is the case you are thinking of a change with your work then this is the time to really consider taking the next step.

Cancer — June 22-July 23: Mercury moves into your communication area this month around the 8th alongside Jupiter a few days thereafter. You may feel as if your mind is expanding with all the new ideas you have going through it and with the nature of Jupiter being what it is these ideas are sure to put a smile on your face and hopefully a few dollars in your bank balance. Mars, which has been travelling through your sign recently, leaves Cancer around the 9th heading into your area of stability and security. Once again this may be about making more money and you certainly won’t shirk from any hard work that is directed your way. The moon is in your love and relationship area from the 25th to the 27th just in time to see Mercury leaving your communication area and also just in time to see the Sun arriving in your communication area. Looks like there is no rest for your thoughts this month so make them count!

Leo — July 24-August 23: Venus is retrograde in your sign this month which is a lucky thing to have going for you. Venus retrograde brings back old lovers and relationships giving you a chance to sort through anything left “undone”. Added to this though Leo also has Mercury and Jupiter conjunct in your sign very close to the degree Venus is at. The first week of August will be very interesting indeed! Those of you born late in the sign of Leo will feel the effects of these 3 planets moreso and those of you born in early Leo have no need to feel left out as Mars enters your sign around the 9th bringing with it fresh energy and vitality. The new moon on the 14th comes into close alignment with Venus hopefully signalling the start of a new romantic chapter in your life. At the very least August will not be a month for you to forget easily.

Virgo — August 24-September 22: This month finds Jupiter moving in to your sign bringing with it lots of luck and laughter. This only happens once every 12 years so enjoy it while you can which will be until roughly September 2016. Lots of time to enjoy yourself! Mercury, your ruling planet, is also in your sign this month from around the 8th to the 27th giving you sharper thinking, better communication and generally leaving you feeling quite bright. Neptune will be in close contact with the new moon on the 29th/ 30th in your area of love and relationships. At this time you may find things changing for you quickly when it comes to your love life but with all the other great aspects you have this month how bad can it be. Certainly not anything to get too worked up about and yet at the same time if you are not wanting things to change you may wish to take it easy on the last week of August.

Libra — September 23-October 22: As Jupiter moves into your area of spirituality around the 12th you may find yourself being drawn to more creative and esoteric pursuits. With Mercury also in this area of your chart you may wish to try a bit of meditation or just simply hanging out more in nature. There is a definite slowing down in your life just now and the opportunity to reflect and focus on the direction you wish to take in a more relaxed way. After the 9th Mars will be giving you plenty of opportunity to hang out with friends infact you may have more invitations than you know what to do with. Venus is also in a position to boost your social life and as Venus is retrograde you never know who you will bump into from one moment to the next. August is looking very nice for Librans.

Scorpio — October 23-November 22: This is the last full month of Saturn in your sign and those of you born later in Scorpio will be feeling its effects more than others. Given that Venus is also retrograde this month in an area of your chart that has strong links to Saturn you may find yourself feeling as if you have to look at life in a more planned and structured way. Jupiter moves into your area of friends and friendships on the 12th alongside Mercury on the 8th. The effects of these two planets in this area of your chart should see you socially active with many a fine conversation between you and others that may lead to something more. Keep an eye out for this.. something is said and you look into it more as it could lead you onto something bigger and better than what you are currently involved in.

Sagittarius — November 23-December 20: Breathe easy this month because it’s your last full month without Saturn in your sign for the next few years. It’s also the last month for another 12 years that Jupiter will grace you with an easy aspect to your sign before it moves into Virgo around the 12th. On the bright side you have Venus in a strong position to do wonderful things for your love life. Venus is in your ninth house which has strong associates for Sagittarius. It is also trining your sign which means it will make things very smooth for you when it comes to romance. As it is retrograde this month you may find someone from your past coming to call and this may also give you a chance to settle an old relationship once and for all or open the door to it again and see where it leads. Either way August is not looking boring for you infact its brimming with exciting “possibilities”.

Capricorn — December 21-January 20: Mars has been moving through your love and relationship area for a few weeks now and the first ten days of August is no different. Mars doesn’t usually feel too much at home in this area of a chart and can cause arguments, tension and stress when it comes to your love life. If you like things to be intense though then Mars is in the perfect position. Venus is in a position to help you uncover secrets and as it is also retrograde something or someone from your past may make a re appearance in your life. This is the month for finding out those answers you have been looking for especially if it has to do with your love life. With Jupiter also on the verge of moving into a beneficial area of your chart and also an area that will have you less worried about taking risks then the sky could be the limit for you this month.

Aquarius — January 21-February 19: As Venus comes to settle into your area of love and relationships this month you could feel a bit restless. This is a month where you may go deep within yourself also to bring up old hurts and find answers to them. Mars will also be in this area of your chart after the 9th which is probably not a great time to have that talk you were thinking of having with your partner. Mars can cause friction in relationships… it is afterall the planet of war. The Leo new moon on the 14th finds you more than willing to launch yourself into a new way of thinking when it comes to your emotions and the other planetary influences this month will no doubt help you along the way with this. Jupiter will be leaving your relationship area after it’s year long stay around the 12th however this does not mean that all the luck and happiness this great planet has bestowed on your relationships has to leave your life.

Pisces — February 20-March 20: Jupiter moves into your love and relationship area this month bringing with it over a year’s worth of good luck, fun, laughter and lightheartedness to your love life. Alongside this piece of good news you also have Mercury entering the same area of your chart from around the 8th to the 28th which means communication will pick up in your relationship and if there is anything you have been wanting to talk about with your partner then this is the time to do so. The full moon in your own sign on the 29th reinforces that you may be going through some personal changes in your life and what better time to launch something new than with Jupiter in your 7th house. Venus retrograde in your work area may have you dreaming of something from you past that you wanted to pursue career-wise but never got around to doing so. If this is the case you may wish to revisit your dreams in this regard and see what you can do about it.

Need some marketing tips for your Psychic Business?

YOUR PSYCHIC SERVICES BUSINESS

Here is an interesting site for all you who are in the psychic business and want to grow it. The site offers marketing tips and articles for people in the PSI business (or psychic business). Lots of value here, so check it out!

The YourPsychicServicesBusiness.com site promotes professionalism, standardization and integrity in the Psychic Services Industry. We do NOT certify PSI practitioners. Neither have we promoted regulating the industry. Same goes for ChooseAPsychic.com. On that site, the clients leave reviews. We do give advice to those listing on that site about how to

improve their listings.

Right now you are all somewhat unfairly regulated because you are often considered to be operating a suspicious and possibly con-game business by the municipalities where you live. You are also often required to post the disclaimer that your services are “For entertainment purposes only.”

We find this objectionable, which is one of the reasons we started YourPsychicServicesBusiness.com — to help you run your businesses as professional consultancies despite the onerous requirements of your local governments.

Both sites are FREE and will remain so. As we grow, we might find it

necessary to create premium memberships to help support the money and time it takes to operate these sites. We also plan to use advertising to support the sites. Both sites represent a considerable investment of money and time on our parts and we need them to produce ad revenue to support their operations.

We do not have any plans to certify or regulate, and certainly not for money. We do have highly reputable institutions among our supporters and will likely present information on those organizations for those of you who might wish to consider getting certified.

There are a lot of people who have vested interests in keeping this industry shrouded in the image of the gypsie fortuneteller and assorted crazies. We do not. We would like to see the talented people who strive, through their talents and hard work, to help others receive the respect they deserve. We think it is a noble cause.

Angela Thomas is a well-known and highly regarded professional psychic​who has been in the business for three decades. Victoria Duff, spent 20 years in Wall Street investment banking and another 20 years advising start-ups and small businesses all over the World.

We are the co-owners and driving force behind this site. If you haven’t heard of us, you have definitely heard of our friends, who are enthusiastically supporting us in this endeavor and will be contributing to the content and success of this industry journal.

Where are the busy psychic sites?

Kasamba and Keen still seem to be the grand-daddy’s of all sites with the platfrom having a couple of thousand readers ready for chat, phone or mobile readings. Kasamba and Keen have both implemented a mobile site platform, so people can contact readers and chat with them via phone...yes like texting. Or text readings.

But there are some up and coming sites gaining ground in the industry. One in particular is ZodiacPsychics.com they offer a pretty good affliate and referral progam. It looks like they’ve invested enough to bring in the clients as some readers have reported to make a pretty good sum by the end of the month. They pay monthly and you have to make at least $50 before they send payment. to your paypal or bank. Be prepared to pay the PayPal fees because they don’t cover that, but it’s still a nice site for extra money and has potential.

Commissions are about as high as Kasamba (55%-60%) and they do NOT pay for the 3 free minutes the way Keen does.

Psychic.biz, has new management which should help the site as it has not been that busy. The good news is the investors have not given up and are now geared to signe up more readers and clients. So we expect this platform to grow. They are currently accepting new sign ups for readers and clients.

BitWine has changed management, and has been in a transition period now for at least a year or two. The commissions are now at 33% still the best in the industry and readers have reported making great money on there, up to 3k and beyond. With changes in management the site is expected to grow, we wouldn’t be surprised if the commissoins go up to at least 50% as the new managers get a grip on how the business is going.

PsychicScoop.com is an up and rising co-op site. They are very exclusive about who they choose to sign up. New readers are usually refered and proven experts in the field of psychic services. They must contribute an article a month to stay on the website and participate in sharing blogs and other materials on social networks. This is one of a few co-ops out there showing lots of promise.

“Finally… A revolutionary new approach to learning Tarot cards fast” …A quicker, better, easier way to learn that’ll have you confidently reading the cards for fun and profit faster than you ever thought possible…

It’s no secret that learning – and being able to actually remember – the intricate meanings of all the 78 cards in a Tarot deck is notoriously difficult…

In fact, it’s the number one reason why people who dream of reading the Tarot give up on the idea altogether.

And that’s a real shame – because right now with our creaking world economies producing personal difficulties for so many people, and with…

More and more people desperately seeking guidance on their futures from psychics, seers and card readers… …it means there simply aren’t enough readers with the right training to meet this steadily increasing demand.

Where do you find the right training?

Well, there are plenty of books on the subject – you might even have one or two yourself – and some are very good, if not a little overwhelming.

Then there’s training courses you can attend – your local college may run night school classes, or an existing Tarot card reader may teach you privately.

Or you can buy your own pack of cards and try learning from the little instruction booklet that comes with it.

And yes, these are all valid ways of learning the Tarot.

But they all have one major stumbling block…

You’ve still got to actually sit down, study, learn – and then correctly remember – the convoluted meanings of all 78 cards!

And, as you can probably imagine, this is no mean feat – in fact it can literally take weeks, maybe months, of hard work, sweat and tears.

74

Psychic Lifestyles

This course is only $67! A value of $250! http://goo.gl/kUoVob

But now there’s a much better way… multimedia training You see, everyone learns differently.Some do this best by watching – they like to see how it’s done.

Some prefer to listen – they like to hear what’s going on.

Some like to read, some like to just do… …and some only begin to shine when they combine all these methods together.

You’ll read about everything through the detailed online reports, which are set out in very easy to read formats And you’ll combine the seeing, the hearing, the reading and the hands on doing as you follow along with me showing you what to do every step of the way.

Which is why training courses, which include all these different ways of learning, are the best ways of training in anything – anything at all.

And that’s precisely why this exciting format is used inside your ‘Ultimate Online Tarot Card Reading Course’.

It’s a complete multimedia training program!

But, with the added advantage of an electrifying new twist – which I’ll tell you all about in just a few moments!

First though, here’s a quick peek at what this multimedia learning system allows you to do: You’ll be able to see what to do by watching the videos – and you can watch them over and over again until the information really sinks in.

You’ll hear what’s being said, both in the videos and in the separate audio files which accompany the course – so you can listen on your MP3 player whenever you like and wherever you are.

The Ultimate Online Tarot Reading Course is a 100% digital online course that you can access any time from any device.
