Last night vistor, Dead like Me and my son

Went to work and got to the dairy department which is where they had me working. I was stocking yogurt and a large three shelf cart (m cart is our name for them), higher than 5 foot was to my right side. I started to feel like I was on drugs and very foggy. I turned toward the cart and a man in his early to mid 20s with light brown hair walked on the other side of the M cart. I was quick to think this was a spirit because he wasn't a solid mass. I walked over to that side of the cart and sure enough there was no one there.
I decided to take a break at this point thinking I needed to clear my head, not because of the spirit but because I was feeling so out of it by this point. I went to a break room and sat alone. By the time I returned, there was no one there and I didn't feel drugged anymore and never did the rest of the night. I also did not see anyone else all night long.
I think this person may have been drugged or on drugs when he died like a hospital would give you or like illegal drugs do to a person. I tried to ask at one point before seeing the man if he would stop the feeling because I was having a hard time working but that didn't seem to work. It actually seemed to help leaving the place I was at and letting the spirit know I was not interested at this moment in interaction, mainly because I was at work.

Also on lunch I ended up switching channels which is something I do often and the show 'Dead like Me' was on. It was the first episode for it as well. Now in itself I would have thought little about this but the night before this one, I had found the same show on tv at home and the same episode. Not sure if this is important or just random.

If anyone reading this is a healer, can you please send some white light and some good energy to my oldest son. He is 17 which is a hard time for any kid and he is like most thinking life outside of my house would be easier. I can relate and I don't hold it against him but am hoping this moment between child and going into adult hood is as smooth as it can be. I think he could use some energy which helps him excel in his life and brings good fortune his way. Thanks if you do.

Portals to the dead

Tombstones or the grave itself are great ways to connect to our loved ones. The grave and the tombstone act as portals to the other side. You can use anything which your loved one would have been tied to in this life. Even though those who have passed on are not in any pain, their ties to their old lives are still there just as we know we are tied even now to our past lives. So a favorite item can also be used or a urn or in some cases a car they were in love with can be used as portals to connect to them.
You might feel their energy with the items when you hold them. A lot of people are drawn to grave sites for this reason. A husband might visit his wife after she has passed on until he dies. He knows she isn't there but will use words or phrases like 'I feel close to her when I'm there' or 'its like talking to her still'. Sometimes you hear things like 'I swear he/she is still hanging out in that old car of his' or 'sometimes I pick up his watch and I get these pictures of him'
Now sometimes their spirit is actually with us and in the room and pictures/feelings are great ways to know they are there with us. But most times at cemeteries and even at our houses, this isn't the case. What you are actually doing is connecting to the other side or to the other plane depending on your view point of the afterlife. Connecting like a medium is done when the loved one connects on purpose to the medium. Connecting to our loved ones spirit through items and places is done by us and not our loved ones. *Don't worry they don't mind us bothering them* Both are truly connecting to spirits and usually a medium will let you know if the spirit is in the room or the spirit is connecting from the other side. Both kinds of connection bring up pictures, feelings and random thoughts. Usually if the spirit is in the room itself, you may see the spirit in form, you might have the a cobweb feeling or you might see things move. Spirit in a room requires the spirit to either pass back over or not to have passed to start with. Realize even if you connect to the other side, they are as alive as you and there are beliefs that the other planes exist at the same time and space as ours so it is pretty close to your loved one in a room. The only difference would be if the loved one was in your plane, they cross over to this plane which can take a lot of energy on your part and theirs.
The Portals as I like to refer to them are the easiest ways to connect. Your loved one is likely to be tied to the item, place or grave even if not in a physical sense.
So remember the next time you visit grandma, your wife or anyone you love at their grave, you can actually talk to them and they can actually hear us.

I've known this part for years and didn't realize I did until I started to learn more about being a medium. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at anovelescape@yahoo.com or post it on here. Our loved ones are a lot easier to connect to and they really are not that far away. :)

Knowning what you want?!

Even though I'm psychic, there are times the universe knows better than I do. I kept seeing purple and wanted to get a purple cloth for table readings for when i start doing shows. I kept thinking yeah that is what I want, a light bright purple. Instead I decided when I got to the shop, to get the yellow one with lizards on it. Now at the time I was ok with it but wasn't my first choice and wasn't what I thought I should be getting. But I like yellow and adore yellow and purple together. So when I got home I put it on the card table and put my amethyst stones on it and went WOW. The universe so knows me better than I do!

Mediumship

My background....

I've been going to graves since I was 17 and I'm close to 40 now. I went there the first time and was walking around with a friend of mine. He was being rude and climbing on stones. This upset me and I remember walking away from him disgusted. After a little bit, I looked up into the sky. It wasn't too bright but it wasn't cloudy. I know there are no words for how I felt next. The peace was beyond anything I'd ever felt. I thought about how heaven must be like this. It wasn't happy or sad or really anything. It was like being in total oneness to the world and myself at the same time. I said for years, I was touched by God that day and from that moment on, I visited countless cemeteries.

Two more recent events were with crossed over family members. I went searching for my dad's family tree and anyone who has ever done this will tell you it is a headache in the making. I searched list after list, family name after family name and large amounts of census records. Even though the web sites for this kind of thing are helpful, they still can present huge amounts of time consuming lists.
During this time, I was hanging out with a spiritual group over in the thumb area. As I did the Spencer side of my father's family, I started to ask the past family if they were around for help. I started to make sense of the lists and names and all of a sudden it clicked. I did the same thing for the other side of his family and it clicked.
Now the spiritual group was an important thing because I realized after finding the family tree, my Spencer side lived in the very same area I was hanging out in. I also for months told people without my family who was no longer alive, I'd never would have found them.

The other moment happened last month. I went looking, when I first met my husband, for his birth mother who he had not seen for 10 years and found very little. Last month I went looking again for the sure h*ll of it and was surprised to find his grandmother's obit which by the way linked me to names including his mother. His mom was listed with him and his two bothers on the obit so it gave me a pretty good sign this was her. It was and he has since talked to her on the phone. His grandmother had passed away in Jan. 2010 and I truly believe she helped me find his mom.

According to Lisa Williams, this all means I've been creating links to spirits without realizing it. Though the links are not strong enough to get visions, words and messages, it is the first step in connecting to the spirit world. Where I am now is trying to get stronger links which last longer and am at times creating this. I'm looking at taking more classes and becoming part of a very small group this summer to help meditate and to work on my connections to spirits!

during my walk

I went for a walk today and it was a 2.7 mile walk. When I got to the end, I passed an elderly couple. Every time I looked at them and only when I looked at them, I saw a female's face and this female was in late teens to early 20s. This face was big enough to cover the both of them. I figured this female was one they both knew. I didn't ask the couple because one I'm not ready and two I didn't know them. It was the highlight of the day.

Oh I found this test online! www.psychicnavigator.net/esp-quiz.html

this test color but also gives you points for being close. Like if you get yellow but you get the darker instead of the lighter yellow, you still get 3 points. If you had been right on, you would have gotten 4 points. still cool you get points for knowning but not having it tuned in on the right yellow. In the end, it will rate how psychic you are based on your score.

A very Interesting Time!

I've been trying to find mediumship classes, books and ect.. for the last two weeks. I've tried bing and google both for help in finding the webpages. Of course I found a few but not really what I was looking for. I was becoming frustrated and not sure what to do. I knew this meant it wasn't time for me to find anything. Then I stumble onto Lisa Williams page and realized she offers e-classes for mediumship and this at least gave me a sense this was the right path.
So yesterday I felt the need to visit the local cemetery which I'm sure was my guides pushing me out the door and I went. I walked to my Uncle Otto's grave and my Aunt Erna. Then I did what I always do which is walk endlessly around the place. It's pretty big so it takes a good half hour to hour to walk the whole thing. When I started I told the spirits, whoever might be there, I was ready to begin and see ghosts. I might jump, be scared and seem a bit off at first but I was ready and this was to be expected. When I got back all the way around and was standing at my Aunt Erna's grave, I told her I needed her help. I couldn't be a medium or do anything without her helping me. I also walked a little ways over and asked my Uncle Otto if he would help me too. Without them, there was no way I'd ever be able to learn how.
I went home not sure if I would get the help I needed or not. I got online and research for the kick of it, mediumship. Only this time, page after page after page popped up on how to learn to become a medium. I found an old book, the whole thing online, from 1903. I found several places which offer mediumship and one that actually offers other psychic classes for under $100. So one, I guess it helps to ask which we all tend to forget to do and two, Thanks! Uncle Otto and Aunt Erna and everyone else who is helping me find my way. Without you, I think I'd be lost!


Side note....
Health care! Wow, what a ride. First, I've never seen a house so divided. Maybe it needs smugged! I'm serious. The vote was so one sided but its politics and even though the Republicans won't admit it, I'm sure they had dealings with their own side about if you vote for this, mmmm, we won't vote for this other thing. Happens all the time in Washington. Sad but so very true.
Second, this thing takes so long to go into effect. 2014. I think we can amend it, overhaul it and possible destroy it way before it comes to light of day. Well we will all have to see what happens. I think it won't be as bad as what people think it will be. Besides the cost of Iraq was probably more than the health bill will be and at least this is trying to truly help people where Iraq was about power and oil.
Politics what can you do!????

Tarot Cards of the Day

My pick is 10 of Swords

This card is about self sacrifice and giving up something of yourself (your world) in order to gains things. I like to think of it as the Martyr card. It always tells me someone is going to be the reason why things change or have changed and not outside forces. If you pull this card, look to see what is holding you back and what you can lose to gain. Never think it means horrible events though sometimes change can be hard and losing anything is not always easy, it is important for your personal growth!


The book I was talking about yesterday ( i think it was yesterday) is
Spirit Guides Angel Guardians by Richard Webster
printed in 2004

Hope everyone is having a great weekend and loving the warmer temps!

Dreams Dreams and more Dreams

Ok so it's only one dream but what a dream! Allie eat your heart out! :) Just kidding, there's no way I'm doing OBE like you! You are the master! I bow down to the gyspy queen!

http://www.gypsyadvice.com/

Now as for my dream it went like this

I was at my parents house with my boys. I was asked to take them up north to the Mackinaw Bridge early in the day. I said ok. I had a few things pop up and we couldn't go until it was dark. I told my boys that we would not be going because I had to work and didn't have three hours to get them there. My mom shouted at me 'no, it doesn't take that long and yes you can'. I said fine I would and went to get them both and my youngest one was on a computer and I had to wait for him to get off it. I also had to wait for him to find a power cord to the monitor which would work for a different one.

Thing is my oldest son came in my room and woke me up.

He wanted to go to Josh's house and it was dark outside. After looking at the time because I have to work tonight, I said yes. It's only about a 20-30 min drive one way. I got up and told them both to hurry up because my youngest was on my laptop and my oldest was looking for a controller to use with his friend's xbox.

I was like wow.... I use to have dreams like these when they were younger. I can remember having dreams where I would be asleep and I would dream what was happening in the house. I would wake up and sure enough find out I had dreamt pretty close to what they were doing. One time I was even in my youngest son's computer game and woke up to find him playing it which he had not even been in the room when I fell asleep.

SIDE NOTE PLEASE KEEP READING....

Read a new book today and I'll post in the next couple of days what it was. Thing is it said Automatic Writing is a way to contact Spirit Guides. You can ask a question like what they want to say or show you and according to this book you should get an answer in the writing.

Hmmm... don't know if it works but thought I should share it.

Not enough hours in the day!

tired but still working on my blog, website and more.... but the pillow keeps calling!

Anyway :) Cards for today

3 cups

getting what you want in a group, celebrating as a group, friends, family, having a good time with others. Also means joy, bliss and reunion.

This card usually means there has been a couple, group or partnership going on and they will find rewards to celebrate about. If this happens to cross you like in a Celtic reading, you would find you wont get to work with groups, the group is in your way of getting what you want or the group won't be able to get its rewards yet. Look to the problem cards in the reading if there are some and see if it says anything about delays or rewards are not happening yet. This will re state the 3 of cups if it was pulled in the Crosses spot.

3 of Pentacles

study, work, creation and getting what you want by believing it. Look to this card for hints on skill, progress and foundation. This is a card probably will be about being creative with your work or studies in order to get what you want or to keep things on path. If this is a past card, look for it to be about your creative need and your progress at work or with your studies is ending. You may need to find new skills or wait it out depending on what other cards come up.

#3

should you pull repeated 3 cards in a reading, look for it to mean power, creative, all and/or completion. It is a powerful number which is used repeatably in spiritual religions as well as metaphysical text. If you pull 3 of the 5 #3 cards, Remind yourself you are in power of your life, you have the creative will power to change whatever is happening and you can complete anything you like. These cards would be 3 OF CUPS, 3 OF SWORDS, 3 OF COINS, 3 OF WANDS and the major card THE EMPRESS

Someone visting me?

A couple nights ago, someone was visiting me and I don't know if they come by my blog or not.

First of all my dreams are all over the place. I usually jump from swimming to volleyball to watching a flower grow and realizing I'm a flower. I mean, they make little sense unless you start doing dream analyst.

So.... when I started to have a dream where I'm in a room talking to someone and that's it, I'm pretty sure someone either had me in their dream or they came to mine to talk. Plain room with a color of tan. Little in the room other than a table which has some papers on it. It looks like a hotel room. This person talks to me and we have a good conversation. When I wake up, I can't remember who it is or what we talked about.

Any ideas who this is? this person visited me at least twice that I remember. Its been bugging me. The only time this happened before was at a psychic fair and I ended up on a beach with a guy. The whole dream was him and me walking on this beach. Felt like one of my longer dreams too.

On a different note...

I'm going to talk to my job about going down no Thur and Fri nights so I can start doing things which help my psychic job more. I'm thinking of starting to take appointments for day and evening Fridays and daytime on sat for readings. I'm thinking it would be a good idea to travel to their house or have them come to mine.

Now My Cards of the Day

King of Wands

Theatrical, over the top, lots going on and drama.

Also can mean high spiritness, uses arts to express.
Realize too some decks have different meanings which is why you have to find a deck which calls to you and one which speaks to you. It should always feel comfortable and never like that card can't possible mean that. I said all this because on some decks this card can mean balance/harmony but in my deck it doesn't. The Kind of Wands is always for mine about those moments where things are out of hand, people are way over acting and there is just too much drama going on whether from the person getting the reading or those around him/her.

2 of Wands

Seems I'm having a wand day.
this card is about having the world at your finger tips, feeling like you can have it all and being ready to take on anything. It does not however mean you know what to do with any of this so watch for cards which show what is needed to be done or what has been going on.

Such as the King of Wands along with the 2 of Wands might mean I have the world at my fingers but I have a whole lot of drama with it. I might be able to get what I want but it might be over the top or bring a lot of high spiritness into my life so I might need to be careful.

The 2 of Wands is only stating you have your kingdom but isn't telling you what you're doing with it.

Some interesting cards and books!

Books

They Don't See What I See by Ruth Berger

This book is about connecting to spirits (earthbound) and channelling. Though Channeling isn't my thing, I did find the connection to spirits helpful and meaningful. I also noted to myself the number of times I got images about my own life as I was reading. Nice to have input from my guides! :) neat too to realize I was reading this book and my coffee cup says Berger on it!

The Search For 11:11 by George Mathieu Barnard

Interesting book. It is about connecting to spirit guides and higher beings and it covers the wake-up calls at 11:11
This book I haven't finished yet but am finding it helpful. My guides seem more active and speaking more since starting to read it. I'm not much into the whole number means stuff but I do believe if you keep seeing something or hearing or noticing it over and over, there has to be a reason. In that, I give this book a thumbs up for reminding us how important any sign from our guides is and we should be paying more attention to them.


CARDS

Knight of Swords
Means to have action over words, it is a noble cause, righteous, maybe too immature. This card is also about being quick because the drive may fizzle quickly. A very bold card but can cause chaos.

Page of Cups
Means Youthful love, stylish, creative, tender hearted and sensitive. This is also a card about births, trust issues and embracing child like wonder.


Your psychic friend,
Terra Graves

Warm weather, tired and a Eight of Coins

or the Eight of Pentacles which is ever you call it is fine. Its the get to work card, the get busy and get making it happen card. I also hear the pharse 'Get r Done' when I draw this one.

Great weather even with some rain! Love the no coat and everyone is out being active for the most part. Great time to catch up with family, friends and loved ones.

Look for the next couple of days to go over Pages and what they mean. I need a refresher in it and this is a great way for you to learn and me to remember! :)

Now if Icould just get some sleep but with pulling the Eight of Pentacles, I somehow don't think I get to yet. :) LOL Guess I should have went to bed and left watching Late Late show with Craig a differnt day!

Sunny and Warm

Yesterday I pulled the 8 of Cups which is about moving away from the current in any other direction. Also means progress, growth and journey.

So as I sit here looking out at the sunshine and the warm 50 degrees (I live in Michigan- its been 30 or less for months) I see how even nature is doing a 8 of Cups. Journeying from Winter into spring. The trees are growning and soon will have green leaves. I'm not sure what Nature will learn on this path but either do I know what I will learn.

Tarot cards

Everyone knows there are more decks than I can list on here but here is one place really worth checking out if you plan on buying one soon.

http://www.llewellyn.com/

Card of the day

2 of wands

meaning
you have control, you are a leader and can do what you want, like having the world in your hands

this card though does not tell you what to do with this control or your life, it only shows you have it.

remember though... If you pull other cards with it, it can change its meaning. such as the Lover card might mean you have control in your relationship but may not mean in your life. Or if you pull the Tower card next to it, you might be looking at your whole world changes, the very foundation coming apart but you will be in control of how it happens or at least feel that way.

I like the 2 of wands because it always reminds me I can do this, I have power and I am the one in control of the issue about me. Sometimes we forget we have the power as the one getting the reading, not the psychic or the problem. The 2 of wands is reminding you of that and wants you to now find what you want to do with it!

Past lives

Past lives

Boyfriends are great past life issues as well as jobs, family and friends.

Ever wonder why your boyfriend won't leave and you are drawn to him even though his horrible for you?
Ever wonder why your job is sucking the life our of you but you feel you can't leave?
Ever wonder why your mother is more like your daughter or your friend fights you like a parent?

Try thinking about how your life is connected to your past lives. Now think about the life sucking job and why you can't leave. In your last past life, did you feel you should hold one job to support your family and be loyal to that company? Did you not hold jobs well forcing you to move around a lot which caused pain and problems thinking 'if only' you had one job your whole life things would have been different?

When we start looking at past lives and our current problems, we start to see why we feel stuck, why we can't leave or why we hang out with people who don't benfit us.

Now getting out of this hateful job of ours, is more about being ok with change and might have to do with not be loyal to a company. When we come to terms on this, we can usaully start to find a better less sucky job which fits us better.

Tonight, take a problem. List it out. List how it might relate to our past lives. Where are you stuck, what are you learning and how is this your lesson to learn from your past life? See where you can change, what you need to deal with and start growning in this life by finding closer to your past life.

Tarot cards for 3/5/2010

My cards I pulled were as follows

The World (upside down)
King of Cups
Ace of Swords
The Magician
The Wheel

Quick thoughts were:
I'm still stuck but I need to be open-minded since I can create anything I want and it is the timing which matters right now.

The King of Cups brings to mind the need to be honest, communicate and have a heart in all matters at this time.
Ace of swords is about focus and insights and clarity.

these two are important cards in this reading because it shows how even though the world is not mine (being it was upside down), I can still get what I seek. These two are showing me how to do it.

Where the last two The Magician (a card about creating and taking illusions to make things real) and the Wheel (a card about timing and moments and being very aware as to how your wheel is turning right now) are reminding me how it is up to me in the end to get the things are want.

Card of the day for everyone!

Ace of Cups

Meaning is Love, Compassion, Matters of the Heart, Good

Now understand this also can mean coming together, overflowing, love in personal or mental. It will depend of the cards pulled with it. such as if the Hang Man was pulled with it, there may be a stalled love going on. But if the Devil is pulled you might take this card to be a chained love or abusive one. Then again if the Lovers card is drawn you would be looking at two lovers enjoying themselves no matter if it was a new love or old one.

Look to the cards around it to see there meaning as well. Also learn placement in your reading to understand how or why this is the card drawn. Past could be talking about a true love now vanished or Future might be saying there is a new love on the horizon or love might play a role in what you want to gain.

Ace of Cups is a powerful card but always write down a few notes about quick thoughts you first came up with before looking deeper. These will help give you better meaning as the readings continues also your first thoughts are usually your guides so trust them to be right. They are giving you insights for a reason and want you to look at this information they are giving you so never dismiss it even if your card meaning might not fall in line. Look at other cards to see if that is why you thought it or why your thoughts were going in that direction.
