I will go with the spirits

Strangely, my daughter was down for a visit the other day and told me she was going to visit a medium - recommended by her friends. I would never do it - I have no wish to know what may or may not happen. It's all a bit scary. A few months ago I had a very strange experience. I was walking past a certain house and was thinking what a pig sty it was - and something in my mind said, 'Oh well - it's going to burn down.' A few days later I heard sirens, and I knew it was that house. It scared the life out of me, and I certainly don't wish to have that sort of 'revelation' again.

Hi p1ke-I am a medium and normally people like to hear from a loved one who has passed...in readings they show you different things from perhaps earlier years that when you relay to the person only they know what you are talking about..not always fo they say wether you are doing the right thing or notother times they will say to the medium wether they give their approval or not of say moving,,finding a new job etc as you have asked. We work through our Spirit Guides and rely on them to help spirit to come through to give us a message for the person we are reading for as all we are really doing is being a 'channel' between the physical and spiritual world-bright blessings littleowl

If I had the money I would happily do so. But for now saddly I haven't been to one. I would love to have Sylvia Browne come for a visit and tell me all the goodies I have to look forward to and to sugarcoat the bad. Some don't believe in them and it is against their religion to seek the advice of a medium or spirit guide. But to me god gave them the knowledge to help others. Itis how they use it is what counts.

No I've never visited a medium or spirit guide. My mum got thrown out of the spiritualist church once though, it was her first visit and she didn't believe a word of it. She was told that because she was a non-believer she would frighten the spirits away. I had thought about visiting a medium but his date at the Civic Hall was canceled due to unforeseen circumstances. That sort of put me off. My sister in law was told that someone close to her would give birth to a baby boy on 15-10, I was pregnant at the time, my little girl arrived on 16th. Doesn't give you much faith in them does it? Thinking carefully, maybe I should have taken notice of the stars because me and Mr Croc are totally incompatible according to them.

I have had a letter in the post today from a supposed psychic woman who claims to be my 'new friend' and wants me to send more details about myself. It went straight into the recycle bin as I can tell from the way it's addressed that she has bought my name from a website I've registered with, and she is just trying to make money. I did have a friend who had sadly lost her child and she often consulted those people who claimed to have contact with those who have passed over into the spirit world. I did not argue with her that she was wasting her money because she obvioulsy got some comfort from it. I do know some of the methods these people use to pick up on information which their clients claim they could not have known about their past life. As for predicting the future. Well, its easy enough for them to tell people what they know they want to hear.

Though I am a psychic medium I have my own personal ones too. I go to them about ever 6 months or so. It helps alot and sometimes just the perfect guidance I need!

i have never done this before. i don't think i would do it though. int to just don't want to know. i the future is not here yet, and i don't want any sneak peaks. i think focusing on there right here and now is the only way i want to live my life

I never was interested in visiting a medium even when I was young. There was an Ouija card at the place I worked, and someone said I would be close friends or the female version of a man called John, but I know so many people that it could be anybody. I was told that I would bear two children by someone who looked at my hands and I had a long life line, well we adopted two, I had one birth child before marriage, and unless God performs a miracle, it is doubtful I will give birth to another child. In both these cases, I did not ask for the revelation they volunteered and no one took them seriously. I would never consider visiting one now. I mean as a Christian I cannot believe in someone who communes with a spirits and do not want to. Not even in fun or to find out what they say.

I've always wanted to, but never have.

Hi P1kef1sh, Many years ago I did go to a guy who told me that the guy I was seeing was having business worries, well at the time this didn't ring true at all as that day he had phoned to say he had got a new contract which would mean work for the next six months but on arriving home my mumm said that he had phoned so I called and he told me it had all fallen through and as no other work available was going to have to sign on in the morning. I haven't been to one since and doubt if I will again. I tend to trust my own gut instinct more these days than anything. Ellie :D

Not for me Piky,im sure that I have told this story before,but I will tell it again.My sister is a great fan of mediums and when she visits the UK ,she will try to see one.Well one of the last times she came she visited one who belonged to a church in Heanor..and she was a very old lady..she aked about different family names ,and there was a lot of information that she was spot on with,then she decided that there was someone called `Jack` who was there,and he wanted to have a word with my sister,she was doing the regression thingy,well Jack was my fathers name..and my sister said No she didnt want to talk to him..but it was all very surreal and more than I felt comfortable with..if that had been me lol I would have been out of the door long before Jack came into the equation!!..but when you think they are often used by the police,so is there anything in it?

I dealt with many of them but I found out something very important they could not see my future and that was crucial for me. They could see my past and present life right now but not future and I found out later why they could not and that made my life much easier!

I have never actually gone to a medium myself. I took my youngest sister with us to New Orleans one year. She wanted to go to a medium. She was only 13 at the time. I pulled her aside and told her IF this woman did do a reading for her, not to take it to heart, it was probably just a tourist attraction type thing. She came out quite pleased with her reading. Some of the things the medium told her were not general information things. They were pretty in depth and pertained to our family specifically. I have always believed that there are people who have gifts, but I am skeptical of most who claim to have such gifts. I don't think that I would ever seek one out though.

no, i haven't. i think it would be fun to try just to have someone decide the course of my life for me even if it's an intangible not-really-real being. i don't really not believe in paranormal... but i don't lay stock in it either. like i'm too afraid to believe and too cautious to explicitly say it's not real just to be proven wrong in a not so pleasant way...

I haven't visited one and not sure I would. Not sure if I believe in them either.

Hi p1kef1sh, I had my fortune told with cards one time, but that's as close as I've come to that sort of thing. Looking back now, I believe everything worked out much as she said it would. I am interested in that sort of thing but not sure how much I believe of it. The story of Edgar Cayce is very interesting and I think believable, but I'm sure there are many out to make a fast buck. Blessings.

I don't believe in using mediums or spirit guides - I choose to pray to God for guidance.

In the year 2008 and close before that, people, who for centuries did forego superstition, have now gone back to it. This is what the ancient witches and other spiritualists used to do. They make money from it and lead people away from God with it. For Heaven's sake, and I know what that sounds like, don't be so foolish !

hi pike yes i have been to a few, but was disappointed. One told me for sure id be getting my disability after trying a few times, needless to say i still dont have it. funny how they never tell you anything about you. or something that happened to you that maybe only a few know. something to make you believe. Now i know my mom and i have gifts. And yes i have read cards. But most who do don't read their own. They ask someone else to do so, and i wouldn't pick someone who knows you really well. And doing it online is a joke even on the chat rooms, they look at your profile, and say oh i see you like to do drawing, well if on your profile you stated you are an artist, and do this and that, well what do you expect. And another thing, never tell someone things about you . Let them tell you, afterall isnt that what you are paying them for. One of my good friends who did know me, and she knew i was looking for mr right, told me somethings that did and have come true and i have a tape of it. But she told me this, if people truly have a gift of knowledge then it is a gift from God, and you don't ask people to pay you for a gift. Now how many of you have paid for a reading. But ask yourself did they already know you, and how much of yourself did you already give them. I would love to meet someone who could tell me something about me, who first doesnt know me, or my family. And isn't asking for anything. It is hard to find an honest person. Good luck. Lish in ky

I have never been to one ...that kind of thing does not interest me really. One just opened across from my mom's house, maybe I should.
