Quick Questions from Seekers and My Best Answers

How often should I see a psychic?

I suggest once a season. Weather changes and moons bring new events. Personally, I visit my psychic once a month. I need her calming nature and reassurance. Go figure.

Are you awakened at all hours of the night by weird dreams/visions?

Yes, although seldom more than once a night. My dreams have decreased since I began my work on murder cases in '92, and now they occur a few times a month.

Can a person read tarot for themselves?

It is possible but difficult. Our desires get in the way of true "seeing". To learn the cards, a co-worker suggests a study of one card a day. That is a little too dull for me. I now use a seven card spread, but when I started, I did a three card throw. That made it easier for me to decipher. I pulled my best meaning from the pictures on the tarot cards and then looked each of them up in a tarot book. Every few years, I buy a new tarot meaning book. Thirty years later, I am still learning.

Inherited Psychic Ability

A stranger in a beauty shop told me a story. When her grandfather was a boy, he dreamed of a missing dead man. In the morning, he told his mom that it would be hard for the police to find the man hanging from a tree because there were too many bushes around him. Much later, the dead man was found in the spot the boy described.

I told the ladies in the shop that I believe psychic ability is inherited. The stranger said no one in her family has it.

Regarding DNA, science shows more links every year. The most recent concerns Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Current research has found a mutation on the A3243G, a substitution variant at HOXA1 and an insertion variant at HOXB1.

We have no proof, but I am convinced my grandfather and my uncle had Asperger's Syndrome (ASD). I think my first cousin and my brother have it. Could this be anything but DNA?

My senior citizen's hands match my father's before he died. The moles on my neck look just like the ones my grandmother sported. My body weaknesses are a clone of my mom's.

Science will prove things I won't live to see, yet I don't plan to peer from the grave. I use my psychic and intellectual abilities to find answers now.

A Psychic Has a Psychic?

I quote my personal psychic often. When I do, people react with shock. "YOU have a psychic?"

If I want to be irreverant, I say, "A fox can't smell her own hole." If I want to be professional, I ask them, "Do you know how you walk? Can you see the back of your head without a mirror?"

Every day, sometimes five times a day, I read my tarot cards. Sometimes it is to calm an anxious thought, other times I actually wonder what will happen to me that day. Many times that I read, my desires get in the way of my intuitive clarity. The Tower means a sudden change, and if I were reading for another person, I could tell if it seemed negative. For myself, I cannot "know" or "see" with the same abilities I manifest with others.

My own psychic soothes me. She sees work issues in advance and helps me generate ideas to solve them. She give me info to prevent arguments with friends and relatives. Her practical direction fills me with energy.

When you talk, your voice sounds different in your head compared to how it sounds when taped. It is the same for intuition. The added help and another person's perspective make my life easier.

Motherhood Intuition

My youngest child is a freshman in college. I miss his physical plant and his humor, his need for food and help with chores. Something else has been missing and I just figured it out--Motherhood Intuition.

At my daughter's first cry, it kicked in. I somehow knew when she needed me. My children's nuances of behavior seldom slid past me. Their unspoken wants became my desires. Instinctively I cared for them and put them first. The house bulged with feeling and pathos and anger and love.

Now I live alone. My vibes bounce against white walls. I listen for sounds no longer made, for wants now manifested by my grown children. My intuition felt dead.

It is now spring and I know my intuition is alive. No longer Motherhood Intuition, it sweeps and sways and holds court over friends and neighbors, my sister and mom, and clients who seek my services.

Don't tell me it is not done. They are grown, it is done. Now I am a friend to my children. Friend Intuition has taken its place. I am both resigned and relieved.

Ghosts in the Museum

What word do you use, ghosts or spirits? If they are benign, I call them spirits. If they bother me or anyone else, I call them ghosts. Yesterday I saw plenty at the Historical Society Museum in York, Pennsylvania.

It started with a small pair of gloves. From those gloves, hands emerged. From those hands, a woman emerged, a serene lady who hated to clean, loved tea, and liked gloves because they covered her red and chapped hands.

At the blue velvet wedding gown display, a homely face floated out of a high collared lace neckline. This girl had beautiful skin, lovely lips, and brown, wavy, luxuriant hair. I saw her father, a judge, and her mother, a perfectionist. The dress signified freedom from the confines of a rigid household.

My museum companion barely talked. "Swords, swords, swords," he muttered.

I saw blood drip off a curved relic. I noticed a broken and healed wrist attached to sword with a tiger head top. I smelled sweaty men, tobacco and horses. My ears hurt from the noise of battle.

Grandfather clocks with no sound bombarded me. This house, that room. Narrow people and rotund.

The '50's kitchen replica felt like home. I leaned over its barrier and my spirit sank into a chair. My pretend mother gave me cake. The open door of the ice box released smells that no longer exist.

I loved it. I suggest you visit your local museum. Check out the ghosts and spirits. Open your senses and enter the past.

Follow Your Heart or Stay on Your Path--Psychic Advice for Michele

I am in my last year of law school, and I am having trouble deciding where my path leads. Basically, I have an almost certain job offer at a small insurance firm where I work part time now, but I feel drawn to work as a district attorney or in public interest. Will I get an offer in one of those areas or should I stick to where I am?

Michele

You have a strong heart and a good work ethic. I can answer this question as a teacher instead of a psychic, although both my jobs intertwine. Follow your heart. You will get a job as a district attorney or in the public interest if you stay in that path 100%.

Getting through law school means you have given 100% so far. Why stop now? Money can come later. A job at a firm can be part of your distant future. While you are young, take chances, do good work and follow your dreams. You will get any job you want, although it could take a bit of time or involve a move within 100 miles.

Go for the gusto gal!

Snoop a Stranger's Business--Psychic Advice for Chip and his sister

My nephew died from leukemia this year. My sister is mourning. She is thinking about contacting a medium. Do you know anything about them?
Chip

I do not know any mediums personally. I did talk to a client last month whose son had passed on, yet she was still able to see him. She asked for my help in trying to hear him. I suggested that her ability to see him was a gift and I encouraged her to be happy with either seeing or hearing him.

If your sister does decide to try to find a medium, be really careful. People claim to be what they are not. It takes a huge amount of energy for me to work on murder cases...to see and hear people who have passed. I do not know how anyone could work as a medium more than once, or at most, twice a day.

Instead of seeking another person to be a medium, maybe your sister can try to do it on her own. When she is reminded of her son, I suggest she try not to fight it, despite her pain. Hear him and see him and immerse herself in what she might believe is a memory. Psychic abilities and memories lie on the same brain path...a floating kind of looseness of thought.

To connect with another dimension, one must not be afraid. To experience anything new, one must use a leap of faith. We all have difficulty with change, and her son has changed form. His physical plant is gone but he can live on in her mind and life. She can find joy where he found joy.

I hope I have helped. My best to your family in your time of sorrow.
