Part 2
Did I leave you hanging? Well let’s get back into it.
After my divorce I found myself again looking for a spiritual connection, and I found myself at a local Spiritualist Church. (Not just A spiritualist church but THE mother of Spiritualist Churches—which I will discuss further in another blog!)
The first time I was there, I received an evidential message and a welcome into the religion of Spiritualism.
I was a student again, this time re-learning the innate gifts I already held, and taking them further. I became a member, a healer, and a medium. At the same time, I was working as a certified Hospice nurse, and my world on both sides of the veil was expanding. Before too long I was serving on the Board of Directors and truly feeling at home with my new friends, faith, and path. American modern Spiritualism has it’s very roots in my city, and I was honored to speak at the same podium where in past days, Susan B Anthony, Frederick Douglass, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle spoke.
Doomsayers say all good things come to an end, but I prefer to say that nothing is static and when one door closes, another opens.
In 2020, just as the Covid pandemic was taking hold, the other members of the board and I parted ways with the church that had been our home. There were extenuating circumstances that preceded our move, and some sadness as well. However, out of this came the genesis of a free and open Spiritualist Church. Hence the Rochester Spiritualist Society was born. As a co-founder and board member, the final pieces of my spiritual life came together. Creating a spiritual haven (first online during the pandemic and now in person), was life changing and profound. We have grown into a thriving independent church, practicing the religion, science, and philosophy that is modern Spiritualism.
As I grew my metaphysical strengths, I began to feel a pull to Tarot. I took some classes, but it never really made sense. Trying to memorize all of the cards, symbols and meanings seemed like too much. One day, I may have been meditating or just talking to my guides in general, I was given the message that rules are sometimes meant to be broken, and to look with different eyes. And when I did, the world of Tarot opened up.
No longer concerned with memorizing placements, spreads, and meanings, I learned to pull the cards and just tell the story.
And just like that, it all became clear.
The first time I ever read anyone other than friends, I was in a charity event, where people were literally lined up to receive their readings. I was scared, nervous, and worried that the readings would not make sense, and that I would lose any credibility I was trying to earn. I don’t know who was more surprised, myself or the querents, when the readings consistently and repeatedly made sense, were meaningful, and held value! Learning to trust Spirit to guide my intuition and words was a game changer. I didn’t (and still don’t) bother with fancy spreads. I don’t worry about what the traditional meanings of the cards are except in rudimentary ways. Instead, I am Spirit-led, and allow the cards to speak for themselves.
Over the last few years, I have been in many local vendor events, and I do public readings locally around town. I now include my mediumship and psychic abilities as well. When I describe my readings as intuitive and Spirit-led, that is exactly what they are.
I became a psychopomp a few years ago. (Rescue Medium is a more common term, but I like the word Psychopomp). Basically I was called by Odin, Death, and Hel to help cross spirits over when they are stuck. (more in another blog post!)
I added Life Coaching to my trainings, as well as Unity Field Healing, and I am now in the position to offer a comprehensive healing/coaching experience, using all of my gifts and the guidance of Spirit. Hence, this website was born.
Upcoming blogs will focus on Spiritualism, Unity Field Healing, Psychopompery, and other interesting spiritual and metaphysical bits and pieces.
