I took the service at Attercliffe Spiritulaist church in Sheffield yesterday evening. It was An Evening of Clairvoyance.
There was quite a crowd in, which is always nice. They were very receptive to my mediumship.
I enjoyed the event and enjoyed talking to some of the congregation later.
I am there again in September for a Special Evening of Colour. I will post a reminder nearer the time.
A generous heart
Kind speech
A life of service and compassion
Are the things which renew humanity.

Last night was the last circle of the year for the advanced group.
We had another fun night. The students read different things for each other and got some good practice in . They are more than ready for the open circles and one to one readings.
There were cards, ribbons, stones crystal ball and stix. Most of them brought their own, but there were plenty of others for their use. There were some good readings going on with plenty of evidence from spirit as added bonuses.
I like how they have progressed to the point where they are giving spirit a channel to come through. It is very satisfying for them as students and me as teacher.
The new group will start up early in the year. Date to be given later. It will be on Fridays.
The beginners group will have their last circle this Friday. They will all join the other group in the new year. They are ready for it too. There is some good progress being made.
Our church recently played host to a medium with a very big ego. Typical of a medium with a big ego, he offended many people in our church.
I was not in church on this occasion. However, as I was the person who booked him (I am the booking secretary) I do feel a certain responsibility. What follows is what I was told by the committee, who were in attendance at the service in question.
Apparently he seemed a tad agitated when he arrived. He told them he was very popular and that this was his living. He didn’t like the fact that the congregation was small, on this occasion.
He objected to the organist, who at 94 does her very best and is an old treasure. He was quite rude about her.
He was also very rude about other mediums, whose names I will not publish here. He kept saying they were just psychics and not mediums like himself. We know this to be untrue, as we know some of them very well.
He did not want to do philosophy, even though it was pointed out to him that it was a divine service. All mediums are expected to give philosophy during the Sunday divine service.
He kept on telling the chair person that he wanted to hurry it all up and get off. The chair person told me that if any other medium was available to take over, she would have asked him to leave.
He got on with the service, but, according to congregation members, he was very abrupt in his delivery of messages.
What a pity that this medium missed the opportunity to spread love, peace and spirituality.
It is so important for a medium to be humble. Mediums should always remember not to let their ego get the better of them. So I urge you, if you are developing mediumship, don’t develop your ego at the same time.
My advanced development circle are meeting up with my beginners circle this week. On Tuesday they are having a fun night.
A fun night with me consists of all different methods of reading for each other. Colours, angel cards and tarot, stones and ribbons, will all be used. As the new and the old have not yet met, it means they will be reading for ‘new’ people for a change. This is a big step on the way of development for them all.
This should encourage them to venture forth into the open circles and see exactly what they can do. I am looking forward to that.
I know there are some of the advanced group who wish to develop in other areas too. This will be exciting for all the group.
Next spring there will be just the one circle for all developers. There will not be a new one for complete beginners until September 2012.

In the Sheffield Star this Monday evening, 7th November, there was a column which incensed me. It was all about a woman objecting to mediums. Why was she given the column space?
The mediums she objected to, were recently at an event at Dronfield Centre. This event was organised by the Mayor’s office to raise funds for charity. So far so good!
The mediums raised over £250. I know the charitable cause was grateful. Dronfield was grateful. There was of course a ‘Christian Woman’, who was far from grateful. She was angry.
Quoting her bible, she said the mediums were tricking themselves and were really working with the devil, not spirits of loved ones. Is she saying the devil is happy to raise money for charity! She seems to know the devil better than any Spiritualists I know. Spiritualists don’t believe in such a thing as a devil, or in hell. Apart from the ones on Earth that is. We make our own hell.
If this woman is really a Christian, shouldn’t she be behaving in a Christian manner. Demanding that the Mayor, in future, not allow such events with mediums is hardly being Christian. Who does she think she is?
Would this person like to have a go at the Mormon, Judaism, Scientology and Islamic faiths too. Because I am sure she doesn’t agree with them also. Or is it just that mediums and Spiritualism are easy game. We are a registered religion. We have rights too. And we are charitable and caring people. Ask any one of us, and no one will refuse to help a charity if they are able.
I say to her: Be a Christian and Live and Let Live for God’s sake. We are all his children.
My latest development and awareness class for beginners, is moving along nicely. The students are making good progress. I love it when novices first start to realise that they are able to give a message. When they all start development together they encourage each other and the circle is warm and nurturing. Thats what we have here.
They are going to begin using colour next. This will include reading colour in the form of ribbon reading. For some, this will be the catalyst. For others, there will be another.
The more advanced group is also progressing nicely. They are getting more professional in the way they give their messages. They are also getting more confident. They need the confidence. They also need the courage to stand up, but they are finding it easier amongst the warm and friendly group.
Some of the advanced group are nearly ready to stand on the platform. Until then they should work in open circles to get practice outside the groups warm atmosphere. It is quite different when they first stand up and work in public.
If you would like more information about the circles or help finding one, please email me and I will try my best to help.
Yesterday evening, was the first of my new advanced circles for development, at Whitham Road Church in Sheffield. It was well attended with friends old and new.
The group, as always, is a nice bunch of people. They enjoyed the evening and threw themselves into it with enthusiasm. We had a simple start, with meditation and psychometry, but we will begin the hard work next time.
In future weeks I will be teaching colour readings. This will involve ribbons and stones. As well as sand reading, feathers etc.
There will also be the opportunity to try altered states. For most of my group this will be a new aspect of development. Table tapping will also be experimented with.
If you wish to join us, there is still time. Come along next Tuesday for 7.30. You do need some experience of Spiritualism and mediumship.
If you are completely new to the subject, there is a beginners group which I run at the same place on Friday evening. I look forward to meeting you.
Saturday’s Psychic Fair at Whitham Road Church in Sheffield was a great success. And I wish to thank everyone who gave their day voluntarily for spirit and the church. Mediums, psychics, readers, the girls on the door and in the kitchen. Not forgetting the Reiki ladies and the Spiritual readers. Without whom none of this would have happened.
At first we thought that the gorgeous weather would put off people who might prefer to sunbathe. Or go away for the weekend. But we were wrong. Spirit sent us lots of people who were completely new to spiritualism, church and psychic. As well as lots of others who like to come regularly to our events.
It seems that as some went for a walk in the sunshine they spotted the banner outside our church and decided to pop in. This also gave them an opportunity to find out what we are all about and ask many questions about the ism and the chance to develop their own psychic gifts.
So I thank you all. And the church looks forward to welcoming you again, at our services and circles. We run three Fairs per year so watch out for the banner and keep in touch by using our website. http://www.whithamroad.co.uk/index.html
The Daily Mail has been running articles which tell of complaints about one of Sally Morgans shows in Ireland.
They say that she was receiving prompts during the show, and a whole couple of rows of audience are accusing her of fraud. This may have repercussions for the whole movement.
I know many people who have been to some of her roadshows, and they found her lacking………
It is a sad fact that we all get tarred by the same brush. Ms Morgan has very well edited tv shows, but you cannot edit live shows. She boasts of always being correct and of giving outstanding evidence. You have to put your money where your mouth is.
Mediums cannot always deliver the goods. As I have written many times on this blog, we cannot deliver on cue. This is not an exact science. Boasting puts our whole ethos in danger.
Mediums should be humble and honest. We are trying to help those who are saddened and bereaved. We are not here to make a small fortune or brag about our efforts. What happened to modesty Ms Morgan?
