Psychic or Mediumistic Readings
Psychic readings will often see people using cards whether tarot, angel, ordinary packs or others of their choice, but are they really needed to conduct a reading? Not usually no. If someone is very psychically aware, they shouldn’t need to use a thing in order to do a reading for you. They can just look at you and read you using your energy. Mediumistic readings usually don’t see anyone using anything at all as they just sit with you and they’re off and running. Psychic readings should and could be exactly the same but there is often a difference in the people who do the two different ways and in the people who come to them.
If someone is just a psychic (which means reading from energy and never connecting with spirit) then they might not be able to read you as they aren’t very psychically aware and so will need cards to tell them things. I have seen some pretty dire card readings from those who have been taught by others who were not very gifted at all. They say the strangest things when reading cards and often pick out all the colours they can see in it and tell you the colours mean something individual to you. These are the worst types of reading I have ever seen in my life and are done by people with little or no ability but who are setting themselves up as ‘fortune tellers’ because they want to be, not because they are.
There are others though who do excellent readings using cards and these are the ones who most probably don’t need to use them at all and only have them for one of two reasons.The first is they use them as a focus – something just to help them focus their mind onto the task at hand and often, the cards they pick will be nothing like what they tell you. The time taken to shuffle them and look at them is all it takes to link into your energy and then they can read you and often say things totally different from the cards they pull. These are the people who are truly gifted and who should be working in this field. The other reason some use them is because people coming to us expect to see us use something.
Because they are so used to seeing fortune tellers (clairvoyants) use crystal balls or cards for a reading they think that’s the only way it can be done. They used to think I couldn’t do a proper reading because I wasn’t using anything and so I bought angel cards just to appease future people coming to me and was seen to look like I was using them. It can help to put their energy on the cards or whatever else you use, but a good psychic shouldn’t need that to work so don’t be surprised if you go to one and find they use nothing or don’t ask you to hold or handle what they do use. They are probably the most gifted of the lot. Everyone works a different way to another and as long as you don’t get the slow, methodical, ‘you have blue on this card so that must mean…type of reading chances are it’s a proper good psychic – just make sure it is pertinent to you and not generalised and do not talk during or before the reading or you’ll give them things to work on.
Psychometry is when the psychic or medium holds an object and reads the energy from it. This is a totally different way of working psychically again and needs a pretty good psychic to do it well and accurately as those with little ability will often struggle with this. There can be things wrapped up for them to hold to work from and not visible to the eye, this can often be a real test as some will be able to tell you what is in there even though they can’t see or feel a shape to get a clue.
Mediumistic readings are different as we are working with the spirit world and not energy as psychics do. A psychic isn’t a medium, but mediums are always very highly tuned psychics. We often read both ways when people come to us or even when doing them online as we are able to connect with your energy just because you’ve made contact with us. The way a medium works will mainly be mediumistically as we give information about those in spirit, but at times through the reading we will often work psychically as well picking up on your energy as we read for you. A truly good mediumistic reading will often consist of both, but this doesn’t always have to be the case. I only ever work online now from photographs sent to me – that way no one can feed me any information and this way they get a true reading. From time to time a medium will do purely psychic readings as well for those who need help in other ways and not just to hear from loved ones.
There are other ways people need comfort and a good psychic reading can help with this. One thing most of us will never do though, is the fortune telling style readings. These are done for those who just love going to fortune tellers and who go from one to the other hoping you’ll tell them how to live their lives and who want to hear what’s going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month and next year. They keep going all the time as they are not content with their lives and are constantly searching. A reputable psychic or medium would refuse to do a reading for anyone who has had one in the last six months as those going more often are not living their lives, they’re hoping you’ll tell them how to and what decisions to make and they will make everything fit.
As you all know, no reading is ever guaranteed and there are times we come across people we just cannot read for. It doesn’t happen often but it can be for a variety of reasons. It could be the medium or psychic is over working or ill and so they are shut down in order to make them rest and this does happen, believe me. Or, it could be you are not meant to have a reading that day for whatever reason. It could even be that medium cannot read for you and we have no idea why this happens but it can and has done to me. There is one lady in particular who always wants me to read for her and I have never managed it to this day. Everyone else can read her, but I can’t. Don’t ask me why, it’s one of those mysteries we aren’t meant to know.

I’m Spiritually Gifted – What Shall I Call Myself?
So many times I see people calling themselves all sorts of names which makes it all very confusing for anyone wanting readings, but also for new people with gifts who are just starting their natural development and not knowing what to call themselves because of all the names they hear everywhere. It is very simple and again, something most taught by man make as complicated as they can. There are three names and that’s it. No more and no less with simply no need at all to add anything extra to make yourself sound more important, glamorous, gifted or experienced.
The most popular we hear is psychic medium – why? All mediums are automatically psychically aware to a very high level anyway, that goes without saying. So for the people who don’t know the differences, let me explain. I have already done this before, so please forgive me for those who have already seen this.
Psychic – a psychic is born. Every single person in this world is born psychic and yet the so-called experts are saying they’ve only just discovered this after spending money on extensive tests that meant nothing. It is basically your sixth sense. You often know when someone is staring at you from behind, or who is on the other end of the ‘phone when it rings. You can sense an atmosphere in a room or take instant likes and dislikes to people for no reason. This is your sixth sense or psychic ability at work.
This is what people can sometimes learn to develop to a very high degree in order to do readings using cards, items belonging to people, crystal balls or any manner of things. They work with energy only and are often what most call ‘fortune tellers’. These are the people often called clairvoyants as well even though spiritualists wrongly call mediumship clairvoyance - it isn’t. Psychics never work with the spirit world and so anyone calling themselves a psychic and saying they connect with spirit is someone to run away from as they clearly have no understanding of what it is they think they even are.
Mediums – these are people who are alleged to have contact with the spirit world, whether it is our deceased loved ones or also beings created just as pure spirit e.g spirit guides. Mediums are born and not made even though man says they can learn to acquire this gift. Spiritualists and many others, believe all are born with this ability – they aren’t any more than someone who is born and sings flat as a pancake. They can’t suddenly learn to be a top opera singer and mediumship is exactly the same. If you want to be mediocre and in danger of working with very low energies out to deceive then fine. But it is a God-given gift and as such should not be abused in the manner we often see today as those people born with it will only ever work with pure and high level spirits. We are all born with gifts of our own and shouldn’t try to copy another person’s gifts as it won’t work and mediumship is the same.
To sum up – basically, if you are working with energy or living people to read from and not making any contact with the spirit world you call yourself a psychic or a clairvoyant – no more, no less. Just one word will do and then we all know what it is you do and what sort of reading.
If you have contact with the spirit world and bring hope and comfort to others that there might just well be life after death, then you are a medium and even if you also work psychically (which you will), you are still a medium and so you use that one word – no more no less. If everyone stuck to that simple rule, it would stop all the confusion, but then, man taught love to complicate things as it makes them look far more special and important if they have loads of titles, which is why so many call themselves psychic mediums. If they do that, you can almost guarantee they are man taught and not God-given.
