Angel Readings

We all have Angel and Spirit Guides and they are always with us. Angel Readings are for everyone – you don’t have to be religious to benefit from a Psychic Reading that will connect you with your Angel Guides. Angel Readings typically require the reader to use channeling, card readings and other techniques, such as Clairaudience, to connect with your Guides. During these angelic Psychic Readings, you may receive guidance from other Spirit Guides. This can include messages or information from loved ones who have passed over to the spirit world. When receiving angelic guidance during Psychic Readings, your Guides will attempt to provide the reader with the information they believe you may need to know.

Animal Communicators

Animal Communicators, also known as Pet Psychics and Pet Whisperers, are able to telepathically and empathically connect with animals. Pet Psychics can use their unique ability to communicate with animals to help you learn about your pet’s likes and dislikes; understand his or her behavior patterns and emotions and connect with animals that have passed over.

Astrology

Astrology is the study of how the planets’ patterns relate to human events. The birth of Astrology is credited to ancient Babylonians who used Astrology to chart the recurrence of seasons and other celestial happenings. An Astrology Reading goes beyond your Sun sign. It can provide timing for a move or career change; compatibility with partners, friends and family; and can help you learn more about who you are and why you are here. Many people, including celebrities, royalty, scholars and psychologists, get an Astrology Reading to gain a better understanding of who they are and the path they are on. And so can you.

Cartomancy

The art of using playing cards for a Tarot Reading has been in existence for centuries and said to have originated in 14th century Europe. During a Cartomancy Reading, the playing cards are dealt in the same way a traditional tarot deck is spread. Playing cards and tarot cards have many similarities. Both represent the Minor Arcana, which consist of four suits: Wands (Clubs); Cups (Hearts); Swords (Spades); and Pentacles (Diamonds). Tarot decks and playing card decks differ in two ways. Instead of three face cards, the tarot deck has four face cards, known as court cards. They are the Page, Knight, Queen and King. Tarot decks also have an additional suit of cards: the Major Arcana.

Despite these subtle differences, Psychics who practice Cartomancy as a Tarot Reading are just as powerful and insightful as those who use a traditional tarot deck. Ready for your reading? Whether your questions are about love, career or finding happiness, a Tarot Reading may offer the insights you are seeking.

Clairaudient

Psychics with Clairaudient abilities ‘hear’ messages. Unlike Clairvoyants who ‘see’ images in their mind’s eye, Clairaudients receive information by ‘hearing’ messages in their mind. The term Clairaudient is used to distinguish this gift because of the unique ‘audio’ or hearing component of the gift. A Clairaudient can provide guidance by receiving messages through sound or words from his or her Spirit Guides or those who have passed over.

Clairsentient

Psychics with Clairsentient abilities feel and capture information through both emotional and physical sensations. For example, they may feel extreme heat on their hands even though they are not touching anything warm. A Clairsentient is an empathetic person who can sense energies around a person, place or thing. Energies may be light or heavy, or feel ‘good’ or ‘bad.’ Psychics with this gift may also experience other physical sensations when connecting with their Spirit Guides, such as a strong or sweet smell of flowers, or the hair rising on the back of their necks.

Clairvoyant

Psychics who are Clairvoyant see people, objects or events at a distance. Some Clairvoyants see shapes, colors or other images. They may see an event or even a ‘picture show’ before their eyes. All are considered Clairvoyant experiences. Clairvoyance is often used as a catch-all phrase for many of the extra sensory perceptions – such as Clairsentience and Clairaudience.

Crystals

Crystals have traditional meanings associated with them, which allow Psychics to answer quick questions as well as delve deeper into your past, present and future. Because of their connection to the earth’s energies, Crystals are an effective casting tool sometimes used by Psychics.

Crystals are tossed on a flat surface and their positions are ‘read.’ They are also used as a catalyst for channeling energy and information by looking into or simply touching the Crystals.

Most Crystals have spiritual, mental and astrological meaning and healing effects. During a reading, Crystals can provide Psychics with information and insight that may help answer your questions about love, career and happiness.

Dream Interpretation

Dreams are a symbolic language. Psychologists, scholars and Psychics agree that dreams are a gateway to the subconscious mind - a way to receive guidance and spiritual instruction.

The art of Dream Interpretation is deciphering and determining the meaning of the symbolic content of dreams. This insightful art form dates back to 3000-4000 B.C., when the meaning of dreams were documented in clay tablets. In many cultures, such as the Native American and Aborigine, dreams are the soul’s journey to another world.

Psychics who interpret dreams assess themes and symbols in your dreams to help you understand how you are subconsciously feeling about or reacting to a current situation in your life. To prepare for Dream Interpretation, our Psychics recommend keeping paper and a pencil by your bedside. When you awake from a dream, note the details. The more details remembered about the dream, the better.

Empath

Empaths have the ability to sense and feel the emotions and energies of people, animals, or objects. Empaths are said to access these feelings through the stimulation of many of the psychic gifts, such as Clairvoyance and Clairaudience. While many Psychics have the gift of Empathy, it is not necessarily considered a psychic ability. Psychic ability is associated with the mind, while Empathy is aligned with the nervous system. Everything has an energetic vibration or frequency that is often not recognizable to the five senses. An Empath is able to sense these vibrations. An Empath has the ability to scan another's psyche to gain a deeper understanding of his/her thoughts and feelings.

Numerology

Numerology is one of the most ancient methods of divination. A Numerology Reading uses patterns and symbolism reflected in numbers to indicate future influences. There is evidence of Numerology being used thousands of years ago in China, Rome, Greece and Egypt. In the 6th century B.C., getting and giving a Numerology Reading became more common. This was when Greek philosopher and mathematician, Pythagoras, taught others the power of a Numerology Reading. In a Numerology Reading the numbers in your birth date are totaled to indicate your Life Path. This Life Path influences who you are and what will happen during your lifetime.

Past Life Recall

Many Psychics have the ability to look into your past lives. Reincarnation and Past Life Recall contain ideas that we live multiple lifetimes on Earth. In some religions, such as Buddhism, a person experiences reincarnation, the rebirth of a soul in a different body, a multitude of times, in different lifetimes, until they ‘get it right.’ Each lifetime, a person comes back carrying new lessons to be learned, relationships to be had and/or fears to be conquered. Psychics use Past Life Recall to understand positive and negative patterns, habits or phobias in an existing lifetime that may have carried over. While there are many methods to unfold past lifetimes, such as hypnosis, meditation and crystal gazing, many Psychics use the psychic arts such as Clairvoyance, Clairaudience or the Tarot to learn more about a past lifetime.

Pendulum

A Pendulum is a small weight suspended on a piece of thread, chain, or cord. The small weight could be something as simple as a paper clip or a wedding band – the energy is not picky! Many Psychics choose pendulums that are beautifully ornate – some made from psychic-enhancing crystals such as quartz and amethyst. The Pendulum is a powerful tool and has been used by Psychics for centuries. In ancient China, Authentic Psychics use Pendulums to ward off evil spirits. In ancient Egypt, one was used to determine the best place to grow crops. Authentic Psychics use Pendulums to communicate with the deeper levels of universal energy that surrounds all of us. They use the movement to interpret answers to your questions. Psychics may use the Pendulum to provide insights for all aspects of life. The pendulum swings are guided by the power of universal energy – the energy of the earth and all its inhabitants, and the entire Universe. Psychics may choose to use a Pendulum in your reading to help you find a lost object, select a potential mate, communicate with spirits and explore past lives.

Psychic

Psychic abilities extend beyond ordinary reality. Psychic Readers are able to see, hear, feel, taste, smell and/or sense energies and receive messages from the cosmic consciousness. Psychic phenomenon is also known as psi. This is an umbrella term for all the psychic arts such as ESP (extra-sensory perception), which includes such gifts as Telepathy, Clairvoyance, Clairaudience and Clairsentience. It’s also a reference to Psycho kinesis (formerly known as telekinesis), out-of-body experiences, near-death experiences, Mediumship and reincarnation.

Runes

Runes are an ancient Nordic alphabet and have both a letter identity and spiritual designation.

There are 25 marked stones and one blank stone; each with a unique name, meaning and sound. These stones have been used by ancient warriors as magical amulets in battle and by women in protection of their homes and children. Psychic Mediums have used Runes for centuries as a divination tool to provide guidance and connect with the Divine. When connecting with Psychics who use Runes, have your specific questions ready. Asking open-ended questions may result in fuzzy answers.

Spirit Guides

Spirit Guides are souls who have lived many lifetimes and have acquired a great deal of wisdom.

A Spirit Guide’s purpose is to aid and guide others who are trying to achieve spiritual enlightenment. Spiritual Psychics who receive messages from Spirit Guides are also known as “Channelers”. The messages that Psychics channel from their Spirit Guides or yours may be received through Clairaudience, Clairvoyance or Clairsentience, depending on the individual’s unique gift.

Tarot Cards

Tarot Readings are believed to have originated in Egypt centuries ago. The pictures on tarot cards enhance a reader’s intuition and ability to answer specific questions or offer general Tarot Readings. Traditionally there are 78 cards used in Tarot Readings - they are divided into Major and Minor Arcanas. The Major Arcana represent major themes in life. When they appear in your reading, the energy is very strong. There are 56 Minor Arcana cards in a deck - the Queen of Wands, the King of Swords and the Two of Pentacles are a few examples. The Minor Arcana cards are not as powerful as the Major Arcana, but they are still important because they deal with everyday life.
