How Spirit Let us Know they Are Close By
These past few weeks, I have been rather focused on strengthening my connection with my own loved ones in spirit, both human and pets. The telepathic dialogue I felt that I was receiving was comforting, but as we can all tend to do, I would get a bit doubtful and I asked spirit for some physical signs too. At home I frequently see through my peripheral vision – usually on my left side and particularly in the lounge, kitchen, or in my office, and, by the size of these fleeting shapes, I have a pretty good idea which pet is around. Often is the case too, that when I sit…

African Water Spirits
Water is seen as a great source of spirituality and life source in many traditional African societies. Water Spirits and other Spirits connected to nature, as well as certain animals are revered. These topics were often discussed when I underwent ‘Ukuthwasa’, which is part of the initiation when becoming a Sangoma/ Traditional healer where I undertook my training on the borders of Mozambique and South Africa. I enjoyed being part of many such discussion attended by village Elders during my training, and was fascinated by tales of the Spirits who controlled the rain, inhabited water masses and the sky. During times of intense drought, rituals and offerings are made to…

Our Soul’s Calling
A friend just called me to say she got some work in and, as grateful as she is that it’s finally arrived, she said, “Oh, I wish I had known what my true calling was, or at least listened harder to my intuition years ago when my parents veered me into the academic world of teaching, which was to become my life´s work. Don´t get me wrong, I often loved teaching the teenagers and was good at what I did, and am now good at the work I do related to a different aspect of university work, but oh how I wish I could feel it was my soul´s calling…

Spirit Knows Best Who Need Their Message of Comfort
It has always amazed me, just how the person who needs it the very most will receive a message at a Mediumship demonstration, whether the session is with an audience remotely via satellite, or in person. Thinking back, not too long ago, I was fortunate enough to attend some wonderful mediumship demonstrations by Gordon Smith and John Edward, amongst others, whilst they were touring in Johannesburg, South Africa. As much as myself and my friends would have loved to have received a message at those events, the people who did receive one were very deserving and comforted and so, I guess spirit really knows best who a medium will be…

We Can Discover Our True Calling at Any Age
There has been an increase in calls from worried parents this past year, often because one or more of their children are at a determining phase in their young lives and feel at a loss as to what career path to follow. Circumstances don´t really allow for young people of college-age to take a gap year to travel the world whilst they ‘find themselves` as was often the case in the past. The pandemic for one thing and security doesn’t really allow for one to hitchhike through foreign countries. And so, there seems to be more pressure on young people to know exactly what vocation to choose and study for…
