I had my first reading by a medium in a house in Bedford UK. My friend and I went, I was lead into a small room and greeted by a man. He told me that my life would change around my 50th birthday, I was told a lot about my family and an awful lot about my past! We were joined at the reading by my Mum, Grandmother and some Uncles and Aunties.

When he first started talking I was rather shy and reserved and, although by this time, I knew I could see and hear  people from Spirit, I was unsure what to expect. I am afraid I cannot recall the mediums name but all he told me has stayed in my mind.

He assured me I would travel many miles from home, told me that I would know times of deep hardship, that I would fall for a man who, here he stopped so I asked him to please continue, he finished with the words… he will hurt you deeply and you will fall a long way down, I said ok I won’t fall for anyone then he replied, Carol you will because you need to experience this and need to undergo the outcome. I decided that wasn’t for me! So of course shoved it to the back of my mind!

He also told me I would move away from the home I had, I said I have no plans to move, he smiled and said but you will have. I was told that my life would be long although beset by chest infections and as I aged other health issues. (Not what I wanted to hear but true).

Many things were said that had happened, he even told me that when I was a small child I had been knocked down by a milk float! Also that I could not ride a bicycle, silly things but all true.

So how did he do?

I have travelled to Australia and Africa, I did move home in my early 50′s, a man did hurt me badly and I did sink so far I didn’t think I would ever climb up again, but I have! I have known hardships which with the help of family and friends I have survived. I have had a lot of chest infections and now have diabetes. So yes he was right.

The first reading I gave was a few months after being given my cards. I read the cards literally instead of intuitively and was given lots of help by Spirit, it certainly wasn’t the best reading I have ever given and I am quite sure I got a lot wrong! But it was a learning curve. After that I started doing them regularly and gained more confidence in my self and in the cards. I find reading the cards both comforting and therapeutic for both the reader and the sitter.

I have been asked how I can read the cards for either a stranger or a friend. I always reply that when I do a reading, for whoever it may be, I can distance myself from the sitter and always go by what both the cards and Spirit tell me. I cannot remember all the readings I have given that is by choice, each reading is for that one person and it is up to them if they choose to remember it or not. I do often see people that have had a reading and they sometimes refer to a point or two that was raised by the cards, I can then remember and am pleased that they have dealt with it appropriately.
