Tonight I’ve been to a Psychic Supper at a local Spiritualist church. It’s another way of getting messages to people who want to connect with their loved ones.

A lot of people are unaware of this kind of gathering. It’s not a religious service. Or a stage performance. So it has a very different vibe than might be expected. There are usually five or six mediums present. Each one of us sits on a table with six or so people. It’s then my job to make connections and bring in messages from their loved ones in Spirit. It’s informal, relaxed and full of laughter. After the guests have listened to their messages we all share supper together. I love the sense of community that this kind of event has.

One of the things I like most is that after the messages people can ask me questions. Part of my wish for my mediumship is to be able to explain what happens and how we can all connect with loved ones in the afterlife. I can’t always do that in a church service or a stage event. Being able to sit with people gives me a chance be available for the kind of questions I had when I was learning about the Spirit World. I feel we all want to know more but don’t know who to ask. The perceptions of mediums, churches, shows and even one to one readings can sometimes be very different to what actually happens. I know that having a chance to chat means I can tell it like it really is.

That’s why I like doing Psychic Suppers. Though perhaps the name sometimes confuses people too.

I find there is a lot of confusion about what ‘psychic’ and ‘medium’ mean. Psychic is when I connect to a person’s aura to give them a reading. I might use psychic tools like Tarot cards, a pendulum or runes. However I am only connecting with the person’s energy. When I am working as a medium I am connecting with Energy Beings, most often the person’s loved ones, and I do this without the need for psychic tools. You will certainly get some people working psychically at a Psychic Supper. But I and most mediums will be working through mediumship. And your deceased family & friends will be bringing you messages.

That can be a bit of a challenge though. Sometimes I get people at my table who want specific people. Or don’t want some of the people they know to come forward. Or need to hear from only one person. I will try my best. Any medium will. Matching the Spirit to the person here is at the heart of what we do. Occasionally I can’t do it though. That can be for a number of reasons. Especially as I might not be the medium the relevant Spirit can connect with. So sometimes you have to accept the person you are given and try to listen to the message with an open mind. I encourage people who are going to a Psychic Supper to go without expectations. If you do you get so much more given.

I enjoyed my supper at Burnley Spiritualist church. It was an opportunity to meet new Spirit people as well as their family down here. It also reminded me how important it is to be accessible.

Being sensitive to energy I often avoid larger gatherings. There can be an excess of energy, both Spirit and human, to balance off so I can enjoy my evening. Yet in the surroundings of a spiritual setting helping people to find understanding is a privilege. The ladies on my table tonight were a pleasure to work for. After the messages we shared in a lovely discussion, great food and chocolate. I know that what we talked about was Spirit inspired. It doesn’t really matter that it was me who said it. What is important is that information was shared from their side to ours. What a lovely job I have ?
