TIME TO LET GO

From who and what has been happening from my blog, those who prey on others, I believe it's time to shut this blog down. I see from my stats many read it internationally, and books do sell, but now it's attracting scammers by the hoards. I hope this good intention readers that enjoy what I share about ghosts, spirits, psychic topics, pagan and witchcraft sharing will not be disappointment.  And to those mean spirited people, luckily I do believe what goes around, comes around - karma - and your lives are so hard and miserable you have lost your heart and soul.

In my mirror I see so many of thee from Eastern Europe and let's include Brazil, coming to my page and then I realize the why in that.
Those comprising my space must know - if you can read English - that I am a witch, I do cast spells and quite frankly, rather focused on having good results.



For those who are foes and behave with malice - yeah, I know you're in dire straights, still...

Stealing is mean, stealing is wrong and stealing does cost you...more than me and by the way, it didn't work as you hoped for...

So my thieving readers The Banshee descends upon thee:

 Casting a protection spell: those who enter with false pretensions, balls will fall, dicks hang - what a joke! she will laugh;  bellies will ache and hands will twitter with electrifying pain. Enjoy the appealingly silliness of it all. Time will prove that energy travels rather speedily across the ocean waters.

SEE GHOSTS? NO? OH.

 

CHAPTER TWO - QUESTIONS FROM THE LIVING ABOUT THE DEAD 

Excerpt from my book, How to Talk With Spirits: Seances - Mediums - Ghost Hunts

• Why do some people see, hear, and feel spirits or ghosts while others do not? Anyone can be aware of, and connect with, spirits or ghosts. Usually, it is the more sensitive and psychically advanced people who can easily see, hear, and feel the unseen influences. This can make life uneasy for them because society, family, or religions don’t usually support psychically sensitive people. Although, there are those who do not believe in this phenomenon, or are not particularity sensitive, once having experienced spirit contact they accept something outside their beliefs exists. People who are very practical and analytical are least likely to experience spirits or ghosts. To them it is not logical and reasonable. Is it their brain isn’t wired as a creative person’s brain? Is it like two different professions and talents found in artists and scientists? I think there is something to that. I also think healthy skepticism is the way to approach investigating psychic/spirit/ghost phenomenon. I’m not one to just jump on the bandwagon when I’m told there is a ghostly annoyance or spirit floating around. I like to check and see it for myself. 

Many more questions were asked me over my forty years of spirit communication and most can be found in my spirit talk book. available ebook on Amazon.com and Smashworlds.com (free to join/ has many e-devices + PDF for computer & print):

NDE RADIO SHOW: LAST SHOW OF THE SEASON

courtesy of http://draculcollectibles.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=31

I look much better on radio. Don't you think? 

Taking a sabbatical after tapping my last show of the season. It's about my NDE and what a reader can expect inside my latest book, How to Talk With Spirits. To listen: http://readingsbyyerevan.com/radio-sh…/june-ahern-interview/

For quite a few years the ideal radio show spot was in the works. I knew what I wanted, put it out there and things rolled. What occurred then was invitations from all unexpected radio hosts to be a guest on radio shows. That was my warm-up. Eventually the right person and right situation came to be with Yerevan (readings by Yerevan.com) I achieved and happily fulfilled that goal over a year ago. We had plenty of interesting shows once a month and now we both embrace time for a sabbicabal.

When a goal is reached new doors open, new opportunities and possibilities are presented - no stopping at the top!

My time doing a radio show reminded me what I have learned as a life coach; achieving a valuable goal leads creates new visions leading to new adventures and goals as has mine: I'm being asked to speak at groups interested in NDE and psychic visions. 

The shows can be heard (and many other interesting guests on the other Tuesdays) at readingsbyyerevan dot com.

 It's a continual adventure. I achieved my goal of having a monthly radio show. From that other interests grew. What about you?

Have you reached a place where it's time for new adventures? At my sf coaching dot com questions from goal setters are answered.

NDE - Near Death Experiences

Since the publication of my book, How to Talk With Spirits I have been contacted by groups who investigate and are interested in my NDE. I hadn't realized how many are truly to interested in learning what is on the other side of life. 

Have you or someone you've known had a NDE and if so, did life change afterward as mine did for me? I had no idea that my life path would, in time, direct me to a most unique and interesting profession.

Excerpt from my ebook on Amazon.com and Smashwords.com (many ebook devices and PDF)

How it Began

In 1970, after a serious automobile accident and while in the ambulance, I expired for a moment and was subsequently revived. This was my first experience with spirit connection. For many years after this incident, I couldn’t talk about my profound experience of being on the other side. How could I explain I saw the light? How could I describe the ecstatic sense of pure joy and serenity unknown to me previously in this life?

Outside the crashed vehicle, a white light appeared to emanate from a woman standing close by. She stared at me intently through the windshield as I sat bleeding profusely from head and face injuries. Dazed, I looked back at her. Her presence was comforting and her face kind. Surrounded by a glow of light, she appeared to be clothed in all white. I felt loving warmth from the woman and thought I heard her say, “Don’t worry, it’ll be alright.” But that was impossible given the distance between us. Then the light enveloped me. Only I wasn’t led through a tunnel as others who have died and returned say they experienced. The next thing I recall was a policeman sitting in the driver’s seat next to me telling me to hang on. I knew he was talking to me but I couldn’t focus on him. All I could think about as blood poured onto my new coat bought for a first time date was how my clothes were ruined. It’s strange what bothers us in serious situations. I don’t recall being carried from the wreck to the ambulance or even the ride to the hospital.

With time, I remembered my journey to the other side. Once you have come back from the brink of death, you’re never quite the same. What happened during that time, how you felt, what you saw always remains vivid in your mind. I saw deceased relatives, some gone for many years. Some I only recognized because of old photographs in family albums. In a beautiful garden, they were laughing softly, their faces full of peace and love. A warm bright light surrounded the whole scene. An ornate white iron fence encircled the garden. I stood outside the fence, gazing at my happy grandparents, uncles and aunts. They watched me with big smiles. I felt peace and heartfelt love. Then they began to wave me away, cheerily saying, “Not now, June. Go back.”  

 

 My surgeon told me I was a lucky young woman because I expired in the ambulance for about twenty seconds. Twenty seconds that changed my life forever.

It was frightening and confusing for a nineteen year-old woman to see, hear and know facts about living and dead people. I fretted and wondered about these strange happenings. NDE, at this time, was rarely, if ever, discussed. People dismissed individuals such as myself with NDE experiences as delusional, fakes or odd. It was also a huge time of change both socially and politically. This may be why, in time, I accepted the fact my outlook on life was different. I could hear, see, feel, and even smell non-physical people as though if they were in front of me. And with acceptance came the desire to learn more about it.

Had I really been on the other side? Was it a miracle I came back? An opportunity for a second chance in life to do something meaningful I had not considered before?  Seeking information and education, I talked to numerous people who might have had, or knew someone with a NDE and perhaps like me saw and heard things which physically didn’t exist.

Fortunately since then, books such as Dr. Raymond Moody Jr.’s 1975 bestseller, Life After Life, and more recently Anita Moorjani’s 2012 To Heaven and Back validate and afford a kinder response to those who have experienced NDE. Reading Dr. Moody’s many case studies calmed my anxiety. I learned there were many individuals worldwide, and throughout history with similar experiences to mine.  

A survey in US News & World Report of March 1997 reported 15 million people have experienced NDE.

Seances • Mediums • Ghost Hunts

Excerpt

Chapter 11

GHOST HUNTS

There is something haunting in the light of the moon.
– Joseph Conrad –

THROUGHOUT HISTORY, ghost encounters and haunted houses have thrilled many people. Wide-eyed children and breath-holding adults sit around darkened rooms listening to spooky stories, hanging on every ghoulish detail and shrieking at the Big Moment of Fright. People line up at amusement parks to ride into dark tunnels where the “unknown” awaits to thrill them. Movies with girls screaming, and boys hiding their screams behind nervous giggles have been popular since the first three minute horror movie, “Le Manoir du Diable”, by George Melies, in 1896.

To this day, when I shower in a motel, I peek out to make sure no knife wielding man is coming to stab me as in Alfred Hitchcock's “Psycho.” Yet, fear doesn't keep me from visiting graveyards or old haunted buildings and I've been to plenty. If you're like me, you visit these places too whether on your own, with friends, or a tour.

One of the most frequently reported ghost sightings is Anne Boleyn, wife of England’s King Henry VIII and mother of Queen Elizabeth I. She was executed at the Tower of London in May 1536 after accusations of witchcraft, treason, incest and adultery. Reportedly, her ghost is seen in the Tower and drifting through her childhood home, Hever Castle, in Kent, England.

In the first century A.D., the great Roman author and statesman Pliny the Younger recorded one of the first notable ghost stories in his letters. He reported the specter [ghost] of an old man with a long beard, rattling chains, haunted his house in Athens. The Greek writer Lucian also wrote memorable ghost stories.

In Germany, 856 A.D., the first poltergeist, a ghost who causes physical disturbances such as loud noises or objects falling or being thrown around, was reported at a farmhouse. The poltergeist tormented the family living there by throwing stones and starting fires, among other things.

Beginning in the late 19th century, Benjamin Franklin’s ghost has been seen near the library of the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Staying true to his reputation of being an eccentric, he has been spotted dancing in front of his statue.

President Abraham Lincoln, assassinated in April 1965, has been frequently observed wandering near the old Springfield capitol building, as well as his nearby law offices. The White House seems to be an active spirit place with First Ladies, queens, and prime ministers reportedly seeing the ghost or feeling the presence of President Lincoln.

In 2013, I was asked to participate in a paranormal investigation of historical sites in San Francisco. It’s been much fun using my psychic talents while investigating the history of some of the city’s interesting haunts such as the once infamous Barbary Coast and the Condor Club. At one point, as I walked through the streets it was as though I went back in time to see men and women of that era. Never have I felt so strongly my movement through parallel dimensions of time and space. Some kind of change was felt within my physical body. I was challenged to remember I was in the present time. The exciting part, besides seeing with my psychic eye events unfold, is the historical research confirming much of my psychic visions and impressions.

My suggestions below for a ghost hunt are for the amateur ghost hunter. Investigators documenting for the advancement of paranormal studies approach ghost encounters differently If you would like to learn more about technical recording equipment this website is a good source, http:www.wikihow.com/Conduct-a-Ghost-Hunt.

• Where you can ghost hunt: Begin where there have been ghost sightings. A good start for the novice ghost investigator is to tour the area you live in or are visiting to find ghost tours. Many cities and towns in most countries have them. They'll take you to the places known for hauntings. You won't have to find locations, get permission to be on the area, or worry about safety. Go to the local tourist office to find a tour. Besides visiting a ghostly place, you’ll learn a lot about local history.

If you don’t take a tour, visit the library to find haunted buildings and locations in the area. Newspapers, town historians, and books can be helpful finding folklore or facts about sites.

Although spirits, ghosts and other entities can show up anywhere at anytime, below are some good places to visit during the night.

Graveyards/Cemeteries are filled with spirits and ghosts. I’ve read some paranormal investigative groups believe there are evil spirits in cemeteries. This could be, but I think because of the many prayers said at cemeteries there are most positive spirits than negative ones. I have yet to come across negative low-grade entities and I've been to many cemeteries, some famous for ghost sightings. If you have fearful, negative thoughts, don't go on a ghost hunt. Remember to empty your bladder before because it may be awhile before you glimpse a spirit. Or, if you do, you may wet your pants.

Schools and former sites of schools: There are highly charged emotional energies, which come along with being young.

Historic buildings house the spirits of many who passed through on business. They are open to the public and may have tours.

Chapter 7 (Excerpt)

SÉANCE

And many of them that sleep in the dust
of the earth shall awake, some of everlasting
life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
– Daniel 12:2: King James Bible
“Authorized Version”, Cambridge Edition –

THE MOST SOUGHT after and common way for communicating with the dead is through a medium (more about mediums Chapter 9) at a séance, which can be a private one-on-one or group session.

Séance is French for “seat, session,” derived from Old French seoir, “to sit.” The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition says, “The older original French meaning referred to “sit” or “take a seat in a meeting.” Perhaps as in a community or political meeting where attendees bored with speakers fell asleep or appeared to be in a trance. It was first recorded in English in 1845. In French, as in English, the word came to be used specifically for a meeting of people to receive spiritualistic messages. Now it means taking a seat where more than one person gathers for the sole purpose of contacting the spirit(s) of the deceased. If a medium is present, she communicates with the spirit and then relays messages from the dead to the living.

Séances can be quite mundane and not as mysterious as most think. For many years, I have been involved with and conducted séances as both a participant and a shared or sole medium. There are usually no peculiar goings on like knocking, banging on walls, howling dogs, levitating tables and chairs or floating ghosts. There can be a sudden drop in temperature or a cool breeze might move through the room. Sometimes the presence of another person in the room, not included of the original group, can be sensed. On a rare occasion, a white light or a translucent, wispy form may appear and, in an even rarer occurrence, an actual physical image of a dead person may manifest.

You may feel something brush pass you or feel as though someone or something is touching you. The hair on the back of your neck or arms may rise up for no apparent reason. You could hear a voice or sound. You may just “know” mentally you are speaking with a spirit. There are many ways to communicate with spirit energy. There are also as many different spirit energies as there are many different kinds of people. What I find interesting and enjoy most in séances is how uplifted the participants are when positive messages come from departed loved ones.

The séances I’ve been involved in range from the more formal seated at a table, holding hands in a semi-darkened room to a lighter, casual sitting around an office or small auditorium with no hand holding. They all included a form of a short introduction of what to expect, quiet time for a meditation, a prayer, and at times, singing. In the séances where I was the medium and after we started, I would announce what spirit had made her/his presence known and with whom the spirit wished to communicate. Sometimes I was incorrect about the participant, but within a moment it was straightened out. Often a name would come through, certainly a physical description even if the spirit came across years younger than the age of death. Sometimes, none of the participants recognized a spirit. Although it didn’t happen often, I’d thank the spirit and return to the séance. Alas, not all spirits come through just because you ask for a message. When I tell people this they are surprised and wonder why. I tell them as in life just because you call or email a person doesn’t mean they will respond. Perhaps the spirit is in a state of peaceful rest and what you are doing is no longer a concern.

At times, spirits the participants hadn’t consciously thought about contacting will appear and make their presence known. This spirit could be a relative such as a long lost cousin or uncle even the participant hadn’t met. It could be a grandparent the participant knew only briefly. I’ve heard from the spirit of neighbors, childhood friends, and a grammar school teacher. At one séance, an Army man appeared to talk to an older gentleman. The gentleman was befuddled. He didn’t recognize this man at all. Luckily, I heard the man’s name clearly and with the information the gentleman lowered his eyes and became still. The Army man was his friend; more like a brother, said the gentleman, in grade school. The Army man moved to another state and they lost touch. The gentleman hadn’t known this friend joined the Army, let alone died in Vietnam, which was the information the Army man gave me. Funny thing, said the gentleman, he’d thought of him off and on and wondered how he was doing.

People wonder why spirits come through if there wasn’t a connection to the person for a long time or at all. The answer is simple. (to be cont'd - purchase the book before 3/15/15 for 99¢, after $1.99)
