Hi, Celticnoodle,
Thank you so much for your answer, you are very kind.
I would prefer things like meditations, spells, maybe try to contact spirits once grounded and protected, rather than the herbal side. It would be nice to have time to do all, but my time is limited, and most of my free time is used to learn tarot. The herbal side of a witch did not call me yet, so in the meanwhile, I will walk trough another path, but thank you anyway, you were very kind and your answer were very helpful
Well, since you grew up Catholic and probably know a lot of the Catholic prayers, you can do like I do--meditate on the rosary or other prayers. I'm not a practicing Catholic anymore--but always loved the rosary prayer and I meditate on that. I grew up in a psychic-medium household and my maternal family were all psychic mediums. So, I grew up seeing spirits all the time--just not realizing what it meant to me till much later in life. As a child, I also thought it was normal to see spirits. When I was old enough to realize it was not--then I figured I only saw the spirits that were seeking out my psychic-medium mother.
took me awhile to realize that I also had the ability and began to develop it. But, really, you do not need to meditate on prayers at all. Just meditation alone is good--or meditating on any prayer.
Another great way to practice this skill is to hold a picture of one of your beloved departed family or friends and talk to them -even silently. Ask them to come to you. But, also just talk to them all the time where ever you are! When I travel alone a long distance, I often get into my car and say, "Okay dad, plant yourself in the seat next to me, and watch over and protect me while on my travels, please! and make room for Aunt M too!" And, though I didn't always feel their presence, I know they are with me.
Also, share with them what is going on in your life--good and bad. Talk to them. Ask for their guidance and their advice. Before you know it, they'll come to you in your dreams or in your meditation or perhaps just appear to you--but they will never frighten you.
As you get better with this ability, you may want to sit somewhere and try to read for a friend. try this in your home and close to your kitchen or bathroom. Turn your water spicket in the sink or tub or shower on, and invite the spirits to come in. Spirits need energy to travel to you--and water, just like electricity or batteries in any device will help bring them to you. (Which is why my cell phone often acts up and my land phone would always go dead when I use to host psychic medium circles).
It may take you some time to get any spirit to visit you--but don't despair. Just be patient. They will come to you--when they feel you are ready. And, btw, when their birthday, anniversary of their wedding or death come up, remember them and tell them you are thinking of them -- they will know this and appreciate it and it just may make them come to you faster and easier!
Thanks, I took those books and I will have a look right now to this url.

I grew up on a catholic family, but I really never believed many parts of the story, so I left it and for many years I considered myself an agnostic person.
After my grandad passed away, I felt a big change on me, dont ask me why, because I dont know, maybe he is behind this change.
Btw, it seems that you know tons about mediumship. If you can recommend me any book about it, will be nice
Yeah, same here. Born and raised in a Catholic family, but the faith right from the get go always bothered me. I remember being in first or second grade and trying hard to argue the point with Sister (a nun) that if God was an all loving and forgiving God, then confession to the priest wasn't really necessary, as long as you apologized when you did someone wrong. I never quite understood why you had to confess sins.
As a result, I often got the ruler or the paddle across my knuckles or rear end.
Also, when they told my older sister that our baby sister would not go to heaven because she was not bapitzed in a church before she died, I told my sister the nuns were nuts and not to pay any attention to them. (Yes, I got another spanking again for that one too, but I still didn't change my mind about Sister being nuts!)
however, I played the game and went to Mass, because I was more afraid of the wrath of mom and dad then the wrath of Sister, Father or God.
as for books, any book talking about mediumship is a good way to start. including those that only speaks of the mediums experience of bringing through spirits. It will show you that they are not anything to be afraid of.
Our loved ones, btw, are ALWAYS around us. I truly believe this. I've walked with spirits both in heaven and also on earth--sometimes in other countries from where I was doing the reading. I've had spirits come to me and seek me out to deliver messages to their loved ones. I've helped spirits to cross over, including my own father. Its a beautiful experience, that words just cannot explain.
So read everything you can get ahold of, Ivanna, and you'll see that the majority of those books will tell you the same thing I just did here.
Some authors to look for:
John Edward (notice, it is "Edward", not "Edwards" with the 's')
George Anderson, James Van Praagh, Allison Dubois, and there are many more.
btw, many of our Catholic Saints had the gift. Try looking for books speaking of Padre Pio (also a great healer!), Saint Theresa the Little Flower--(I have a great story about her giving my aunt/cousin a gift!), and many, many more.
John Edward also has some dvds and tapes on how to develop your psychic abilities, but the best books I have come across are by Debra Lynn Katz and are called:
1. You Are Psychic
and
2. Extraordinary Psychic
I highly recommend these two books, which I find to be the best two on this subject.
If you have any questions about mediumship, feel free to PM me. I'll be happy to answer you to the best of my ability. I have helped many people to develop their psychic and psychic - medium abilities and will be happy to help you too if have questions. I no longer host medium workshops now, unfortunately. I so miss it! If you can ever find one to join in on--do so-no matter what your ability is--as this will also help you to develop.
Its a wonderful gift to have and share with others. I wish you much luck and hope that you will soon find this out for yourself. Enjoy the path, Ivanna!
