Reindeer have become synonymous with Christmas time. They are a very unique deer, native to parts of Europe, Scotland, Asia, and North America. The males and females grow antlers, unlike any other deer. The males lose them in autumn during the mating season, but the females keep them to protect their young. Their antlers are huge and so account for their particularly majestic look. Their eyes are not bad either, allowing them to see ultraviolet light and spot predators more easily. Their special noses can allow them to warm that cold air.

Folklore has them travelling, pulling Santa’s sleigh throughout the skies of the world, but they can actually travel very long distances. In North America, they are known by a different name. Caribou. Whatever the name, we enjoy them as a beautiful feature on our cards and calendars during the Christmas and winter season.

What a night Sunday!! It was our Carols and Panto gathering, and probably the wackiest service of the year. We sang our favourite carols, heard some lovely, humorous readings, and then it was time for the much-anticipated pantomime. This year, it was Alice in Wonderland. Steve Lidgett Williams played an Alice Cooper kind of Alice, while Rob Harvey was The Evil Queen donning Freddy Mercury regalia. As if that wasn’t enough, we had Sarah Dorgan as The White Rabbit and the Mad Mad Hatter, Alison Keogh as the Mad March Hare, Graham Searle as a Dozy Dormouse, as well as a playing card. Chris Elliot was our Cheshire Cat, and also a playing card, and Virginia Gordon was a caterpillar and a playing card, also. Chris Shore narrated the buffoonery. We also had Santa and the Elves coming by. Thanks to Julie, Nerina, and Sue.

We thank our readers and prayer people, Ailette lit our Shepherd’s candle for JOY, and Lisa ran our music. Carol and Sue brought us some delightful Christmas baked goods with mulled wine to wash them down with. It was a very festive night enjoyed by all. Thank you Everyone for all the work and effort!!

PRAYER OF THE WEEK

I see the acorns are falling fast and furiously on the woodland floor, especially with the wind and the downpours that have kicked up recently. You know this little mite will not be wasting the opportunity. He is the ultimate hoarder. Grey squirrels are already preparing for the winter months. We could all take note. Acorns, flowers, pine cones, and sometimes even bird eggs are all on the hoarding list as he gathers and finds a secret space for his stash.

The playful young squirrels born in spring and summer, playing up and down the tree trunks with one another, will also face their first cold snap and will have to ‘catch on’ and get organized. Did you know he can also create pretend storehouses and act out burying nuts, so that thieves are kept confused and his winter larder remains full. His symbolism is obviously that of preparedness and resourcefulness. A character loathed and loved, but quite obviously here to stay.

We had such a lovely evening in Chawton last night. Dave Collins visited us and brought along Lorraine Whitfield. We were blessed to have a ‘twofer’ while they worked as a team. Dave gave an inspired address, giving us plenty to think about, and then they both brought the messages and laughter for us. What a lovely evening. Thank you so much!! Our effervescent gal, Sarah Dorgan, chaired the proceedings, so you know it was full of fun and laughter!! Thank you, Sarah!

We thank our Family for the beautiful prayers and readings, and thank Julie for the music. Thank you to Carole for the cake, Nerina, and Chris Shore for the hospitality. Thanks always to our healers and all those setting up, breaking down, and washing up!!

Prayer of the week.

Please pray for more Love in this world. Just throw out the love in whatever way you can, daily. The world so sorely needs it.

Calendar up next.

Have a beautiful week, everyone. Get your woolies out. Summer is over.

We have just passed the midsummer mark, or the summer solstice. Due to the mystery of the sun appearing to stand still since Neolithic times (10,000 years before Christ), the imaginations of cultures throughout the centuries stirred, creating many traditions. St John’s Day, celebrated by many Christians on the 24th of June, is also thought to deliberately coincide with the midsummer mark.

We have enjoyed absolutely glorious weather in this neck of the woods, and so with flowers in full bloom and the beauty of the natural world, it has indeed been fitting for this time. The days, alas, will shorten now by two minutes every evening, but the symbolism of this midsummer time prompts us to think of joy and abundance during the fullness of this season in this hemisphere.

Joy and Laughter were abundant last night in Chawton. Lesley Knight was in the house, and how we love having her visit us. Lesley gave us laughter, shared beautiful thoughts that we all needed to hear, and then brought some lovely messages for us. Thank you so much, Lesley!! Alison Keogh chaired our evening

It was also Mr Shackleton’s birthday, and so we enjoyed cake and a bit of singing to ring in another year for him. Happy Birthday Les!! It is your birthday week!!

Thank you to The Family who brought lovely readings and prayers. Thank you, Julie, for running our music. Thank you, Carole, for the cake. Thank you hospitality, and a special thanks to our healers. And of course, light work is made of set up and break down because all of those who do it diligently every week.

Prayer of the week

Calendar up soon.

Have a beautiful week. Summer is here. Let’s hope she stays for the Garden Party Saturday!!

Some need help from a friend to move on.

I have spoken many times about ghosts in houses and how I help move them on and I’m sure I will be doing it a lot more but occasionally it seems that those who pass need help to move on. what I mean by this is when you die you leave your body but you don’t necessarily automatically move on to the next world you will be going to. I’ve come across several cases recently where the spirit after they have died is hanging around almost waiting for permission or advice from someone to move on.

The recent cases I’ve done there are actually asking or wanting to ask someone they love or a friend if they should take that next step. there are millions of souls who are between the Worlds for one to the better way of putting it who are simply Souls who have left the body but not moved on to the next world. there can be many reasons for this they can simply be confused Souls or they don’t want to leave their loved ones.

Last week a young lady who I know very well called me because she was concerned that she felt a spirit in her house. the way I started to help her is the same when I move a spirit or ghost from a house the first thing I need is pictures of every room and the house to see if I can sense something. let me explain that sensing is something after a lifetime of working as a medium that does speed up so things can happen quite quickly and nowadays sensing something there seems to be a link quite quickly.

Once I had seen the pictures it becoming quite clear that there was a young Soul in this house someone who wanted to move on but he was hesitating about it. I could sense straight away and I have come across this before he wanted to ask someone what they thought he should do and once again with this soul it was someone he knew. quite quickly this soul was sensing me and this is what happens all the time because those who have left the body are not normally sensed by anybody with who has a physical body. so to begin with that’s what takes place and they are almost shocked that someone is sensing them but in this case I am a hundred percent sure this was organized,

With most cases that I come across it is very clear that those on the other side in spirit have already organised the connections that take place which is what happened with this one. I could sense a young man there who was slightly in distress but he kind of wanted reassurance and when I spoke on the phone to this young lady and to her boyfriend they put themselves on speaker. I could sense this young man knew her boyfriend in the house and I knew that he had died very quickly and then it became clear with the communication of talking to them and what I was sensing that this young man had died very suddenly. Her boyfriend new who it was with the evidence I gave him.

I could sense with this young man he was asking his best friend who was this lady’s boyfriend on the phone whether he should take the next step which may seem a very odd situation but I come across this many times now where they just want someone to say yes it’s okay to move on. so I asked this girl’s boyfriend over the phone in his mind to say to this person who wanted reassurance, who was asking is this okay. I asked him to say his mind yes it is fine move on. The moment he did that I could sense this young man who unfortunately had committed suicide move on straight away because a friend of his still here in the physical body had said yes it’s okay to move on so he moved on I saw him disappear and moved to the next world.

As you can imagine this was a bit of a shock to the couple that I was talking to on the phone but when I contacted them later that day the feelings that they had in that house had all disappeared. You can imagine this was very strange for them but it’s also quite logical that someone who’s caught Between the Two Worlds if only they can get a message or make contact with one of their best friends when they were in the physical body that is what makes all the difference. I am simply the last link in the chain, this girl sensing him and her boyfriend they were there sensing something but no idea what to do about it but I have a sure it was all arranged beforehand that they called me because I can sense these things and he moves on.

There is so much that we do not understand  but regularly with myself this is what is taking place and all that matters is the people who had a feeling a spirit in their house are relieved because that spirit has moved on and even more relieved knowing that a friend of theirs or a loved one of theirs has come to them and they have said move on to me this is the most beautiful situation and it seems to be happening with myself more and more and it is my privilege to help.
