My friend Luke painted all these images, including Warmaruni, bottom left, who is one of my husband’s guides. When I asked Luke how he knew what White Cloud, top left, looked like he just said “I can see him, he’s standing behind you”, then painted what I saw in my mind’s eye. Warmaruni was just an image of an African as far as Luke was concerned, but Tony recognised him immediately as his guide. Amos is bottom right, but we need to start with Eduoard top right.
These images in themselves are a miracle because I recognise all my guides. I didn’t know that could happen.
Eduoard and televisions
I know the spelling of Eduoard is not correct in French, but it’s the spelling he gave me.
The first instance with the television was not long after my father died. I was watching a program about mediumship and suddenly two names jumped into my head with a message to call a tutor of mind called Rose and give her those names. I did, she understood both names and suggested that I come up and see her. Which I did.
I had trained as a healer with Rose but felt that the work was not for me. She gave me some healing then said, let’s try some exercises on you because I think I know where your skills lie. She showed me an image and asked me about the person in the picture, I didn’t know what to do, she said just talk. So I said the first things that came into my head. I was so accurate I even gave her the person’s name.
Afterwards she told me that my skills lay in the area of psychic mediumship. So that helped me to get started.
Completely lost – TV 2
So I’m a psychic medium? What on earth did that mean? How did you use it?
Shortly after I saw Rose it was Christmas. One evening I turned the television on, went into the kitchen to put the kettle on, and as I walked back into the room there were two men on the screen. “You’re important to me” jumped straight into my head, but I had no idea who those men were. The adverts started, so I put the sound on and waited.
The programme was The Best of British Mediumship and the two men were Tony Stockwell and Colin Fry, they were the two best known mediums in the UK at that time. They were also fantastic.
I, however, sat on the sofa and giggled. I was a middle aged, middle sized woman, living in the middle of Wiltshire. How on earth could two men on TV, which was like the moon but only special people were allowed in, possibly be important to me? Turns out they both were.
The New Job
In the January I started a new job, taking part of a colleagues role off her to lighten the load. In the February she sent me an email asking me to contact a lady interested in working with my new volunteer group. I read down the email, it was signed “Counsellor and Practising Medium”. I nearly fell over.
I went to see the lady and it was immediately clear that she didn’t have the time to help out, so I asked her about the mediumship and how she learned what to do. She said breezily “Oh I trained with Tony Stockwell and Colin Fry!”
After I’d regained my wits I told her about the television incident, and she said that Colin Fry was coming to Bristol the following week, why didn’t I come and see him with her, Tony was fascinated so he came too.
It was mind-blowing, I couldn’t have imagined the accuracy. There is no doubt in my mind that he saved a lady’s life that night. The information he gave her was so stunningly accurate, down to the date of the day before the wedding engraved in her late husband’s wedding ring, that she said she was going home feeling able to carry on with her life now, knowing that some of the things Colin said were known only to her.
I wanted to do that. I wanted to try to take a person one tiny step from despair to feeling that they could move forward. I met Colin afterwards, there was no connection (at that time). I was so disappointed. However, I was shortly to be inspired by him, and years later I met him and wrote about him. He was the only person I wrote about who ever called me personally to say thank you.
Uri Geller sent me a lovely letter though with a beautiful little quartz crystal that he’d charged for me (powered up). I attached it to my Native American fan with copper wire, but the kittens found the fan, so that went in the bin and the crystal is out in my garden. Little monkeys.
So I got on with my life, then in the September I suddenly found myself thinking about the blonde guy, contacted the lady who was now my friend, again, and she said “I think you’re referring to the great Tony Stockwell!”
I found his website, he had a day course in London the following month. I immediately thought I couldn’t afford that, followed by ‘is that all‘ as I clicked through to book. That’s how I started training with Tony. Also, how adept a spirit guide was at utilising modern technology to catch the attention. It wasn’t his last rodeo though.
Escape by television #3
The next time Eduoard used a television was to get me to a leave a spiritual training group that he’d been strongly suggesting wasn’t right for me. Guides can’t alter free will, they can only suggest. Amos calls free will The God Clause and says that no one gets to override that. Makes sense.
Our television at home started playing up. I was telling the group that night that it was switching itself on and off randomly. Very annoying.
The following Saturday we went up to a local television supplier to see if they did repairs. They did. We told them the problem and they said they’d need it in for testing for a week. I was going to be without a TV!
However, the guy said that they had the exact same model in their workshop, they popped down on the Monday, took our TV away and loaned us their spare one. Which was great.
The morning of the next group meeting I woke up with a very clear message in my mind. I had to call my friend Sylvia and tell her that the meeting that night wasn’t going to be pleasant, three of us, her, a lovely guy, and me, were going to get a real telling off. We had been warned.
Gosh Eduoard was good. I actually admired and respected my tutor very much, but she’d never been comfortable with me having trained with Tony Stockwell. Her daughter was in the group, and I often came in for a gentle prod that Tony wasn’t the be all and end all of mediumship. I knew that because he told us. To this day she’s still one of the best tutors I’ve met, and turned out two of the best mediums I’ve ever seen. The disrespect was truly one sided, and it wasn’t coming from mine.
However, we duly rocked up at the meeting, the daughter was trying trance for the first time, and she started going round the group giving messages. When she got to the guy in question he was pretty much dissected, then it was all lovely again until she got to me, when it was not lovely, and then Sylvia took a similar hammering, and it was all very nice again after that.
She told me that I thought I was better than I was. Spirit were trying to connect with me through my television, it was them switching it on and off, and I was too arrogant to listen. If you’re thinking of training for mediumship, this is the one and only time I ever came across anything like this.
You see I’d received a call that day from the repair company. The television had consistently switched on and off for the entire week they had it. The good news was they knew what it was, the bad news was that it would cost as much as a new television to repair. Enter our first flat screen TV!
In my mind’s eye Eduoard’s face was a picture! Their world does not do unkindness. The tutor asked me what I thought of that! It did not go down well when I replied that I was surprised that spirit were still turning the television on and off when it wasn’t in my house it was 2 miles up the road in a repair shop. I would have expected them to know. There was a silence.
Part of the message had been that I wasn’t listening to something that Spirit were trying to tell me. So she regrouped, slightly weakly, and asked about that. I put my hands up to that and said that was quite right. She asked what it was I wasn’t listening to.
The reply that Eduoard had told me to leave the group but I’d stayed as I liked her and the people, went down even worse.
End of miracles #1
I think that’s enough for one blog. It’s a long story but even now, going back over it, I still find myself filled with wonder. There is more, quite a lot more, but only one of the stories will be longer than this one, and that’s a really unexpected but very real happening if ever there was one.
More later. I hope you enjoy this theme. From my own experience to working with my groups, some of whom have been on the path as long as I have, spirit have pulled out some incredible stops when it comes to supporting us, because they have our permission to do so.
They also give extremely good advice and are superb at asking the right question!
However, I write knowing that the uninitiated might find it all a little fantastical. Just know that I would entirely agree with you. If you’d told me these things years ago I would have had exactly the same reaction. I can only tell you that these things have happened to me. But it’s for you to decide how you feel about it.
One thing about me though is that having had three absolutely incredible guides, whose kindness and wisdom is off the charts, I spend my life trying to live up to them. So lying to you is not an option because they would know, and that’s even more scary than my mother knowing (the woman was never wrong). Amos’ disappointment would be something I could not bear. He deserves better.
So does my own soul.
Big love – we need so much more of that
