Medium Rare?
 

Anyone got an interesting tales to tell about local spiritualist mediums or the local spiritual churches. Are their any mediums in the area that stand out above the main or worth travelling the distance to see?

Spiritualist Church - Churches
The location of the Gt Harwood one is listed in the Lancashire section - scroll down to it

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Do these places advertise, or do they just send out messages when they're meeting via Red Indian spirit guides?

Re: Medium Rare?
 

I'll pm you when I'm going to come over for one.....:)

Re: Medium Rare?
 

lol rephrase that please

Re: Medium Rare?
 

You think that's bad. You should have seen the dream I had last week when you draged me round some dodgy pubs in Blackburn. :o

Re: Medium Rare?
 

I went to see Ivy Love when I was about 20 years old. She was ok. Then I went to a spiritual church with tinks and her friend! Ivy Love was there again and this time didn't rate her at all. But that is just my opinion.

There is a lady in church Sue cook I think her name is, and apparently she is very good at what she does! I have never been to see her and aparently she isn't doing ' readings ' atm due to ill health ( so my friend says ) but I would love to have a reading off this lady, as sooo many people I know say she is very very good.

Once saw another lady when I was on holiday at Blackpool pontins ( think I have posted this somewhere before ):rolleyes: and she got quite a few things right!

Re: Medium Rare?
 

erm ok hahahahahahaha

Re: Medium Rare?
 

slinks whats the psychic woman called who lives next door to mum? PMSFL

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Psychic?? PSYCHIC?? :(

I've seen better Psychics om most haunted!! and that is saying something ;)

Re: Medium Rare?
 

was it you or tinks who asked me to go to her house for some 'cards'?

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Can't remember Flashy.


But believe me, any body that parts with their money to this " fake " is either seriously stupid, or down right bloody desperate.

And to say she is on benifits!! tut tut eh?? :rolleyes:

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Not heard of either of those lady's although Sue cook seems to ring a Bell, I'm not a lover of Blackpool Mediums, so many seem to take on a showy style, maybe it's working on the coast, I don't Know.

The local Mediums I’ve seen from you neck of the woods have been quite good, Eric Arnfield from Great Harwood is very good and so funny during the service, some people don’t know which way to take him, but he’s spot on with his evidence.

I saw Mary White last night a former Accrington Medium last night at Cleveleys, she seem ok although I didn’t get a message from her.

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Report her and see if she see's it coming......:D

Re: Medium Rare?
 

HAHAHAHAHAHA you have to see this woman to believe it daddy

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Someone once did do, but the social said " they had no way of getting evidence " :rolleyes: HMMMM let me see.

1) ring her and ask for appointment....

2) Go and sit through her drivel.......

3) pay your money, and if she accepts DONE!!

How hard can it be??

Unless they have been told how poo she is, so wouldn't want to sit through her drivel.

Re: Medium Rare?
 

lol, Always the way. How much does she charge?

Re: Medium Rare?
 

God nows Doug!! I have never and would never pay to sit with this women that reads out of a tarot card book. Sorry if she is a ' natural ' she would not just read out of a book.

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Oh, one of those......:D I use to read Tarot many years ago. Then I started to get visitors that use to come grab me in the night......:eek:

Re: Medium Rare?
 

what was she called?? :D:D:D

Re: Medium Rare?
 

I don't know, but I had a couple of dreams last week that had a big bird with funny legs dragging me around Blackburn :eek:, The first one was fun, ;) the other one I've had to block out of my memory...... :o :D

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Lmao!! sounds awful Doug :D

Re: Medium Rare?
 

It was :eek:, and the bruses that she left :o :D

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Without wishing to rattle Doug's cage on this one .. know it is a sensitive subject to him, but would like to ask a curious question here. Why do you wish in the first place to seek out a medium ? Is it because you would like to get in touch with your dear departed, to give you some solice that they are OK ?

The hope that there is summat else after death ?

That they can optimistically tell you something about your future/past so that you can look forward to a bright future? (or otherwise). Can't think of other reasons, except just good fun, like reading your stars in the morning paper.

Would really like to know.

Re: Medium Rare?
 

When my friend lost her son tragically some years ago she was finding it very hard to come to terms with her loss, she had bereavement councelling at the doctors but that didn't help her. A friend of hers took her to see a lady in the Church Kirk area and she said she was really good, she told her quite a lot of stuff that was personal to the two of them. This helped her immensely, so I suppose for some people that verification of their beliefs is important.

Re: Medium Rare?
 

No worries Kate, for me it a mixture of reasons. I’ve always been a bit that way inclined, “not the Mandy route” the other one.

Over the last couple of years I needed to have some question answered, some personal, and some directional. Some have been answered, some haven’t.

I’ve always wanted to know if there’s anything after this life and how much of us survives. I’ve had a lot of evidence but I’m still undecided on some matters.

Mediums aren’t allowed to predict the future under the false mediums act, but they can give a message that gives the sitter a choice of direction.

Not all mediums are good; a bad medium can damage spiritualism in the same way as any bad practitioner, but any reasonable medium can have a bad day and come across as poor, its give and take. But a medium can’t do anything if you aren’t open to them; medium ship is a partnership between all concerned, Sprit, the medium and the seeker.

From my perspective I use my local spiritualist Church as my church, it’s where I pray, send my thoughts out to others in need and to seek forgiveness for my misdeeds.

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Yes Bernadette! I think if you ask your friend I think this will be Sue Cook. She lives in that area!!

Apparently very very good.

Re: Medium Rare?
 

I've just received your message asking forgiveness for your rudeness to me in the above most.

Thank you.:D

Re: Medium Rare?
 

I don't think there could be anything worse in life than losing one of your children .. I would want to string myself up. That is good if she had some comfort here, in whatever form.

That answers the first reason, but what about the rest of us, that come to terms with death, what is it that you are seeking ?

OK Doug .. just seen yer post after I had posted.

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Yes I think your on the same one, she really helped my friend. :)

Re: Medium Rare?
 

I'm sceptical to say the least, as I am about organised religion too.

But if it helps and comforts people then it must be benefical.

Re: Medium Rare?
 

You must have a bad link girl, it began with "F" but it wasn't fogiveness :D

Re: Medium Rare?
 

I am but a chalice for your thoughts, besides Pokeuintheass, my native American spirit guide, is away on holiday.

Re: Medium Rare?
 

I have always been curious and after what my friend told me I wouldn't hesitate in going for a reading if I felt the need. :)

Re: Medium Rare?
 

OK :)

What are you looking for Kate,

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Not suprised, must be almost shagged out trying to redeam you, ya ****** :rolleyes:

Re: Medium Rare?
 

we all need something to believe in
in our hour of need
even a red indian spirit guide

Re: Medium Rare?
 

My friend was wracked withguilt because her son was on his own when he died, I think her reading really helped her in her grieving.

Re: Medium Rare?
 

I'm pleased for her, and anyone else that finds comfort in times of sorrow, in whatever way.

Mankind has been seeking comfort and answers since the begining of time.

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Re: Medium Rare?
 

What is you wish to know though Bernie ?

When my daughter married this plonker years ago, the husband and the mother-in-law (believe me absolutely mentally ill people) ran physic fairs, she took it over for a while as a business. Whilst she did love some of the mediums there, as they were genuinely lovely people, had an insight into their clever ways of convincing people that they knew something about their lives, suppose this is why I am more than a little sceptical. Don't waste your money on these.

I'm afraid that my mind is too logical, but if people get comfort from these people, then they are only doing good in the world.... so be it !!

Re: Medium Rare?
 

i have visited many and had good readings
more times than bad so as the monkees said
im a believer

Re: Medium Rare?
 

I have paid for a reading or two over the years, but the best messages I’ve received have been in church, all it’s ever cost me is £2 in the collection and the occasional raffle ticket. What I’ve had back, particularly this year as been priceless.

I don't know about anywhere else, but at Cleveleys the mediums get a fiver out of the collection to help with petrol. They don't charge for their time.

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Well, Doug ... seek nothing. My beliefs are that you are born, you die... there is nowt after that, so enjoy the bit in between .. day to day sortof.

I feel just lucky that I have always had food in my stomach, heating to warm me and good medical health care when I have broken bones 'cause of my clumsiness .. :D I have been able to provide for my children in better ways monetary that most people and they have done me proud. I was provided an excellent childhood by my parents and loved beyond reproach.

I have lovely friends and enjoy my days at work. No health worries as yet, but now I am in my Autumn years .. so if you could send me a lovely male companion to share a few hours with .. that would be ok ;)

No ...( joking apart) .. why should I be looking for anything out of life now ... I have been rich beyond my wildest dreams . !

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Yes I have always been told the best ones are the ones that do it for free!!

My mum once talked to a Gypsy!! no money involved, just a chat!! and that conversation turned out to be most true and very en lightening!!

Re: Medium Rare?
 

You get good and bad in every walk of life, I think the bad ones soon get sussed out. I am just saying that if I ever felt the need to visit one I would take advice off someone who has found solace like my friend. I have had the odd reading but it is that long ago I can't recall whether they were good or bad!

Re: Medium Rare?
 

I always said you where a beautiful woman... and I was right :)

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Now't wrong with that lass, I think I've been very fortunate with mine and I look forward to the time when I can give something back.

Re: Medium Rare?
 

When I was working on night duty...way back in 1976....the very hot summer....I was looking after an elderly lady. One night when all the other patients were asleep she called me over.......she told me so much about family members who had passed on......and gave me insights into the life which was before me. I was, at the time studying hard for my finals....which of course she knew from general conversation on the ward, but she told me that I should believe in my abilities....and I would do well in my exams and she told me that the spirit world was telling her I would be wearing a frilly cap....meaning that I would become a ward sister.....I dared not believe in that......but all that she said came to pass.

The lady knew I was sceptical...even though I had had experiences of life after the grave...she told me that I had 3 spirit friends - an old gypsy (who she said was related to me in some way,but beyond living memory) a little eskimo girl (which explained why I was always cold -even on hot days) and a chinese man with the book of knowledge(he would enable me to learn anything I put my mind to)....she told me that I should trust my 'experiences' far more than I did as these experiences were to help me, and they came from the spirit world.

I have to say that I was very spooked by what she had said......and more so as each one of the things she had told me about came true.
She told me that she was a member of the spirit church in Darwen, and that she would welcome me if I wanted to develop my 'skills'.
Try as I might I cannot remember the name of this gentle lady.

Re: Medium Rare?
 

You've just reminded me, we were in the pub one day and this gypsy woman read my hand, I think I got her a bottle of stout as payment although she didn't want anything. Ian was laughing at me for listening so she read his face, he was gob-smacked she was spot on about everything. It was quite uncanny!!:D

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Yes the Gypsy that my mum spoke to knew she was pregnant with Tinks DAYS before my mum did.

Re: Medium Rare?
 

It is weird isn't it ?:D

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Don't you think that Tinks is a bit otherworldly (sp) Maybe she's a bit special :)

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Yes very!!

I believe SOME have the gift of being able to sense things!! That is my opinion and every body has a right to wonder, think and believe in what they wish to!! after all that is what makes us all unique and interesting

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Tinks......otherwordly!! hmmmm suppose she is one on her own lol :D

Re: Medium Rare?
 

I record my messages so that my partner and my mother can listen to them, It’s surprising how my recurring themes come through over the course of a few months, it is the consistency of the messages that as surprised me and in some respects opened my eyes.

Re: Medium Rare?
 

The more I think about that gypsy woman the more amazed I am, Ian came home a few times after that when he had seen her, she really freaked him out. Each time she told him something about his life and she was always right, put it this way he doesn't laugh it off anymore!!;)

Re: Medium Rare?
 

I used to go to the Christian spiritualist church in Preston a couple of times a week when we lived there.
I used to take MUMMIBOO for the weekend service and on the way home we'd stop to put a pound in the arcade ans share a bag of chips for supper.
Her treat for the week.
I miss that little place it's full of love and has brought me so much comfort through bad times over the years.
There was a medium that lived in Blackpool called Elaine Marler that was very good.
Sue Cook Is Sherman and spiritual healer. I know her very well she's a lovely woman and people that have seen her think she's wonderful.

Re: Medium Rare?
 

I remember about 8 years ago when i was researching in Accrington library i took my mum along because she had just had a hysterectomy and wanted to learn about the internet. Wen we aere there i printed some thing off the printer behind the desk and my mum picked them up. As she did a man from another computer walked up to her and had a conversation about the family which totally spooked her out things he knew where freaky and said if she wanted to know more to meet him outside as people were watching!!! Totally freaked out she came back to the computer and told me of the things he had said to her. I told her to go out and meet him( it was during the day so no risk of attack!) When she came back he had told her that she had had an operation that had taken something away she was still in pain but it will get better and he told her that my brother was in the forces and he wears a grey uniform which he does because hes in the RAF. He also said some other things i cant remember what but it was soooo weird. WE had never met or seen him in accrington before and apparantly he used to pull people aside quite regularly in accrington town centre to tell them things for no money or thanks. He seemed to see himself and helping people and that was all the payment he needed!!!!

Re: Medium Rare?
 

been to see Derek Acorah:p, at ossy town hall, but never got a 'message' from beyond.:(, would love to have a one to one, to see if hes as good as they say he is though:rolleyes:

Re: Medium Rare?
 

I went to the Burnley Spiritualist Church once in the late 60s, with a lady friend who didn't want to go alone. She got a message from her deceased uncle and was overjoyed and burst into tears.
There was no message for me but the clairvoyant told me I had 'the psycic eye' and recommended I attend their 'development classes'. I never went back because the service had a basic christian theme, and invoved praying and hymn singing which I am not into at all. (as an atheist I was not comfortable) That does not mean that I do not believe in life after death - I do - but I do not accept the concept of deities/god(s)

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Religion itself isn’t the basis of spiritualism; in fact the Spiritualist Church is free of the ideology of any specific religion and welcomes anyone irrespective of their beliefs, religious background, race or creed. However, their needs to be a focal point and still being a Christian country we tend to pray and sing along Christian themes which you the individual can chose to participate in or not. Other Church’s or development circles do their own thing but then run the risk of being labelled satanic or some other unchristian element. Even some elements of the Christian Church still do the pointy finger bit at spiritualist.

The up shot is that any true Spiritualist Church will welcome you and permit you to hold your beliefs and still participate in the service; you don’t have to sing or pray to a Christian God. Just God or Spirit or any other form you choose, it helps if you have the light on your side and good thoughts towards your fellow man, there’s good and bad is us all and thoughts are living things, used wisely you can do a lot a good.

Re: Medium Rare?
 

once got slagged of by a so called christian
for attending a spiritualist meeting
he kept quoting the commandment
thou shallt have no other god but me
and wouldnt have no further dialougue with me

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Unfortunately religions (by their very nature) produce bigots.
Today, yet again I have deterred a 'bible thumper' from pestering the man next door (he has 'learning difficulties' - his mother has asked me to)
I have no patience with people who believe the existance of the Earth as being due to a 'divine being', but neither do I press my beliefs on them, and I dont expect them to try change mine (they regard that as being a good person/christian)
You dont need to be a christian to be a good person - just need to respect the rights of others to have a different belief

Re: Medium Rare?
 

I have just turned off TV news in disgust as I heard Bush say "our creeeaator"-
bigotry in politicians is the worst kind

Re: Medium Rare?
 

Doug's right the spiritualist church welcomes anybody and everybody. The visiting mediums don't get paid for what they do, they just get their travel expenses.
they are just a channel for our spirit friends to get their messages across to their loved ones.
my Nana was psychic. She used to read the tea leaves but would only do so if pressured.
She was never wrong in what she told people. She used to tell me never to pay money to anybody saying they have a gift.
She told me if people have been given a gift then they will not charge people. They are given these gifts to help people not to make a living out of them.
She was a wise old lady my Nan.
She went to the spiritualist church when she was younger but stopped going because of people ( family members mostly ) teasing her.
I once pestered and pestered her to read my leavs when I'd just turned 16 and as usual she gave in. She saw an eagle in my cup and begged me to stay in that night because it meant danger.
As usual should have listened to her, but did I? No. Going out with Mick was the only thing on my mind. on the way home I was hit by a car and still have the scar's to this day.

Re: Medium Rare?
 

just come across this thread after posting my own asking for recommendations for a clairvoyant. Does anyone out there know if sue cook is seeing people at the moment and if so, how to contact her
thankyou

Re: Medium Rare?
 

I'm not sure if she's seeing people at the moment because I know she's been ill.
But if she is then she is well worth a visit. She's very good. you may have to wait a good while for an appointment because she's always very busy.
