Flower Power – The Symbolism Of Spring Flowers

Flowers, blooms, blossoms…call them what you will; this beautiful and colourful reproductive structure is far more than a wonderful miracle plant of nature.

Flowers possess a powerful healing essence, fragrance, and a beauty that expresses deep emotions and a wealth of sentiments.

It’s not surprising that they are often used, in a bunch or bouquet, to convey our innermost thoughts and heartfelt feelings.

Many countries throughout Europe and Asia have used the symbolic language of flowers for centuries. During the Victorian era, flowers were often used to deliver a discreet message, when words could not be spoken aloud. Even the hand that handed over the bunch of flowers was part of the secret silent dialogue – the right hand meant “yes” and the left “no”.

Flowers are especially abundant in the spring. Their radiance and colour brings a garden to life, and represents birth and new beginnings. Whether you’re cultivating a prize worthy garden or indoor floral display, or choosing a pretty posy for a gift or a special occasion, flowers will effectively get your message across.

To expand your botanical knowledge, take your pick from our listed selection of springtime flowers that symbolise thoughts, feelings and emotions. To benefit from the uplifting energy of flowers, display the colourful arrangement in a place where you can see them often. When you’re on a call to a psychic reader, breathe in the floral fragrance to enhance and balance your emotions.

Allium

Boasting a spherical onion-like cluster appearance, the gorgeous ornamental allium retains its shape throughout the sprint to summer season. This striking flower symbolises patience, unity and good fortune.

Anemone

Spring flowering anemones have black centres and a beautiful and showy wildflower appearance that makes them a popular feature in wedding bouquets. The anemone symbolises anticipation, and good luck, and also wards against evil.

Azalea

In Victorian times, the low maintenance azalea was seen as a symbol of temperance, elegance and wealth, and was often presented as a gift when you wanted someone to reconsider their feelings. This flower’s more modern symbolism is associated with friendship.

Daffodil

The daffodil is a seasonal springtime favourite, and the first perennial to pop into full bloom after the cold, dark winter. These sunny flowers symbolise rebirth and new beginnings, faithfulness, hope, joy and happiness.

Hyacinth

The showy hyacinth boasts multiple star-shaped blooms arranged in a column cluster, and a heady, potent fragrance. They symbolise playfulness, peace, commitment, pride and power.

Iris

The striking yellow-centred iris has distinctive blade-like petals that are said to represent the sorrows of the Virgin Mary. It’s also the national emblem of Florence, in Italy. Faith, trust, wisdom and friendship are the symbolisms that are attributed to this flower.

Lilac

Lovely lilac has an intoxicating fragrance that the Celtics regarded as magical. The perfumed scent is soothing and calming, and perfect for a meditation space. Lilacs are traditionally associated with purity, innocence, and pride, and also symbolise passion and love.

Lily of the Valley

If you want to be lucky in love make sure that you include lily of the valley is your bouquet. This flower symbolically expresses the sentiments of purity, sweetness, humility sincerity and chastity.

Peony

Known for their blousy ruffled blossoms and sweet scent, the peony symbolises compassion, good health, prosperity, a joyous life and a happy marriage. In olden days, gentlemen suitors relied on this gorgeous flower to express their bashfulness, to the lady of their dreams.

Tulip

Named after the Persian word for ‘turban’ (which perfectly complements their curvy shape), tulips represent rebirth, confidence, charity, faithfulness and deep everlasting love.

Flower Essences

You can also benefit from the power of flowers via their essence. The use of flower essences dates back to the 1930s, when Dr Edward Bach diluted flower material in water and created his first flower infusions. His blended Rescue Remedy tincture is still sold all around the world today.

As a new season starts and we start to feel brighter and refreshed, a chat with a psychic reader can help with new beginnings. Call or text one of our professional readers today with Chat2Psychic.

How To Spring Clean Your Life This Easter

Although most people instantly associate Easter with chocolate eggs and bunnies, the religious holiday’s spiritual definition is resurrection and ascension., so it’s the perfect time for some spring cleaning.

Easter is the perfect time of the year for spring cleaning and boosting your energy.

Create space for new opportunities to flow into your life, so that you can enjoy a fresh start.

Banish Negativity

Before you start spring cleaning your life it’s important that you have the right mindset. If your mind is prone to thinking negative thoughts, it’s easy to get yourself stuck in a repetitive cycle of focusing on things that bring your mood down. To release and banish negativity, it’s essential that you adopt a positive approach to everything.

This Easter, let go of old patterns of behaviour and limiting self-beliefs. Replace them with positive thoughts, words and actions.

Say Goodbye To Toxic People

Toxic people are the folk who love to drain your energy. These negative people are typically unsupportive, overly defensive, abusive and/or jealous, and they delight in trying to manipulate by guilt tripping you into doing things their way. Interactions with them usually leave you feeling emotionally exhausted. The culprits can be members of your family, your closest friends, or your partner. You may also have nitpicking, dishonest and self-absorbed toxic people around you in the workplace.

Weed out the toxic people one by one, and detach yourself from the drama queen, the control freak and the fair-weather friend. If it’s not possible to completely sever contact with someone who is negative, do your best to limit it. If you want to attract supportive, nurturing and loyal people into your life, you must wave goodbye to anyone who doesn’t fit the bill.

Clean Out Your Skeleton Cupboard

Everyone has a skeleton cupboard. This is the dark place where you dump your emotional baggage and the painful memories of the past. What lurks in your space can have a detrimental impact on your confidence, happiness and wellbeing. The people who regularly spring clean this space have a lighter and brighter vibration, because they are free of their demons.

A psychic tarot reading can help you identify the issues that linger in the corners of your skeleton cupboard, so that you can work through them. You can also practice meditation to release the emotional pain that blocks you from living a free and happy life.

Sweep Away Stagnant Energy

Decluttering and cleaning your environment removes stagnant energy.  Excess clutter not only makes your space look messy and uninviting, but it also brings the positive and healthy flow of energy to a standstill.

Give your home and workspace a thorough top to bottom clean out. Sweep the floors, dust and polish the surfaces, and open the windows. Use a smudge stick to remove all traces of negative energy in the air. You can also place beautiful crystals that have cleansing and protection properties in your freshly cleaned space.

Shake Up Your Chi

Chi (or Qi) is the vital life force energy that every living entity possesses. This electromagnetic energy current flows through your body via the chakra system, and supports the vital organs. When it’s healthy and free flowing, it’s the driving force behind your vitality. Chi that is blocked or stagnant can lead to health issues.

You can shake up and wake up your Chi with deep and focused breathing exercises, meditation, yoga, or body stretching and tapping.

To tap:  use your hands to gently slap down the inside and up the outside of your arms. Tap all over your face, neck and head, across the shoulders and down your back. Continue tapping down your body, and finish with the legs and feet. Once complete, you will feel wonderfully re-energised.

Spruce Up Your Appearance

Now that you’re feeling rejuvenated, you may decide that it’s also time to spruce up your appearance and image and spring clean your wardrobe. Boost your energy and confidence by swapping comfy tees and sweat pants for clothes that flatter your body, and make you feel good.

This Easter, resurrect the long-forgotten outfits that have been hanging in your wardrobe for years. And have a mini ascension by changing up your hairstyle and/or makeup. Little tweaks, like wearing your favourite colours, and the clothes that you reserve for special occasions, can make a big difference to your energy, positivity, and outlook on life.

So to put this in motion, call and chat to one of our dedicated psychics this Easter.

Making Mothering Sunday Special

Annually celebrated on the 4th Sunday in Lent (that’s 3 weeks before Easter), Mothering Sunday is the special day when we honour and celebrate our mothers.

The tradition started in England, around the 17th century, when children who worked as apprentices and domestic servants were allowed a day off to spend time with their mothers on Mid-Lent Sunday. After going to church together, the youngest children would pick flowers from roadside bushes to give to their mothers. Older siblings baked a Simnel Cake as a Mother’s Day gift.

Modern day Mother’s Day celebrates the amazing women who have nurtured, loved and supported us. On Mothering Sunday (14th March), it’s time to pay back the love and care that you’ve received unconditionally.

Mothering Role Models

As a child, the relationship that you have with your mother helps to shape your view of the world. If you’re lucky to have a strong loving and giving relationship with your mother, it can grow into a deep friendship bond that continues to enrich life in your adult years.

Unfortunately, not everyone has a mother who is great role model material. Some people have a strained or conditional relationship with their mother. And others have no relationship at all.

If you had a strong bond and your Mum has passed away, you may still feel her presence around you. Even though she is no longer with you, on Mother’s Day you can honour her memory and connect with her spirit on a soul level.

Some people have an alternative significant female who plays the mother role in their life. This could be a grandmother, or other close relative, an adoptive mother, or a foster mother or mentor.

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

If your Mum is nurturing and supportive, you can show reciprocal unconditional love through thoughtful actions and deeds, and kind words. The perfect gift to give them on Mother’s Day is something that is personal…

As a picture is worth a thousand words, you can convey your heartfelt feelings with a beautiful photograph of the two of you together, presented in an attractive photo frame. Choose an evocative snap of a favourite happy memory, or include a recent shot of you with your children that she will cherish and treasure as a keepsake.

If mum loves bling, a stunning piece of rose quartz or purple amethyst crystal jewellery will enhance her auric energy and wellbeing. These crystals boast healing properties and strong love vibes.

To help heal a relationship rift with your mother, a moonstone crystal is beneficial. Moonstone possesses rebalancing calming and soothing energy, enhances empathy and intuition, and helps to clear negativity.

Every mother loves to receive a fabulous bouquet of fresh flowers on Mother’s Day. Instead of picking a random bunch, take your time selecting flowers by their special and unique meanings. Daffodils, geraniums, honeysuckle, lily-of-the-valley, Morning Glory and Calla lilies will beautifully express your feelings of love and affection.

An aromatherapy kit containing essential oils and body care products makes an excellent gift for any mother who needs some TLC. The aromatic botanicals are particularly beneficial in the treatment of stress, anxiety and other symptoms.

Reconnecting With Mum

If mum is no longer physically in your life, you can feel reconnected via a spiritual reading with an experienced medium. A psychic reading is an uplifting experience that can provide comfort and healing.

Mother’s Day is a special time when you can feel close to your mum again, and connect with her spirit on a deep soul level. It’s a lovely idea to spend Mother’s Day celebrating wonderful memories, and doing things that you loved to do together.

Celebrating Mother Nature

And don’t forget to take a moment to honour Gaia, the ancestral Mother of all life, with your presence on Mothering Sunday!

Go outdoors and take off your shoes, to feel the earth beneath your feet. Take some deep breaths to ground yourself. Visualise healing white light rising from the core of the earth and filling up your entire body. As you soak it all up, you’ll feel positively empowered.

If you’d like to speak to our psychics to help with anything related to Mothering Sunday, call Chat2Psychic today.

How To Become A Love Magnet

If the long-celebrated annual romantic event of St. Valentine’s Day on February 14th makes you feel lovelorn, it’s time to raise your vibe and become a love magnet.

To attract a healthy and loving relationship, you need to let go of previous heartache and emotional baggage, practice self-love, and get clear on what you value and want in your love life.

A ‘love magnet’ has the power to attract a connection that is perfectly aligned to their frequency of amour.

Dump Emotional Baggage

Are you living in the past and constantly pondering over ‘what might have been?’ if your previous relationship had gone the distance? Do you wonder why the intense love feelings quickly disappear, when you’re all loved-up with someone new?

No matter how many times your heart has been broken, it’s definitely possible to heal from hurt and become someone who feels happy and loved.

To attract a loving relationship that is reciprocal, you need to dump your emotional baggage fast. The emotional pain that lingers after a failed or hurtful relationship breakup acts like a romance deterrent and repels suitors who are keen to express feelings of genuine love.

When you’re giving out a needy vibe, only love that offers more potential pain is magnetised to you. It’s crucial that you learn how to appreciate, value and love yourself, before you give your full attention and love to someone else.

The 3 Types Of Love

Another reason why it’s essential that you dump emotional baggage ASAP, is that it impacts on the type of love that can magnetise to you.

  • It’ll-do-for-now-love

If you’ve worked hard at elevating your love vibe by focusing on yourself, you’ll be feeling positive and confident, and keen to make it’ll-do-for-now-love connections during the month that is synonymous with romance.

As a novice love magnet, you’ll have no problem grabbing the attention of suitors that want to hook up for a mutual ego boost. Don’t expect this type of love to last too long though.

  • Soul mate love

Every once in a while you may encounter someone who magically appears in your life and completely transforms it. A soul mate romantic love connection can be intense and passionate, but also greatly challenging.

A soul mate connection draws two people together to fulfill the desire of their souls. While this type of love can teach you how to love unconditionally, not all soul mate lovers stay together forever.

  • True love

If you’ve committed to the sacred practice of healing your heart after experiencing all dimensions of love, heartbreak and unrequited love, it’s possible to become a love magnet that effortlessly draws long-lasting true love towards you.

The rare Twin Flame union is reserved for individuals who have raised their love vibe and level of spiritual awareness to great heights.

Love Magnet Know-How

Instead of wallowing in self-pity because there isn’t a huge pile of Valentine cards on your doormat this year, set the intention to become a love magnet, and follow these guidelines…

There is always love all around you, but you have to alter your perspective about what St. Valentine’s Day is all about in order to be able to sense it and see it. Celebrate love by valuing and appreciating the meaningful little things in your life that give you a feeling of joy.

Make St. Valentine’s Day a special time for you and those you love – including family, friends and your pets.

If you’re single, have fun daydreaming about an imaginary version of Mr or Ms Right. Consider personal values, and their character and personality traits that most appeal to you.

Visualise you and your future beloved together in the committed love relationship of your dreams. Pay attention to how you feel, when you visualise the romantic scenario. A love magnet plugs into this high vibe ‘feeling’ on a daily basis to align and synchronise with romantic opportunities.

Have a love tarot reading with an experienced psychic reader to help you understand your repetitive patterns of behaviour in romantic relationships. Your reader will be able to tell you if the person you’re presently interested in is your ideal love match, or if your perfect partner is yet to cross your path.

As a love magnet, you have the power to create the love life that you want. All you have to do is be authentically you!

21 Ways To Make 2021 Your Best Ever Year!

As we wave goodbye to an unforgettable (and challenging) 2020, it’s time to adopt a positive attitude, and to set an intention to make 2021 your best ever year.

Here are some inspiring ideas that you can use to enhance your wellbeing throughout the New Year…

  1. Find reasons to be cheerful

Every day presents you with at least one reason to be cheerful. On some days, there is an abundance of happy moments. On other days, you may have to go in search of them. Commit to being upbeat and you’ll easily find plenty.

  1. Shake-up your routine

Break up the monotony of your daily routines and shake-up stagnant energy in the process. Look for new and creative ways of doing all of the boring things that are essential, at home and at work.

  1. Find your happy place

When you’re feeling stressed, it’s beneficial to have a special happy place that you can visit or spend time in to rebalance yourself. This could be a room in your home, or an outdoor location that lifts your spirits.

  1. Reinvent yourself

If you’re tried of looking at the same reflection in the mirror, revamp your style and reinvent yourself. Show off your on trend fashion sense, change your hairstyle, and wear clothes that make you feel fabulous.

  1. Treat your body like a temple

To maintain good health in 2021, it’s important to treat your body with respect. Stay well hydrated, and eat nutritious foods that boost your energy levels. If you’re conscious of the environment, you may want to swap your meat-based meals for a vegetarian or vegan plant-based diet.

  1. Develop good habits

Get out of the habit of lounging on the comfy sofa every evening, by developing habits that are good for your vitality. Go for long strolls (with or without your dog), practice yoga or meditation, or take up a fitness challenge that requires you to train regularly.

  1. Be authentic

Empower yourself by making a commitment to show up, speak up, and shine your light wherever you go. Make 2021 the year that you reveal the best version of you to the world.

  1. Forgive and forget

If you’re weighed down by emotional baggage it can be challenging to move forward in life. Lighten your load by forgiving yourself and others, and starting over. Leave the past behind and focus your attention on new goals.

  1. Open your heart

Open your heart to sharing more love with your partner, children, family and friends. Don’t be shy about letting everyone know how much they mean to you. The more love you express, the greater the love you will experience.

  1. Do good deeds

Get warm and fuzzy feelings by doing good deeds, for the benefit of other people and your community. Doing a daily random act of kindness can have a positive impact on someone’s life, and also enrich yours.

  1. Give something back

Show gratitude for everything that you have by giving something back. Volunteer your time, share your knowledge, or give a monetary donation to a good cause that is close to your heart.

  1. Lead by example

Set the standard for others to follow by being happy and authentic. Think about good times. Feel the happy vibe dancing in your tummy, put on your best smile, and show the world how glad you are to be alive.

  1. Give your space a makeover

Living in a cluttered or messy space can bring your elevated good mood crashing down. Make 2021 the year that you practice decluttering to enhance the flow of energy around you.

  1. Learn something new

One of the easiest ways to make a positive lifestyle change in 2021 is to take up a new interest or hobby. Rediscover your passion for dancing, cooking, gardening, rock climbing, horse riding, or whatever floats your boat.

  1. Step out of your comfort zone

If you’re a creature of habit, dare yourself to try things that take you out of your comfort zone. Be spontaneous, adventurous and open to exploring every opportunity that comes your way.

  1. Discover your life purpose

If you don’t know what your purpose in life is, have a psychic reading. An experienced psychic reader can help you identify opportunities and possibilities in all areas of your life, and also shed light on the reason that you are here on the planet.

  1. Make new memories

Take photos of the happiest moments in 2021. Each one is a memory to treasure.

  1. Make new friends

When you have a high positive vibe you’ll naturally attract new people into your life who are on the same wavelength. Be open to creating new friendships and connections.

  1. Experiment with food

Tickle your taste buds with a riot of recipes from all over the world. Try new flavours and treat yourself to your culinary favourites.

  1. Create a 2021 soundtrack

Create a soundtrack of uplifting tunes that you associate with happy and fun events, occasions and memories throughout the year.

  1. Live in the moment

Take a mindful moment every day to breathe deeply, as you give thanks for all of the little things that make a big difference. When you live mostly in the moment, every experience that you have in 2021 is appreciated and valued.

Your Spiritual Christmas Gift Guide

The religious and cultural festival of Christmas is celebrated all over the world on 25th December. It’s a time when people embellish their home with symbolic decorations, and traditionally unite to feast and exchange gifts.

Whilst consumerism has long played a big part in how many individuals experience Christmas, more and more people are actively choosing to celebrate the annual festival in a way that is meaningful, mindful, and spiritual.

Perfect Christmas Gifts For The People You Love

The latest trend, hot gadget, or state-of-the-art techy gift doesn’t quite cut it, when you’re choosing meaningful Christmas gifts for family and friends. For a festive celebration that has a spiritual slant, you’ll need to reflect on how you feel about the lucky recipient and the annual celebration, and the gratitude you have for everything that you have in your life.

If you need some gift buying inspiration this year, draw up a list of the people you want to buy a gift for, and meditate on each person. You may be pleasantly surprised by what you’re spiritually guided to choose for your loved ones.

Inspired Gift Ideas

For Someone Special:

You don’t have to spend a fortune to impress that special person in your life. Your spouse, long-term partner or a soulmate will appreciate a gift that costs no money at all!

The gift of a shared experience is the ultimate Christmas present for the one you love. Experience-based gifts create fond memories and strengthen the bond between you. Pick a date in 2021 and plan a romantic get-together that includes things that are meaningful to you both. You can present this unique gift in the form of a handcrafted invitation or a personal message recorded on video.

For Your Parents:

Show your parents how much gratitude you have for their love, nurturing and support over the years, by giving them the Christmas gift of a personalised service.

Offer to redecorate their living room or bedroom in a soothing, tranquil colour, and to add feng shui elements and crystals to harmonise the space. If mum or dad is a keen gardener, buy them a beautiful plant and promise to weed the entire garden in the New Year. Design and print an IOU voucher that you can attach to the plant pot.

For Siblings:

Environmentally conscious siblings are perhaps the easiest people to buy Christmas gifts for. You can offer to make a donation to their favourite cause, or choose a charity related gift that keeps on giving.

A sibling who is spiritually minded will be appreciative of the gift of a book that offers greater knowledge, in the personal development niche that they are exploring. Gift them a book about spirituality or esoteric matters. Vegan and vegetarian cookbooks are an excellent alternative spiritual Christmas gift for the foodie in your family.

For The Kids:

Encourage your kids to develop an interest in health, vitality and fitness, by choosing thoughtful physical activity based Christmas gifts. Youngsters will love energy burning active play with toys that get them climbing, spinning or bouncing. Introduce older children to mindfulness and yoga, and gift them a colourful yoga mat, activity cards, and a child friendly DVD that shows a variety of poses and asanas to follow.

Tempt teens to try out a mindfulness or mood tracker app that helps overcome feelings of anxiety or stress, by presenting it on an upgraded mobile device.

For Your Workmate:

A calendar, planner or journal is the ideal practical Christmas gift for a workmate or colleague. Choose one that features attractive illustrations or photographs alongside mindfulness quotes that inspire spiritual contemplation and reflection.

For Your BFF:

Your best friend will love a gorgeous crystal or semi-precious mineral gemstone that boosts their energy and wellbeing. Choose a stylish piece of beautiful handcrafted jewellery that features their birthstone, or a crystal with specific properties and qualities.

A psychic reading is the perfect special Christmas gift for a friend who may be in need of guidance, comfort or spiritual support. Choose a credit card reading and let your friend select a convenient time to make the call to an experienced psychic reader of their choice. This thoughtful and inspired Christmas gift can also be given to your spouse, parents or siblings.

7 Ways To Boost Your Winter Wellbeing

As wonderful as the season of winter can be, it can also have a detrimental impact on your wellbeing. There’s a need to do far more than wrap up warm, if you want to protect your immune system, limit stress and pressure, and have fun from the end of November to March.

Look after yourself by following our 7 winter wellbeing tips:

  1. Reduce Stress

Winter officially kicks off with the lead up to Christmas. This hectic period of activity can quickly increase stress and pressure, if you don’t know how to effectively manage everything on your to-do list. The more stressed you feel, the greater your chances of knocking your immune system off kilter.

To reduce stress in your life, look for ways in which you can minimise your workload and responsibilities throughout the winter months. Saying “no” to anything that adds extra pressure, and delegating tasks/chores to other people, can help to boost your sense of wellbeing.

  1. Stay Hydrated

When it’s cold outside you’re likely to feel less thirsty than when the temperature is high. Skimping on your water intake is not a good idea though. It’s important to stay well hydrated. Drinking 6 to 8 glasses of water (for women) and 8 to 10 glasses (for men) regulates your body temperature, delivers nutrients to cells, and keeps organs functioning properly. Good hydration is also beneficial for maintaining healthy skin.

If you’re not a fan of the neutral taste of water, you can pep it up by adding slices of fresh lemon, or other fruits. Drinking green or black tea also counts towards your recommended daily water intake.

  1. Watch What You Eat

Nothing beats tucking into comfort foods when the weather is harsh. Just because you’re hiding your body under extra layers of clothes, it doesn’t mean that you should give into every edible temptation. While most people expect to put on a few pounds over the festive season, watching what you eat and managing portion size can help balance the Christmas indulgence.

Eat your biggest meal of the day as early as possible, to avoid going to bed on a full stomach, and subsequent sleep disruption. Feast on a smaller serving of your favourite comfort foods, with a larger side of fresh vegetables.

  1. Salute The Sun

As sunshine is in short supply during the winter, it’s important to make the most of it to top up on vitamin D. Whenever possible, wrap up warm and go for a walk in nature. Connecting to the elements helps to keep your body from feeling sluggish and has a positive impact on your mind.

Salute the sun on your morning work to work, and if you can, work close to a window. If you suffer from seasonal affective disorder (SAD), use a lightbox or SAD lamp to boost your mood during the dark winter months.

If your exposure to natural light and fresh air is limited, pop a daily vitamin D supplement and consume a good variety of vitamin D-rich foods like eggs, liver, oily fish (salmon, mackerel and fresh tuna), cheese, and orange juice.

  1. Exercise Your Mind & Body

The motivation to stick to an exercise regime can easily disappear in the run-up to Christmas and New Year. When it’s cold, wet and dark outside, leaving your cosy comfort zone, to go to the gym, can be quite a challenge. Exercising at home can help you stay physically active.

Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise like dancing around the kitchen, or intensive housework, is great for raising your heart rate. Having a kick about with your kids or taking the dog for a long walk also count towards the recommended 150 minutes of weekly exercise. If you’re happy to go to exercise classes, balance high-intensity running, cycling or interval training, with yoga, tai chi, and meditation practice.

  1. Try New Activities

The winter season is a perfect time for exploring new interests. While you’re hibernating you can teach yourself how to cook, how to make jewellery, arts and crafts, or beer brewing!

If you’re interested in all things esoteric, you can learn all about the art of the tarot and explore other forms of divination.

  1. Find Your Inner Peace

One of the easiest ways to boost your winter wellbeing is to have a psychic reading with an experienced tarot reader. A psychic reading is an empowering experience that can give you valuable insights, guidance and motivation. It can also boost your mood and leave you with a feeling of inner calm and peace.

If that sounds like something you’d like, call and speak to one of our dedicated psychics today.

Halloween: Strange And Spooky Facts

Celebrated in many countries on October 31st, Halloween is without a shadow of a doubt, the spookiest event of the year.

The annual supernatural celebration traditionally involves dressing up in outlandish costumes, and asking strangers if they want a trick or a treat.

The origins of Halloween date back around 6000 years. Over 2000 years ago, the Celtic pagan religious festival of Samhain (pronounced ‘sow-win’) was first held in honour of the harvest and the ‘dark half of the year’. During this ancient spiritual tradition – celebrated between October 31st and November 1st – the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead is at its thinnest.

Dress To Impress In A Spooky Costume

For many people, dressing up in spooky costumes is the best part of Halloween. The ancient Celts believed that by dressing up to look like demons they could scare off the evil spirits that crossed over into the physical world during Samhain. This idea was inspired by earlier French and German tribes that wore costumes made from the heads and skins of animals, during ceremonies to connect with the spirits of the dead.

Decorate With Orange And Black

The instantly recognisable Halloween colours of orange and black reflect the season of autumn, and the connection to the dark side.

Carve Up A Jack-O-Lantern

We love to pick out a prime plump pumpkin to carve into a Jack-O-Lantern for Halloween. This strange custom originates from a tale of Celtic lore about an old man known as Stingy Jack. One day he made a bet and tricked the Devil, and was forever denied entrance to Heaven or Hell.

Condemned to wander the Earth for the rest of his days, Jack made a lantern out of a turnip, and put a piece of coal inside to light it. He uses his lantern to wickedly lead other people astray from their paths. To keep Jack away, people carve scary faces into a pumpkin to place outside their home.

If you’re growing your own pumpkin for carving, you may want to compare your growth results with a man named Ron Wallace. In 2006 he grew a pumpkin that weighed a mighty 1,502lbs. Not surprisingly, it holds the current World Record for the largest pumpkin ever grown.

The fastest pumpkin carving record in the world is 16.47 seconds, and is held by Stephen Clarke.           

Trick Or Treat?

Trick or treating is inspired by an ancient European custom that involved dressing up and going door-to-door to perform choreographed dances and plays in exchange for food. As many of the early trick-or-treaters were poor people, it was considered to be door-to-door begging, and was banned in the 1930s.

The people of Scotland and Ireland continued the tradition. Children would dress up to go ‘guising’, and would perform a song or dance ‘trick’ for fruit or coins. If they went ‘souling’ on All Saint’s Day (November 2nd) they got to eat tasty pastry treats.

Halloween ‘tricks’ originated in the 1920s in North America. Young people who enjoyed having a laugh and playing pranks modified the ‘guising’ and ‘souling’ customs of the Scottish and Irish immigrants.

The Top Halloween Treat

If you want to avoid being on the receiving end of a ‘trick’ when trick-or-treaters come calling, you’d be wise to fill up your goodies basket with chocolate. It’s reported that 50% of children prefer chocolate to other types of sweets and treats at Halloween.

Watch Out For The Black Cat!

In medieval times, black cats were known as the familiars (supernatural pet) of witches, and were often associated with superstition and bad luck. Because they were linked to sorcery and witchcraft, it was a common practice to burn black cats to protect against the threat of fire. Today, in the UK and Japan, a black cat is widely accepted as a sign of good fortune and luck.

The Witchy Stuff

At one time, Wiccan witches were viewed as wise women and were highly respected. One of the strangest Halloween customs involves putting your clothes on inside out and walking backwards on Halloween night. If you do that at midnight, some people believe you’ll get to see a real witch.

While you’re searching for witches, look out for this Halloween’s ‘blue full moon’. It’s rare to see a full moon on this day of the year. The last full moon on Halloween was in 2001.

Halloween: Not For The Faint-Hearted

Not everyone gets excited about dressing up in scary costumes and having frightful fun with family and friends at Halloween. If you have samhainophobia, your pathological fear of Halloween may make you want to turn out the lights and pretend you’re not at home when trick-or-treaters come a-calling.

Our dedicated psychics are available for professional readings this Halloween!

Five Reasons To Have A Tarot Card Reading

A psychic tarot card reading is an empowering personal experience that can help you find clarity on important matters, peace of mind, comfort, and a renewed zest for life. When you have worries or concerns, tapping into the spiritual realm can provide you with beneficial insights and guidance, so that you can empower yourself to move forward beyond your challenges.

Experienced psychic readers often use divination tools to connect with your energy during a phone, text or one-to-one reading.

One of the most popular tools is the tarot – a deck of 78 cards split into 22 Major Arcana (significant identifiers) and 56 Minor Arcana cards (which include 4 suits).

When you have a tarot reading on the phone, the reader shuffles the deck on your behalf, while you focus on the question that you want ask. Cards are selected and laid out in a spread, for interpretation. Via the tarot, the Universe will communicate what it wants you to know.

Although there are unlimited reasons to consult the tarot, the 5 top reasons to make a call to a psychic tarot reader are:

  • You Want Love Advice

The top hot topic that tarot readers most frequently explore for callers is matters of the heart. If you’re trying to mend a broken heart, longing to find your soulmate, or simply want impartial advice to help your dating prospects, a tarot reading can greatly benefit you.

Challenging soul lessons can often keep you stuck repeating a never-ending cycle of romance failures. Getting clarity on a situation, knowing what to expect, and having a realistic but optimistic outlook can prove to be invaluable in the game of love. A psychic tarot love reading can examine the emotional filled Cups in the deck, to identify what’s in store in your love life.

  • You’ve Experienced A ‘Tower’ Moment

A psychic tarot reading can shed light on matters that have caused a disaster to occur in your life. The Tower card is a common tarot card to pull if you’re experiencing issues at work, home, or in your love relationship.

The Tower card indicates that something is no longer working for you, and that it’s time to make long overdue improvements. ‘Tower’ moments are divinely orchestrated so that you get out of your comfort zone and actively make positive changes in your life.

  • You’re Grieving

Bereavement hurts the living in ways that can impact your whole life. Moving beyond grief can be extremely difficult for some people. Even if you have the support of family members and loyal friends, it can still be challenging to find the comfort that you seek.

Consulting a tarot reader, in your time of grief, can help you come to terms with the emotional pain that you are experiencing. The Sword cards in the tarot deck represent the heart, emotions and intellect, and reflect suffering and surrender.

  • You’re Spiritually Curious

Spiritual curiosity is the desire to explore everything in life. The mystic world holds a great deal of interest for people who are seeking to become the best version of Self. If you’re keen to gain a greater understanding of your soul, a tarot reading offers an excellent method to help you cross the bridge to the spiritual gateway that leads you to discover the wonders of the Universe.

If The Hermit, the High Priestess or The Hanged Man cards appear in your tarot reading, you’re ripe and ready to dive into your spiritual development.

  • You Want To Find Your Life Purpose

People who are stuck in an unfulfilling career often decide to go in search of their life purpose. Your soul’s calling is a vocation that fills you with joy and a great deal of job satisfaction, and will also benefit mankind in some way or other. Not everyone discovers life purpose at the start of their climb up the career ladder. Oftentimes, it takes a ‘Tower’ moment to open your eyes to the path that leads to your true purpose in life.

If the 5 of Pentacles tarot card appears in your psychic reading, it’s time to swap material desires for wealth that is spiritual. A psychic reading can help you understand what you’re here to do, and how to align yourself with career success.

Psychic Reading: 5 Ways It Can Make You Happier

Can a psychic reading make you happier? There are many things that a psychic reading can bring you. We have listed some below.

In order to adhere to UK law, a psychic reading service must clearly state that it is for ‘entertainment’ purposes. However, the information, insights and guidance that you receive during a psychic consultation, offer far more than just an amusement distraction.

A psychic reading can be a powerful and empowering experience that can have a positive impact on your happiness and wellbeing.

Via a psychic, tarot, clairvoyant mediumship or intuitive reading, you can connect with an experienced reader who has the ability to tap into the spiritual realm to access valuable information that can help you transform your life.

What you discover during a psychic reading can positively affect your emotions and feelings and help you shift your perception and limiting beliefs. When you’re dealing with a great deal of stress, emotional distress, or confusion and are finding it challenging to cope with situations, having easy access to mood lifting insights is invaluable.

Psychic Reading Expectations

It’s natural to have some kind of expectation when having a psychic/tarot or mediumship reading. If you’re a first time caller, you may be a little apprehensive or skeptical about the spiritual experience you’re about to embark on.

Letting go of any preconceived ideas regarding what information you will receive during the psychic reading will be far more beneficial to you than having an unrealistic approach.

To avoid disappointment, it’s important to have an open mind and to focus on what you sense, feel and know. A psychic reader who connects with you on a soul level is able to share insights that inspire, motivate, uplift and empower you.

The 5 Most Positive Reasons To Have A Psychic Reading

There are many reasons why people all over the world pick up the phone and consult a psychic. Although the reasons may be varied, the underlying desire is the same for every caller… Everyone wants to feel happier!

  1. Hope

Many people seek spiritual and psychic guidance during times of emotional distress. When you’re experiencing the dark night of the soul, it can be extremely difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. A psychic reading can give you a glimmer of hope and help you to dig deep into your reserves of inner strength so that you can overcome your burdens and challenges.

In your time of need, an experienced psychic reader will listen to you and will help you gain a clearer understanding of your situation. The sense of renewed hope that you feel will lift your mood and shift your perspective, so that you become more optimistic.

  1. Comfort

People who are grieving the loss of a loved one often need support and comfort that is deeply spiritual. Some people choose to consult a psychic medium in order to reconnect with the person (or pet) that has passed over.

Knowing that your loved one is in a better place is comforting, and can make you feel happier about continuing to live your life without their physical presence around you.

  1. Clarity

In some situations you may not have all of the information that you need. To gain clarity on matters of the heart, or life lessons, many people turn to a psychic reader.

If you’re experiencing relationship turmoil, a psychic reading may reveal insights that give you greater clarity, and an understanding of how to make the best decision, or how to cut ties and move on.

A mind that is muddled negatively impacts on your happiness and sense of inner peace. Experiencing a priceless ‘aha!’ moment can make you feel uplifted, happy, and confident about tackling just about anything.

  1. Validation

Some people consult a psychic tarot reader in order to get confirmation about something that they already believe or know. Having your feelings, thoughts and beliefs validated can be a liberating experience, even when the insight is something you would rather not have confirmed.

Validation is particularly helpful when you’re facing a variety of choices, or are about to make an important decision. Knowing that what you sense or feel is ‘right’, and in alignment with your spiritual path and destiny, can make you feel joyous and happy.

  1. Unexpected Good News

The most positive information that you could possibly receive, during a psychic reading, is good news that you weren’t anticipating!

If you’ve been through a difficult time and your psychic reader tells you that good news is coming your way, don’t be surprised if the information makes you feel instantly deliriously happy or even moved to tears.
