 Known as the “Last Witch” and “Hellish Nell”, Helen Duncan was a physical medium from Scotland. To many, she was a spiritualist martyr who helped shape modern day Spiritualism, but to skeptics she was simply a fraud. She was born Victoria Helen McCrae on November 25, 1897 in Callander, UK and died on December 6, 1956 in
Edinburgh, UK. Psychic abilities ran on both sides of her family, so as a child it wasn’t uncommon for Helen to see spirits and make predictions that would later come true. In fact, her predictions as a child were so accurate that they got her into trouble on many occasions. As a child it can be so disheartening to see and know things that others aren’t privy to. Helen often felt alone and vulnerable not having someone to turn to, who she could trust and who would help her sort these things out. Back in her day, people were very tight lipped about the spiritual world and psychics were known as crazy people.  Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm a tea fanatic. I'm addicted to starting my day with a good chai tea. Yeah Yeah, I know... caffeine isn't the best thing for a Lightworker but I just can't help myself. It's my guilty pleasure.
Several years ago, I decided to stop drinking coffee and replaced it with tea in an attempt to lower my caffeine intake, but I was desperately missing my beloved pumpkin spice coffee until I found the perfect pumpkin spice chai tea. I love it so much that I can easily drink a few cups a day without even blinking. Alright, I know what you're thinking but just hold that thought.  Have you ever visited a place and immediately felt like the vibe was off and you just wanted to hightail it out of there?
Well that was me about a year and half ago. I have always been able to feel when something was wrong with a person even if they were smiling on the outside, but this experience was like none other. I was looking to buy a house to transition from city living to a more peaceful existence. You know, to focus more on my spiritual practice and to relieve myself of stress and anxiety. I saw a house that looked like a good prospect in a great neighborhood, although it needed a little TLC, I asked my realtor to set up a viewing. I wasn't 100% sure this was the house for me but I wanted to see it and at the very least get some ideas as to what I want in my home and what I didn't want.  Over the past few years I've done a lot of studying and soul searching in order to learn more about what was awakened in me after that first Reiki session. I always felt that I was intuitive and knew things that others didn't, but I would have never considered myself a psychic. Looking back on my life, I now know that's exactly what I am and what I've always been. In fact, I'm not only a psychic but I'm a psychic medium.
There's a lot of confusion out there as to what the difference is between being a psychic and being a medium. Even the title Psychic Medium is confusing because it's a title that doesn't quite make sense although used often. Let me explain. |
