In the last week I have paid two visits to a Spiritualist church. Regular readers will know that I am not only a believer of the afterlife but have witnessed spirit before.
The church is situated in an industrial estate and was a very welcoming place. My first visit, last Wednesday involved a visiting medium who gave readings to people sat in the audience, sadly not me, but I enjoyed it non the less.
Last night was "open circle" Once the meeting was opened with a prayer and a song the lights were dimmed and we sat in silence, eventually the lady on front of me got up and picked out someone in the circle, she gave validation that she had spirit communicating through her and passed on messages. In turn people around the room got up and gave out messages, some were experienced others people developing their gift.
My aunt (who died this month) visited the church regularly and it was with her daughters I went with. We didn't get a message, but I felt we had loved ones around us. My personal thoughts are that my cousins aren't ready for contact yet, when they are my aunt will come through, as did my brother last year. That was 30 years after his death and still emotional.
Lee reckons I'm turning into a "bible basher" but despite his teasing, I will return next week. Abi wants to come along too!
