At The Owl Nest we get asked a lot of interesting questions from clients and customers about our various experiences with astrology, divination, holistic health, ghosts, religion, spirituality, etc. Over the next few months we will be posting Q & A with each of our instructors, practitioners, readers and staff members.

 Question #1: What was your first experience in metaphysical spirituality?

One of my earliest memories is hiding in a crawl space in my parent’s house. I was hiding from my father - he was an alcoholic and liked to be abusive. While sitting in there a gold light appeared in the darkness and said to me "none of this is your fault". Because of that I grew up believing that I was not to blame and my dad was just screwy....

Another early memory is of seeing what I believed to be the tooth fairy. She was flying out of my window as I woke early one morning. When I was about to exclaim about it she took her finger to her lips (like a shhhh...sound) and flew away. I remember her being so beautiful and light. Of course, no one believed me!

#2: How did Spirit call you to mediumship?

At the age of 27 I was inundated with the dead. They kept showing up everywhere and they would just stand there and stare at me. Finally, I thought that I would have to put myself in an asylum...until I found a medium that could explain what was happening to me and how to use it. He told me it would never go away and I might as well do some good with it.

#3: How do you receive information and messages from Spirit?

I receive through Clairvoyance...or clear seeing. I see through my third eye. It's not like actually seeing someone standing there in front of me. I see them in my mind's eye. I am working on my clairaudience right now. I’m trying to hear them better. So far that comes in dribs and drabs - the information that I receive from them is usually like a telepathic knowing.

#4: Who do you most admire in the metaphysical/occult community?

I love Lisa Williams...I think she's great. I like her because she doesn't take herself too seriously and seems to have fun with it. She's amazing. And of course, there's the Reverends that I take courses with down in Roanoke (with the Metaphysical Churches) that I think are excellent.

#5: Do you have any world predictions for 2009?

LOL - I don't give those but I believe that we are heading into a time of peace, hope and love...thanks to Mr. Obama.
