In a world that values data and the tangible, services based on intuition and personal insight can easily be misunderstood. They are often seen as less important. Have you ever wondered why a tarot reader, energy healer, or spiritual guide charges for their time? Or maybe you’ve questioned if such fees are fair? If so, this post is for you.

My work as a spirit medium, tarot reader, and healer goes beyond shuffling cards. It’s about intuition, interpretation, and helping people find clarity and self-awareness. Like many in my field, I frequently encounter a pervasive sentiment: "Why charge for something that isn't 'science-based'?" or "Isn't this something that should be free?"

Let's unpack that.

By Ella Young

Forget the hearth,

Forget the roof,

Set the wheel aside:

Warp and woof.

Steal out to us this Samhain-tide.

Steal out to us, our tossing hair

Sets sun and moon and stars aflare.

The racing winds are hounds beside

The cloud-maned horses that we ride.

Come ride with us, have heart to dare

The plunging steed; the steeps of air;

The swirling, high, tumultuous flight,

The Faery hooves -- this Samhain Night!

Loneliness is a state of mind. It's a state you can change. Look around you. See the beauty of the universe? See the trees, the sunshine, the clouds, the animals and birds? What do all living things, including the trees, plants, and even the grass have in common? They are all products of creation, just as you are. Full of life. Full of light. In you exists everything you need for happiness and love. From you, all light and love grows. You are part of the fabric of the universe, woven in by the source of all life like a beautiful, shining bead in a tapestry. Without you, that spot in the fabric would be less bright. How can you be lonely or sad when you are part of such a beautiful work, when you are loved so much that you were given such a place of honor? ✌️ 💜 👑 ✨

Honestly, I didn't know much about her personal life. The week before my visit, I was trying to decide what to wear on my trip. It was going to be really hot that day and I wasn't sure what would be most comfortable. I had chosen two options: a white summer dress or a multicolored summer dress.

My guides told me, "Wear the white," so I did. When I got there, I was really excited, but I didn't know what to expect. Speaking directly with her was not on my mind at all. I just wanted to get a feel for the place and experience her space with an open mind. I walked in, and it felt alive.

In a room that was like a library, I immediately was drawn to the books that were hers before the guide told us what they were. In the grand parlors, I would get a bit of a surprise. I was listening to the guide and I heard a woman's soft voice say loudly, "I died when I was about your age."

It felt like my heart skipped a beat and it started racing. I looked around the room. I asked the guide, "How old was she when she died?" He didn't know. Neither did I, until after the tour when I looked it up, and Emily died at exactly my age at the time of my visit. Anyway, the tour went on.

As we ascended the stairs, I heard the voice again say, "I like your dress." I whispered, "Thank you." I didn't know the significance until we got to her room -- in the center of the floor was a white dress that she always wore in her older days. She was known locally as the lady in white. 😳

Late in life, she was reclusive, but she had beautiful gardens. When I visited the garden, I felt the tingles of electric sparks all over my body, and I knew she was there. It was her favorite spot. I hope to visit again someday soon. Perhaps I'll stay longer in the garden.

I wish all of you a peaceful and merry holiday season! May you have joy in abundance now and throughout the coming year. Find ways to nourish your spirit and enjoy the simple things.

"My temple is my body

My world around me my altar

My words are spells

Every thought an intention

My actions rituals

To manifest all that will be

I am Sacred

I am Divine"

We've hit mid-winter and the days will get longer, but the deep cold of winter may keep us huddled in the warmth where we can continue to plan for the spring. Now is a great time to venture out into beautiful, crisp, wintry nature to celebrate the rebirth of the sun and thank the earth for her bounty and constant support. Yule logs, twinkling lights, and candles in our windows are also great ways to welcome the light back into our lives and push back the darkness. Bring some fresh holly inside and keep it near your door to invite good fortune for the coming year. Put your blessing and ritual items and stones in the sunlight to give them an extra boost of magic!

Blessings to you and your kin. 🌟✨ ❄ 🎄
