Stories of Spirit…The Veil is thinning [Autumn- the Season of Spirits]

Well it’s official-I am back in the country & back to work, just in time for my favorite Season. I love Autumn…the smells, the colors & the thickness of the Spirit world. As Samhain/Halloween approaches the veil between the Living & Dead becomes thin, allowing Spirits to appear more clearly in our world. During the months of September, October & November people are more likely to have personal experiences with the Spirits of their Ancestors and encounter other Souls who ar

Sacred Travel…Flying Odin Air [part 1…Salicrow goes to Iceland]

My Journey to Iceland is indeed Sacred Travel, for I have been called there by Odin himself. Last Fall I saw that Iceland was building a temple to the Norse Gods. This was amazing, as there has not been a temple dedicated to the Norse Gods in Iceland for 1000 years. On a personal level this was truly moving and brought me to tears, as I have a tight relationship with Odin & Freyja. I found this information highly exciting and started thinking that maybe I would go to Icel

Stories of Spirit…Aunty Baba’s House for Wayward Spirit Children [ part 2 of Julies adve

Over the years many Children’s Spirits have resided at the Little-Big House. Some stay for a short bit, some for a long, but all who come know they are welcome as long as they play nice. The most common reason for a Spirit to resist crossing the Veil is fear. In many ways Sandy provides a place of love and healing for these lost Spirits. She listens to their stories and tries to make them comfortable with being dead & when the time is right she helps them move across the

Stories of Spirit…Sitting in Time Out [Suicide & the Soul]

TIME OUT… Suicide/death by our own hands is the last resort of a tormented soul. No one wakes up cheerfully and decides that today is a good day to die, best get to it. Often the Soul in question has struggled for years with depression, mental illness and deep pain. For some there are long lines of warning signs leading up to the final event; such as attempted suicide, drug addiction and years of struggle with depression. When a person who has committed Suicide crosses in

Stories of Spirit…Briga she Becomes [A journey to the Spirit World part 2]

As I sit here writing this with Briga/Barbara by my side I can see her look…apparently she wants me to get it right. A few months went by before I next saw my friend; I had grandchildren to welcome into the world (one in October, one in November) & the business of the holidays to attend to. I next visited in January, first at a gathering of Druids at Briga’s home, second at the end of the month for private time & deep conversation. By the second visit, it was obvious to the

Stories of Spirit…Honoring Briga [A Journey to the Spirit World/part 1]

I will be telling Briga’s tale over the week in this 3 part series ‘A Journey to the Spirit World’. My original decision to tell Briga’s Story of Spirit was at her request, as is this retelling 2 years from her death. I was not surprised when she poked at me earlier this week, insisting that I retell her story, and that it was important. I had been expecting it, as I had been interviewed earlier this year, by a woman doing her dissertation for her Doctorate on the Patient C

Stories of Spirit…Spirits in the House [part 3/Safety First]

The first questions is by far the most important. “Are there any teenagers or someone with a mental illness living in your home?” I am sure you have noticed that I have compared teenagers to people with mental illness, this is intentional. That’s because in both cases there is often a feeling of frustration around communication and the ability to express oneself properly, as well as the feeling of not being understood & a high level of emotional stress. Under these circum

Stories of Spirit…No Time for Goodbye [seeking closure]

Recently I worked with a family who had experienced sudden death this year. Shortly before the family arrived at my cottage the Spirit in question showed up to remind me to have tissue handy. When I opened the door-I noticed the woman I recognized to be his wife was carrying a baby in a car seat. My heart sank as for a moment my mind ran an emotional scenario of the difficulty of her position. I spent the next 2 hours communicating with the Spirit of the young husband/fa

Stories of Spirit…A Time of Mourning [Adjusting to Death]

As a Medium I am in close contact with the Spirits of the Dead and the Families that deeply miss them. One of the common things families talk about is the awkwardness Death creates around them. People do not know how to approach them. It’s like death creates a bubble around the people who are Mourning, a space in which no one wants to approach. Family and friends often stay away, or act as if nothing has happened at all. This is particularly true if there is any controve

Stories of Spirit…Death is my Friend [my relationship with Death]

Death is a Spiritual force all it’s own. In many cultures Death is actually depicted as a Spiritual Being that holds the job of crossing Souls from the Living to the world of the Dead. Death comes to some of us slowly & for others it shows up unexpectedly. But when it comes there is no negotiating…if it’s time, it’s time. I believe the important part about Death is that it is a great healer. When facing the Death of someone we care for we are forced to look deeply at our

Stories of Spirit…Heartache, Healing & Reincarnation [A Soul Reborn]

The story I tell today is one that truly touched my heart. It has been a complex one of heartache, healing & reincarnation. I was first introduced to the Spirit of *James (not his real name) when his mother came to one of my Seances. He had passed away unexpectedly, under controversial circumstances. Not only was his death unresolved, there had also been a lot of heavy feelings between him and the family who loved him. He had lived his life on the edge and had a lot of

Stories of Spirit…Telephone Messages from the Dead

I find that Spirits are like the Living are clever and soon find a way around the obstacles put in front of them. And so the Story goes- I had just finished doing a Seance for a group of people when one of them asked me “How do Spirits get you to communicate with their Living?” My answer was simple “They need to convince their Living to call me”. I am a firm believer that we all sense the Spirits of the ones we love, even if we do not understand it & that with enough energ

Stories of Spirit…Dogs smell the Dead [Animals ability to sense Spirits]

Kate the Loved-our family dog-now in Spirit We all know that Dogs have an amazing sense of smell, but what most people don’t realize is this includes the ability to smell the Spirits of their Beloved Dead. When I go to peoples houses for a Seance I can usually tell when walking in the door if the Spirit I have come to communicate with belonged to the Dog of the house. Notice I said if they Spirit belonged to the Dog. I say this because dogs have their own view on the relat

Stories of Spirit…Bring the Flag [my Father’s passing]

*photo Stahr Cabral My Father new he was going to die…His body was beaten from heavy mileage. He often would say he was had been living on borrowed time, as he had been blown up by a grenade in Vietnam. His injuries had left him 100% disabled; missing his left eye with shrapnel in his brain. He was a wild man, a man who lived life with gusto. I believe this in part due to the fact that he knew he had cheated death when he was still a very young man. He was not afraid of

Stories of Spirit…Meeting Biddy Early, the Witch of Ireland

A few years ago I went to Ireland. It was a pilgrimage of sorts, as I was the first person in my family to return to the home country on either side of my family. That part hit me as soon as the plane landed in Shannon…I was suddenly filled with overwhelming emotion, as if all of my Ancestors who had walked before me gave a sudden sigh of relief, like returning home after a long trip…For our soul remembers our blood and the land of our Ancestors. I was in Ireland for 17 da

Stories of Spirit…Beloved Dead-why the stay connected

Driving along I hear him say “At least you got a good Rig for the roads”. Which is true, I drive a jeep as my job takes me on many of back roads. It was quiet for a bit and then I started wondering what made certain Spirits come back more then others for communication. Sure enough he couldn’t miss the opportunity to share his thoughts on the subject. “Contact” he said “I am not ready to give up contact with the ones I love who need me”. I had to laugh because just as he

Stories of Spirit…Songs on the Radio

Ted died when he was in his 40’s. He never married, never had kids and somehow that seemed right. I know as a kid I never imagined Ted actually getting old, and doing real adult things. When he passed I got the job of putting together a picture memory board of his life. I was handed a large stack of pictures and said to put it together somehow. A lot of the people I didn’t even know, as my Uncle had been in a local Motorcycle club. (This is Northern New England, so Moto

Stories of Spirit…catching a ride

One day I was going to do a Seance in Central VT. I put the address in my GPS and headed out, not thinking about where I was going and who I was going to encounter. About 1/2 hour from my destination a familiar Spirit took a seat in my car. It was the Spirit of a teenage boy I had encountered a few times before, first at his Aunts house and the 2nd @ his parents house. As I got closer to my destination it looked familiar and I was pretty sure I was going to his parents ho

Stories from Spirit…Guides & Friends

Spirit Guides are the Spirits of Loved Ones and Ancestors who have made an agreement to work with us in Spirit. We all have Spirit Guides & one in particular who works with us for life, this is our Main Guide. Our Main Guide is what I like to refer to as “Big Business”. They are the ones who check in and poke us when we need to pay attention. I personally believe in reincarnation and believe that we make arrangement with our main Spirit Guide before being born.

Stories of Spirit…Psychic Amnesia

I am a multi sensory Medium, which means Spirits can communicate with me through multiple means. I see, smell, hear, and feel spirit as well as receive messages directly in my mind like a form of telepathy. How a Spirit chooses to communicate has more to do with the individual Spirit then it does with me. Some Spirits talk directly to me, which allows me to repeat things they are saying verbatim. Others show me images, kind of like watching a slide show of their life. M
