S3 E5: Astrology with Kramer Wetzel

S3 E5: Astrology with Kramer Wetzel

It's a special full moon episode! One of our planet's most literate and joyful astrologers is Kramer Wetzel of astrofish.net. He's been writing a weekly astrological column online since the mid-90s and joins me to talk about what's going on currently, how to get the most out of your weekly reading, and dishes out a bit of intel on yours truly. Listen in on our playdate conversation and check out Kramer's readings on his website, one of the longest, continuously running site of its kind!

Follow me on Instagram @clair.circles.spirit.art and on Twitter @NaturalMedium. 

About Kramer Wetzel:

Born and raised in a little town in East Texas, attending schools in Texas and New Mexico, with college and university degrees earned in Arizona, Kramer Wetzel considers himself a typical Sagittarius. He is an ordained minister, Honorary Doctorate, Certified Psychic, and holds horary cross-training in Tarot, Runes, and Tea Leaf Reading.

With an eye for the absurd, an ear for Texas dialect, both honed in a trailer park in South Austin—before trailer parks in South Austin were cool—his primary love is the written word, with the Western-styled horoscope his most popular format.

First published in 1987, online since 1993, these horoscopes are popular, as well as one of the longest, continuously running of its kind. From global travel to a love of Shakespeare’s canon, to bass fishing around Austin, and bay fishing along the Texas Gulf Coast, Bubba said it best, “Kramer is a Zen Koan wrapped in a Hawaiian shirt and sandals.” Sometimes, Kramer thinks he was Shakespeare in a past life.

Currently, he lives on the north side of San Antonio, TX.

Fresh horoscopes are available online, books and back-catalog are available from Amazon, or wherever books are sold.

Personal consultations available via the website. Prefer in person? Appearances are listed at astrofish.net/travel with the most current dates.

Greetings, I am Kristi Sanders, my work is called Lumina Codes, Light Code technology photography from the sun. I create Solar Art.

I capture invisible consciousness and spectrums in sunlight. Beautifully evocative patterns of color and geometries, the intelligence inherent in light, the energies which sustain us. Each image offers frequencies or energetic messages which influence, consciously and subconsciously, the energy fields of the observer, as well as the environments in which they are displayed. All are uplifting, joyful and empowering, as the beauty of the consciousness of that which sustains through the Living Light.

I offer canvas and metal plate prints, as well as archival quality paper and custom prints. Many are creating collections of this inspiring work, for home and sacred spaces, inspirational work environments and they are uniquely uplifting and memorable gifts. I have collaborated to create collections for instalments in creative spaces. My public platform is currently found on Facebook as Lumina Codes. All beautiful images on Lumina Codes are available for purchase via private message.

With loving kindness and blessings, for the well-being of all, and gratitude for the infinite abundance available for all.

S2 E6: Is Time Real? with Philosopher Jenny Beal

S2 E6: Is Time Real? with Philosopher Jenny Beal

Do we really experience linear time? How do our perceptions affect our experience? Join me and Jenny Beal for the most philosophical playdate yet as we discuss the concept of time. Keep an open mind and hopefully, we’ll give you something cool to consider!

If you’re interested in learning more, I’ve included links to the videos we mention during our conversation with Rupert Spira and quantum physicist Shantena Augusto Sabbadini and the Invisible Gorilla experiment on perception.

More about Jenny Beal:

Jenny Beal’s interest in spiritual matters started with a fascination with infinity through her study of mathematics. She went on to study the Fourth Way teaching of the Russian philosopher, P D Ouspensky, and the Advaita Vedanta teaching of Shankaracharya Shantanand Saraswati. After several decades of study and practice, she started teaching a combined and updated version of these teachings. But despite frequent and sustained periods of causeless happiness and a sense of oneness, she felt there was still something missing. Finally, she found what she had always been looking for through the Direct Path teaching of Rupert Spira, and his teacher, Francis Lucille. She loves sharing her understanding of this teaching and discussing its application in everyday life with like-minded friends.

S2 E4: Mediumship Circles with Fredrik Haglund

Lockdown is a great time to develop mediumship! Swedish Medium Fredrik Haglund shares his development journey, including a near-death experience, and now leads a series of mediumship development circles online. After I take his first two-hour circle, we meet up again to chat about how it unfolded. Especially if you're a beginner, you'll find Fredrik's style to be warm and encouraging, and if you're at an intermediate level, you'll find many like-minded and experienced new faces to practice with at one of these circles. Our playdate ends with Fredrik's interpretation of a symbol I received in meditation.

More about Fredrik:

I became aware of my spiritual abilities when I was a child, and it wasn’t until later in life that I understood what it was. As I look back through my life I can see the spirit world has always been close and working with me.

My wake up call was when I was in a serious car accident in my 30s that changed my life and guided me into my spiritual journey. On this journey, I learned about psychic abilities combined with inner wisdom and knowledge.

Today I'm a strong believer that everybody can access their spiritual abilities and use this knowledge in their daily life to develop their spiritual understanding.

I am a certificate holder of the Spiritualist National Union (CSNU) in Demonstrating and Speaking.
I have studied under wonderful mentors such as Tony Stockwell, Gordon Smith, and Paul Jacobs. who have helped me to see the bigger picture and how to build the bridge between the two worlds. I have also been fortunate to run development groups at the Arthur Conan Doyle Centre in Edinburgh for the last three years. Click

It has always been my pleasure to share my knowledge of Mediumship and Healing and also help people in their spiritual development in person or online.

More about Gail Fairfield:

Gail Fairfield, born in China and raised in Japan, grew up with a deep sense of spiritual connectedness that wasn’t particularly religious.  In the 1970s, she embarked on an intensive self- and psychic-development quest that has never ended.  In addition to developing her own intuition, she specifically studied Tarot and Astrology, becoming an internationally acknowledged expert in both fields.  Her first book, “Choice Centered Tarot” (renamed “Every Day Tarot”) was published in 1980, followed by “Choice Centered Astrology” in 1990 and “Choice Centered Relating and the Tarot” in 2000.  As is clear from these titles, Gail was a foremother of the movement toward utilizing psychic tools and insights, not as processes for finding fate-oriented predictions but instead as resources for self-empowerment and insightful decision-making.  Gail makes her home in Bloomington, Indiana and is available for appointments through www.gailfairfield.com.

Dr. Scott Sparrow is a full Professor in the Counseling Department at the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley and a charter faculty member of Atlantic University in Virginia Beach. He is a past President and Board Chair of the International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD). 

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Board Certified LPC-Supervisor in Texas, and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Virginia, Scott has maintained a solo private practice in professional counseling since 1982, and currently practices in McAllen, Texas.

More about Yamile: 

Yamile Yemoonyah is a professional spirit guide medium, author of The Seven Types of Spirit Guide, host of the Spirit Guide Show, and founder of Spirit Guide Society. Through her show, courses, newsletter, and one-on-one client interactions, Yemoonyah engages with tens of thousands of people annually in her work to help others understand and connect with their spirit guides.

The very first time her spirit guide physically appeared in her bedroom in October 2000, she was left with no choice but to start believing in a reality that isn’t acknowledged by western science. Ever since, assisted by her own spirit guides, she has been on a mission to learn as much about the unseen dimensions of the universe as possible, especially the myriad forms of conscious beings that inhabit it and their relationship with shamans, mediums, priests, and everyday people worldwide and throughout human history.

Now, she uses her gift of spirit communication to help others connect with their own spirit guides by giving readings and teachings. Her main goal is to assist lightworkers and spirit workers who want to make this world a more inclusive, egalitarian, and compassionate place by teaching them how to connect and communicate with their own personal spirit guides. She lives in London in the UK.

Episode 21: Quarantined Tarot Reading & Artist Exchange with Lisa Rawlinson

Episode 21: Quarantined Tarot Reading & Artist Exchange with Lisa Rawlinson

Wouldn't it be cool to open your mailbox to find an original work of art sent just for you? Lisa Rawlinson's Quarantined Artist Postcard Exchange and her tarot reading-slash-Reiki-imbued-painting are the focal points of today's episode. Lisa pulls four psychedelically themed cards for the collective and I know you'll find them intriguing. Check out Lisa's artwork on my Facebook and IG pages, links are below!

https://www.facebook.com/melaniealbertsmedium

https://www.instagram.com/clair.circles.spirit.art/

Email me: melanie@melaniealbertsmedium.com

The quote Lisa paraphrased is “Think like a wise man but communicate in the language of the people.” ~William Butler Yeats

About Lisa Rawlinson in her own words:

I’m interested in digging in and understanding the world and reality using the act of creating as a means to spur learning, to focus and direct energy, and to investigate the human element and my personal connection to the world and our constantly shifting understanding of it. My translation of these things into a physical work of art or a piece of writing is at once intuitive, conceptual, and visceral. These are inseparable for me. Everything I create reflects the on-going evolution of my personal internal and external exploration; I do not consider my work to be defined by medium, technique, or even at times, style.

Informed by my previous career designing educational materials, the card readings I do for myself, and others—as well as wherever my curiosity and experience take me—I work primarily in water-based painting. Writing is also a key component and at times intersects with visual art.

I received my BFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of North Texas in 1995 and was a founding member of Good/Bad Art Collective in Denton, Texas where I remained active until I ultimately choose to pursue my publishing career. In 2016 I "accidentally" began making art again and have since made a deliberate choice to focus my creativity on my own work, which exists both within and outside of the traditional art world. I am also a Reiki Master-Teacher and have a practice that merges card-reading, Reiki, painting, and poetry through my business website Open Window Meditations. While these exist in a different sphere, I consider them to be a vital part of my artistic practice and expression.

Episode 18: Mind over Matter with Virginia Cattrano

Episode 18: Mind over Matter with Virginia Cattrano

PK is indeed pretty kewl. In today's show, Virginia Cattrano tells some fascinating stories and demonstrates to me how through the power of my mind, I can move matter at a distance. How this is done has fascinated me for years, ever since I levitated, tipped tables, and caused my cell phone to shut down during moments of intense focus. What's going on here? Let's find out and maybe learn how to bend a spoon or two.

More about Virginia: 

Virginia Cattrano was born and raised in the Republic of Singapore and immigrated to the United States as a teenager. Six years ago, Virginia discovered her psychic abilities and began wondering about who she was and how her “knowing” developed. Virginia’s studies have taken her to many teachers for training, including studying platform mediumship with Mavis Pitilla, John Holland, Suzanne Giesemann, and Janet Nohavec.

In 2019 Virginia’s quest for knowledge brought her to the Rhine Center in Durham, North Carolina. There she learned remote viewing and psychokinesis. She’s passionate about paranormal phenomena—how the unseen unfolds—and working with animals. Virginia and her career law-enforcement husband have been married for over 25 years. They live in South Carolina with their two children, three Jack Russells, one tiny chihuahua, and an African grey bird.

Episode 17: The Reincarnation Principle with Cody Blair

Episode 17: The Reincarnation Principle with Cody Blair

September's new moon episode begins with an introduction to a democratic Spiritualist association and concludes with a past-life reading back to a barbaric time. If you're squeamish, you may want to skip to the end. I feel it's important to include the gory scene Cory describes because it relates to a personal injury I sustained in this lifetime. I hope you find this episode as fascinating as I did.

Darren Brittain Biography

Since 1991 Darren has demonstrated his mediumship in Spiritualist churches, public halls, and theatres. His gift has taken him to all counties in the UK as well as to Portugal, Spain, Gibraltar, Norway, Finland, Switzerland, Germany and Canada, and America as well as offers of work from Denmark and Australia. He has written for and been featured in several well-respected esoteric publications including Two Worlds and Psychic News, and in the last few of years has turned down three offers of work on high profile TV programs, feeling that his work would be seen as purely entertainment and not for its true meaning.

He is able to convey messages from the other side; often with such accuracy, there is no doubt that a world exists after this one. His reputation for delivering names, dates, street names, and personal information to identify loved ones has earned him a reputation as a medium of high quality. As well as being able to convey messages from the Spirit World, he sees his work as much more than that. He has a desire to remind people through his own experiences of life, and through his connection to Spirit, that we are all Divine in origin and how we can attune to that source of love to help us to heal.

About Molly:

Molly Glenn counsels, writes, and speaks about the journey to wholeness in life. Her first book, Your Mighty Soul, helps connect readers more deeply with their own soul. And reveals what it can mean to live authentically in joy and freedom.

Molly’s own spiritual quest began in the 1980s when she studied the great mystics and sages of world religions. Along the way, a personal desire emerged: to use her intuitive and empathic skills in more disciplined and reliable ways. The Divine provides, and Molly continued her spiritual studies by taking Dowsing coursework from two masters in the field, Raymon Grace and Joey Korn. Dowsing is an ancient system using a pendulum or other tool for discerning information, making decisions, assisting healing, and even locating water underground.

For the past seven years, Molly has led a dedicated group of energy dowsers in Central Texas. In monthly meetings, she shares best practices from around the world. She also works with individual clients. Molly is an active member of the American Society of Dowsers and Ozark Research Institute.

Robynn Sheridan’s bio:

For the first twenty-five years of my life, I existed. I had no purpose, I had no passion or drive. I had been raised to believe that my only purpose in life was to get married, be faithful to my religion and have children.

I found myself with two small children, at the age of 20. Spending my days alone with no friends, no family, no support structure. I was suffering from postpartum depression and did not know it. The doctors back then put women on valium and told them to suck it up.

My life fell apart, my husband received full custody of our daughters, and I found myself on a journey of self discovery. I made a lot of mistakes, and by the time I was in my thirties I had discovered that I was a magnet for people with narcissistic tendencies.

It would take the next 25 years of soul searching, reading hundreds of books, taking numerous courses, to discover that I was an empath, intuitive healer, Oracle reader; I achieved Reiki Master Teacher status, numerous other courses and certificates in Holistic healing and have added Akashic Soul Practitioner to my skills.

During these 25 years I learned how to meditate, connect, and work with my spirit guides, the Angels, the Deva’s of Nature, and work with my Spiritual Advisors daily.

The tools I use with clients are meditation, oracle readings, Akashic Soul readings, Reiki Energy healing, Spiritual Mentoring, and a course I created with my Spirit Guides; called “Pathways to the Soul”.

The title given to me by my Spirit Guides: Spirit Whisperer of higher consciousness helping people connect to their heart, mind, body, and Soul.

More about Stan Slater:

For all practical purposes, Stan is an unlikely artist. He was a technical trainer for 17 years until he got hit with the economic readjustment in February 2009. People often have tried to put him in the “geek” box, he never quite fit. Instead, they would commonly call Stan an “artistic geek.”

Stan is a life-time musician (guitar player/vocalist) and an avid photographer. Combining his skills of technical perfection with a true appreciation of natural beauty, Stan found his passion for wood.

When Stan was eight he wandered into his grandfather’s woodworking garage. He was fascinated and he asked his parents if he could have the tools when his grandfather didn’t need them anymore. Unfortunately, the request by the eight-year-old wasn’t taken too seriously and Stan had to wait until he was a teenager and working in a lumber yard to be around the smell of fresh-cut wood again. To Stan, nothing smells better (except perhaps fine dark chocolate).

After the lumber yard, Stan started on his career path which somehow excluded wood completely. He found himself working with high tech tools instead of the small ones that turn wood. Stan was reminded of his passion shortly before he lost his job when he visited a relative who makes fine acoustic guitars and also does woodturning in his shop. He fell in love again with the art he had not witnessed since he was a child. This time he didn’t have to ask for the tools. He purchased his own and now enthusiastically engages his creative abilities on a daily basis.

It appears all things have fallen into perfect alignment and the “artistic” Stan finally has the time to create and pursue his aspiration to work with wood. HIs natural perfectionism and his photographic eye for detail allow him to see the uniqueness of the grain in each individual block of wood that he touches. Stan takes what nature has provided and expounds on its beauty.

Episode 003: Explore the Power of Play

Episode 003: Explore the Power of Play

In today's episode, I share my journey in becoming a psychic and spirit artist through the power of play. 

Part of learning to trust your intuition is to let yourself be vulnerable and surrender to the information you receive in the moment. As a little kid, I was allowed to have free rein and explore my surroundings by tuning into my inner world and trusting the information I received there. How about you? Did you have time to let your mind wander and gather information about your environment as you grew up? Now. do you allow yourself downtime to have such useful experiences? This episode gently reminds you that the power of play means tuning into your intuition and applying what you learn to your life.

In today’s playdate, psychic and spiritual medium Pam Berman visits and we exchange a one-card reading to learn a little more about each other. Here’s Pam’s story:
“I was diagnosed with a life-threatening genetic disease 13 years ago. Polyposis causes my body to form multiple polyps. I was terrified at first, but my diagnosis was the greatest blessing of my life as it was the catalyst for my spiritual awakening. I had always been a religious woman, but I had no experience of being truly spiritual. My illness was the doorway to my deep knowing that there was more to life than what we perceive with our physical senses.
I began going to an online spiritual site. There I met a woman who is a Reiki master and an amazing healer. She introduced me to healing and self-healing, and she told me that there is nothing that cannot be healed. My teacher told me that when our body has created something, no matter what the dis-ease or condition may be, our body can UN-create it as well. Remember this! I didn't believe my healing teacher then, as my understanding was that genetics cannot be altered. But she was right!
I began self-healing in 2008, every single day. I was scheduled to have a complete colectomy in March of 2009. Just before my surgery, my surgeon took a few minutes to look at my most recent scans. He came back to me and said-"I have good news for you. There are no polyps on the left side of your colon. So if it's ok with you, I will only remove the right side." I was overjoyed, and I decided to train first as a spiritual healer and then as a Reiki practitioner so that I could give back the healing I had so miraculously received. I am now a level 3 Usui Reiki Master.
I also explored mediumship and tarot card readings. I am blessed to now have a beautiful relationship with Spirit that is based on mutual love and trust. I have taken several mediumship courses over the years and attended workshops. I am so excited now to bring my clients the joy and healing that comes from being reunited with their loved ones in Spirit. My card readings provide guidance and insights that also lead to healing with understanding and clarity. Healing is the basis of all that I do!”

In today’s playdate, I meet with medium Paul Challenger who lives near Cardiff, Wales in the United Kingdom. At about age 21, Paul was introduced to Aikido and the concept of ki, “universal energy” and “mind over matter.” He began practicing yoga, learning about the chakras, and the power of spiritual healing.

Paul was an agnostic at age 35 when he had his first private reading with a medium. He writes that “the energy of my grandfather (who died in 1941) walked straight into my heart chakra and filled me with the most incredible feeling of love. The feeling was so overwhelming that I burst into tears, so the medium asked him to step back, he did so, and I stopped crying. I was converted to Spiritualism in that instant.”

In addition to unfolding his mediumship, Paul studied spiritual healing and has developed a style of healing using guided visualizations in addition to energy work. He is married to the medium and mentor Margaret Challenger who holds occasional mediumship workshops on www.snui.org.uk.

My Patreon account was created for supporters of this podcast. It’s brand new! To celebrate with gratitude, the first 11 monthly donors will be invited to an intimate, online mediumship/psychic art circle hosted by me. More perks to come!
