Introduction to Mediumship
The Artystik Mystik will help you identify your intuitive strengths and communicate with your loved ones who have transitioned into Spirit. During Samhain, the time of endings and new beginnings, the connection or the Veil between worlds is thin, making it easier for our energies to meet. This session is more about your communication with your loved ones, however, if messages come through me I will pass them on.
