When a client books a spirit guide or ancestral reading I begin by requesting the first name of the ancestor, and only the first name. It is very important that I not know any other information beforehand because this can get in the way of providing a full and detailed reading.
I make a connection clairvoyantly (clear seeing), and sometimes through smell, feeling, and hearing. Sometimes I will feel any ailments the ancestor suffered or the way in which they died, ie. a pain in my head, or a shortness of breath.
Ancestors will appear to me in different stages of their previous life, so that I can gather what is called 'evidence' which will prove, without a doubt that they are indeed the correct beloved ancestor. I usually will sense where they lived, personal habits, who they loved, favorite activities, etc.
I may also pull a card from my own hand painted oracle decks and request more information and often the ancestor will come through loud and clear as though they are speaking directly to me and my client. To finish the ancestral divination reading, I request a message for my client, from their ancestor and this is often very touching and heartfelt.
If I do not connect with a client's ancestor the first time around, I am always willing to try again (free of charge) or provide a spirit guide reading. A few theories about why an ancestor does not come through is that they may not be interested in doing so with a particular medium because they may not resonate with him/her. Sometimes an ancestor is occupied with something else or feels it’s best not to come forward at this time. Perhaps this particular ancestor was a very reserved, quiet person when alive and is reluctant to come forward now.
Afterward, I discuss the mediumship reading with the client by email to find out how it is resonating with them and to provide more clarity if needed. This also helps me become a better psychic-medium in the process!
Currently this is the only psychic reading I offer that is done via writing. I find that the ancestors prefer it that way. They apparently like that I sit quietly and patiently with pen and paper at hand and write down everything that happens. Afterwards I will type up the psychic medium reading on my computer and include any oracle cards pulled.

An Ancestral Reading for .... by Kathy Crabbe
This reading is in response to your wish for a connection with B...
- My very first impression of B... is round, warm, friendly and kind.
- I also see a black horse and hear the words, “bonny black.”
- I see 4 kids, lots of kids!
- She was a good mother and I see her tending them all.
- I can see a military man and I see her waving goodbye to him.
- I also see her managing, and steadfast.
- Now I see 3 kids, not 4.
- The color mint green also comes up.
- England is mentioned, along with the phrase, “eventually” and “make things happen.”
- She is taking charge.
- I don’t see her husband around, but she is doing her best.
- I see her wizened and grey at one point, and with young kids. She is being hard on herself because of this.
- I also feel that she has developed a pain behind her eyes and that she is not able to ‘get a grip’ on things and that when she passed, it was a relief for her.
- I ask her about you and she says the words, “nearest and dearest,” although she may not have expressed that to you physically. Initially I sensed that she was ‘warm’ but as the reading develops I feel that she was not able to express that warmth so easily.
- She is also saying that you are, “The one I can count on.”
- I see you and a horse and she is pushing some strands of long hair back from your face and saying to you, “there are no answers gel (‘gel’ is what ‘girl’ sounds like)…just good questions.”
- I see her holding up your palm and tracing the lines.
- She is asking you, “Why do you want this job?” and she points to your chest, your heart, and pokes you there (kind of a hard poke) and says, “Do you feel it here?”
- She is trying to awaken you, make you mad, and make you think.
- She also instructs me to pull an oracle card for you so I pull one from my Celtic Tree Wisdom deck and it is called the Rowan card.
The Rowan card represents the second lunar month, the “Moon of Vision.” It is a powerful tree of magic, also known as the Tree of Life. This is an oracular Moon symbolizing the rebirthing of the year. You are still asleep and dreaming, not quite ready to set your energies to growth.This Moon is dedicated to the goddesses Eleu, Diarmuid and Iris.
**When I emailed my client to find out if she would allow me to post this reading she kindly gave me her permission and she also asked me to post this comment along with her reading:
"I was nervous about opening my ancestor reading, unsure of what to expect. So many of the things resonated with me, that I knew it was something to be treasured. I was really hoping for a connection with my mother and I feel you made one. Your gift is extraordinary."
