Be the Magician – Merlin magic

I’ve talked before how fiction can influence our lives – both in terms of our spiritual journeys and in helping us succeed by providing us with insights into how characters we relate to, coped with similar issues. There is power and magic contained in books that can inspire and teach us about the world we live in – even in fictional stories, as best-selling author T.A Barron has discovered.

Barron is the author of the immensely popular 12 book Merlin saga series which is aimed at children and young adults. However, it’s been discovered that Merlin’s influence goes far beyond this readership, and now in response to this Barron is bringing back Merlin to work his magic for anyone seeking answers to questions they may have whenever they are experiencing a shift or big change in their lives. ‘I have written so many books about Merlin that sometimes, I feel like I’ve actually met the great wizard and who knows, maybe I have’ Barron said in one of his YouTube videos. ‘If I met Merlin in his crystal cave, I’d ask him What is the meaning of life? And if there is any meaning, how can I find it?’

These thoughts led to Barron giving a celebrated speech on this subject at Oxford University in 2013 which in turn inspired him to write a new book – The Wisdom of Merlin: & Magical Words for a Meaningful Life.

In the book and writing in the voice of Merlin, Barron explains how each one of us can discover and travel along our own unique life path. Through Merlin he revals how magic surrounds and lives with each and every one of us – we just have to be willing to seek it out. According to Barron – and Merlin (!), there are seven magical words that hold the key to leading a meaningful and magical life, plus one more that like the one Ring in the Lord of the Rings saga, empowers them all. To those of us already on the journey towards our soul purpose, many of the words will be a familiar part of our spiritual practice while others may surprise you.

Gratitude: Being grateful helps us appreciate all the good things in our lives. The more we notice what we have to be grateful for – be it the people in our lives, a place, a beautiful day or a smile from a stranger. As we do this we become aware of the opportunities around us that we may have been blind to before.


Courage: Life takes on a new meaning when we take action. This often means leaving our comfort zone which in turn takes courage. We have to earn our soul path and in doing so we discover what we’re truly capable of. Don’t stand still, summon the magic of courage and don’t be afraid to go look for your life.


Knowledge: We should always strive to learn more and come from a place of humility where we acknowledge that we may not know it all after all! We have the entire universe to explore – the one outside of ourselves and the one inside. Both are places of limitless possibilities and magic. Make a cradle-to-grave commitment to continuous learning and open yourself to wonder.


Belief: To follow your beliefs, whatever they are, is to swim in a spiritual ocean. The more you seek a higher awareness, the more meaningful your life will become. Also, understand that belief can be very personal and one person’s experience of God and/or the universe can be different to another’s but both can be equally valid and equally spiritual.


Wonder: Wonder is the place that borders knowledge. We can approach the world with a sense of wonder and this can in turn stimulate the desire to know more about it – which is turn creates more wonder! Never lose the ability to look at the world through the eyes of a child who finds wonder in every thing! Wonder opens the door to our imagination which in turn leads to increased creativity, awareness and appreciation of our life here on earth.


Generosity: Generosity is not about giving others what they want – yes, it can be but it is more about you giving away what you yourself want. It’s not about the gift it’s about the sharing of you and whatever you give being wrapped in that invisible and magical element of the heartfelt desire to share. Generosity requires empathy. You can afford to be generous no matter what you circumstances – even if it’s just with your time.


Hope: Hope requires that we tap into that resource of courage I mentioned earlier. Don’t erode hope by becoming cynical which can be all too easy if we are faced with disappointment. Cynicism says that things can never get better. Open your mind to fresh thinking and hope will follow.

And finally, one word to rule them all:

Love: If we want the love of another person we first have to explore deep within ourselves – that magical inner universe that so often we are encouraged to ignore as we are told it is ‘selfish’, ‘self-obsessing’ or even ‘narcissistic’. The opposite is true. When we go deep within we come to a better understanding of what others need form us and are in a position to give that unconditionally. That’s the magic about love. That and the fact that the more you give, the more you have to give! When we love we go deeper within ourselves – and expand further out than we ever dreamed possible/

Why not take this Merlin magic and apply it to your life. We are all magicians and the wisdom of this book and the Merlin myth, hands us that power.

How to get the best psychic reading ever.

Want to get the very best psychic reading? Let’s face it, we all do and there’s nothing like feeling that you and your psychic are really connecting. So how do you do that?

Come from a place of openness when you start your reading BUT also allow the psychic to tell you specific details of your situation without you telling them, then you can establish you have a real psychic connection. It’s easy when you want to know something to go straight into what’s bothering you but more powerful if the psychic tells you otherwise how will you know if they are psychic?

Finding the right psychic for you is imperative to get the very best psychic reading and any good psychic company will allow you to switch readers if your reader does not give you detailed information in the first five minutes. My psychics are happy for you to do this as they also want you to find the perfect fit and understand that each connection is unique. Once you find your ideal psychic you can get the most out of it.

All too often we can go into a reading with certain expectations – a classic example of this is when we are faced with a relationship breakdown and want a reconciliation. Of course, in this situation we are hoping that our reader will tell us that the person will come back to us – and then experience disappointment if we are told the reader does not see this happening.

As you probably know, our readers have to abide by a strong code of ethics and that includes telling the client honestly what they see – not what they think the client wants to hear. Think of it this way – wouldn’t you rather have a reading with someone who speaks their truth rather than someone who is in fact giving you false hope and distorting the truth?

How do we avoid these kinds of situations? Obviously the first way is to ensure that the person giving you the reading is operating from a place of integrity. But the second way is to ask the right questions.

Say you are in a position where you have experienced a break-up. Instead of phrasing your question ‘Is there going to be a reconciliation between me and so-and-so’ you could instead say  ‘I’m interested to know what’s coming up with my love life in the next six months or so’. This way you are not feeding the psychic information and can get a clear answer.

This sends out a totally different vibration to your reader and the universe. It may be that your reader then picks up on the fact your ex may return – or they may point out that you have gone through a break-up but someone new is coming through.

The same goes for any situation. Instead of asking if you are going to land that dream job you were just interviewed for – ask what is happening in your career over a specific time period and also understand that no matter how much we may want something to work out, the universe may want something better for us!

Another way to approach your reading for maximum benefit is to give it time. Often when we are in a crisis situation we can end up having reading after reading to reassure ourselves that the event we want IS still going to happen. For one thing, this won’t make things happen any faster and continually fixating on something usually has the opposite effect on the flow of energy that we want. It is only when we relax and let go that the energy flows.

We are all about empowering our clients – and that extends to not encouraging them to have too many readings, or becoming addicted to the readings themselves as this is counter productive. But bear in mind not every psychic or psychic company comes from that place of integrity so avoid psychics that encourage you to become dependant. A good psychic reading puts the power in your hands and helps you find the answers and to trust your own intuition.

Once you have had a reading (or even if you haven’t!) you can always use the articles, videos and free tarot readings on our site to help transform your life. There are well over 2000 articles on all sorts of topics from healing soul mate issues to psychic development. When we work with our own energy we are creating  a new future.

Psychic readings give you a snapshot of potential but the best use of them is to empower you so that you can take charge of your destiny and create your reality and break any patterns that are blocking you.

Your 20 Min Psychic Success Workout – Get psychic Fit

Looking to boost your intuition, psychic abilities, knowledge of the Tarot or even your creativity? Then it’s time to take your psychic fitness seriously. Just like you would schedule a workout at the gym, your yoga class or a time to go running, psychic fitness requires that you commit to a routine in order for you to receive the maximum benefit. Most of us lead extremely busy lives, so I’ve devised a program that can fit into the busiest schedules yet offer the maximum return for the effort you put in to it and all you need to do is set aside 20 minutes a day.

But, there’s one more crucial aspect to your psychic fitness program and that is to set an alarm to let you know when the 20 minutes are up. The purpose of this is to show you exactly how much you can achieve in that 20 minutes – especially if you believe that 20 minutes is not enough time so it’s not even worth you trying as you won’t get anything out of it!

Before you sit down you should have decided what it is you are hoping to achieve. Do you want to focus on increasing your intuition? Do you want to study a particular topic or just boost your creativity if you are stuck? Ensure you have whatever it is you need to hand before you begin – your Tarot cards if that is what you are studying, any books or reference materials, an object or picture, a pen and notebook or a sketch book  – obviously exactly what you need will be dictated by what it is you want to achieve.

You can light candles or incense or play ambient music if you like. When you are ready start your alarm and begin – whether it’s writing down your impressions of something or anything that comes into your head, meditating on an object or a Tarot card, reading a reference book – don’t look at the clock – immerse yourself completely in whatever it is you are doing and on nothing else.

When the alarm does go off, stop what you are doing immediately and take note of how much you have read, written, or just absorbed on a psychic level. Most people are amazed at how much can be achieved in 20 minutes.

As you progress with your process, you will find that you will in fact achieve more and more during the time period as the process accelerates. It’s similar to getting physically fit – as you get fitter you can run further or exercise more within the same period – well, psychic fitness is no different.

You’ll receive more insights, more inspiration and more confidence in your abilities the more you continue. If part of your process is writing then don’t forget to write the date when you start so you can keep a record of your progress. As you relax and go deeper into the process you’ll become more and more attuned to universal energy and be able to apply your skills to all areas of your life.

Just as your pay-off for committing to a physical fitness regimen is a healthier, fitter, better you, the pay off for your commitment to a psychic fitness program extends far beyond enhancing your psychic skills but aligns mind, body and spirit. Just 20 minutes a day can pay big soul dividends so start your workout today.

Secrets of the Archangels Revealed.

References to archangels – an angel of the highest rank, or beings similar to them, are common amongst many religions and are one of the beliefs in ‘higher’ beings that are shared by many of the world’s cultures and religions. So, we can say archangels (or the idea of them) are universal.

There are seven archangels – Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Raguel, Remiel and Saraquael although most of us are only familiar with Michael, Gabriel and Raphael as many religions have either omitted the other four or else don’t recognise them. The earlier reference to all seven archangels is from the Book of Enoch – a Jewish text which is thought to date back to 300 BC! So, we can say these angelic beings have always been with us.

The seven archangels are each associated with a day of the week – Monday: Gabriel, Tuesday: Raphael, Wednesday: Uriel, Thursday: Saraquael, Friday: Raguel, Saturday: Remiel and Sunday: Michael. So, we can say if you are having problems on a particular day of the week and need to call for angelic guidance, each day resonates with the energy of a particular angel.

Before the age of powerful telescopes, we thought that our solar system was comprised of the Sun and six other planets besides the Earth. This was because we could observe these planets with the naked eye – which is why astrology and astronomy were one and the same and both were ‘observable’ sciences based on the planetary movements.

So, it should therefore some as no surprised that each star sign has an angelic ruler! Of course, some signs share a ruler even when contemporary astrology has taken in our increased knowledge of the solar system. But the old rulerships still hold true today and astrology still works perfectly well even if we were to omit the planets we have discovered that are not visible to the naked eye. The new planets just give us greater depth and understanding of our evolutionary process. So, based on the old rulerships, here is your sign’s archangel guide:

Aries: Raphael

Taurus: Raguel

Gemini: Uriel

Cancer: Gabriel

Leo: Michael

Virgo: Uriel

Libra: Raguel

Scorpio: Raphael

Sagittarius: Saraquael

Capricorn: Remiel

Aquarius: Remiel

Pisces: Saraquael

Many ancient esoteric traditions hold that the Tarot was in fact handed down to us by the Archangles and many decks especially the Rider-Waite and those handed down to us by the Golden Dawn, contain angelic symbols if we look carefully.

If you are studying the Tarot then this is one way you can in fact access angelic wisdom. The most obvious card is of course, Temperance which many believe depicts Saraqueal due to the card’s association with Sagittarius.

Look at your own deck and see what you can discover. One card with angelic messages whose higher meaning often escapes our notice is The World card. Traditionally this card is linked to the planet Saturn as Saturn represents worldly boundaries and in decks such as Rider-Waite, the central figure is enclosed in a wreath representing this. If you look at the card, you will see four images in each of the corners – top left a face, top right a bird or eagle, bottom left a bull (easily recognisable as Taurus) and bottom right a lion – Leo.

Taurus and Leo are fixed signs – fixed Earth and Sun. The other two fixed signs are of course Scorpio and Aquarius. The ancient symbol for Scorpio is the phoenix (hence, the bird is not an eagle but is this symbol of resurrection and of course, Scorpio rules rebirth) and the face represents Aquarius, the water bearer.

Taurus is ruled by Venus, Leo the Sun, Scorpio’s ancient ruler is Mars and Aquarius’s is Saturn. The four figures therefore represent four archangels – Raguel, Michael, Raphael and Remiel – and it is these fixed signs of the zodiac that mark the boundaries and also the building blocks of our lives.

See how you can work this knowledge into your every day life, add additional insight when reading your astrological forecast and enhance your Tarot readings. The secrets of the Archangels are all about us – if we just look for them!

Reboot your chakras with crystals

Blocked chakras can cause us all kinds of problems which we may not even be aware of – until we discover ourselves out-of-alignment with our bodies, our thoughts or a key area of our lives.

One of the easiest ways to clear and balance your chakras is with crystals. Each crystal used gives the corresponding chakra a vibrational boost but doesn’t alter its energy. Working together, they can restore the overall harmony of your entire system.

Your intuition and creativity can receive a boost, what is more, everything in the universe is energy and vibrates to a certain frequency. By restoring your ‘frequency’ you open yourself up to the flow of universal abundance and synchronicity once again.

You will need a total of eight crystals to do this. One corresponding to the colour of each of your chakras as well as a tourmaline of any colour to ground you.

Some New Age shops and sites sell chakra balancing crystal sets but the most effective, enjoyable and also usually cost-effective way I have found is to actually go to the shop and choose your crystals yourself.

Most New Age stores sell small crystals very cheaply. Aside from a tourmaline, you are not looking for specific stones for each chakra but should be guided by the stones colour and the energy it emits. If you resonate with the crystal – that is the right one to choose.

Here is your guide:

Crown Chakra – clear crystal or else violet/purple

Brow or Third-Eye Chakra: Deep blue or indigo

Throat Chakra: Turquoise or light blue

Heart Chakra: Any green crystal or stone

Solar Plexis: Yellow crystals or stones

Sacral Chakra: Orange or amber

Root Chakra: Red or black

Chakras

As always with any meditation or ritual, turn off your phone and ensure you will not be disturbed. If you like for this meditation, you can light candles or incense and play some ambient music if you wish.

Lie down on the floor and have your crystals next to you. Place your violet of clear crystal just above the top of your head, your deep blue one on your brow, the lighter blue one on your throat and so on. With the stone for the Root chakra place this between your legs as close to the base of the spine as you can get it.

Place your tourmaline between your feet – you may want to place the tourmaline and Root chakra crystals first. Once you have done this, close your eyes and imagine kundalini or life force energy flowing from your base chakra on up through the system until it exits the Crown stone. Then imagine it entering via the Crown and flowing downwards again.

Does it feel as if the energy is blocked anywhere? Do you feel any tension or resistance in any chakras? This can range from a feeling like water being stuck in a blocked drain to emotions such as anxiety or tension. If anything like this comes up it’s a sign the chakra is blocked. If this happens imagine the colour of the stone and your chakra. Imagine this colour literally ‘washing’ through the chakra taking away any blockages or negativity until it flows cleanly once more.

You might then want to ‘flush’ your entire system by imagining the colour of this chakra flowing through the rest of them and then out through the crown one. At this point the energy should flow smoothly once more. You can repeat this stage with any other chakras you find blocked.

After you have finished, remember to ‘cleanse’ your crystals by placing them in a bowl of water and sea salt. Leaving them out under the light of a full Moon is another effective way of cleansing them.

When you have finishing this, wrap them in silk and store them away for the next time as you can repeat this process whenever you feel the need. Many people make crystal chakra re-balancing a regular part of their psychic wellbeing practice.

Enjoy being part of the universal flow and enjoy using your crystals. They contain all the power of the Earth which in turn contains all the universal energy and wisdom we need.

Change Your Life in Five Weeks! Week Four: Feel it!

Hello there fearless life-changers and welcome to week four of our Change Your Life in Five Weeks program.

By now you should all be experiencing inner shifts and some of you may also be seeing the effects of this reflected in your outer world.

How does that make you feel because your feelings are what we are going to concentrate on in Week Four.

For those of you who have landed on this page without having first completed steps 1 -3, please go back and work through them.

I have designed the program so that it builds gradually on each step so please don’t be tempted to skip one as this can result in you not being able to get the long term results you are after.

It’s all about making permanent changes for the better in your life and living up to your full potential. Above all, it’s about preparing you to make your dreams a reality which is really what is at the heart of step four. Ready for the next stage? Then let’s go!

Week Four: Don’t Just Dream It – Feel It!

Nobody doubts that visualisation is the key to any transformational process. But it’s not just sufficient to visualise yourself in that new job or opening the door to your new home.

Our feelings play a huge part in this and are the magic ingredient when it comes to telling ourselves and the universe that we are ready to receive abundance and positive change.

Make a list of your goals – these can be anything from just being more confident to attracting that ideal relationship. The next time to start your visualisation process as you work through your goals, take time to tap into how you are going to feel when you have accomplished them.

What emotions come up for you? Hold onto these feelings as you immerse yourself in the process. Breathe into the feelings of success, happiness, love, triumph, elation – whatever emotions attaining your goal evokes.

Notice how as a result your visualisation just appears to come alive – they seem brighter, sharper and more real.

That’s the power of adding your emotions to the process. From now on, continue to add emotional content to your visualisation techniques and watch how it super-charges the process as amazing synchronicities start to happen.

Even if you don’t have time to stop and visualise as you go through your day you can call up the feelings at any time. So watch how people and the universe reacts to this new, positive vibe you are radiating whenever you do.
