Wine snob ghost 'haunting pub'
A "wine snob" ghost is lurking in the cellar of a pub making its feelings known about the house wine, it has been claimed.
The ghost, named Corky by regulars at the Court Oak pub in Harborne, Birmingham, apparently has very strong opinions about the wine list.
The pub, part of the Sizzling chain, is built on land were gallows were situated in the 17thC, sparking speculation that Corky may be the ghost of someone who died there years ago.
Pub manager Anne Tyler said the ghost had given its opinion about the wine on offer every Halloween for the last few years.
She said smashed bottles of red and white house wine were discovered in the cellar until the selection was upgraded.
"People have spotted the figure of a man, aged about 60, behind the bar and the staff have felt his presence numerous times over the years.
"But it is Corky's insistence on certain wines that set him apart as a spirit.
"It only ever happens at this time of year when Halloween is in sight. If the pub has a house wine that is not to his liking, he makes his feelings known by smashing bottle after bottle of it in the cellar until it is changed for a wine he approves of.
"He's a bit of a wine snob, which is why he's been named Corky by customers."

Fun Zodiac Guide To Office Romance
Want to know which signs say they’re doing overtime but are really indulging in antics of a much more personal nature? Read on to find out which signs work their way to the top and which signs sleep their way there. Who knows, you could have been going to your colleague for work advice when they’ve been your soul mate all along!
Aries
The very person the ram tells you they do not get on with at work is the one who will get under their skin so much that they end up fantasising about them to the opposite extreme. Office parties bring out the animal in Aries and allow them to tease the competition. Not so good if the competition is invited though, as before you know it Aries will be giving all the firms secrets away over the unavoidable pillow talk. Word of warning - if you get involved with an Aries at work, don’t expect them to work as hard once they’ve impressed you. This is a sign that can become lazy and complacent once the challenge has been met. Remember to keep things alive if you want to ensure long term success.
Taurus
Look for the person who makes the business successful and Taurus won’t be far behind in their shadow. They may wear a sleek business suit but the females of this sign are also likely to have the hottest underwear on under it too. If you want a lady or gentlemen in public and the opposite in the bedroom then you’ve come to the right sign! Many famous Taureans in business find it helpful to work with their partners. Just look at Taureans former chat show hosts Richard and Judy. So this is actually an office romance that could have the making of a financial success story too.
Gemini
Now Gemini would make a great spy, just like Aries. The only difference is that Gemini would be a double agent. They’re not frightened of having fun in the workplace either so if you can’t get into the stock cupboard for your new ink cartridge then check for noises before you call for help, as there’s likely to be a Gemini and a high ranking official behind the door! Travel often brings opportunity in romance for Gemini as anything with a different feel to it turns them on and turns up the chances of a late night meeting turning into much, much more! Not surprising why most attached Geminis have to check in every hour when away from home!
Cancer
Drinks lead to disaster for dear old Cancer, which is why so many of them abstain from lunchtime drinks at business meetings when the rest of us are knocking back the free vino as if it’s going out of fashion. Quiet on first impression but powerful with the words they do eventually speak this is one sign who, when they do unleash their wild side, will let their imagination run wild. If the photo copier’s not working check the last sheet fed through, it could well have an imprint of a Cancerians behind on it if this sign has been allowed to indulge in a bit of personal overtime!
Leo
Born to lead in business the Leo will want to be dominated in the bedroom, or the office or the bathrooms or anywhere else they can get their chosen prey on their own. Bear in mind, if you do indulge in an affair with someone you work with of this sign they will think very little of going back to pure business soon afterwards. Sex can be just an act for this sign if there is no real mental attraction. Could make for some awkward future meetings at the coffee machine if you’re not careful!
Virgo
Whoever seals the deal can steal a Virgo’s heart. They don’t like time wasters or people who aren’t willing to pull their weight. They are such practical and hard working characters that you need to be aware that they are a different creature entirely when sex comes into question. They like to document their life though so careful their new screen saver doesn’t have a picture of your clinch upon it or you could end up red faced and looking in the job section within the week!
Libra
Peacemakers in work, this is always a sign that has plenty of admirers and is not afraid of flirting with anyone, anywhere. It’s in a Librans nature to want everyone to like them. The downfall of having a relationship with this sign at work is that everyone else around will think they’re the Libran’s favourite and so it is you not they who ends up out in the cold. Definitely one to keep quiet about if you want it to last and if you’re looking for marriage with this partner then one of you had better apply for a job elsewhere if you’re to see it past the honeymoon period!
Scorpio
It’s really hard to guess who Scorpio likes and if they are having an affair in the office then it’s likely you’ll guess every other name and face before you pick the right one. Known for their secretive nature and ability to play games they’ll find the idea of a relationship that has to be kept under wraps great fun, unless that is you choose to be the leading force in not acknowledging your liaison. In which case you can expect to find huge clues in the most embarrassing of places, which could prove embarrassing next time you reach for a pen from your bag and pull out their underwear!
Sagittarius
This is a loyal but flirtatious sign who doesn’t usually want to follow up the wry smiles and approving glances they offer. Business to the archer is far too important for them to allow such a thing as romance to get in the way. They don’t mess about where money is concerned either so keep both separate or fasten your seatbelt on what is certain to be, a bumpy ride! If they do mix business and pleasure then it won’t be with who you think either. Forget the hot young thing, its brains they want, so look to the old wise bird with the sparkle in their eye if you want to find out who’s turned their head!
Capricorn
This sign is a great teacher and so anyone who looks up to them will seem like the perfect candidate to steal their heart. Think new face on the block, think someone who needs to learn and Capricorn thinks “I can, I will show this person how wonderful I am”. This is the Capricorn boss who takes his secretaries job description to a whole new level and this is the employee who thinks that sleeping their way to the top is the easy way to make sure you can work and play at the same time!
Aquarius
Whoever can challenge an Aquarian’s mind in the workplace can work their way into their bed. Stand up to Aquarius if you want them to start hanging around after hours for you. It takes a while to get into their affections as this sign is a great game player. Leave little clues for them and show them how you can do your job better than your predecessor. Just beware of criticising them at theirs or you’ll be out in the cold quicker than you would think. One word of warning, this sign is hard work and you’ll have to keep up the game playing long after normality in the relationship kicks in, even if this means donning your work gear and taking down some personals long after the office has shut!
Pisces
Pisces loves the competition as they want to beat everyone and show how they are the best. The funny thing is, they don’t want you to be a pushover. They want to be given a run for their money. Lure a Pisces with talk of big plans but be prepared to have to give up your dreams or merge them with theirs once things get serious. A deeply committed sign once they fall in love but if things turn sour then their sinister side may emerge and you may as well resign immediately for that strange tasting coffee and missing paperwork is sure to have their finger-prints all over it if you don’t!

The Healing Powers of Trees
Sacred trees with healing powers are found in almost every culture and age. They are seen as a gift from the Earth Goddess and a source of her continuing healing of those who come to the tree or sacred grove.
In India sacred trees are visited by petitioners seeking blessings, especially for health and fertility, from the indwelling spirit or deity who is usually regarded as female and a manifestation of the Earth Goddess? Food and flowers are left at the foot of the tree or shrine and ribbons of cloth or coloured wish bags are tied to the tree.
In Africa among the Northern Sotho people, the sacred Marula tree is known as the marriage tree. A woman who wishes to conceive a boy will drink the infused bark of the male tree. In many parts of f Africa women still carry bark from sacred trees to make them fertile.
In the folk tradition of Europe until the beginning of the twentieth century, trees were likewise attributed magical healing powers. For example children were passed nine toes though the cleft in an ash tree and the branches then bound together as a symbol of the healing process.
The Celtic Druids worshipped not in temples, but in groves of trees. These natural woodland sites may have predated the Celts. Those that have been identified are frequently centred on a convergence of earth energies. In former Celtic groves in Wales, Brittany, Ireland and Cornwall the trees are still adorned with ribbons, trinkets and petitions for healing and blessings.
The Australian Aborigines used healing remedies from trees such as tea tree and eucalyptus centuries before they entered more conventional medicine Tea tree leaves were inhaled by the Aborigines to prevent nasal, throat and chest congestion and ground into a paste to relieve burns and skin infections.

Integrity at the Office: Does Your Sun Sign Make You Likely To Defend A Colleague?
A workmate has been unfairly treated. Will you keep quiet to protect your own position or leap to their defense?
Aries is competitive, and likes moving up the ladder. That said, they prefer to win after a fair fight. In matters of office politics, they’ll hesitate at first but then often speak the truth as they see it.
Taurus will keep their own counsel and wait to see which way the wind blows. They may offer behind-the-scenes support but are less likely to be proactive with public condemnation of the treatment of their colleague.
Gemini will be tricky to pin down if asked for support. They won’t be a hero at the office until they’re sure they won’t do themselves damage.
Cancer is pulled by their emotions and will feel inclined to back a coworker up. They’re ambitious as well, and could disappear into their shell until they see which way the tide is flowing.
Leo is straightforward and expects others to be the same, so they’ll be upset if a coworker is treated unfairly. But they aren’t natural activists and might pause before leaping in to defend.
Virgo won’t care about the effect on themselves and are likely to offer discreet support. They’ll also ensure quietly that whoever has been mishandling the situation is shown up.
Libra has a strong sense of justice and will be vocal in support of anyone who they feel has been mistreated. They’re keen that any environment in which they work is fairly run.
Scorpio will watch, listen, ponder and may seem to be inactive. But they will be waiting for the right time to make their move. They could go either way depending on past history.
Sagittarius will waste no time in discussing the unfairness of it all. They’ll be outraged by authority figures acting badly and will say so loud and clear.
Capricorn will see how the situation fits into their long-term career strategy. If they feel it will help gain them respect, they’ll speak out.
Aquarius is a natural rebel and not afraid of conflict, so they’ll insist that the situation be put right.
Pisces will offer the victim a private shoulder to lean on and be endlessly sympathetic. That said, they are less likely to be too upfront with their disapproval.

Boundaries: Protect Your Energy
Though it’s important to be there for those we love, sometimes others take advantage of our kindness. They’re often in need of help but may be unwilling to do the slightest thing to help themselves. Instead, they’d rather get other people to fix their problems for them. Learn how to avoid and disarm people who drain your energy.
Aries
Of all the signs, you’re the least likely to succumb to an energy vampire. You may feel tempted to be a hero by rescuing someone who’s playing the victim, but encourage them to rescue themselves instead.
Taurus
As one of the most grounded signs in the zodiac, you attract energy vampires who are constantly in crisis. You can minimize this by helping others create their own stability rather than being the one who creates stability for them.
Gemini
You tend to attract people who like to chit-chat, which can deplete your time and energy. Know when to stop a conversation that’s going nowhere and set limits on how much time you give to others.
Cancer
As the nurturing sign of the zodiac, you attract people who may take advantage of the amount of attention you’ll give them. Mother yourself first, keeping tabs on what you need, and then dole out support to others.
Leo
Your optimistic personality can attract those who tend to be down in the dumps. Do what you can for them, but as soon as you start feeling drained, surround yourself with people you can have fun with.
Virgo
You enjoy being of service to others, and may allow people to treat you like a doormat after a while. Learn to ask for an equal give-and-take, and stop providing help to those who don’t give back.
Libra
With your tendency to people-please, you may attract those with bullying personalities. Learn to say no to people who are constantly expecting you to give in -- and learn to please yourself!
Scorpio
You have a gift for helping people through difficult times, but for those who never seem to get better no matter how much emotional support you provide, be sure to direct them towards professionals.
Sagittarius
Your freedom-loving spirit is adept at moving away from people who need constant help, but you can get trapped by people who depend on you for excitement. Challenge them to come up with interesting activities for you both to participate in.
Capricorn
Tired of being the responsible one? Set boundaries with time limits with those who depend on you for financial or moral support. You aren’t a bank, even though others may treat you like one.
Aquarius
It’s your nature to want to create a better world, but you’re susceptible to people who play on your humanitarian nature. Stay true to your values, but beware of those who ask too much.
Pisces
Your sensitivity to suffering makes you want to relieve anyone from suffering. Protect yourself by spending time in nature, especially near water to help relieve any emotional overload you might experience.

Unicorns and other Magical Animals
Mythology is rich in magical animals. Some were based on actual animals such as Pegasus the winged horse of Greek legend. However a number of more exotic species are described as having parts from different animals, such as the fabled Leucrota. This was said to run faster than any other creature and had the back of a stag, the chest and legs of a lion and the head of a horse with a mouth that extended right across the face, with a single bone for its teeth, but which nevertheless spoke with a human voice.
Like many fabulous creatures its home was said to be India, a land believed even in mediaeval times to extend across much of the Far East. These strange creatures were described by the author Physiologus, apparently from Alexandria who may have been St Ambrose (340 CE - 397 CE) who was Bishop of Milan, writing under a classical name to gain historical credibility. Another source of information of these amazing creatures was Saint Isidore of Seville who lived between 560 –and 636 CE. He was Bishop of Seville and wrote the Etymologiae that included information on animals real and more exotic.
Indeed mediaeval chroniclers like their Classical predecessors, believed that before humans evolved there was a race of composite animals (that is beasts made up of different animal and bird characteristics.) These were destroyed by the deities once they perfected making true animal forms but a few escaped and lived for hundreds of years in remote places until they finally died out-or were killed by would-be heroes in search of glory.
Fabulous creatures of myth and legend
Centaur
The Ancient Greeks wrote of the half men half horse centaurs that were human to the waist and who were more highly evolved intellectually than Pan’s Satyrs who were half goats. Chiron was the wisest and most just of all the Centaurs. He was taught by Apollo the sun god of prophecy and the performing arts and by Apollo’s twin sister Diana, the huntress and moon goddess.
Chiron became famous for his skills in hunting, medicine, music, and the art of prophecy and taught many Greek heroes including Hercules. He reared the infant Aesculapius who became god of medicine who in his time on earth had the power to restore the dead to life.
Sagittarius, the Archer (23 November-21 December), the constellation and zodiac star sign was named after a very active centaur Crotus, the son of Pan the woodland god who like his father loved the forests and hunting. However through the influence of his mother Eupheme, nurse to the Muses who were his playfellows, Crotus became a skilled artist and poet. He continuously shoots his arrow towards the Scorpio, the scorpion in the sky, killed by Hercules, in case it ever attacks again.
There were less benign variations of the true centaur.
A Bucentaur for example had the head and upper body of a man and the lower body, legs and tail of an ox.
A Centycore was a true composite, with horse's hooves, lion's legs, elephantine ears, a bear's muzzle and an antler with ten points, unicorn like on its forehead. Though it spoke like a human it was said to be totally vicious.
Gryphon/Griffon/Griffin
The Griffon, a popular figure in mediaeval heraldry, is said to have the body of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle, a back covered with feathers, a hooked beak and two huge talons or claws on its front two legs.
The Griffon had a nest made of pure gold in which it laid agate or jewelled eggs. Sometimes female griffons are depicted without wings.
Its name in Persian means lion eagle and so it combines the powers of the King of the Birds, the eagle and the King of the Animals the lion. In old Persia it was regarded as a guardian of the light and its statues guarded palaces and public buildings. The first griffon image dates from around 5000BCE from the former city of Susa in what is now Iran.
The Griffon is found in the mythology of many lands as a creature of the sun and often pulls the chariot of sun deities including the Greek Apollo and the wise goddess Athene. The griffon is also found painted or engraved on Egyptian tombs.
One of its main homelands was believed to be the ancient kingdom of Scythia that extended from the modern Ukraine to central Asia. Griffons dug for gold from mines to create their nests and also instinctively knew where treasure has been lost or hidden; in Scythia legend tells they protected local gem and gold resources from plunderers
In Christianity, being creatures of the heavens and earth, the griffon was adopted as a symbol for Christ and also became a symbol of faithful marriage since it was said a griffon would only have one partner and even after the death of one of them, the other would never seek another mate.
In heraldry the griffon became the totem animal of families whose founding member was both warlike and noble to reflect qualities of the eagle and the lion combined. On crests and shields of Kings and nobles the griffon was shown rearing up, standing on one hind leg with the other leg and its claws raised as though springing.
Able to carry an ox or its mortal enemy the horse off in its talons, the griffon is nevertheless considered to be a healer of blindness and its feathers could detect poison.
The griffon was described by the Roman historian Pliny the Elder in the century after Christ. He claims he was told of it by Roman travellers who had seen it.
Stone griffons may still be seen made on cathedrals or churches over entrances as protection.
Hippogryph or Hippogriff
Created by the mating of two traditional enemies the griffon and the horse, the Hippogryph was even in myth considered a rarity. However, exceptionally, it could be tamed by a wizard enough to use as a steed. Thomas Bullfinch, the nineteenth century collector of classical myths and curiosities described the hippogriff as having the head, talons and feathered wings of an eagle and the rest of the body that of a horse.
Manticore
Another composite magical beast from India, the Manticore, the size of a horse, is described in Bestiaries as having a red flame coloured lion’s body, the face of a man with grey eyes but with three rows of iron teeth, one inside the other and a tail like a scorpion, ending in spikes. It leaps great distances and makes a sound like a hiss or in other descriptions the playing of a flute or trumpet and eats humans.
Parander
A third creature, this time from Ethiopia (like India, another umbrella term this time for the regions south of the known Middle east area), is the Parander. It is pictured as the size of an ox but leaves footprints like an ibis bird (popular in Ancient Egypt as symbol of Thoth god of wisdom). With the colour and fur like a bear, the head of a stag and huge branching antlers, it chief characteristic is apparently the ability to change shape when frightened. It take the form of the nearest object whether a tree or a large stone and would maintain that form till the danger was past.
The Sphinxes of the Egyptian and classical world
While creatures like the parander and manticore were rare, the Sphinx may be found in statue form throughout Egypt as protective statues.
In Ancient Egypt recumbent sphinxes acted as guards, protecting temples and forming the base of the King’s throne.
The lion’s body was used as the body of the Sphinx and in Egypt it usually had the face of a Pharaoh. For example the colossal Great Sphinx was carved around 2500BCE, the same time as the Great Pyramids were created in Giza near Cairo. The Great Sphinx has the face of King Khafre or Cheops whose pyramid it guards. (photo: Sphinx and the Pyramid of Chephren by m_a_essam)
The most famous predictive dream in Egyptian history was that of King Thutmoses IV who ruled from 1400-1390BC and this may offer clues to the magical powers seemingly possessed by the Great Sphinx.
Thutmoses had his dream while he was still a prince and not directly in line to be the next king of Egypt. A record of his dream can still be seen on a stela, a commemorative tablet, between the front paws of the Sphinx at Giza. The stela tells that during a hunting expedition near Giza, Thutmoses became tired and fell asleep, shaded by the Sphinx that was half buried in the sand. In his dream, the Sphinx appeared and complained that his statue had been neglected and was rapidly disappearing into the sand. The Sphinx promised the prince that he would become king if he restored the monument to its former glory.
Though he was not heir to the throne, Thutmoses agreed and, when he was later made king, kept his promise to restore the statue to its former glory and erected the stela to record the experience.
The Sphinx was also regarded as the solar guardian of the horizon and ensured Apep the Chaos serpent could not follow the Sun God into the sky after their night-time battle in the Underworld.
The Criosphinxes, guardians of Amun’s temple at Karnak, formed an avenue of ram-headed sphinxes with lions’ bodies, representing the Creator god. They would only let pass those who were pure of heart, as the Temple of Amun symbolized the heavens. Amun was often pictured with the horns of a ram or as a ram
The Greek sphinx was less benign and was famed for its great knowledge and ability to create riddles. It lived outside the city of Thebes and had the body of a lion and the upper part of a woman. It lay crouched on the top of a rock, and stopped all travellers who came that way, proposing to them a riddle, with the condition that those who could solve it should pass safely, but those who failed should be killed. The hero Oedipus was the only one to answer her riddle correctly and it is told the Sphinx was so mortified at the solving of her riddle that she cast herself down from the rock and perished.
Unicorn
A pure white horse with a spiral horn or spiral grooved in the centre of its forehead, the Unicorn was first described in 398BC by the Greek Cresias. He travelled throughout Persia and the Far East and told of a creature he encountered that seems remarkably similar to the fabled unicorn.
Cresias said that the dust from its horn had healing properties, a healing power that was also mentioned in stories from many other lands.
Powdered unicorn horn was also recommended in mediaeval literature as an aphrodisiac and to reverse effects of poison.
In China the unicorn was thought to see the evil in human hearts and to kill the wicked with a single thrust of its horn, hence its associations with holiness and purity.
The unicorn of myth could run faster than light and walk across grass without disturbing it.
Though the unicorn is fierce, and so fast no hunter can catch it. It will stop and approach a pure maiden and will sleep with its head against her breast or in her lap. The unicorn is another symbol of Christ and like the Griffon was used as a heraldic symbol and family emblem by powerful families in the Middle Ages.
The German mystic Hildegard von Bingen who lived between 1098-1179 CE and who wrote various treatises on nature, considered that a ground unicorn liver mashed with egg yolk could make a lotion to cure leprosy.
The beautiful Unicorn Tapestries, created around 1500 may still be viewed at the Cloisters, a branch of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
In these seven tapestries, the unicorn is shown as a Christian symbol. They are tapestries were thought to have been designed in France and woven in Brussels. One theory as to the creator is that she was Anne, Queen of Brittany, who was also Queen of France.

Fortune Telling With Tea Leaves
Tea leaves are the simplest of the psychic arts. Our grandmothers and great-grandmothers and their mothers and grandmothers who passed down the craft, usually through the female line, did not use complicated books with hundreds of meanings.
They could instinctively interpret pictures in the clouds, in the suds as they stood at the wash tub, in the embers of the fire or in a candle as they sat beside the bed of a sick child. So too as the matriarchs sat over a gold-embossed china or a Brown Betty earthenware teapot, they listened to what their children, grandchildren, neighbours or friends were saying with their hearts and not their lips and read their fortunes in the leaves. In industrial areas of Britain, the Brown Betty is the traditional teapot used for tea leaf reading, a plain dark brown pot. You may still find one in an old fashioned hardware shop or even a car boot sale.
Tea Leaf Reading is the most intimate of the psychic arts and while you can easily read your own leaves or those of others from a plastic cup at work or in a crowded café, at its best tasseography as it is called, takes place in a quiet warm room with tea, hot scones and lashings of intimate talk, gossip and laughter.
The Origins of Tea Leaf reading.
In Chinese tradition tea was used in China as early as 3000bc as one of the elixirs of long-life and, it was said, came out of an egg when the Divine Artisan was creating the world. According to Buddhist legend the first tea leaves came from the eyelids of the meditating Holy One who cut them off to prevent himself from falling asleep while he was meditating.
Tea was used for divination in the Orient from almost the beginning and the tea ceremonies still practised in Japan today have their roots in meditation and creating that quiet space in which insight can come spontaneously. From China the secrets of its cultivation and divination spread to India and Sri Lanka, the former Ceylon. From India, the Romany gypsies brought the magical art to Europe.
Tea did not arrive in England much before the middle of the seventeenth century and was very expensive, costing from £6- £10 per pound in the prices of that period. It was not until 1885 that tea from India and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) reached England in any quantity and so even in Victorian times tea was a great luxury, kept in a locked wooden box by the lady of the house.
But the art of divination from the dregs left behind in a cup or glass was practised in Europe much earlier. Wine dregs were consulted, a craft known as olinomancy. From early times too, peasant women made herbal brews for minor ailments and to preserve good health and afterwards leaves from the brews would be used by the family matriarch to discover the root cause of the distress.
Tasseography has remained primarily the art of the Romany Gypsy or the home rather than the professional clairvoyant. It can be accompanied by varying rituals as to the kind of cup and methods used, but in essence, tea leaf reading should be learned by practice rather than by rote and the questioner’s interpretation of identity of a symbol is invariably the right one.

Pendulum Power
Did you know that a pendulum is good not only for decision making but for also for locating mislaid objects or to identify problems in a confined space, such as your car engine if you are trying to locate the source of an oil leak or lack of power.
By a process called remote dowsing you can also scribble a diagram of an area or use a map and hold the pendulum over the map to find where it vibrates to locate water, pipes or even a lost cat that may be hiding in the place identified on the map. Finding the target in actuality is then relatively easy, using your dowsing rods as you walk round the identified area.
Choosing and using a pendulum
The most popular form of pendulum is cylindrical clear crystal quartz rounded or pointed at one end. Amethyst is good for earth energies work and rose quartz for health related questions or for protection when following ghost paths.
Smaller crystals or wooden weights of a diamond shape attached to a chain or cylindrical metal pendulums can be used for physical dowsing to discover lost items or underground water or archaeological treasures.
You can equally buy a plumb bob from a DIY store or use a key on a string or a favourite pendant with the chain twisted.
How should you hold a pendulum?
The chain should be held between the thumb and forefinger, using the hand you write with, though some practitioners believe the other hand is better. Try and see. There are no definitive rights or wrongs.
Wind any extra chain round the index finger of the same hand.
Recommended chain lengths vary from about nine inches (23cm) to as long as feels comfortable so the pendulum becomes an extension of your arm. Some people prefer an even shorter pendulum chain. Experiment till it feels right.
For outdoor dowsing, earth energy or ghost work indoors around fifteen inches (38 cm) is ideal.
Making decisions using a pendulum
Establishing the pendulum’s responses
The yes/no response is good for deciding between two options or answering a question.
If you are new to pendulum work, you need to establish your pendulum’s yes/no response.
An easy way is to deliberately move the pendulum clockwise in circles and ask the pendulum to always indicate a yes or a positive response with that movement. You can then select an appropriate negative or no response, for example an anti clockwise movement and ask the pendulum to use that.
However if you prefer you can discover the pendulum’s own natural movements:
- Gently set your pendulum in motion.
- To find your personal ‘Yes’ response visualise a very happy or successful moment in your life.
- The pendulum will respond to the recalled positive emotion with its ‘Yes’ response, usually a clockwise circle or ellipse
- A ‘No’ pendulum movement is generally the mirror image of the ‘Yes’ response; for example, an anti-clockwise circle or ellipse.
- To discover your personal pendulum’s ‘No’ response concentrate on a time when you felt disappointed
Decision –making with pendulums
Asking the right questions
- Write down your initial question or say it out loud.
- Ask the question and then let your mind go blank by visualising a night sky with the stars going out one by one leaving inky blackness.
- If you hold the pendulum in a static position it will begin to move after a pause. The stronger the circling or speed of response the more definite the yes or no
- For more information after the yes or no, transfer the pendulum to your other hand and using a pen and pad of paper write down anything that comes in your mind, a technique called automatic writing.
- Ask another question if you wish and write afterwards, continuing till you have no more questions
- Read what your unconscious mind or maybe your Guardian angel dictated and you will understand the answer quite clearly.
Dowsing for options
A second method of pendulum dowsing to decide between a numbers of options, works on the gravitational pull of the pendulum downwards over the correct choice.
- Choose an issue in which you have several choices or possible outcomes.
- Divide a piece of A4 paper into squares and write as many options as you have in different squares. It does not matter if some are blank.
- You can also draw a chart of numbers to dowse for your lucky lottery numbers.
- If moving home, use pictures of houses for sale you have viewed to decide which would be best for you.
- Alternatively set small pots of herbs, essential oils or different remedies from your medicine chest in a circle to dowse for the best to ease a particular condition.
- You can do the same with small healing crystals.
- Test different foods and drinks to discover which your body needs right now or alternatively which cause allergies. If you cannot dowse over the actual objects substitute written names
- Hold your pendulum in turn over each of the marked options or items, moving very slowly.
- The sensation you are seeking is a strong pull of the pendulum downwards over one of the named options The pendulum may become very heavy prior to pulling down
- Unless you feel an instant pull over one square or object pass the pendulum over the whole grid or items.
- Continue even if you have made a choice. You may notice a less intense tugging over one or even two other squares. These can indicate additional useful factors

Astrologically Will It Be Third Time Lucky For Paul McCartney?
Last weekend, Sir Paul McCartney happily tied the knot at at Marylebone register office in London to American divorcee Nancy Shevell -- his girlfriend of the last four years. As a Gemini, it’s not uncommon to be married at least twice, and since his first marriage was a long-lasting love story that only ended due to his beloved Linda passing from breast cancer, will Paul live happily ever after this time? Will this love match be a repeat of his short-lived and disastrous second marriage to Heather Mills? Or is it really third time lucky ?
Fate is thankfully on Sir Paul’s side, as Jupiter (luck and expansion) is not only in his house of intimacy, but also aligned with his natal Venus, planet of love. Plus, with the Sun, Mercury and Saturn all in his natal First House and trining his Gemini Sun, Mercury and Saturn, it seems as if the stars are all on his side to see that happily-ever-after happens for this world famous former Beatle the third time around.

Rites of Departure
Wiccans have a positive view death seeing it as part of the natural cycle of endings and rebirth and because of this belief in the afterlife and reincarnation, they tend not to fear it. They call a funeral 'the Requiem' or the 'Rites of Departure'. Most Wiccans are cremated as they don't support the use of embalming fluids or airtight coffins that are sealed off from nature.
A 'sending ceremony' takes places place prior to a cremation, where close friends and family gather round a wicker casket laced with flowers. Each guest places a gift, such as a crystal or a message written on a card, on top of the casked while saying their goodbyes.
Following the cremation, the ashes are taken to the person's favourite tree, where they are buried or scattered. Coloured ribbons are tied to the branches so that they send prayers to the angels across the winds. Finally, all guests light a white candle and drink a glass or wine to toast the passing of their loved one.

Scientific evidence for psychic intuition.
Scientists have been left looking for an explanation as to how someone who is visually impaired can be handed a photograph of someone looking happy, sad or angry and still accurately describe how they are feeling.
This astonishing discovery was made by neuropsychologist, Dr Alan Pegna and his colleagues at Geneva University Hospital in a 2005 scientific study. Even though the person involved in the experiment couldn’t actually see, he was able to pinpoint the feelings of people in photographs handed to him. Not only that, but an MRI scan (magnetic resonance imaging) also showed activity in an area of the brain involved in emotional processing, in this case mirroring the brain activity of a sighted person taking part in the same experiment.
I believe that we are all unique expressions of a spiritual whole, and that we can all develop the psychic skills to tune into that whole where we can pick up all sorts of information. Or, as a quantum physicist may say, we’re all just waves of interconnected energy, which means that the divisions that we see with the naked eye just aren’t there when you look at the world through quantum spectacles.
This study still doesn’t explain how it’s done, but what it does give us is someone in a lab who is able to accurately tune into someone else who isn’t even there and whose picture they can’t even see and describe how they are feeling. It’s a mirror of what a good psychic reader can do, which is to ‘link in’ and describe the emotions of someone they’ve never met either from a photograph or even just working from a name.
If you’re working on developing your own psychic intuition you can run your own variation of this experiment to help you sharpen your psychic skills. Ask someone to cut out pictures of people in magazines who are showing quite easily recognisable emotions and stick them individually in sealed envelopes. Hold each envelope one by one and tune in to what you can pick up about how the person shown in the photograph might be feeling. Jot down what you get. Then you can open the envelope and make a note of how accurate you were.

Haunted Conwy Valley castle in world’s top 10
A HAUNTED gothic house in the Conwy Valley is in a list of the top 10 spookiest hotels in the world.
Gwydir Castle, in Llanrwst, which dates back to the 14th Century, is down as the eighth most haunted place to stay in a list compiled by global travel website Trip Advisor.
The restored mansion has long enjoyed a reputation as a ghost chaser’s paradise, with former owner Sir John Wynn and a murdered maid rumoured to haunt the rooms and corridors.
Judy Welford, who owns the property with husband Peter, said: “I don’t know if it is a good thing or a bad thing to be in that list but I suppose it is nice to have worldwide recognition
"We have some people who come here for our reputation as a haunted house and others who come because of the beautiful property and location.
“There are a few ghosts that are thought to roam the house and it becomes eerie when visitors see or hear the same thing in the same places.
“We personally keep an open mind about it all.
“We are very happy living here and everyone rubs along very well.”
Ghostly sightings have been recorded at the property as far back as the 19th century.
The most widely reported of the ghosts is that of a young woman in the panelled corridor between the Hall of Meredith and the Great Chamber.
Legend has it that it is the ghost of a serving maid who was seduced by Sir John Wynn (5th Baronet) and then murdered when their relationship turned sour. Her body was reputedly walled up in a large void in a chimney breast.
Sir John (1st baronet) is one of the many other reported ghosts. Sightings have been reported on the spiral staircase leading from the Solar Hall to the Great Chamber.
A ghost dog has also apparently been sighted.
Emma O’Boyle, from Trip Advisor, said: “With Halloween just around the corner TripAdvisor has compiled a fun list of spooky hotels, based on feedback from over 40 million users.”
The title for the world’s most haunted hotel went to Hotel del Coronado, in California. This has a famous haunted room, in which a pregnant woman is reported to have stayed before committing suicide while waiting for her wayward husband to join her.

Banish Bad Vibes with Crystal Power
Some rooms or spaces have an uncomfortable feel. Perhaps they're always cold when you enter, or they give you a disquieting sensation that you can't quite put your finger on.
Two crystals work well in this situation - lumps of lodestone or amethyst crystal clusters. In either case, you'll need four pieces, roughly the same size. Put one in each of the four corners of the room. Hold the intention in your mind for the crystals to protect the area, and ask your spirit guide, or angel to help you clear the negativity.

Top Ten Most Common Dreams Explained
Some dreams stay with you long after you've woken up. Find out what your most common dreams could mean!
Life may be just a dream, but how do we interpret it? What we dream at night can give us clues about what is important to us in waking life. Dreams help us to process our conscious thoughts and can give us new and important insights into the problems and challenges we face in the world. Although we may have strange and unusual dreams, there are a number of common dreams that many of us experience over and over again. Read the dream meanings below for an explanation of symbols that seem to appear frequently in dreams.
1. Faulty or lost items: your phone won't work, your car breaks down, or you can't find your husband.
This dream is alerting you to areas of your life that need repair or extra care right now. You may want to slow down and pay more attention to the area of your life indicated. For example, if you dream of your phone not working, notice how you are communicating with others – are they really hearing what you say?. Are you doing everything you can to get your message across in a positive way? If not, you may want to tune up this area of your life.
2. Money: you received a windfall, or you lost your savings in the stock market.
Money in dreams symbolizes what you value or find important in life. If you dream of suddenly receiving a sum of money, this indicates that you are at a time in your life when your values are becoming very clear to you. If you have dreams of losing money, you may be experiencing a time of feeling separated from your sense of meaning in life. Try to explore what has been important to you in the past to see if your values have changed or altered over time.
3. You find yourself back in the classroom, or you've failed a test.
This dream indicates that there is a challenge in your life and you fear failing. It also can mean that you may feel that you have regressed in some way and are not up to the task currently at hand. You may also feel judged or tested by an authority figure or someone who is in charge of you in some way.
4. You or a loved one is ill or dying.
Dreams of death often represent the ending of one phase of your life so that a new one can begin. It can show forthcoming finalities such as the end of a marriage or career. These are symbolic dreams and are unlikely to forecast an actual event If the dead person is someone you know, consider what aspect of yourself that person represents. For example, if you dream of your mother dying could it represent the 'death' of the motherly side of your own nature. Perhaps you should try to be more caring and maternal or perhaps plans you have should be nurtured rather than killed off. Alternatively, you may also be expressing your hidden feelings about the person shown. Do you have a secret resentment towards them or desire to be independent of them?
5. Being chased.
Being chased in a dream indicates that you may be feeling you have a lot of responsibilities that you are having a hard time keeping up with. This dream is often known as a "stress dream," indicating that its presence is a sign to try to relax and slow down.
6. Teeth: your teeth are falling out or breaking off.
It can sometimes just literally mean that you are frightened of losing your teeth as you age. It can also indicate the beginning of a new phase of life just as we lose our teeth when we pass from early childhood and head towards adulthood. You may be worried about your self image or the dream may signify unexpressed anxiety.
7. Nudity.
Dreams where you or someone else appears nude relate to feelings of being exposed or vulnerable in waking life. You may currently be having an experience where everyone else seems to know about your problems and issues, and you are having a hard time processing your situation privately.
8. Falling, flying, or sinking.
Changing direction, either going up or down in a dream, indicates where your awareness is in waking life. Dreams of falling or sinking symbolize a time of being more aware of your unconscious mind and deepest innermost thoughts, feelings, and memories. Dreams of flying indicate that you are exploring your conscious mind at this time or connecting to the realm of spirits, angels, and other energetic beings.
9. Water.
Water in dreams is a sign that a certain emotional situation or experience is of importance in your life. Now is a good time to pay particular attention to your feelings and the realm of the imagination, dreams, and fantasies. The condition or state of the water will give clues as to the exact nature of your experience. Hurricanes and storms can indicate more challenging emotional situations, and on the opposite side, gentle streams and lakes indicate a more calm and peaceful emotional state or even a love or romantic connection.
10. Missing a boat, plane, bus, etc.
Transportation vehicles in dreams symbolize the ability to move and act in the world. They represent our will, desire, and skill at accomplishing and manifesting our dreams and goals. When one of these vehicles is missing, it can mean that we are having a hard time finding the motivation to act and move in the world. We may need to reconnect with what drives or propels us into creatively manifesting our dreams.
Developing the skill to interpret and make the most of your dream messages is an easy and enjoyable process and can be done by just about anyone.
Quick Tips to Interpret and Benefit from Your Dreams:
1. Keep a dream diary near your bed to record your dreams.
2. Read through your journal once a week and underline repeating dream symbols, terms, people, and themes that arise.
3. Use the guide above to track your current emotional state and life issues, and notice the patterns and timing of their evolution.
4. Try to identify any dream symbols (cars, teeth, water) that appear in your waking life, noticing which appear with greater frequency and the nature of your interaction with these symbols.

Psychic Octopus Paul Dies Peacefully In His Sleep
Paul the octopus, who shot to fame predicting the results of World Cup football matches in South Africa has passed away.
He is said to have died peacefully in his tank at the Oberhausen Sea Life Centre in Germany.
The eight-armed 'psychic' correctly predicted the winners of all Germany's World Cup clashes, and then the final.
He did it by selecting one of two boxes, each loaded with a mussel food treat and marked on the outside with one of the teams.
Sea life centre manager Stefan Porwoll said: "His success made him almost a bigger story than the World Cup itself."
Staff said there was nothing fishy about Paul's death as common octopuses generally only live a couple of years.
"He appears to have passed away peacefully during the night of natural causes," said Mr Porwoll.
He added: "We are consoled by the knowledge that he enjoyed a good life here.
"We may decide to give Paul his own small burial plot within our grounds and erect a modest permanent shrine."
Happily, Paul will live on through commercial enterprises ranging from special clothing lines to mobile phone applications.
He will also feature in a documentary to be released early next year.

Ghosts Are Phoning Friends
GHOSTS are trying to make contact with living friends using mobile phones, a paranormal expert claims in today's Sun newspaper
The number of mystery calls to mobiles attributed to spooks has rocketed by 43 per cent in the last four years, a study found.
Ghost investigator Phil Hayes from Paranormal Research UK believes a third of all hauntings are now through mobile phones.
The calls often feature heavy static and the voice sounds faint and distant, he revealed. Nine in ten show as "withheld number" or "000000000000" on caller ID.
Statistics show two thirds of all paranormal phenomena feature sounds, with just 20 per cent being actual sightings of ghosts and 15 per cent based on smell.
Around half of audible hauntings were captured on voice recorders by specialist ghost hunters, with eight per cent coming through TV or radio.
New research shows one in three in the UK claim to have seen an apparition in a photo or captured paranormal footage on their mobile.
The study by Tesco Mobile revealed Paranormal Research UK have seen a 70 per cent upsurge in paranormal evidence in the last year due to people using their phones.
More than half of Brits claimed they would try to capture a sighting of a ghost — but one in five admitted they would be terrified and run away.
Three in five people say they know someone who has experience paranormal activity, with half having felt an unexplained shiver down the spine when entering a room.
Phil Hayes said: "There is evidence to suggest that ghosts can use phone to communicate, with reports of people receiving phone calls from deceased relatives."
Lance Batchelor, CEO of Tesco Mobile said: "We'd recommend those brave enough to capture any spooky sightings should MMS or email their pics to the paranormal society for investigation
"Keep your camera phone on the highest quality resolution setting and use the recorder to capture the noise of any spectral sounds.

Does this photograph prove that ghosts really exist?
Ghost hunters from Cheshire Paranormal Society (CPS) snapped this photo last year during an all night vigil on the historic Packhorse Bridge in the village of Caergwrle, near Wrexham.
At the time members hadn't realised what was apparently standing on the bridge in front of them, said John Millington from the group, but some group members had reported feeling uneasy.
Also, other paranormal activity was also recorded, such as so-called orbs of light, one of which can also been seen in this photo.
Through further study and assistance from members of Hope and Caergwrle Heritage Society, it's thought three ghosts haunt the bridge; a young girl and two women.
CPS members believe this photo shows the ghost of Squire Yonge who, the history books say, was well known in the area 300 years ago.
The group also believe that the sighting of ghosts on the bridge could be to do with a former burial ground in the area and that the bridge was the access point.
What do you think?

Feast of the Dead - Origins of Halloween
Samhain (pronounced 'sow'inn') is a very important date in the Pagan calendar for it marks the Feast of the Dead. Many Pagans also celebrate it as the old Celtic New Year (although some mark this at Imbolc). It is also celebrated by non-Pagans who call this festival Halloween.
Samhain has been celebrated in Britain for centuries and has its origin in Pagan Celtic traditions. It was the time of year when the veils between this world and the Otherworld were believed to be at their thinnest: when the spirits of the dead could most readily mingle with the living once again. Later, when the festival was adopted by Christians, they celebrated it as All Hallows' Eve, followed by All Saints Day, though it still retained elements of remembering and honouring the dead.
To most modern Pagans, while death is still the central theme of the festival this does not mean it is a morbid event. For Pagans, death is not a thing to be feared. Old age is valued for its wisdom and dying is accepted as a part of life as necessary and welcome as birth. While Pagans, like people of other faiths, always honour and show respect for their dead, this is particularly marked at Samhain. Loved ones who have recently died are remembered and their spirits often invited to join the living in the celebratory feast. It is also a time at which those born during the past year are formally welcomed into the community. As well as feasting, Pagans often celebrate Samahin with traditional games such as apple-dooking.
Death also symbolises endings and Samhain is therefore not only a time for reflecting on mortality, but also on the passing of relationships, jobs and other significant changes in life. A time for taking stock of the past and coming to terms with it, in order to move on and look forward to the future.
Ancient Celtic celebrations
Not only did the Celts believe the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead dissolved on this night, they thought that the presence of the spirits helped their priests to make predictions about the future.
To celebrate Samhain the Druids built huge sacred bonfires. People brought harvest food and sacrificed animals to share a communal dinner in celebration of the festival.
During the celebration the Celts wore costumes - usually animal heads and skins. They would also try and tell each other's fortunes.
After the festival they re-lit the fires in their homes from the sacred bonfire to help protect them, as well as keep them warm during the winter months.

Did you know that Halloween used to be known as ‘nutcrack night’ in parts of the north of England, as nuts were traditionally put in fires on 31st October to predict the fidelity and success of relationships.
If you’d like to give it a go:
- First of all, find two matching chestnuts, and on Halloween, designate one for yourself and one for your other half.
- Now place them side-by-side in a burning fireplace and keep an eye on your partner’s chestnut.
- If it burns bright, so does their love. If the nut cracks and jumps, it supposedly signals infidelity, inconstancy or uncertainty while if his nut doesn’t burn at all, his heart is cold towards you. If both nuts burn together at a harmonious, steady rate, apparently your relationship is for keeps!

Angel of Death
Folklore says that villagers in Llangernyw, Conwy, in Wales, may if they dare learn their grim fate under the boughs of a 3,000-year-old yew tree.
Over in the west of the region are to be found nestling among the hills many interesting and isolated villages harbouring strange remnants of forgotten lore. At Llangernyw, for example, the little medieval church had a reputation for being haunted by a weird, death-dealing spirit!
The origins of this legend may have something to do with its location. The church itself is centuries old, but the site it stands on was sacred thousands of years before it was built. The churchyard at Llangernyw, midway between Abergele and Llanrwst, has the honour of containing within it the oldest living thing in Wales - a mighty yew tree, which botanists believe to be more than 3,000 years old. This means it was planted sometime in the prehistoric Bronze Age. What makes this particularly interesting is that elsewhere in the churchyard are two standing stones, which would have been raised up by pagans at about the same time.
These stones have primitive Christian crosses etched on them, made sometime in the Dark Ages. Between these Christianised pagan stones and the yew tree stands the medieval church. Clearly, Llangernyw is a very ancient and sacred place.
This then may be what attracted the presence of the mysterious "Angelystor". Angelystor - the Recording Angel - manifested itself in the church every Hallowe'en. Here, at the dead of night, it was said to speak the names of all those in the parish who were to die in the following year.
One fateful Hallowe-en night, after a few too many pints, the sceptical village tailor, known as Shôn ap Robert, laughingly derided the existence of the Recording Angel. Spurred on by his drinking pals, he barged out into the night and made his wobbly way to the church, to prove Angelystor a myth.
But when he arrived at the door he heard to his horror a deep voice booming from within. It was reciting names. And the first name he heard was - "Shôn ap Robert"!
"Hold, hold!" he cried. "I am not ready yet!" But, ready or not, he found his grave in Llangernyw churchyard that coming year.

Caught on Camera - Ghost or Mist?
Matt Armstrong was taking photos around the village of Llay, near Wrexham, when he caught this image on camera. Read his story:
" My friend Shaun Bird and myself decided to walk down to the bottom of the hill at Pentwmpath and take some photos of Nant-Y-Gaer wood. I took several photographs and we walked back up the hill.
The hill was very icy and Shaun had training shoes on and was able to walk a little faster than myself. Shaun was nearly at the top of the hill and I was only three quarters of the way up. I decided to stop and take a photo of the bridge at the bottom of the hill.
I took the photo using a digital camera. With the digital camera that I use it displays the photo for a brief second before you can take the next. When the camera displayed the photo it looked as though the picture had not taken correctly. I took another straight away. There was about a five second gap between each photo.
When I downloaded the photos from the camera to my PC, I had a look at the photo that I thought had not taken correctly. There was a white mist covering over half of the photo. I could not explain where or how this mist had appeared from. At this moment I walked away from my desk to get a pen. As I walked back to the PC I was looking at the photo. I could not believe what I was seeing.
Within the mist were two faces, one staring into the camera and one looking down at the floor. The one looking into the camera appears to be wearing a hat or a helmet. The other appears to have something on his head, but it is not too clear. Others have looked at the photo and can also see the two faces.
I can assure all of you that the photo has not been tampered with in any way and that there was no mist around at the time I took the photos.
Are these two faces images of ghosts that are living in limbo on Penny Hill? If so, why did they disappear so quickly? Why did they appear in the first place? Why did they only appear on the camera and not in view of all of us? Or is it just a fault with the camera that has taken thousands of pictures previously with no problem. You can decide for yourself."

Why Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt Were Never Meant To Be Together
By Linda - Your Psychic Guide
Jennifer Aniston was never destined to achieve happy-ever-after with ex-husband Brad Pitt because she is a ‘builder’ and he is an ‘explorer’, according to romance scientists (Linda says, ‘do such people really exist?)
People have one of four chemicals in their brain that moulds romantic chemistry, scientists explain.
In ‘builders’ like Aniston, serotonin is the dominant chemical, making them calm and cautious.
‘Explorers’, like Brad Pitt, meanwhile, are led by dopamine, creating a more spontaneous and risk-taking romancer.
And, yes, you’ve guessed it, Brad’s current partner Angelina Jolie (click here to read Angelina's psychic experience) is an ‘explorer’, too.
Professor Helen Fisher, an expert in the science of love, said: ‘It’s possible to scientifically understand why people partner better with certain types.’
Poor Jen - she was doomed from the very start!

The Secrets to a Successful Love Relationship
By Linda - your psychic guide
Would you believe that the key to keeping your love relationship alive is not expensive gifts or outrageous role-play; it’s sharing just four hugs a day?
A recent online poll of 4,000 couples revealed that regularly hugging your partner can help keep a healthy relationship.
Other tips to keep the romance alive included spending at least 22 periods of ‘quality time’ together every month, such as a long walk or dinner for two, and gifts from partners at least once a month.
Researchers asked couples who described themselves as ‘happy’ or ‘very happy’ how much time they spent together.
They found that couples looking for the secret ingredient to maintain a marriage should spend at least seven nights in together, with two proper dinner dates every month.
But you shouldn’t spend all your free time with your other half. The survey also revealed that happy couples strongly advise others to spend at least one evening a month away from their partner.

A Man Can Fall In Love In Less Than Ten Seconds!
By Linda - Your Psychic Guide
Working as a psychic for over 25 years I’ve heard lot of stories from my clients of falling in love with someone at first sight. In fact sometimes my psychic predictions suggest that this may indeed be my client's actual destiny. Whilst some may remain sceptical that it's possible to fall in love so quickly the news is that latest scientific research proves it to be true for men!
And the time needed for a man to fall in love at first sight is just 8.2 seconds, scientists claim.
The longer a man's gaze rests on a woman when they meet for the first time, the more interested he is. If it lasts just four seconds, he may not be all that impressed. But if it breaks the 8.2 second barrier, he could already be in love.
However the same is not true for women. They let their eyes linger on men for the same length of time whether they find them attractive or not, the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior reported.
Hidden cameras were used to secretly track the eye movements of 115 students as they spoke to actors and actresses. They were then asked to rate their conversation partner’s attractiveness.
The men looked into the eyes of actresses they considered beautiful for an average of 8.2 seconds, but that dropped to 4.5 seconds when gazing at those they rated less attractive. The female students, however, looked at the actors for the same length of time.
The researchers believe that men use eye contact to seek out fit and fertile mates. But women are more wary of attracting unwanted attention because of the risks of unwanted pregnancy and single parenthood.
Girls, watch out for quick eye contact from a stranger. Who knows where it may lead?

Forget Your First Love Or Future Relationships Will Suffer
By Linda - Your Psychic Guide
Many of my clients contact me for a psychic reading because they can't stop thinking about their first love. And often this nostalgia for the past has a negative effect on present relationships.
Do you remember your first love? How you couldn't stop thinking about him and the little rush of butterflies you got whenever he called? Well, apparently it's time to forget all that and move on'.
New research has found that the rose-tinted memories we have of our first love can ruin all our relationships in later life.
According to sociologists, the buzz we experience with our first love can become an unrealistic benchmark against which all future relationships are judged.
So, it would seem the key to successful liaisons later in life is to forget the intensity and passion that you had with your childhood sweetheart.
Dr Malcolm Brynin, who put together a report called Changing Relationships, believes having a more realistic view of our old flame is the key to long-lasting happiness.
'Strangely, it seems that the secret to long-term happiness in a relationship is to skip a first relationship,' he explains.
‘In an ideal world you would wake up already in your second relationship. If you had a passionate first relationship and allow that feeling to become your benchmark, it becomes inevitable that future, more adult partnerships will seem boring and a disappointment.
‘The problems start if you try not only to get everything you need for an adult relationship, but also long for the dizzy heights of excitement and intensity you had in your first experience of love'.
He added. 'The solution is clear: if you can protect yourself from intense passion in your first relationship, you will be happier in your later relationships.'
If only it were that simple!

Is Jealousy Destroying Your Relationship?
By Linda Preston – Your Psychic Guide
When love is mixed with fear it creates one of the most powerful emotions on earth: jealousy. And jealousy is, of course, both poisonous and destructive to any loving relationship.
Having worked as a psychic reader for over 25 years I've had many clients confide in me about their deep feelings of insecurity and worry that their partner may cheat on them.
And so often their feelings are just that ‘feelings’. There are no real grounds to mistrust their partner. But yet they allow nothing more than what is just an unpleasant, negative feeling to destroy a perfectly good relationship!
If you're plagued by feelings of jealousy you may begin to understand why by asking yourself the three questions below:
Why are you jealous?
When you're trying to handle your own jealousy, the first thing to consider is why you're feeling jealous. Did something happen to cause you to feel jealous, or are you struggling with irrational emotions rather than a current situation? Do you have trust issues with your partner? Or are your jealous tendencies left over from a previous relationship where you felt betrayed? Perhaps you have issues with trusting yourself that you are projecting onto the other person.
If your partner has done something that made you question their honesty, you need to address the situation.. Otherwise, take a look at the patterns in your life that have brought on your trust issues. Address these - and you'll be less likely to drag them into an otherwise-happy relationship.
How do you express jealousy?
The next step is to question how you're communicating your feelings of jealousy with your partner. Do you quietly bottle up your feelings - but secretly fume inside? Do you scream accusations and threaten to leave? Perhaps you even break down in tears, and beg them not to leave you – even though they have shown no indication that they intend to do so.
It's important to use positive communication techniques to let your partner know when something hurts your feelings and makes you feel jealous. Choose a time when you can talk in a calm, safe way, and use "I" statements such as "I feel jealous when you have a drink with your ex-girlfriend" or "I feel jealous when you talk with women online."
What do you do with jealousy?
The next step is to begin paying attention to what actions you're taking as a result of your jealous feelings. When you start feeling jealous, how do you react? Do you check through his emails and text messages? Maybe you throw a tantrum and accuse him of cheating?
Whether you realise it or not, reacting to jealousy in this way will only leave you with more fear and frustration. In a way, your unconscious goal is to find something incriminating, so in that sense you will only be "satisfied" if you find proof of cheating. And. of course, your fear will eventually drive him away, emotionally - which is the opposite of what you really wanted.
Stop the cycle right now - the more you act out of jealousy, the more you create that vicious circle of fear and frustration. Of course it's important to pay attention if your partner is acting suspiciously, but at the end of the day your jealous behaviour is not going to keep anyone from cheating - in some cases, it may even encourage it.
If you really want to let go of jealousy, you must also let go of the idea that you can control someone through love. Just as love is a risk, trust is a choice. Each time you decide not to pry , you make a choice to become a more loving, trusting partner.

Terrifying Night Singer Morrisey Saw A Ghost
MORRISSEY claims to have had a close encounter with a ghost on Saddleworth Moor, Manchester – the desolate area notorious for being the scene of the sadistic Moors murders of the 1960s
The former Smiths singer believes he saw the spirit of a troubled young man - naked apart from an anorak - when he drove through the area with friends one night in 1989.
Describing Saddleworth as 'the most barren, desolate, desperate place' he said he and his friends saw a frightened man run out from the moor, desperately pleading for their car to stop.
He said: "It was a boy of maybe 18 years. He was totally grey, and he had long hair in a sort of 1970s style. He wore a very small anorak and nothing else.
"He just emerged from the heather and pleaded to the lights, and we drove past because we all instinctively knew this was a spirit and because it had a history of being a place where so many bodies have been dumped and buried. It's not really the kind of place you hang around. We went to the phone box in the nearest village and called the police.
"We said, 'We have just driven down the Wessenden Road on Saddleworth Moor, and somebody has emerged from the side of the road and pleaded to the car. The police said, 'Keep an open mind'."
The next day, Morrissey drove back to the same spot to find it totally deserted, with no buildings or pathways within sight.
Gang
He said: "Was it somebody trying to ambush the car, so we'd stop to help and then suddenly a gang would emerge and take everything from us?
"Was it somebody who was being chased? Or was it the spectre of somebody who had been dumped on the moors many years ago?
"This person was not human, and it was very, very frightening."
The singer-song writer, who now lives in Rome, has spoken before about the deep impression left on him by the Moors Murders as a child.
The Smiths' first song, Suffer Little Children, was written about the killings by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.
Morrissey, 50, also said in an interview with the Los Angeles Weekly that he wants to return to earth from beyond the grave, and is already thinking about who he would like to spook.
He said: "It would be fascinating if one could be a spirit and observe everything. There are a few people I'd like to... unsettle, shall we say"

Ten Top Tips For Starting A New Relationship
By Linda - your psychic guide
In my psychic work I hear endless tales from my clients of broken relationships that have caused much upset and anguish to those involved. And many feel that they cannot ever see themselves being happy in a new relationship.
When we’ve been devastated by the end of a relationship, we may go into new relationships ultra cautiously as we are scared of being hurt again. But this can be a bit of ‘two edged sword’ Whilst being street-wise can help you avoid making the same mistake the next time, It can also make you so hyper alert to possible problems that you never feel relaxed. So I've put together some tips based on years of psychic experience for when you're ready to try again.
1. Let go of the past. It’s impossible to begin again whilst you still have one foot in the past and you are holding a candle for your lost love.
2. Realize you can make a choice. OK. Something bad happened. You're not a victim. You can and will move on
3. Learn who’s safe and not safe and how to be safe. Once bitten, twice shy. Learn the early warning signs that someone is not sincere and put up proper boundaries to keep people like that far away from your heart.
4. Work out what you really want. What do you want for yourself? What are you moving toward? Know what your values are and be clear about what you’re looking for in a relationship. Then, be bold about not settling for less.
5. Realize there are wonderful people everywhere. You may feel that your last partner was the world’s worse cheat but don’t forget the world’s also full of great people too!
6. Learn where to go to meet people who enjoy the same things you do. Pubs, clubs and online flirting/dating sites are never the best place to meet genuine people. Join a club and meet like minded people and also you will have more time to get to know someone and to make the right judgements. If you like to dance, take dance lessons. If you like to walk, join a walking group.
7. Hold off on the sex. Give yourself time to get to know someone before jumping in the bed. A recent survey by Sociologist Dr. Edward Lauman’s found that 85 percent of couples had known each other at least 30 days before having sex and 45 percent waited at least a year. And these were the relationships that had lasted the course.
8. Check out their “fit.” How are they around your family and friends? How comfortable are you around theirs? If your family and friends really don't like your partner are they seeing something that you're not?
9. Pay attention to their general behavior. Is this person “laid back” or is your relationship full of drama? Are there periodic temper tantrums? Regular blow outs! Take care if so.
10. Listen to your gut instincts. You have a built-in radar that alerts you when something is wrong. So, learn to respect your intuition and you will make the right choices!

Three Tips to Add Happiness to Your Day
By Linda - Your Psychic Guide
So many clients who contact me for psychic readings are feeling sad and depressed.
But we all have times we feel down in the dumps – as if everything is an effort. If you’re feeling this way why not try these three happiness tips to give your spirits a real boost.
Make a Happiness First-Aid Kit
Fill it with feel-good items: bubble bath, a gift certificate for a manicure, a funny photo of your kids, a CD of sounds of the ocean, a stash of chocolate—whatever you can count on to perk you up in the middle of a bad mood.
Be Helpable
If you’re always saying yes to others’ requests but no, thanks when someone offers you a hand, stop! Letting yourself be helped lightens your load and creates a makes the other person feel good too.
Stop the Psychic Vampires
We all have them in our life. Just a few minutes in the company of some people leaves us drained and depressed. If someone is being negative, ask her to tell you one good thing that happened to her recently. It may not alter her attitude permanently, but it can sure make her more pleasant to be around in the short term.
And of course if you feel that you need some professional psychic help for your problems then contact Linda now for an accurate and professional psychic reading. She’s always here for you.

My Psychic Guide to Eight Common Relationship Mistakes
By Linda - Your Psychic Guide.
As a psychic of many years experience I hear many unhappy stories about relationships. And it's such a shame because much heartache could so easily be avoided. I feel that many people are unconsciously setting themselves up for failure without even knowing it. Look out for the warning signs with my detailed guide below.
I admit no one’s perfect (me included) but I feel that there's some mistakes that have more impact on your love relationship than others. Have you made any of these blunders lately?
Mistake 1: Trying To Change Your Partner
"If they love me enough, they'll change to please me." So many believe that they can and will change their partner. It's only a matter of time. They say, "If he loves me enough, he'll change that small thing to please me." But to your partner, that "small thing" isn't so small. Even if they do try to change to please you, very often they become resentful. "You don't love me for myself, but for the person you want me to be," they say. And it's true. When you try to change them they feel you don't really love them. You just want to turn them into someone to fill your needs.
Mistake 2: Feeling Like You're A Failure In Relationships
When some people see that things aren't working out they become depressed. They feel as though they're not loveable, that destiny is against them or that they will always be a failure in love. The truth is that you're not a failure. You simply have not yet learned that sometimes you have to think outside of the box. Once you learn and practice new ideas and methods, you'll be able to handle your life in a way you may have never thought possible.
Mistake 3: Believing You Have To Be "Good Enough" To Keep Their Love
Many feel they're not "good enough". Recently a client contacted me and said, "I finally found a really great guy but I'm miserable in the relationship. Everyday I worry that he'll find out who I really am and leave." This woman not only expected rejection, she actually did little things to bring it about. Soon she began to sabotage the relationship, finding fault with him at every turn. Although she didn't realise it, she did this to feel better about herself. The truth is we can never earn another person's love. The more we try the worse we feel. We must simply understand that who we truly are is entirely loveable. We must learn to make friends with ourselves.
Mistake 4: Rejecting Your Partner So They Can't Do It First
Many reject their partners as protection against being rejected themselves. They think that they don't deserve a relationship. They need to learn that they do deserve love in their lives.
Mistake 5: Believing Your Partner Should Read Your Mind, And Know What You Want "If he/she really loved me, they'd know what I needed and give it to me." Many believe that if their partners really loved them, they would read their minds. It wouldn't be necessary to have to actually ask for what they wanted. This is one of the most serious mistakes people make in relationships. Without truthful, open, communication no relationship can survive. Clear communication, however, is an art that has to be learned. And though you may feel that you have repeated yourself a thousand times, have your really communicated or nagged? Not only is it necessary to know what you want, and to ask for it clearly (without producing guilt) -- it is also necessary to be able to accept both yes and no.
Mistake 6: Believing It's Your Partner's Job to Make You Happy
Your partner is not there to meet all your needs. If he/she says no, it doesn't mean he/she doesn't love you. Some demands may be impossible to fulfill. It's not your partner's job to make you happy. Your partner should be here to grow and share with you. You must learn to make yourself happy, and make others happy as well. Love is based upon communicating, consideration and giving. First, however, you must be happy with yourself, before another can make you happy.
Mistake 7: Believing It's Hard To Get Him to Talk
"No matter what I do I can't get him to talk, and I don’t believe he is sharing all of his honest feelings with me." Many women claim they can't get men to talk. When time comes for intimate conversation men clam up, offer a few grunts and expect women to magically understand what's going on. Women feel shut out and men feel misunderstood. But, there is something women don't realise. Men want to talk. Under the right conditions, they'll talk all night long. Men desperately want to let others know what's going on. However, something else many don't realise is, men are more fragile than women. In order for them to talk, things have to be right. All that's needed here is to learn how to create the right conditions and what's necessary for a man to feel safe enough with you to talk.
Mistake 8: Are you addicted to drama?
Many couples keep relationships alive and exciting by fighting. When they see their partner upset, it reassures them that they care. Others have seen their parents fighting and this is the only role model they have. Some are addicted to the "high" they get out of fighting. A few crave the feeling of domination or control. Domination is not love. If it hurts, it's abuse, not love. Think about it.

Are You Emotionally Unfaithful To Your Partner?
By Linda - Your Psychic Guide.
Do you have a really special friendship with a member of the opposite sex even though you're already attached? Have you ever imagined yourself in their arms or even in their bed. If so, you could be being unemotionally unfaithful to your partner.
SO WHAT IS BEING EMOTIONALLY UNFAITHFUL?
Some people are involved in deep, intimate friendships with others and many couples may brush them off as harmless. But this type of friendship with someone who may otherwise be interesting sexually if you weren't already attached could in a way be classed as an affair and be equally as dangerous.
BUT IS THIS REALLY THE CASE?
Probably yes! An emotional affair is usually more intimate than any ordinary friendship - even a close one. And that’s why it could really be called an affair! But is really being unfaithful?
If you or your partner are so caught up with a ‘ special’ someone, so special that you wouldn't think of sharing the conversations or experiences you have together with your actual partner, you may be in deeper than you think.
As a psychic I would say that around a third of my clients struggle with this issue and are involved in some sort of emotionally charged relationship with someone outside of their main relationship. And it’s often someone they work with. After all most people spend several hours a day at work. Is it any wonder that they get a bit to close for comfort to a colleague?
In the beginning, emotional affairs can seem innocent. The feelings that you have are wonderful, and they can give you a real buzz. You have a lot in common with the other person. You can talk to them and feel really understood. You even begin to see them as your true soul mate. But they can be dangerous! You could end up falling deeply in love.
I have many caring clients who end up in this difficult position. They don't wish to hurt the partner in their main relationship, but the emotional affair has become their main priority. A key clue to whether you are emotionally unfaithful is: "If the person you would call if you had really great news - or needed support - is the person outside of your relationship, you're already involved in an emotional affair."
Many of my clients are otherwise very faithful, but this very intimate friendship does become an affair of sorts. As their spouses end up feeling a loss of a connection to their partner, they get less attention, and there is a sense of betrayal.
Some also report having looked up an old or lost love online just for fun. But then later, they find themselves quickly being drawn into nostalgia for the past totally forgetting why the relationship didn’t work last time around. They become filled with the desire to delve further into the possibilities of what they're feeling, imagining and wishing for. And that’s often when they call me for help . Sometimes they want to know if the other person involved feels the same way - or what the future might hold for them. Others feel terrible, and want to find a way back to their real partner.
So what drives people to connect so intimately outside of their main relationship?
Sometimes emotional affairs can keep a marriage alive, because they make you feel valued. At other times, these relationships can sew the seeds of what will become full-blown affairs. Some people find these friendships to be eye-opening lessons about what they need to ask for in their main relationships. But the downside can be guilt, confusion, and wishful thinking about a future that might involve complete intimacy can result. These relationships have the potential to lead to infidelity and divorce. That's a high price to pay for something that had appeared to be a harmless friendship.
Whilst to some they can be dangerous, they can also be enlightening and liberating. Look at what this relationship is telling you about your main relationship. Never ignore or dismiss an emotional affair simply because there's no physical intimacy. It's telling you something very important about what you need, what you want - and what you have to offer.
And although emotional affairs can open your eyes - you need to work on the relationship you have, or you may well lose it. It's up to you to decide if it's the effort. If not, you must move on.

True Life Near Death Experiences
The phrase "near-death experience" was first used by Dr Raymond Moody in his 1975 book, "Life After Life."
Many credit Moody's work with bringing the idea of the near-death experience to the public's attention, but reports of such experiences can be traced back throughout history. Plato's "Republic," written in 360 B.C.E., contains the tale of a soldier named Er who had an NDE after being killed in battle. Er described his soul leaving his body, being judged along with other souls and seeing heaven.
SO WHAT IS A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE?
A near-death experience is when someone close to death or suffering from some trauma or disease that may lead to death, experiences events that seem to be impossible, unusual or supernatural. While there are many questions about NDE’s, one thing is certain - they do happen! So many thousands of people across the world have reported these strange occurences when at the point of death that they are impossible to ignore.
SO WHAT ARE SOME OF THE COMMON CHARACTERISTICS OF A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE?
Feelings of calmness - These feelings may include peacefulness, acceptance of death, emotional and physical comfort.
Intense, pure bright light - Sometimes this intense (but not painful) light fills the room. In other cases, the subject sees a light that they feel represents either Heaven or God.
Out-of-body experiences (OBE) - The subject feels that he has left his body. He can look down and see it, often describing the sight of doctors working on him. In some cases, the subject's "spirit" then flies out of the room, into ¬the sky and sometimes into space.
Entering into another realm or dimension - Depending on the subject's religious beliefs and the nature of the experience, he may perceive this realm as Heaven or, in rare cases, as Hell.
Spirit beings - During the OBE, the subject encounters "beings of light," or other representations of spiritual entities. He may perceive these as deceased loved ones, angels, saints or God.
The tunnel - Many NDE subjects find themselves in a tunnel with a light at its end. They may encounter spirit beings as they pass through the tunnel.
HERE ARE SOME TRUE LIFE NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES:
DONNA'S EXPERIENCE
I have not shared this experience publicly in fact I am a little hesitant on sharing with you, the few I have told in the past say I was hallucinating or was delusional at the time. I guess that is why I have kept it inside me for so many, many years. Just in the past decade or so have I read and heard more and more people sharing there NDE with the public and revealing very personal details in books. I guess that's what prompted me to share this with you now!
Well, like I said it was l973 and I was in the hospital with a high fever. I had lost massive amounts of blood and had bad cramping of the stomach due to a miscarriage. I remember being in the emergency room and then they admitted me to a private room. When I was there and the doctor was examining me my heart stopped, my fever was off the thermometer, and he called in more doctors and nurses.
I distinctly remember starting to myself leaving my body and floating up to the top of the room. As I looked down there were five doctors, 3 nurses and IV's being put in both arms and a heart machine trying to bring me back! I just looked down on them and it felt so good to be up there that it was really quite beautiful and I really didn't care to go back. The next thing I recall was floating way up to a place in a bright luminous light that I have never seen in this world words could not describe the warmth, love, and peaceful feeling that was in this light. I was 17 then and I saw a huge 3 dimensional screen come up bigger then any movie screen I had ever seen in life! I just stood there watching my whole entire life pass before my eyes on this screen everyone in whom I ever was encountered with in my 17 years of life was on this screen every emotion and feeling was also played too! It was surreal! After that I started floating toward a tunnel it was very long but the light on the other side was unbelievable I was in so much bliss going toward the light the feelings I had felt was so loving and peaceful nothing like I ever felt on earth I really wanted to go and never come back here! It was pure joy peace and bliss but I was told I had to come back my purpose was not filled here. I started floating back next thing I remember looking down at my body with all those doctors trying to bring me back and fighting for them not too!! I could not move a muscle in my body yet as my spirit body was moving back into my physical body I kept saying no no don't do this to me let me go don't save me I was really hoping they wouldn't bring me back! I learned one thing when I was there I will always remember I guess it was my lesson or something I never really understood, but I do believe whole heartedly that the message was really simple about life but yet everyone in this world has a hard time trying to live there life that way for some reason I have seen in the decades I have lived since then.
The message was to love each and everyone and judge no one or nothing! Just that simple! I have touched many peoples lives over the years and I hope to continue too with this message I hope I have touched yours.
SAUNDRA'S EXPERIENCE
Hello, my name is Saundra and I want to relate an experience of mine that I am not certain is a near-death experience, because some aspects usual to NDE’s are missing. I have suffered throughout my life with severe illness, Lupus played a large part in my debilitation When I was a young, married mother of two, I believe I was twenty five at the time, I suffered a Lupus flare-up, for which I was hospitalized I was profoundly weak, but with another week or two of confinement ahead, I asked for permission to go home for a day I did go home against my doctor's counsel, and paid dearly for the foolish, impulsive act The symptoms that landed me in the hospital, intensified to the point that I could no longer bear the terrible, crushing pain in my spine and chest, and breathing had become so difficult that I knew, without doubt, that I would soon lose consciousness and ultimately, die! At that stage, I didn't have the slightest inclination to call the hospital; I needed a power beyond human ability! My then-husband, heeded my gasping cries that he call my minister, but he had to leave me because we didn't have a phone I did not see or hear him leave, for by that time I was no longer conscious There was no tunnel, but one minute I was lying face down on my bed and the next --I was in the sky! I don't recall actually leaving my body, but I knew I wasn't in it, I thought I was dreaming, and I kept wondering if I were dreaming, yet it was so real! There were big, puffy, white clouds surrounding me, and I caught glimpses of blue sky, "and I'm still wondering "What is happening to me"? I was becoming very frightened because I could not understand, and then suddenly, there was singing all around me, voices, many, and many, voices singing praises to God the most beautiful music I'd ever heard! And then I joined in their song, as if I knew that song always, and I really had never heard it before! I remember the joy and beauty of it all as if it happened yesterday! I saw no one, and I didn't go anywhere else, I did not look down and see my body lying on the bed, but I did see part of a giant white wing, and -then-I knew! I became panic-stricken, and I began to fervently pray; I told the being that knew was there and had to be God, that I couldn't die, "Who would take care of my children"?! And then a voice, not heard with my ears, but somehow within my head, said "Don't be afraid, you will not die, you will live, and you will live to be with your children " Love, as I never experienced, and couldn't even imagine, was in that voice And then I was in my body, I did not experience the return, I was just back!
KEVIN'S EXPERIENCE
I would like to share my NDE with you and anybody else who may be interested. My name is Kevni Greenwood I live in, Essex, England.
On the 30th November 1984, me and three mates went fishing on a small boat in the river Thames Estuary. It was extremely cold on that particular day. At approximately 3.30pm, me and one of my mates (Clive) decided to call it a day (we had been fishing since 7.00am) and pull in our fishing rods. All four of us thought it was time to head for home. Clive and I carefully walked up the deck to retrieve the fishing rods. This done, we slowly made our way back to the cabin. Suddenly Clive slipped on the icy deck, he grabbed hold of me - I thought he was joking for a moment, but as we fell of the side of the boat I realised the full implication of what was happening.
What seemed like an age passed (in fact only a spit second) and it took all I had in me to gain control of my senses. This done, I realised because of the water current we were drifting very rapidly away from the boat. Darkness was imminent and my mate Clive (who could not swim) was in a state of shear panic. I tried to hold on to him and calm him, but by now he was completely freaked out - he struggled free, not entirely to my dismay as by now self preservation was in charge. Bless his soul I hope he did not suffer too much. Because of my experience with the sea and water (I was in the merchant navy for 7 years), and being a strong swimmer, I mentally prepared myself for some heavy shit. Staying as calm as possible, I started treading water and steadied my breathing - thinking all the time, I will be saved! I had seen the distress flair go up by one of the other guys on our boat.
After drifting for 15-20 mins, I realised that my location was rapidly changing due to the under water currents and the shit I was in was getting very deep indeed. It was, by now, nightfall and getting extremely dark, I could see lights on both shores as I spun and turned in the water. I seemed to slow down slightly realising that the tide was turning around. This was about 1 hour after falling in - I was completely disoriented and I knew that although help was probably searching for us hypothermia was my biggest threat. So I continued to tread water to generate heat - I also knew it would be a miracle if I lasted more than 1-2 hours in that temperature. A large ship moved past me, some 3-400m away and I shouted for help with everything I had in me - but to no avail. At this point I knew the ship was not going to help or stop. I was thankful its rudder had not sucked me in - I started to cry, I can't quite recall what I was saying to myself, but it was along the lines of "please God, don't let me die, I want to see my Mum and I have got such a lot to do before I go". Then, I went very quiet and serious, slowed my breathing once more and prepared myself for what I thought was inevitably the end. I closed my eyes and after a short while, I started to feel warm and a distant light appeared in my minds eye. This light got slowly bigger and stronger and I began to feel really warm, almost hot. As the light advanced, I let it engulf me with its radiance and felt the feeling of upliftment. I felt no fear, pain or cold. It was very nice, safe and beautiful. At the split second that I was about to enter the white light, something inside me opened my eyes and shouted "NO! not yet! You have things to do". A few moments after the light had gone, a rescue helicopter with search light spotted and focused on me. A small dinghy with a father and son was nearby and urged me to keep shouting so they could pinpoint me - this they did. To cut my story short, they proceeded to help me on board and headed for shore. An ambulance at shore side took me to a hospital, 15 minutes drive away. I noticed the time, it was 9.30pm. I am extremely grateful to whom or whatever saved me, but I am very puzzled by the time-gap. It is as if I lost 2-3 hours, could anybody help me find them?
The event took me a long time to overcome, but since it happened, I have been slowly drawn to all aspects of spiritual matters and would be very interested if anybody could shed some more light on what may or may not have occurred that night. My friend, Clive Merton, perished - but I still feel he is with me at times.
TOM'S EXPERIENCEMy name is Tom and I'm 45 years old. I had an experience back when I was about 10 years old. I didn't tell anyone about it for a long time. I'm not sure why.
I was getting a ride from a friend on the back of his bicycle. He suddenly veered into traffic. I heard the screeching tires of the car behind us. The car hit the bike and catapulted me into the air. I was thrown into the other lane of traffic. As I was in the air I could see another car coming toward me. I thought "I'm going to die" and then I blacked out before hitting the street.
I found myself waiting in front of something that I can only describe as a black curtain. I did not have any physical sensations, but I could think and communicate. I wanted to go behind the curtain, but I had to wait for permission. There were three "people" behind the curtain and they seemed unsure about letting me in. I couldn't see what they looked like, just vague images behind the curtain. Then one of them told me "It's not time yet, go back."
I felt a rushing sensation, then my consciousness changed from what I had just experienced to what I was used to. I heard a car door slam. The driver of the car that hit me got out and asked if I was alright. The oncoming car had stopped in time. I felt a little shaky but otherwise was ok. I don't understand how I was able to hit the pavement without experiencing at least some scrapes or bruises, if not a lot worse.
MJ's EXPERIENCE
I was 19 years old when I had this experience in 1965. I had caught a nasty flu that was nearly epidemic in my town and before I could recover both my parents came down with it. There were just the three of us, so I took over taking care of them--this was flu with high fever, aches, head and chest congestion, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and all the nasties you can get with influenza. By the time my Mom and Dad were feeling almost human I relapsed and was incredibly sick--that's when it happened.
I was too sick to read or watch TV; I was seldom awake, just laying and hurting. I recall that I suddenly felt light as a feather and totally free of discomfort. I noticed that I was looking down at myself: I was laying on my left side, my hair tangled on the pillow, and by the shape of the blanket over me, my knees were drawn up to my abdomen and my hands curled up under my chin. I can recall every detail of that view from the pattern in the blanket, the light blue pillow case, to every tiny detail of myself and the room. Then I noticed that my eyes were closed and it dawned on me that I was seeing myself from above--seeing myself and my eyes were closed! I felt no troubling emotions, just the awareness that I was not inside myself any longer. I remember thinking, "I wonder if I've died?"
A cloudy gray mist formed around me that had sparkling white pin points of light within it and I seemed to float higher and higher when I saw a bright white light in the distance. It grew in brilliance as though I was approaching a star in a night sky, yet it didn't cause any discomfort to my eyes. At the same time I felt a pulling sensation from the light from my navel and also simultaneously I was overcome with the most wondrous emotions of love and joy and acceptance. It was so fantastically joyful, like a long awaited homecoming. I desperately wanted to get into that incredible light. I could not, however, get past the gray mist which had accompanied and surrounded me. It held me back.
The next thing I remember is I'm back in myself, in bed, feeling emotionally uplifted but disappointed to discover I was not dead! I felt a longing for that incredible Light. At that moment I totally lost my fear of death--I KNEW from the experience that death is not an ending, but a return or homecoming to where life begins. While I continued to recover from my flu relapse, I thought about what I'd experienced continually. I didn't want something I treasured to be ridiculed so I never told anyone until just this year when my father left his body and made his transition into the Light.
It was many years after my experience that I discovered the term Near Death Experience. I could personally relate to what I read about them--the Light IS real. We don't really die--our spirits just go home to where we're loved best and wanted most.

Singer and Hollywood superstar Cher has recently admitted that she has used mediums in the past to contact loved ones who have passed over to the other side.
One of those Cher has tried to contact is her ex-husband Sonny Bono, with whom she had one of her early hits "I've Got You Babe". Sonny tragically died in a skiing accident in 1998.

Liz Taylor's Near Death Experience
In 1961, the late, Elizabeth Taylor died following an emergency operation. The doctors told her then husband, Eddie Fisher, that she was losing her battle and slipping away. At one point her heart actually stopped beating and the doctors fought long and hard to re-start it. But the plucky actress made a full recovery from this dreadful ordeal, and brought back with her vivid memories of a her own near death experience.
She revealed to her loved ones that she had been focusing desperately on a hospital light as she felt her life slipping away. The light slowly faded and dimmed like a well-executed theatrical trick and eventually it went to darkness.
'I died. Shall I tell you what it was like? Being down a long, dark tunnel, there was a light at the end and I had to keep looking at that light.' She told how the experience was beautiful but painful too. She remembers hearing voices urging her to come back and later she awoke.
She is not alone in this strange experience as many others have described similar situations and the common link seems to be how peaceful it all was.

30 Yrs After His Death Elvis Still Cures Sick People
Since the death of Elvis in 1977 people from all over the world have visited Gracelands in Memphis. And it's still today one of the most popular tourist attractions worldwide. Some people however, have made the journey for entirely different reasons. It's been said that sick people who have been to the shrine of Elvis Presley, have been cured from their ailments.
It's well documented that Elvis was a deeply spiritual person and throughout his life, his beliefs regarding the afterlife, were well known. One thing that perhaps not so many people knew about Elvis, was that he was reported to have healing powers.
His step brother David Stanley, has told that during a skiing trip to Colorado, one of his aides was said to have taken a dangerous fall and had hurt himself quite badly. Witnesses say he was lying on the ground screaming in pain. Elvis walked over to him, bent down and put both his hands on the aide's legs. Elvis sat there for a few seconds with his eyes closed, focusing on the injury and concentrating on his aide's pain. Suddenly, in great surprise to the rest of the group, the aide said that it didn't hurt anymore. He stood up and walked back to the lodge as if it had never happened. 'You had to see it to believe it,' said David.

Angelica Senses Father's Spirit On Film Set
Model turned Actress Anjelica Houston, otherwise known by her nickname Angel, is mostly known for her more offbeat roles in The Witches and The Addams Family where she played Morticia Addams.
Anjelica was raised by her mother, a Russian ballet dancer who was deeply spiritual and Oscar winning father John Houston, but it was her mother’s influence that opened her to the mystical side of life. Anjelica says about her deceased father ‘I feel he’s still around in spirit’ claiming that not only does she still talk to him in the afterlife, but she gets pretty quick answers from him too ‘I feel his presence all the time’ and has said he’s often with her when she’s on a film set working.
Anjelica’s spiritual beliefs have also lead her to be a great believer in Karma, the belief of a persons actions and conduct being abl

Superstar Tina Annoyed At Smoking Spirit
Superstar Tina Turner was reported as calling in a Psychic Medium, when one of her friendly visitors started to cause her some inconvenience! As the original soul diva, she puts her success and her ability to shine, to looking after herself and staying fit. So, when her friendly, ghostly visitor took to smoking a pipe in her home in Monaco, she was concerned that it might damage her vocal chords. The 69-year-old herself has never smoked and has never permitted anyone else to do so near her, least of all a ghost! Fears of the smoke damaging her voice led her to calling in a friendly ghost buster who told it nicely to go away! She discovered that she had five ghosts taking residence at her Monaco property, including this particular man who enjoyed smoking his pipe. He had lived in a shack on her land nearly 100 years previously. Apparently he was not too happy about the architectural changes that had been made to the property and was voicing his opinion in the only way he knew how!

The Key to Happiness
From the time the Romanies arrived in Britain in the fifteenth century, they protected themselves with a positive attitude. Whatever wasn’t good wasn’t even worth thinking about, and they focused on their search for happiness and talismans forecasting good luck.
The Romanies believe that it’s extremely luck to find a key. It means that you will soon be opening a door to success in love, marriage, or work, or even something very specific, such as getting a new car. No matter what form happiness is guaranteed.
But the good news is that you can still harness the good luck of a key without finding one by taking your own personal key and carrying out the following ritual:
With the key at hand, light a white candle. On a piece of paper, draw a door that will open to your wish.
Pour some candle wax on the drawing of the door and place the key in the wax, to weld the two together. Let the wax cool. Fold the paper around the key to form a neat envelope or parcel. Generously seal all the edges with more wax from the candle. Blow out the candle.
At night, toss the parcel into a fire, imagining as vividly as possible the door you are passing through. Pour all your energies into the flames and visual your wish being sent out into the universe. The spell has been cast. Don't dwell on your wish, because such thoughts drag it back to earth and sap its energy. Have faith. Believe in the spell and it may come into being in the strangest of ways!
