Hi everyone, I got pointed this way by a friend from a poker forum here and thought I woiuld drop by. Im gillian and a psychic/tarot reader from donegal. I hope to find more out about my own gifts and practise reading if thats allowed.

Ziycon

Anywhere near Gwedore or Anagrey, sorry just curious as i'm always around those areas?

Gillybean72

Im In Letterkenny which I suppose is a hub to get to most parts of Donegal, I think Gweedore is under an hour away anyway.

I only charge when I am live lol! I like to practise though. Thats why I am not mentioning where I work for pay Got to keep the grey matter flowing and sometimes I take reading breaks where I just do practise readings to keep the energy flowing.

Hi there

Welcome to the forum, hope you find much to think about/discuss here.

You mention you're trying to find out more about your own gifts, I would be in a similiar position myself so would be very interested to hear how you're going about tapping into/finetuning these abilities

I will do a bit more about my self once the weekend is over and hopefully assist you with some ideas to learn. I have taught three students so far and myself and another psychic are opening a psychic school in sept.
I teach cold reading and mediumship, but assist with tarot too as a tool.

Hi Gillian, welcome to the forum, Im still a newbie myself. I look forward to talking to you in the future, seeing what way we can help each other, good luck with the school.Ireland needs more venues to learn at.

You know, we will get something going soon enough,just today i had a meeting with some other spiritualists as we are trying to find somewhere we can practice and improve our skills.......would really love a spiritual "home", im calling it this as opposed to a church, we really need somewhere the public can go to and be shown proof of life on the other side,were teachings can go on ect.........Ireland is becoming quite an open country and we will see big changes over the next few years.......im quite excited about it all. At present were using the cafe for things and hopefully ,in time, this will expand.........

Oh come on! Does no one else find it interesting that the OP has stated (s)he teaches "cold reading and mediumship"?!

Cold reading is the skill of pretending to have psychic powers.

6th

Yes its odd but maybe the OP has a different meaning for the term?

Hi GillCarr, could you expand on what you mean by "teaching cold reading"?

Didn't pay much attention to that comment, but I would like to hear what your meaning for Cold Readings are and I would hope that they are not to the difinition of the above link.

Hmmmmm..........didnt notice,just goes to show we read ONLY what we want, I would however like to hear the verdict on this one,what exactly is meant by this persons version of cold reading, then i will judge.

Heres hoping itd positive rather than making a mockery of psychic skills but lets give this person a chance to reply.,

The reason I use my cards is because people like to see something, although I use them too, if that makes sense.!

Actually its not, I meant it as the fact that you can read something without the aid of cards etc, and if you cant see the person how is yous statement true?
but im not here to argue with you, its up to you what you think

Hi GillCarr, could you expand on what you mean by "teaching cold reading"?

When I said I teach it, it means I am teaching new readers to use intuition and spirit guides to assist in readings rather than always using a tool as cards, runes or whatever means you use.

I help them tune in and listen to there guides. Its not something people pay for so its really nothing I have to justify on a board.
Not being hateful, but didnt like the reples and the way it was put.

So as I pointed out.... after reading your link, I must be blooming good to obtain this info online without seeing them???? wow I should charge more!

Google isnt always a great thing to use, you should have ASKED what I meant before you jumped to this conclusion???

There is no big deal saying I teach... not a hanging offense is it!
I teach free and I do it to bring more psychics into circulation, I found I had a gift of drawing their abilities out of them.

Well spotted? please read the replies from me, as I read online so it doesnt apply.

Gill they can hardly be blamed for the reaction. Cold Reading has a very well know meaning in the real world Google doesnt come into it.

kshiel

Clearly your meaning for the term "Cold Reading" differs from the one in the link or what some people term it as. I dont think people were judging you only that they wanted to hear what your understanding of this term means. I have only recently started to read for friends etc to practice and dont use cards and find it a good way for me and if your gifts involve teaching this I wish you the best of luck and every sucess with it.

ladybirdirl

Is this not all a bit harsh - the person comes on here, is honest about what she does -seems to be that it's just another tool for reading,not one I'm very familiar with

They should have asked for an explaination rather than jumping on me though. the first comment would have been sufficient without others jumping in..

Yes, I understand but they should as I said to 6th . asked me what I emant instead of jumping to conclusions, I thought I stated I did alot of work online which would obviousley mean I couldnt use reactions etc,,

I would just like to point out, in a non argumentative way, that I did not even mention your teaching in my small reply,in fact, i actually said you should be given a chance to explain your term on cold reading,teaching is most certainly not a hanging offence, I do it myself.
Please re read my comment and you will find i did not jump on you at all,merely stated my opinion.
I am a spiritualist by nature and follow my path to the best of my ability and never knock another for the path they follow,that is not why i am here, it is unfortunate that you have been upset by comments but please understand there are a lot of strong opinions here and i dont think its intentional on anyones part to upset or hurt you.Its just the way these boards operate,please continue to post here and let us all enjoy each others company and opinions,let us all learn from each other and if we dont whole heartedly agree with another then thats ok,but lets be considerate in the manner in which we reply. I speak my truth in most of my life, I find its best to be honest.
As established,there was a big difference and mistake made in what everyone thought of cold reading,you have clarified what it means to us now,so lets put it to bed and move on to a calmer subject.
Hope you feel better.

No one jumped to conclusions. If you said "I am a dog walker", is it leaping to a conclusion to believe you are a dog walker? Cold Reading is a very well known term for a technique for convincing people you have psychic powers, I would strongly reccomend you not use this word if you are not such a person.

I agree.

Zillah in particular, I'm pretty unhappy with your behavior here.

I'm getting incredibly tired with the way certain forum veterans are treating other users and I'm coming very close to acting on it.


Welcome Gil, Don't mind Zillah, he's a forum regulars as you are, you don't owe him or any of them any explanation. Come, enjoy the forum and if anyone gives you a hard time, message me about it.

[edit] apologies to 6th, I read your quoted comments before your actual posts.

Thanks I just used the wrong term, know alot of people on other psychic boards that would use that saying too, at least I know\now..

Absolutely no problem.

studier

I would just like to say no matter how gillian describes herself and however much micky you might take out of her for the way in which she describes herself she is actually a fantastic reader with a lot of experience. She has only been reading for a couple of years but her talents are outstanding. I myself have had a couple readings from gillian although i have never met her she has read me 'cold' over the net with only my Date of birth and full name and has been exact with each reading. Mock her if you wish but I think she is one of the best readers i have ever had a reading from. Sometimes however i do believe that people think a reading is not right if it is something that they do not want to hear but this is normally proven to be right when the details materialise over time. Just my thoughts on the issue.

Thanks, although I have had premonitions for years and dreams and never knew where certain ideas came from I knew I had a gift, then a guy who is psychic/medium *found* me on a psychic board and helped train me. we then opened a board ourselves which is doing great as a training ground.

I had been chatting to studier about what happened here, and was amazed she posted that about me!

Although I am newish myself I did say before I seem to have a gift of attracting people to me who have not opened up yet and am able to bring them out etc.

And just a last thing.. I said my name was Gillian, so I am a she not a (s)he!

I did not come here to fight, I came here to develop. And you have very strong opinions but you havent said anything about yourself? what is your interests since you are on a paranormal board?

Great Gillian, yeah, i was being supportive,the role we have hits a lot of brick walls and leaves us open for mockery more often than not.
wow, what a start for you eh, but hey....look on it as a little test sent from spirit huh? I, for one, am looking forward to future conversations with you girl.......your a lovely person with a kind heart and those that dont see that need to work on their own issues first,keep going girl as theres always room in the world for you.

And hey, life is just one test lately, but Im getting there! I dont scare that easy either!

I would just like to echo what Studier said above.

Gillian gave me a reading, all she needed was my name & date of birth. It was incredibly accurate and I was quite surprised how accurate she was considering that we never met!

Gillian, just a quick question, I have been thinking about what you mentioned in relation to property and the male friend. Any chance you can elaborate?
