    I've never been to one, but you ask how accurate they are, for me, it depends on how desperate the visitor is to believe.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 62 ✭✭miss dakota


    hi its debatable but I know this theres a lot of scammers out there! out of about 15 readings ive had through the years only two of them were genuine! but id estimate theres only 5 genuine mediums in Ireland over all:o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,398 ✭✭✭whatdoicare


    My friend was told by one of the big name psychics that she'd never be married and that she'd end up in a messy relationship with a married man and have twins for him -
    She's married a year and a half now to a wonderful guy. So, I wouldn't take any notice of anything they say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 62 ✭✭miss dakota


    Hi i understand ur opinion, but there are a handfull of gifted psychics/mediums out there, some of them are booked up 4 donkeys yrs glad ur friend had a happy ending, I do agree some of them e.g Joe Gough say terrible things though :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 98 ✭✭IrishPsychic


    I don't understand how some Psychics can say such things with regarding people ie You will never be married this is not right and as a Psychic myself I have never ever given information like this to anyone and nor would I receive information like this when I do my readings. It would be like going to a Doctor and him saying I am so happy you came to me I can see you have a disease that seriously for the rest of your life you will never be happy...This is just not right and although when I get information it may not be what the person might want to hear I will pass it on and I will say it in a way that they will understand where I am coming from but we can all change the path we want to choose I certainly have and no Psychic could tell me the Path I was going to take I decided to take it myself and likewise to everyone else.
    I am very happy with my readings and so are the people who receive them as I am honest - caring and most importantly I understand what people are going through as it is Life Experience sometimes and again I do have to repeat if you are coming to a Psychic to find out how your health will be please go and see a Doctor first as we cannot give medical advice although we can pick up ailments etc we cannot cure them that is for a Doctor and a Specialist etc so rather then pay X amount of money to find out about your Health again spend it on the Doctor first and then if you like have a Psychic reading etc. I give free readings away daily on my page and to me that is what keeps me going as I love what I do and I am thankful I have this gift to share with others...Irish-Psychic

    Im not sure how accurate that psychics are but when youre at a low point, they often give a bit of hope.

    I heard some good things about a guy called chris in clarinbridge - dont suppose anyone has his number??

    I am a reader and I have read over 600 people and I often wonder sometimes if people make what you give fit in there lives but most of the stuff I pick up is the movie they justed watched the dreams they just dreamed parts of their body they have hurt their past life and their actuall memories and thoughts. So am I a psychic or a seer or a medium. I am really just a helper and I make many people very happy with my reads. Rick

    I am not here to read just to discuss what I have done.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7 Rick Waid


    I can answer many questions about reading people. I have worked with many so called mediums and psychics and I really know how it works.

    so basically you are saying that if I see corrie on the box before I see you thats what you pick up, that I was one of those characters. that to me isn't a reader but a bluffer. I don't need some one to make me happy, I'm not a child I can deal with the REAL life, and I am far from a dope that will believe anything, make people happy tell them the truth and repeat what you just printed to them then see will they part with their 50 to 80 euros in theses hard times :mad::mad::mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7 Rick Waid


    I do not charge Carrie. I listen to what people have to say after my reads. No need to charge when I am not really giving anything but what they already know. It justs helps to have a person to talk to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6 mika.atonio


    Does anyone have a number for Chris in Kilcolgan Co Galway?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 438 ✭✭sunshiner


    went to see peter matthew last year and annette singleton, they both seemed nice enough, but im waiting for some these predictions to come true. :rolleyes:

    Carrie12 who in your experience did you find the most accurate?and their predictions have come true?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6 MADAM X


    hi i have to say ive had a few readings from mediums and some i found told me rubbish yet happy to take their money.but ive had readings done with two that i found spot on with stuff .the only problem i have with having a reading done is the prices charged.its cash in hand and no reciept they charge what they like and do they even pay taxes? on these high charges.if its a gift then y charge so much?10euros per person per hour should be enough.not 40 50 etc.i dont even make that kind of money at work, what they take in from multi readings in part of a day at those prices.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,592 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    Can't see what difference it makes,if it's going to happen anyway presumably you can't change it.I think if people could know the future most would choose not to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,400 ✭✭✭lukesmom


    Only ever found 1 100% accurate and I've been to three in total

    1 out of 3 100% accurate Lukesmom? Blimey I'd say that's a great result.

    Im not sure if there has been any analysis/research done, but I'm sure there's lots of charlatans, but I'd love to be sure that some are genuine, I really want to believe that there are.

    I've never been to one. I'm reluctant to, and I'm not exactly sure why. Catholic hang-up probably.

    What amount of info were u given in the 100% reading? Was it lots of specific info and totally convincing, and facts that only you could know?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,592 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    Is the appeal of it being told some good news?

    I have been to one psychic and i was a sceptic going but i felt compelled to go for weeks so i finally went just to put my mind at rest and since then iv learnt a LOT about the power of the conscious mind.
    She told me she was going to connect with me by looking at my past.
    She told me i had injured my hand badly twice.Correct
    She told me my house was surrounded by horses as a child.Correct
    She told me i lived with a woman who had two children.Correct
    She told me a was driving a white van.Correct
    She told me a few more details that could have been guessed(common stuff)
    I didnt talk to her so how would she know these details about my life.
    She may me good at guessing.
    She may have been following and spying on me all my life.

    She also told me accurate details of what my son was doing at the time of the reading.
    The Future.....She told me i would get a large amount of money from a will and im glad to say she was correct:D
    She predicted three other events to happen over the next year which im not too bothered about because what she showed me was the power of the conscious and unconscious mind/spirit and it opened me up to a whole new world.

    Theres no way of knowing without being there in fairness.I understand how it may be a moving experience though.Even if she did know your past and future how does it change your life?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,592 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    Its not that specifically for me Kneemos, proof of some sort of after-life would be good/fantastic.

    So if a psychic tells you about a dead relative you don't need to go see them again presumably.

    Probably not Kneemoss. It's not something that I would do on a regular basis.

    If I had a very convincing reading I don't think that I would feel the need to go back.

    But I've never been, and because I see so many mixed reports, a visit to a medium is not something that I'd be inclined to do.

    I can totally understand why someone would want to visit if they have lost a loved one and are very upset.

    You havent explained to me how she knew the details about my life.
    You said in a previous post that their accuracy is directly proportional to the amount of information you give them.I didnt give her any information.

    The experience changed my life because it prooved to me that this is a LOT more to us than what science can explain and iv had plenty of other experiences with the subconcious/spirit since, because i got curious and i looked deeper after meeting her.

    .

    If you went to one,then at least you would have some experience and would be able to make your OWN decision and not be influenced by the sceptics that have no experience but are sure they know how everything works because they have read it in a book.Life is about experiencing things and not everything has been explained.(yet)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,562 ✭✭✭eyescreamcone


    Belief in any supernatural, psychic reading, astrology etc is ALL makey uppy.
    No truth whatsoever to it.
    Anyone who believes in it is an imbecile and deserves to be laughed at.

    If the psychics are so damn good, why don't they win the lotto every week??
    They knew I'd ask that though, didn't they? ;)

    Yes there is a lot more to life than science can explain - that is why we keep on engaging in scientific research - this will continue to increase our knowledge of FACTS!!!

    Gillad, who said I was being influenced by spectics? I assure you I am not. I make my own decisions.

    Science wont get all the FACTS!!! with a closed mind (like yours).Quantum Physics will prove that we are more than physical.
    Calling people inbeciles is childish and not very scientific but maybe you are a child,so thats ok if you are.

    im still waiting for your scientific explaination on my experience with the psychic

    You hav'ent explained why it matters to you.Even assuming these people can read your future you still don't know how it works,but yet your attributing subconscence spirits to it and other people are looking for proof of an afterlife,there may be a simple scientific explanation for it.

    Im not a psychic , but I am a medium , and ill tell you why I dont win the lotto every week ... whilst i might be in receipt of information that might be of use to you , I have never been given anything that might be of use to myself !!!!

    You`ve got me wrong.I know exactly how it works but it takes a LOT! of time to take in the information and process it.It took me 7 months,24/7 to make sense of everything that happened.It wasnt just the Psychic.There was a Shaman,a woman who connected with my higher self(she really amazed me)and a very powerful Buddhist monk.
    Im pointing out one experience that i had and hoping it may open some people up a bit to what we really are,which is energetic conscious spirits having an experience in a physical body and when the body dies,off we go again.

    I respect everyones beliefs but when(uninformed) people knock mine and others peoples beliefs i will try to show them a bit of this other world(which is right in front of you) and they can take it or leave it.

    Not knocking your beliefs ,everybody knows there are chancers claiming to be psychics.What are these experiences you've had,and did you learn anything of interest?

    Iv only been to one so i cant comment on chancers claiming to be psychics,but i believe you are correct.
    What i have learnt is that its usually the client who is the problem and not the psychic.
    Think of everything you have done and thought about and the thoughts and deeds of those around you all your life.These are all stored in the Higher mind(which is at a Quantum level and will be prooved to exist,maybe by the research at CERN). The psychic can access this information by connecting to your Higher mind and tell you what has happened and what is happening.The future has not happened and NO Psychic can predict the future.They can see possibilities and potentials based on what you`v done,what you are doing now and what you really want and this is what they tell you.
    If you have a lot of choises in life,if you are impulsive or flighty then the possibilities will be greater making it harder for the Psychic to see which road you are on.
    If you know what you want in life but those around you are impulsive or indecisive then they can change the potentials and these are the reasons that readings dont come true.You are being told what is likely to happen based on the energies/emotions around you at the time of the reading.
    The more connected you are to your spirit/higher mind,the easier it is for the Psychic to access it because the path will already be open for them.

    Iv also learned about Energy(chi/Qi)which is Quantum.It is the foundation of all psychic gifts and i can access this myself now because of what iv done and learnt since i visited the psychic

    I can use it for Healing but I`m new to this so i keep it for myself for the moment because at this energetic level it is easy for me to pick up Energies/Emotions off people which i then have to dispose of and its not nice getting rid of it.
    I also have the option of bringing this into the world of science to be examined but this has been done before and ignored because it cant be seen or measured but it definetly can be felt.
    Information falls into my lap and life is effortless and enjoyable no matter what i do.Problems and Drama have very little effect on me now.
    I use this for personal bliss.Its like a natural Heroin high(iv never tried H so im just going on the description)
    Its a bit like this:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)when i relax


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,592 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    Hope you don't mind the questions but what do you mean "information falls into your lap"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 368 ✭✭gillad


    Whatever i need to know just seems to pop up in front of me and makes life so easy and effortless...Anything from shopping to questions about the meaning of life.
    Its the Energy that the Yogis in the east are experiencing when they go into meditations for weeks on end with very little food and water.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 714 ✭✭✭feelgoodinc27


    What I don't understand is why people pay to have their futures read. I know a previous poster said that readings are of possible futures, but I remember my cousin and a few of her friends talking about paying €60 for a reading of their future (as opposed to possible futures).

    Its not magic,Its available to everyone who wants it.
    Start with 15 mins of meditation each day,you may only get 3/4 minutes altogether of quiet time but this is enough to start to make a connection to the Higher mind and once connected it will guide you if you follow your intuition and exitement:)
