1st Try Reading a Photo - I Bombed

[Ravens_Light]

Hello All!

I'm back on the forum after a long absence, so I posted what I've been up to in the Welcome thread. :)

Presently I'm working on my further developing my clairs as well as my connection to spirit and tried my hand at reading a photo (of someone who's passed) to see what I might be able to pick up. This was my very first time attempting this.

Well, I couldn't have been more 'off'. Like unbelievably.

What concerns me is not that I didn't connect, but that I had info & images come to me that clearly weren't from spirit.. This, even tho' I'd cleared, grounded & was meditating for quite a bit, and felt like I my energy was in the right place.

What was this? My ego? Hypnogogic images? If I couldn't connect I would expect to get nothing... not thoughts & images of my own.

I just really wonder what happened here.

Anyone have any thoughts or who might be able to share an experience they had that was similar?

Thanks in advance!

Blessings!

Hi Ravens Light,

Welcome back to the forum, its a pleasure to meet you.


Do you use tarot cards? I do ancestry readings with tarot every now and than. It helps me a bit to narrow down unwanted thoughts. It also helps validate some images that come to mind.

I find oracle cards are also good to use for ancestry readings

Hi Clover!

Thank you for warm welcome back.. :)

Yes, I use tarot cards & have used oracle cards in the past ~ all with great success.

This is a wonderful idea to help with unwanted thoughts. I hadn't even considered it as a way to validate the images I receive as well ~ thank you!

In thinking on it more, I wondered if maybe I was picking up on a totally different spirit.

Have you ever intended on connecting with a certain spirit and heard from a totally different one?

Thank you for your wonderful suggestions!

Hi, which kind of book or website could I read that would help me to understand how to do ancestry readings with tarot?

I suggest you try posting your question in a Tarot forum and/or on a Tarot speciality website.

Hi Bobjob :)

Thank you for the suggestion. I could but my thread isn't really tarot related. I was trying to connect with a spirit via a photograph. Tarot cards came up in the thread as a suggested way to help me clarify the energy coming thru. I could post another thread asking about how to use tarot when reading a photo tho', which I might do.

My purpose in posting was to find out what 'came thru' when I read the photo as it wasn't the spirit I was attempting to connect with.

Thanks kindly for the suggestion!

Ah, I think I see.....

May I ask what you understand about communication with discarnates? I don't follow what you meant by "ancestry" but if you're meaning linking with earlier generations of your family then then same 'rules' apply as to any attempts at trans-dimensional communication.
