Popular British medium Sally Morgan is still under fire in the tabloid media:

 Sally Morgan rejects Halloween challenge to prove her psychic powers
Sally Morgan, the TV clairvoyant who styles herself as "Britain's best-loved psychic", has turned down an invitation to prove her supernatural powers on Monday.
Morgan, who claims to converse with the spirit world in sellout shows across the country, was asked to demonstrate her abilities in a Halloween challenge laid down by sceptics in Liverpool.
Morgan's lawyers, Atkins Thomson, emailed the science writer Simon Singh, who organised the scientific test of her powers, to make clear that she would not take up the challenge.

Much loved British music figure and afterlife believer dies

From the Sydney Morning Herald  

Veteran British broadcaster Jimmy Savile, a famously eccentric culture figure, has died at his home in northern England aged 84.

Savile, known for his garish tracksuits, chunky gold jewellery and boundless enthusiasm for pop music and charity work, was the host of two long-running British television programs and claimed to have been a longtime confidant to Prince Charles and ex-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
Rarely seen without his trademark large cigar, Savile had initially worked in a coal mine as a teenager before embracing music and built a national profile as a disc jockey - first in Britain's dance halls and later on radio, including the renowned Radio Luxembourg.
                                           ******************************

Probably less well known is that Sir Jimmy Saville OBE often spoke of the messages he received from his beloved mother Agnes Monica Saville. 

Jimmy and his mother were extemely close and for quite a long time after Agnes died Jimmy was fairly distraught. But as time went on he spoke of the joy of how he and she communicated every single day with sometimes Agnes giving Jimmy some well neeeded advice.

In an interview in 1984 on BBC radio, Sir Jimmy said :"I never step outside my front door without having a good chat with Mum on the otherside and getting some advice from her"

Amazing story of 11-year-old London girl who 'levitated' above her bed

What IS the truth about the Enfield Poltergeist? 

Amazing story of 11-year-old London girl who 'levitated' above her bed

The rasping male voice sent a chill through the room. Hauntingly, it delivered a message from beyond the grave, describing in graphic detail the moment of death.
‘Just before I died, I went blind, and then I had an ’aemorrhage and I fell asleep and I died in the chair in the corner downstairs.’
The eerie voice — which can still be heard on audio tapes today — is purportedly that of Bill Wilkins. The recording was made in Enfield, North London, in the Seventies, several years after his death.

The controversy surrounding physical medium David Thompson

If anyone has had the rare privilege (as this writer has twice) to sit in a circle with a physical medium and witnessed materialisations, they will know that it is probably the most fascinating and exciting experience. It is an experience that many Spiritualists aspire to.

Recently a controversy has arisen over the well known medium David Thompson. 

Enmore reserves an open mind not knowing or having met with Thompson but knowing some of the personalities involved who have sat with him. One Spiritualist who we respect highly wasn't impressed at a recent sitting in the UK.

Another-who we greatly respect was most enthusiastic about David.

The new Spiritualist publication Spirit of SN carries an interview with David which can be read here.

It is up to each individual to decide what they wish to believe but Thompson gives a good account of himself in the interview.

One comment he made in his interview that was a source of great amusement amongst a group of us just a few nights ago was this :

"When my physical mediumship started, William warned there would be times when people would ridicule me and that most of the ridicule would come from within the Spiritualist movement."

Never were truer words said !.

Hopefully one day, we at Enmore may have the privilege of sitting with David Thompson in order to make up our own minds.

In the meantime-keep an open mind  !

Thought for the day...

"There's no softer pillow when you sleep at night, as when you have no conscience."

The amazing Joe Power

Time to take another look at Joe Power sometimes billed as the 'city psychic'. Joe wanders the streets and gives cold reading to strangers who are often delighted and amazed at Joe's accuracy.

Poetry and Spiritualism

Anyone who was a regular visitor to the Enmore Spiritualist Church over 10 years ago will remember with great affection, the late Maureen Garth a medium who worked tirelessly for the Church and Spiritualism.

Maureen wrote books of poetry and books with meditations for children (more on that later) which were well received.

A friend of Maureen's sent a copy of her book to HRH Princess Diana and Maureen was delighted and surprised to eventually receive a personal letter from Princess Diana thanking her and saying she had used her meditations and read poetry to the then young Princes Harry & William to great effect!
.

Now a new book with poetry has been published by David Cridland,
The Three Temples Inevitably and it's a beautiful book that is highly recommended. In his words:

"This books aim is to allow one to experience deep contentment, and learn to maintain or regain it at will, to the point of needing less. It can be felt with or without an attunement which can be received either through spirit or a qualified Rei-Ki master. The nine pointed star is drawn in the aura about a foot above the head and when there can sometimes be felt or even seen by people who can see aura’s well."
