'ME'

Hi everyone, here is a little bit about 'who I am' and 'what I do' (love or loathe, you decide) ...

 I have been a witch ALL of my life and a practicing 'solitary' for over 20yrs. After my first personal experience of 'Spontaneous Pastlife Regression' 18yrs ago I researched the details of my recall extensively and eventually wrote a book about the experience called 'The Cornish Burning' which is now available to buy from my website;

and hpefully here too (in ebook format), very soon so look out for it !

This experience had such a profound effect on me (in a positive way), that I wanted to help others feel the benefits of PLR themselves, so I studied psychology and hypnotherapy to understand the workings of the human mind more thoroughly and discover how and why these episodes seem to be happening to people from all walks of life ... all around the world, with progressive regularity.

As a result of my studies I became a Registered Stress Consultant ... Pastlife Regression Therapist ... and Tutor of Healing Meditation.

I developed a method of regressing people that does not use hypnosis. I believe that it is all too easy (from a therapists perspective), to inadvertantly plant a suggestion when the client is hypnotized and this can taint the whole recall (which defeats the object somewhat). I have regressed hundreds of people over the years with my non-hypnotic method and I find that it not only produces 'cleaner' recall, but more detailed results too. Another benefit of this method is the fact that it takes away the anxiety factor that some people have about the prospect of being hypnotized. Plus the client has total recall of what they have said during the session (they don't have to rely on listening to a sesion-tape or what the therapist tells them they said). 

Besides the above I have read the Tarot for more than 20yrs and have (in the past), worked for Russell Grant as a 'reader' on his Live Psychic Tarot Line. Other work commitments meant that I couldn't really commit that much time to Russell's phone readings and because I'd always worked for myself, I found it very difficult to stick to a rigid time-set of 20mins per reading ... I don't like rushing through my work and certainly don't want my clients to feel like they are on a production line !

Whether someone comes to see me for PLRT ... a Tarot Reading ... Spiritual or Pagan Advise, they all get treated as individuals and I always make sure there is plenty of time during their session for them to ask all the questions they might have. Therefore a 30min Tarot Reading might turn into a 90min therapy/advise/counselling session if that is what the client needs (at no extra charge). I know that may be poor business practise ... but that's the only way I can work (I'm never going to be rich or win a 'business-woman of the year' award. lol). I know it sounds 'cheezy' but I get a genuine buzz out of sharing my knowledge / gifts / wisdom (call it what you will), and seeing the results in my clients faces.

Besides my work as a therapist (and because of my lifelong experiences with the paranormal), I also add Ghost Hunting & Spirit Rescue to the list (on an amateur level as I've never trained convensionally for this). I often get asked to peoples homes/public-houses etc. to help them with problem spirits and other haunting senarios (it gets me out of the office and gets the adrenalin pumping ... so I see it as a kind of 'work-out').

My Website Persona

(A Short Rant);

 There's one thing that makes me really angry and that is the number of charlatans and drama-queens who crop-up in this line of work !

  The Charlatans; The ones who jump on the so called New-Age bandwagon because they feel there is big money to be made out of vunerable and gullible people.

Two points here

1. New-Age is something of a misleading term IMO, because the majority of things that come under this umberella are very ancient practices that have been revived an maybe modified for the present day.

2. Vunerable / Gullible ... the rip-off merchants who make ridiculous amounts of money out of people seeking solace (shame on you), they talk the talk but have no intention of walking it. Unfortunately, the charlatans cause as much damage to the genuine practioners in this field as they do to the poor souls who seek assistance and answers.

•  The Drama-Queens; I refer to this as 'The Biggest Pentagram Syndrome'  ... when I see these people in full flight all I can say is WHY ? ? ?

I'm referring of course to the flamboyant people in this field who do everything within their power to maintain an air of great mystery as a way to either stroke their own ego's and make themseves feel 'special' or 'chosen' ... or to create a facade/illusion that they are somehow superior to the 'man / woman on the street'.

They are a joke !

As a witch I 'know' that magick exists ... and I also know that this is something that is accessible to everyone who seeks it out (and that search should not cost them an arm and a leg). This is what prompted me to create my website ... a place that is open to all but designed specifically with the newcomer in mind. Where they can discover the reality behind the elaborate mystery promoted by the self-appointed elite.

I'm sure this page will get under the skin of some readers ... well, that's tough !

I experience the paranormal on a daily basis ... but I am also a very grounded person. I never accept anything of this nature at face value because quite often there is a logical explanation for even some of the most convincing episodes. But when all the mundane explanations have been ruled out and we are still left with something unexplainable ... then and only then can we accept something as paranormal.

To the 'seekers' ... I am not unique in any way, shape or form. There are many, many genuine people out there who love helping people and setting them off on their own personal paths of spiritual discovery and psychic development. But always keep your wits about you ... look-out for the charlatans ... and keep the drama-queens at arms length.

 Love, Light & Bright Blessings. Woody
