Witches School: Chapter 1

At some point early on, I took a mediumship class with Elizabeth Anglin. It was over the phone. Like so many things that happened then, I can't remember a lot of the details. It was a good class, though, and the number one thing I learned was that I needed to listen and understand the messages.

The last part of each class, we would practice giving each other messages, guided by Elizabeth. I never felt confident and she would say, "Go ahead, Michelle. You've got this." And I would give a good message but I felt like I was just winging it. I've been working on that since because I need the practice and because it's important. I'm often totally wrong but quite often right in very telling ways.

I've been learning to trust my instincts and give people messages when it feels right. Sometimes it's the wrong time for them to hear the message so I wait. I also try to deliver messages in a positive way and offer positive solutions.

I have been doing social media since starting my first blog, Live and Learn New Mexico! I share stories about our look at A.R.T. on Albuquerque's Route 66 and other things happening around the state. I've slowly built an audience and at some point started putting out daily messages that promote a kind lifestyle.

Just for fun, I began to post the tarot cards that I drew almost every day and their interpretations. I felt like many of the messages applied to my readers. Funnily enough, it was my tarot readings that seemed to speak to people the most.

One day I was at the local laundromat and I noticed a man across the room who looked familiar. He was a deejay at my favorite morning radio show. I listened to him every morning with my other two favorite deejays. They were a great team and made my weekday mornings a little pleasanter.

Over the last five years or so, I have regularly emailed them with a morning greeting or I remark about something they say on the show.

When this particular deejay started his own informational show on Sunday mornings, I listened and gave him feedback. We have an informal, friendly relationship.

That day, I walked over and introduced myself. When he heard my last name and realized who I was, one of the first questions he asked me was how I went about reading my tarot cards.

I was a little surprised but that's when I started to realize that maybe people out there were finding meaning in what I thought were just fun posts. I now pay more attention, again, to the messages and put a little more thought into my posts, hoping that they help someone heal in some way.

I am hoping to take another class with Elizabeth soon. I will let you know. Till next time. Peace.
