Alison Stead - Spiritual Medium

Ethical Mediumship ...

Is of great importance, because when we are working with and for Spirit, we are their voice, and their bridge to and for their loved-ones.
Amongst other things - to me at least, this includes the following:

1) When someone books in for a Spirit (Mediumship) Reading with a Medium, this is what they should receive - communication from Spirit, rather than a Psychic Reading given in the guise of coming from Spirit when it does not.

It is fine to offer Psychic Readings, just do not portray them as coming from Spirit when they are not. The information coming forward will be different, both in nature and the way it is delivered.

2) If the Medium is not able to make or maintain a genuine connection with Spirit during a Reading, then they should be upfront and honest about this with their client during the Reading, and to handle the situation in a professional manner.

It must be said - not being able to make or maintain a connection to Spirit is not the same as not making a connection with a specific Spirit person at all. While a client may wish to hear from a particular Spirit, no Medium can guarantee to do this.

3) No Medium worth their salt will randomly reach out to say they have a message for you; nor should a Medium ask you directly to book in for a Reading with them. Certainly they should not say you have a Spirit with you - that is a big no no!!

As Mediums are only able to connect with the Spirit people that step forward, so too, should a Medium only offer a Reading to someone after they have been asked to do so. 'Leaky' or random Mediumship is not good practice and serves no one.

Have you ever come across a Medium you feel was not working ethically?

Looking forward to and getting ready and organised for my Book Launch this evening!!

Excited, proud, nervous, happy, busy ... feeling all the feels today!!
Thank you to everyone who is coming along, and who has bought my little book so far, and if you have left a review if you've read it!!

Speaking of Reviews, it has some really good ones, and it even managed to reach the in Spiritual Communication!!

'Great little book. Easy to read. Short chapters and all on point. Couldn’t put it down and it is a book I will keep referring to.'

'Honestly a wonderfully informative book! It's authentic and written from the heart which comes across beautifully. As well as helping those interested in developing this would be a lovely resource for anyone grieving and wondering about their loved ones in spirit xx'

Recently, spent a lovely ...

Evening at a Wedding reception recently!!

Yes I was a guest, but not the usual kind of Wedding guest, as I didn't know the Bride and Groom at all!! (& No, I hadn't gatecrashed!!)

Instead, I was invited as a guest Medium, having been engaged to offer Private Readings to the couple's real guests!!

It was an absolutely lovely evening, and I loved it 🥰

As it happens, I didn't stop giving Readings all the time I was there ... bizarrely, there was literally a queue most of the night 😂

Have you ever worked in an unusual setting? 🤔

NEW KiSS Course - Spring/Summer
... Looking forward to the next KiSS Course starting on the 7th May 2026.

This particular course is called 'Looking back to face the future', and will focus on how Spirit communication differs now, to days gone by, using this to inform and develop members' own Mediumship Development.

So that I can dedicate time and energy effectively with everyone, the group will be kept to a small number. The course is suitable for different development levels; and each session is carefully crafted so that everyone gets what they need from the course.

Prior payment via BACS appreciated, or in full on the first session, please where possible. If you would like any further information, feel free to get in touch!!

If you ordered a signed book, I'm posting them out today & they'll be with you soon!!
Your support means the world!! 🎊🎊🎊

Places are available for ...

My next popular Kiss (Keep it Simple Spirit) course, are now open. KiSS courses run in blocks of 6 two hour sessions, held on the first, third and fifth Thursdays of the month. This coming course starts on Thursday May the 7th.

Each course stands alone, though attending subsequent courses helps you to build and progress your Mediumship development, connection, link and relationship with Spirit. While courses are open to all levels, each is run on a 'closed' basis.

Led by Spirit, each course is given a theme and individual sessions are aligned with that theme. The theme given for this up coming course is 'back to the future', and it will focus on traditional Mediumship, and how it differs to modern presentation.

The course is £55, equating to just £9.15 per session ... Further information on the individual sessions will be shared soon. If you would like to join this course, do get in touch with me. We are blessed to meet in the Quaker Meeting Hall, Oakham.

On Saturday the 23rd May, my next workshop - 'Getting Creative with Spirit' will be a fun and interactive day. Open to all levels of development, the day will be practical in nature, and focus on different creative endeavours ...

We will do some encaustic art, inspired speech/writing. We will be working with 'layering' - where we revisit the same piece throughout the day, as Spirit build the picture in layers, which often gives beautiful luminous quality.

All materials are provided, including refreshments throughout the day, but please do bring your lunch. For more details and to book your place, head to my Linktree which you will find in my bio ... This full day workshop is just £60. Held in Oakham

I look forward to working with you and supporting your development!!

A completely ...

Different style of writing for me!! Some of you may know, that I am a member of a Shakespeare study group. Recently we started studying and analysing his Sonnets, of which there are a hundred and fifty four.

A Sonnet is made up a block of 14 lines, with each line having 10 syllables. Twelve of the lines must read as three complete sentences, each having four lines. The final two lines must rhyme; creating what is known as a rhyming couplet.

We were challenged to each write a Sonnet of our own ... When I started to write mine, I had no idea what it would be about. I wrote it pretty quickly, concentrating more on getting the form right, rather than the content; not reading until finished.

I was quite surprised by the result ... I wonder if I had a bit of help from someone, lol?!! 🤔👻🤭

Do you prefer poetry or prose?

As you may have noticed ...

My first solo book 'The Little Book of Spirit Whispers: Brining Peace from the Other Side' was published three days ago ... something I am enormously proud of and which is a lifelong ambition achieved 🎊💜🥰💜🎊

Pulished under the imprint of Turquoise Tiger Press, my book is (unsurprisingly) about Spirit and the Spirit World - rather than my own journey to being and becoming a Medium. People often have questions or unfounded fears about Spirit and the Spirit world, and this little book helps address those questions and fears.

My little book is already finding it's way to people who need it, and the first reviews it has received are absolutely lovely, and really warm my heart. It's truly doing what it says on the cover: Brining Peace of Mind from the Other Side.

As I type this on Sunday morning the 12th of April, at nearly 8.30am, I can't believe the stats: Best Sellers Rank: 12,111 in Books (See Top 100 in Books); 2 in Spirit Communication; 3 in Spiritual Gifts (Books); 7 in Christian Mysticism. Incredible!!

I know that it's already on it's way to people in the UK, Spain, USA and Australia. If you happen to treat yourself to a copy (it's only £6.99), I really do think you'll enjoy it ... and if you are able to, please do leave me a review - You can find the link in my bio🙂

With love, gratitude and Brightest Blessings, Alison 📚📖 📚###

Pull the other one!!

On this occasion, no ... One will suffice and do very nicely, thank you!!
A one card pull is for when you just need a little nod to what's going on for you, the times when some affirmation & intuitive interpretation is just what's needed.

Nothing complicated. Just a simple but helpful and supportive message, designed to give you confidence and clarity. Emailed to you within a set time frame; Spirit will be there if they choose, but this is not to be viewed as Spirit link per say.

Something you just read and digest at your leisure ... Accessibly priced at £12

'The Little Book of Spirit Whispers', written by Alison Stead, is an easy to understand book about Spirit, Spirit communication and the Spirit World.

This coming Thursday (9th April) Rutland Spiritual Centre looks forward to welcoming both Cherry Smith and Mike Ryan for our Evening of Mediumship this month.

Cherry write and share her beautiful, inspirational and evidential poetry (which is gifted to her by Spirit) and which she will then give to the person the poem is intended for.

While Cherry composes her poetry, Mike Ryan will link with Spirit to share their messages, before handing over to Cherry who will read and distribute her beautiful poetry.

Both these Mediums have been with us a few times, and we know we are in for a lovely evening - we do hope you will join us, and who knows, you may receive a message/poem from a loved-one!!

Our doors will be open from 7pm, for a prompt start at 7.30pm.
Entrance is just £5, which includes refreshments and Lucky Tickets.
The demonstration ends about 9pm, when refreshments are served.

*With grateful thanks to Oakham Quaker Meeting, who allow us to share their lovely Meeting Hall, whilst implying no affiliation to us*
