Traci Bray, BS/MA - Medium

I was thinking about things I do not recall 'seeing' in a mediumship reading. Although I see photographs, I do not recall ever seeing pieces of art such as paintings, sculpture, glass work and the like.

As I think of this, the thought crossing my mind is: Well, that's weird!

Reason: personaly I have a LOT of art in my home. I enjoy perusing it, and as you've noticed here, sometimes I'll use a historical painting for an image. My home collection is mostly collected and framed art from the 1920's- '40's... people, gardens, the US flag, politicians, psychic readers, swallows, trees, and ocean/beach/palm trees.

Art in other forms that DO arise in readings: have included:
-music in many ways from the tune itself, the composer, the orchestra/band/musician playing and lyrics, specific instruments
-landscaping efforts and farm fields - specific descriptions (I think those are artful!)
-fashion styles and designs (from simple handmade garments, to underwear and bras, low-to-high style, and SHOES! plus handbags, belt buckles, ties. Hair styles, cuts and bathing suits included.
-sewing, needlework, shoe-making, Millenary

If you have a memory of a reading you've had with me, that touched on art, feel welcome to share here.

(Note: be sure to read the last paragraph... a wee offer from me to you)...

For the Monday-Friday workers, happy eve to your three day weekend! Looks like for the SE part of the U.S. that it will be rainy and cooler... ruining beach trips for those into the Upper Gulf and SE Atlantic seaboard. Then again, hopefully for those beach folks, and state park go-ers, that they will have alternate plans.

Some of you will be working. Some of you work from home, and of those, may feel as if you're always working. Some of you are retired. Regardless, I hope it is a safe and peaceful weekend for all.

Now, I know that this weekend is NOT about the beach, the sun, the fun. It is Memorial Day weekend. Memorial Day itself is where we honor those who have died while in service to our country. I will write more about this in days to come, so please don't believe that my not doing so here is disrespectful.

Hey, lastly, I will be around the house for the rest of the day... do you have any questions you wish to ask (NOT questions of loved ones passed, particular to you), about my work, me, or how I do the work? I'll check back off and on... NOTE: As of Saturday afternoon, I have responded to any questions posted here, but will not be commenting further on them. Thanks to those who asked questions!!!)...

Recently I read for a woman in her 40's who had a friend purchase a session for her. Actually, there have been three this week that share this experience. One in particular evidently was quite nervous about this experience.

Her Father and brother came through, using their names. I frankly 'still' am stunned when that happens. Yet the awe in this woman's voice was noteworthy. She gasped, and said, "That's my Dad's name." I smiled. Because, it was right there in that gasp, her recognition that, yes, my Dad's spirit continues to live. My Dad is HERE. If he's here, he's with me.

This never ceases to amaze me. I am never bored with it, and do not tire from it. It is an honor.

Yesterday I mentioned that Tuesday evening was the initial episode of Season 7 of the History Channel's Skinwalker Ranch. The day has been incredibly busy for me, and I have not had the opportunity to watch it yet. Tomorrow is another day however.

I participate in a (paid) group called Skinwalker Ranch Insiders which is fabulous. Quite a variety of folks there from around the world made up of a wide array of people from the curious-to-hardcore-scientific minds. I tend to be interested in some offbeat topics such as: cloud formations above the ranch, Weather patterns, psychological effects on team, crew, visitors, etc. including dreams, and the hitch hiker effect, to name but a few. Too I am curious about reactions on the ranch to noteworthy occurrences in our world (political issues, world events, mass shootings or casualty events, again to name a few). There would be so very many topics to research if funds and time were unlimited. Also, I am very interested in medium-contact within the 'triangle' area of the ranch. That is an area heavily laden with misc. unexplained events.

So much to learn out there....

Tonight is the season seven first episode of "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch". I know some of you follow it. I'll watch tomorrow as I am unable to see the History Channel which is a real bummer.

Pete Kelsey is the guy on the 'team' who flies drones. You may also have come across him recently for the exquisite mapping of Alcatraz. He is brilliant, but common as all get-out. Of the SWR trailer, he said, "I urge you all to look really close, and I mean REAL CLOSE," indicating that there was a stunner in plain sight.

So, I went as close to frame-by-frame as I could, and believe I saw two things in the rapid-fire shots from several scenes. IF I am correct, one is absolutely stunning, and one prior to that is eerie/spooky/concerning, etc. If I'm correct on the eerie one, all I can say is, "OMG. What do we do now?!?" I would be looking for leadership from our government leaders.

I'm not projecting beyond the above, as that is not a positive endeavor at this time. I might be wrong...

FYI, finding an image for this post was challenging to not infringe. In the rabbit hole, I came across an excellent YouTube video on highlights of 'finds' from the show. I only watched the first one, and recall watching it. I have no reason to question the truth. The implications (and this is not about aliens) of the material found within the 'mesa' are phenomenal. I will always remember first seeing this, and specifically Branden Fugal, the owner of SWR, expression. In just a flash, I believe he was seeing massive possibilities that could change humanity and our world, in miraculous ways. That's what I think, and I'm sticking to it! I'll put the link in the comments.

On Sunday revitalization came from working in the yard - fertilizing (with real cow manure - woo poo), digging, planting and watering. It sustains me.

What sustains you?

In readings, both medium and psychic, I've noted Spirit often reminds or reccommends that people get back to Nature, and things they love.

I'm preaching to 'my'/the choir here, but also to 'new' folks checking out my posts.
There is a horrible misperception about me, what I do and how I do it, as well as to anyone who might subscribe to the suggestion that mediumship is meaningful and accurate. Namely, in a good dozen comments I 'hid' from a previous post that the work is associated with God's arch-enemy, who I disdain naming, and won't. Bible verses were quoted, many of which I actually could finish the recitation of. I'm sure that would shock the authors.

I was raised Methodist, became a Lutheran in my mid-20's, and married a Catholic in my late 20's. Shortly thereafter, I discarded formal religion in my own practices. Most Medium and psychics I know believe in God/a Higher Power, regardless of suspected gender. Many still worship in formal, commonly known religions. I believe in a non-judgmental Creator who espouses the Golden Rule, or some facsimile thereof.

Off all of the teachings I remember from my childhood, humans given the expectation of casting judgement was not one of them. When my then-Lutheran pastor, who later became a Bishop pronounced that were I to go near a Spiritualist Church, and their beliefs, I would not be welcomed in HIS church, I bolted from that nonsense, and never looked back. But I have never looked away from the Creator. Nor have I turned away from others - the disenfranchised, the hurting.

Thank you for being YOU. To those of you keeping your minds and hearts open to the consideration that the soul continues to survive the death of the body, and IS everlasting, kudos. That consideration makes the world MUCH bigger, and open, and is testimony to the possibility of all things.

The photo of what I interpreted as angelic clouds is one I took, earlier this week on one of my trips to Birmingham. May the force be with us!

Enjoy your weekend. Those on the Great Plains, BE CAREFUL, and be prepared for heavy storms, hail and possible tornados through I'm thinking, Monday.

Little altars I believe are as important in space, as formal altars.

When most of us envision an altar, we likely think of something at a place of worship.. likely set on a white linen cloth (starched and smooth of course), with lovely metals (such as a silver cup and tray), perhaps a large religious text, and fresh flowers.

To me, an 'altar' actually is any object or grouping, placed with intention, and likely fond association to that which is important to the creation of the altar. It could be a grouping of photos of loved ones, and/or associated objects of memory. Another altar might be found to consist of a bowl of fresh fruit, nuts in shells, on a lovely colorful cloth.

In this photo, a tiny altar, one of many, of mine is in a window sill that received sunshine in the late afternoons. The dragon with a turtle on its back, and gold coin in its mouth represents Dragon Head & Turtle Body: Represents a combination of courage and longevity, s good beginnings, family harmony, and excellent descendants' luck. Also important with this symbol is the attraction of, and accumulation of wealth and prosperity. All of these things, I consciously seek. Placing it where the sun sets for me is that I am covered throughout the day, and as the sun sets. The healthy little succulent exemplified healthy growth, and my love of growing things. Although resin, jade represents purity, harmony, and protection.

You can do much with minimal expense, and Nature. Love this little altar!

Woweee.

It is not often that I purchase ads with Facebook, but did promote my post from Monday, about the remixed interview that Simon Bown in England did with me in 2019.

Circulation has been pleasing. However comments have not been so... a number of Bible quotations, and judgemental, mean words. They don't sting as they once did. Generally my thought is, "Oh dear," as I hide and ban. Nonetheless, spending any valuable time concerning this is frustrating. However, I can reframe in that the positive is: these folks receive a prayer from me :)

Sent out the newsletter a bit ago. It was a really interesting one to write. Each issue contains its own channeled message. This time I wrote the article last. The channeled message directed the article topic which was about changes in mediumship over the last 200 years or so. As I was writing it, I realized that there was little literature 'on' this topic. So, I did something different, and deferred to Spirit to write it for me... and they did fill in blanks!

Writing was not a problem, but formatting was grueling this time. Somehow, I deleted not only the first page of the article, after the whole thing was finished, AND wiped-out the special offer. Are we having fun yet? Not.

In 2019 a well-known podcaster, Simon Bown interviewed me. He has remastered, and re-released it He is an excellent interviewer. You can hear in my voice, that I am jazzed. If you've not, take a listen:

And PLEASE share this!!! You honor me, and the work by doing so, and Mr. Bown as well...
