Nerd out with Tiffany as she talks through her ways of making decisions by collecting data through the mind, body, heart, and soul. Yes, really, mediumship can be research, and no, this will not permit you to say 'Spirit told me to'.

In learning mediumship, the second most important thing (after practice) is exposing yourself to new perspectives, techniques, and ideas around your practice. This year I got a whole bunch of new mediumship books for the comparative titles section of my proposal for a book on mediumship. Here are some thoughts about them and books on a few tangental topics that I love too. Here's the list for reference: Answers From the Ancestral Realm by Sharon Anne Klingler Ancestor Medicine by Daniel Foor Brujas by Lorraine Montegut The Other Side by Jennifer Higgie Modern Mediumship by Johan Poulsen Medium Mentor by MaryAnne DiMarco Stay Woke by Justin Michael Williams Psychic Witch by Mat Auryn Magickal Mediumship by Danielle Dionne The Book of Seances by Claire Goodchild DIY Magic by Anthony Alvarado The Creative Act by Rick Rubin The Dawn of Everything by Davids Graeber & Wengrow --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unknownunknown/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unknownunknown/support
