I’ve always been fascinated by stories of the Holy Grail and have read all the books about it that I can get my hands on – including the fantastic Labyrinth by Kate Mosse. So I was intrigued by Danushia’s story on p14 – that very same book sent her on her own quest for the Grail. And it seems like she had a very special past life connection to it – well, you’ll have to read the story and see for yourself! I also loved Sophie’s story on p21 about how connecting with angels really helped with her depression. I think a lot of us have been struggling with our mental health during the pandemic, and if angels can bring some relief, then it’s worth giving it a go. I…

Celebrity PAST LIFE American actress Jodie Turner-Smith may have seemed a controversial choice to play Anne Boleyn in the new TV series, but it makes sense when you realise she actually was once this ill-fated wife of Henry VIII. No wonder she values her faithful and loyal husband in this life! No wonder either that she warned Prince Harry to be careful!

Danushia Kaczmarek, 51, Nottingham I closed my eyes, reached out my hand and felt the spine of a book. Pulling it out, I looked at the novel and smiled. I wasn’t playing a game. I can use books for spiritual guidance – as a form of divination, if like. I connect with the author’s energy I’ve developed a technique where I choose a book and connect with the author’s energy. The writer then gives me advice, I hear them speaking to me as if they’re in the room. I also run retreats, helping people with their higher selves, and the reason I’d turned to the books for guidance was because I wanted to organise something special that would connect with people on a heart level. The book I’d chosen was…

TAIL OF WOE Dear Roi I dreamt I had a thick dreadlock of skin hanging from the back of my head, which was hot to . was a pig s tail! But then I unravelled it and it stayed straight, and I had to include it in my ponytail to blend it in and hide it. It was totally freaky! Clarissa Butte, 48, Mannheim, Germany Dear Clarissa It sounds like you’ve become aware of something undesirable or unsightly about yourself, which would be embarrassing to you if others noticed it. However, this may not be a ‘real’ thing, but could be related to your own ‘dread’ of something happening or becoming a reality. Whatever this may be, you’ve gone to some lengths to conceal it. Maybe it’s time to deal…

WHAT’S IN YOUR spooky snaps? Wedding bells Dear Sally  his photo is from my brother’s wedding in 2014. I T asked for my dad to be on photo (he passed away in January 1999). This blue orb showed up on some of the family wedding photos. Marie Morgan, UK Dear Marie Thank you for the interesting wedding picture where you asked Dad to show up, I do believe that when we ask for a sign, we are given it – especially on such a special occasion as a wedding day. As I look carefully at the blue orb, I feel that there’s a face of a man looking down at everyone in the photograph. You can clearly see two eyes, a nose, a mouth – and interestingly, a bald…

Danushia Kaczmarek outlines a simple technique to enjoy the guidance of books. • Stand near a bookcase, or a pile of books. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. • Connect to your heart centre and tap into the feeling of love. Really feel your heart expand. • With your eyes still closed, reach for a book and open it randomly at a page. • Hover your finger over the words/pictures, then look to see what guidance you have received. • The message may be instantly clear, or it may take a few days for the meaning to surface.…

Katie paints your spirit guide Dear Katie I have been writing for a while, but nothing has come to fruition. I was wondering whether I should continue pursuing it. If not what is my life s purpose from this point? Janet 60 Manchester Dear Janet Your spirit guide is an English woman called Winifred from the early 20th century. A writer, she was initially too poor to go into higher education, then the attack on Pearl Habour halted plans to turn her book into a musical, and the Blitz meant she had to move into a single room with her parents. She still found the time to write. She is with you to give you tenacity and determination. She urges you not to give up on yourself or your calling.…

Have you heard the famous Quaker quote, ‘I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.’ This struck me after hanging on the phone for ages to speak to a human being. That’s 45 minutes of my life I won’t get back, I thought as I put the phone down. Which was true – but the angels want us to think of it in a more positive way. So how could I have made that experience less frustrating and more positive? Well, I could have put the phone on loudspeaker and started…

YOUR QUESTION ANSWERED Every month I choose three cards totally randomly. Ask your question (it can be anything), choose your card and then look down to get your answer – no peeking! Card A DON’T LET PRIDE GET IN YOUR WAY Have you been letting your pride become an obstacle? Is the question you’re asking based on your ego or is it from your heart? This card may have come to you because you need to end a deadlock that has developed – more love and thoughts for the greater good are the solution to your dilemma. Card B BE BOLD AND MAKE THE FIRST MOVE Now is the time to be bold – bossy, even. Take matters into your own hands. You’re going to need to be self-starting, determined…

Although people of every creed and religion are convinced that the supreme being (or beings) they worship is the One True God, the fact is that there have been a great many different gods and goddesses throughout history. The idea of gods has existed as long as there have been people on the planet – but what does it mean if we dream of the Creator? SEEING IS BELIEVING If you’re seeing God, or a god, it suggests you’re striving to achieve perfection or purity in some way, or trying to please an important figure in your life. GOD-LIKE POWER Dreaming of being a god indicates that you feel superior to others, maybe in a supercilious or arrogant way. You feel empowered or strengthened by recent developments or realisations. LIKE…

Mariah Carey is my guardian angel Delishus O’Toole, from Belfast, Northern Ireland Looking dressing room  mirror, I checked for one last time that my makeup was perfect and that not one hair on my long curly wig was out of place. I smiled at myself, ready to go out and face my audience as gorgeous singing drag artist Delishus O’Toole. ‘Thanks Mariah,’ I whispered. My idol Mariah Carey was always in my head, whenever I went on stage. I’d interact with the audience, but it was Mariah I’d channel if I was asked any awkward questions. If it was something I didn’t want to answer, I’d do what Mariah always does. I’d coyly smile and avoid the answer by saying ‘I don’t know!’ or ‘I don’t remember!’ I have a and language…

Jemma Balsdon from Hengoed, Wales When I started working from home due to the nationwide lockdown, in March 2020, I found it all deeply unsettling. I was incredibly scared, as I’m sure everyone was at this terrible time. Every day, I woke up wondering what was going to happen next, I felt so lost and really unnerved. I felt filled withlove and hope One day, while I was out walking my little dog Frank, I found a heart that had been drawn in chalk by a little girl on the pavement near my home. Looking at it, I felt filled with love and hope. I smiled to myself as it made me so happy. The next day I went into my makeshift office room to start work – and there…

SHOCKING STATUE Locals living in the village of Yokatha, Thailand, have been suffering from one of the worst droughts in recent years – and they’ve come up with a unique solution. They’ve built a giant statue in the shape of a penis to appease the weather gods! And apparently it’s worked! There was a rainfall on 11 June, just two days after the penis statue was, erm, erected! However, local farmers say that it’s not enough to irrigate their fields, so prayers to the statue are continuing. The local village headman, Chamnan Kenthongdaeng, 52, told the payattanews. com that the phallus represents fertility and growth, and has been a tradition in the village since the days of his grandparents. If we experience a summer drought this year in the UK, maybe…

The North Node and the South Node of the moon aren’t physical bodies, but two points that mark the crossings of the Moon in its orbital path. They hold a special vibrational frequency and give us clues to what we’ve encountered in other lifetimes and are here to learn in this one. The two points are always in opposite signs, creating a polarity, a stretch between our comfort zone and our need to develop more. These pulse points hold the memories of past lives and the soul contract for this life. Getting to know your nodes Find your North Node and its opposite sign, the South Node, in your birth chart (cafeastrology.com). They will fall in opposite signs, creating a special affinity with those opposite energies in your life. Bringing…

Folklore is littered with tales of gods and goddesses, but if you’re looking for a go-to goddess, there is one character that stands out. Originally found in Celtic legends, but with aspects in mythology from all over the world, she’s known as the Triple Goddess and she brings it, girl power-wise! She’s got sass, style, and lots of class, and represents the three stages of womanhood, from the youthful Maiden, full of hope and vitality, to the nurturing, creative Mother, who is strong and self-assured. The third stage is the enigmatic Crone, with her mix of mature beauty and wisdom. All three aspects have their strengths but put them together and you have a magical powerhouse! You can work with a specific Triple Goddess, such as Hera or Hecate, or…

Sophie Fox, 43, from Halifax, West Yorkshire I was shocked as I left the office. I’d just been told, with no warning, that I was being made redundant. I’d only been back for a month after maternity leave. The news was a blow. I’d been a textile designer for 14 years, it was a big part of my life. What’s more, the redundancy payment wouldn’t last long. With me out of work, I was worried about how my husband Christopher and I would be able to buy our baby Oscar everything he needed. While I adored being a mother, I struggled with the isolation of being a stay-at-home mum. I looked for jobs but nothing came up. As days passed, I fell into a black hole. I spent hours staring…

Love is all around Dear Michelle I didn’t know how bad my marriage was until it ended. Years of putting me down, telling me I was a burden, I was fat, unattractive, useless…it all took a toll. I’ve been on my own for five years and I’m lonely, but how can I trust anyone – and what would they see in me? Ruth, 62, Ipswich Dear Ruth I’m using the Romance Angels Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue for intuition. I have called in a host of angels, led by Archangel Raphael, Chief of the Angels of Love, to surround your soul with healing and self-confidence. It can be a long road, recovering from that type of awful abuse, but you are lovable, you deserve love you are worthy of love.…

American actress Jennifer Love Hewitt, the star of supernatural TV drama Ghost Whisperer, which ran between 2005 and 2010, has claimed that the set was haunted. In a 2007 interview on radiofree.com, she said, ‘We’ve had all kinds of things happen. My make-up artist...we took a picture of her and she had sort of this white film over her face. And then we took a picture of her 10 minutes later and there was nothing. And we had [medium James Van Praagh] sort of look at it, and he was like, ‘Yeah, absolutely, there’s a ghost attached to her’.’…

August looks relatively calm. All the better to (hopefully!) have a chance to enjoy summer. It’s the ideal time to rebuild anything in your life which needs it so that it’s stronger, from your health to your mental state. I pulled a general forecast card for every star sign for this month – here’s what it means for you... Sign of the month: LEO – Called. You came to the earth with a double mission; to grow as a soul and to bring about a shift in consciousness. Fulfil these missions by trusting whatever you feel your soul is calling you to do. You have many gifts – some you already know about and some you are just discovering. VIRGO – It’s time to widen your circle of friends so…

RIDDLE’S REMEDIES Dear Kirsten Is there a spell that could help me pay off my credit card? Laura, Exeter Dear Laura There’s no quick fix to debt, but there are magical rituals that will help you save. Invest in a magnet and place this at the bottom of a jar, or use a lodestone which is a natural magnet. Write down the amount you need to cover the bill and pop this on top of the magnet. Cover the paper with loose change. Give the jar a shake and say, ‘Every day, money comes my way, let abundance flow and my savings grow.’ Add a few pennies to the jar each week to keep the positive energy flowing freely. Bewitching ingredient! A crunchy bowl of granola makes a satisfying start…

Joanna Jackson Cowell from Nottinghamshire There was nothing about the attractive, white-stoned inn that suggested I’d get anything other than a good night’s sleep there. My husband Pete and I had booked a night at The Old Ferryboat Inn in St Ives, Cambridgeshire for ourselves and my mum. I was looking forward to a relaxing stay in this lovely inn – said to be one of the oldest pubs in the country. ‘Shall we go for a drink in the bar, love?’ Pete suggested, and I nodded eagerly. We headed down to the bar – where, to my surprise, there was what looked like a gravestone built into the floor. ‘What on earth is that?’ I asked the bartender. ‘It looks exactly like a grave!’ He nodded. ‘It is!’ he…

At the height of summer, the ancient Celtic festival of Lammas takes centre stage. Falling on the 1-2 August, it’s an important part of the Wheel of the Year for modern pagans as it marks the first harvest festival, known as the Grain Harvest. Wiccans believe that the Goddess, in her guise as Corn Mother, is rich with gifts. Abundance and reaping the rewards of work done earlier in the year are the key themes of this celebration. It’s time to celebrate the power of the sun and welcome the shift in seasons. The ancients lit bonfires and held great feasts to mark this magical moment. We, too, can connect with the vibrant energy of Lammas and give thanks for our blessings with a few simple rituals. LAMMAS ALTAR Harness…

The sun still comes up each day but something’s changed – and it’s you. Your life is moving on but remember that to let new things come in, you need to wave goodbye to the old. Bin those toxic relationships first. Things will really speed up on 11 August. BILLIE EILISH Billie’s energy is very different now – less shy and ready for adult life. I see an ongoing inner battle of choices. But this August, Billie is aware that she needs to sit pretty and find her own truth. I think Billie is torn between the angel and the devil on her shoulders – she doesn’t always know which way to turn, but this will be much clearer by the end of the year. She’ll understand more about her…
