Update

My apologies to any regular readers for the inconsistent posting over the last few months, but what with one thing and another it's been hard to find the time to keep things up to date.
However, it looks as though things should be settling down a bit in the near future.

I've not posted much over the past few weeks although I've been sitting again on a weekly basis for most of May. The main site (http://www.spirit-lodge.blogspot.com/) has been keeping detailed records of each seance so nothing major has been missed.
There have been some other interesting changes over the recent weeks as well which will be posted publicly once we know more about where they are going, but in the meantime...
earlier in April I was lucky enough to be included in a home seance with Warren Caylor.
I wrote up my account and it's been sitting here now for weeks waiting to be posted.



A private Home Seance with Warren Caylor. 26th April 2008

Our own home circle had been invited en-masse to Warren’s home and to sit with Warren, Julie and Lisa in their front room to experience a physical séance away from all the usual clutter and people that go along with a public demonstration.

I’ve sat with Warren on half a dozen different occasions now, many of them in different locations and rooms ranging from the slick set up at Jenny’s Sanctuary through to village halls and empty rooms above a shop. And I’ll be the first to admit that the first few times I experienced a physical séance, I was less than convinced. Not that the evidence was too flaky, it was more a case of my rational mind having been trained for years as an engineer simply couldn’t accept the reality of what I was seeing. The only ‘rational’ alternative then had to be some kind of fraud.

I’d read of trumpets levitating and voices speaking out of the darkness, but to sit for 3 hours and see all this and much, much more first hand was more than my sceptical mind could manage. I couldn’t deny these things had happened but nor could I find a ‘rational’ justification for them. If I’m honest, what drove me more than anything else to go back and experience a séance a second time, was the desire to work out how it was being done.

I did go back a 2nd time and more. And what I soon came to realise was that what I was witnessing was really happening. Very shortly, I was sitting in a home circle myself and any last doubts of any deception evaporated as we began to experience similar sorts of phenomena within our own garden shed.

……………

We all arrived –having relied on GPS Sat Nav’s to find our way across the Birmingham suburbs with varying degree’s of success, and sat in the lounge chatting and unwinding from the long drive. When it was nearly 7pm and Warren called the evening to order. After making sure that all our pockets were empty, rings, mobiles and jewellery were all tucked away, we made our way into the ex-dining room that is now the spirit teams dedicated séance room and went through all the usual safety procedures.

This evening though was to prove a really fun and down to earth séance. Within seconds of the first track being played, knocks could be heard coming from different sides of the room and before the second track had finished, Rachel welcomed everyone with her usual laughter and jokes, taking particular delight in teasing the one newcomer who had not sat with Warren before.
Tom joined us and gave yet another very impressive display of control over the ectoplasm as he displayed levitation, played with the drumsticks, whistles and trumpets.

Soon Yellow Feather announced his presence and both he and Albert spent some time not only exchanging jokes with the sitters but also giving some serious advice and philosophy. Much of which centred around the message that those on a ‘spiritual path’ must also keep a view on what is right in front of them. Help, support and opportunities are here in the physical world and often found with close friends and family. You do not always need to look to the spirit world for such support.
This was a theme that was repeated several times by various different communicators.

Yellow Feather then returned and gave a demonstration of full physical materialisation in white light. Initially he stepped out of the cabinet but was only visible from his feet to his waist. His legs appeared to be self luminescent and then when he reappeared moments later he could be seen from head to toe quite clearly in the shaded white light. He joked around with all of us and with the room being no more than 10 by 12 feet, we could all see and hear clearly everything that was happening. He allowed one lady to touch his materialised hand then, placed his hand over hers on the plaque. “So if my hand is on the plaque, and my other hand is on top of yours, …then who the bloody hell is holding the plaque up??!!” -Anyone who has met Yellow Feather will recognise his sense of humour. Even after all this time, he still manages to make you laugh with his often less than ‘politically correct’ wife/mother in law jokes.
It’s nice to know that not everyone turns into saints and philosophers as soon as they cross into Spirit!

More familiar people joined us and shared jokes, phenomena and guidance as well as a few I’d not met before. Proving without a shadow of doubt that regardless of what many might think of their personalities or messages, they are still very much alive and are more than prepared to commit themselves to demonstrate the basic reality of continuing life.

Then towards the end of the séance several new voices were heard as they were helped by the Team to come through with personal messages. You can have all the physical evidence in the world, but somehow there is nothing quite like hearing again from a friend or family member in their own voice, letting you know that they are ok and sharing personal memories together.

For over 2 hours we sat together in a small front room, guests in Warren’s own home and were privileged to be witness to a personal experience that is unlike any public demo. I’ve only touched briefly on some of the main highlights, there were many others that were personal to the sitters & which they can choose to share or not.

And when all is said and done, that is all that Spirit are offering. A personal experience of absolute physical proof that life continues beyond the threshold of what we too often call death.
Once you have that proof within your own experience, it’s then your responsibility as to how owning this knowledge will affect the way you choose to live the rest of your own life.

Tuesday 13th May

This evening was a departure from the usual blackout séance as last week, the Chief had specifically requested the Tracey be invited to the Lodge and that she would enable her guide ‘Red Hawk’ to come through. We were given the impression that the Chief and Red Hawk had something to discuss and that bringing the two mediums physically together would in some way help this.

I suspect in reality however, that neither spirit guides really required the support of a séance to communicate with each other but it did provide a change in routine for us, in addition to giving both guides an opportunity to raise new topics for discussion and learning.
...This though is purely my own opinion.

Also the presence of a newcomer and potential new sitter was quite possibly not coincidental either. As is often the case –if not always in fact- whenever the Chief or FC makes changes to the usual routine, there are many different aspects that always seem to slot into place and work out to the best outcome for everyone concerned. So much so now, that such changes are never even questioned any more as our trust in their management has grown and grown.

On one of the warmest nights of the year so far, all 8 of us gathered in the Lodge with Brian and Tracey in the South and North corners respectively. Chris swapped placed with me allowing her to keep a close eye on both Mediums and to keep her attention on any changes that might be required, whilst I took over the mechanics of opening, closing and the CD player.

After the ‘going off’ tracks were played, we could see Brian being moved or swayed from side to side. This was interesting in itself as we always hear the movement but this was the first time we had been able to witness it under pink light conditions. More so, because Brian’s feet only just reach the floor (at the Chiefs request we have switched back to the more comfortable garden lounger to enable a deeper level of relaxation to be reached more quickly) and to see his upper body swaying whilst his toes remained static and his arms resting at his sides looked quite peculiar.

It was quite apparent that Tracey was going into a deep trance state and within 5 minutes or so her guide Red Hawk began to speak to us. We were able to ask several questions about Healing, individual guides and their relationships to ourselves.
Both Red Hawk, Cheung-Li and the Chief made comments about how to ‘listen’ to input from our guides -trusting the “first thought” and gut feelings as these were most likely to be our ‘guidance’, which comes before our own minds can take over and start to rationalise things out for ourselves.
I think this is also the first time that we have had a themed message from more than one communicator and I suspect that there was at least one -if not more than one- within the circle that needed to hear that message specifically. I know it certainly resonated with me and chimed with my own personal experiences –particularly over recent months.

After about 20 minutes or so, Red Hawk bid us goodnight and withdrew and Cheung-Li stepped forward through Brian. He spoke of how working in trance under the pink light conditions allowed him to demonstrate the basics of transfiguration. We could all see at this point that Brian’s face had changed into a much more rounded shape, his cheeks seemed to be ‘pulled’ out to the sides giving an overall impression of an oriental shape face which was quite distinctly different to his own but at the same time was still very much Brian.

Cheung-Li answered more questions from the sitters about Guides and guidance until he too also withdrew and the Chief came forward to talk with us further. All too soon though it was time to play the coming out tunes and as both Tracey and Brian came back to the room we could feel the full force of the evenings heat.

Thanks once again to the spirit team for enabling such an interesting evening and to Brian and Tracey for helping to make it possible.


When time allows I’ll post some audio clips up which can then be downloaded or listened to online.
