Your Comments...I hear you!

Well it seems like lots of you watched the show last night!!

My email box filled to the brim within 30 minutes of the show ending and its seems for most of you the subject was the same...our skeptics comments about our stroke victim. Soplease allow me to answer you all on mass rather than one-by-one as I try to normally do, please!

Many of you have communicated that whether or not you agree that psychics can do this kind of medical intuition, it was clear to you that you couldnt tell this gentleman had been sticken previously by a blood clot/stroke. Yes, I agree...I couldnt have reacted any more strongly on camera! Yes, my outrage was real as it seems is yours. You also have said that you think it was quite insensitive to our gentleman that this was said. I agree and I felt that it was an unnecessary way to try and make a point.

Bottomline for me on the subject of medical intuition is this: Mainstream Medical Science doesnt know it all. Great doctors and scientists agree with this. My husband is a doctor and he and his colleagues freely accept this. Great psychics also do not claim to know it or all be infalliable in their intuition and do not ever suggest not to go and see a medical doctor. It is worth remembering that skeptics refuted and campaigned against acupuncture up until the AMA formally sanctioned that it works less than a few years ago. We still dont know how it works, but now, since mainstream medical science says it does, this means its really Ok or more valid than more than a thousand years of tradition said it was all this time?

We are not at any stage advising you to just see a medical intuitive ALONE for your diagnosis. Healing is yet another issue, and irrelevant to this conversation as we were only dealing with diagnosis on this show.

Best wishes

Witch witch is Which...Get Your Facts Right!

There seems to be quite a lot of confusion out there about the word Witch and what it stands for.

Firstly, being described as a Witch is just like being described as a Buddhist, a Christian, a Hindu or a Jew.It is the label that is given to the follower of a particular spiritual practice. According to the last Australian Census, over 30 000 people in this country admitted they were pagan with a big percentage of those calling themselves Witches.

In the US, Witches are rightly recognised as the followers of a bone fide religion and have their own pagan chaplains for within the Military and their own designated graveyards for example.

A good test of the word is to substitute the word Jew or Buddhist in the sentence that you intend on using. A major newspaper recently described me as a 'witch' with an incredulous, cynical tone. Substitute the word Jew in there and well, Huston we have a problem!

You also can't say I don't believe in 'Witches', because we are real living people just like Jews, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhists etc are. How funny would it be if someone said "I don't believe in Buddhists" yet they have great disbelief in Witches still!

Secondly, some Witches have psychic ability. Some don't. Some of these witches describe themselves as psychic. Some don't. The One is a show about psychics and not their chosen spirituality. There are Witches on the show and whilst their psychic gifts may be up for review, their spirituality certainly is not.

WOW..Big Reaction and it hasn't even started yet....

Hi Everyone....


Well, being a part of The One is going to be a bit of a ride isn't it when the show hasn't even started yet and the positive and negative comments are flying hither and thither.

It has come to my attention, that there are already some disparaging remarks about me personally and my chosen path as a Witch amongst certain websites and blogs. As a Witch, it's pretty much water off a ducks back...after all, my predecessors were burnt, drowned, tortured and accused of partying hard with the red-horned bloke, so hey, a few cheap shots by people who know nothing about me isn't too taxing! Thanks for your concern though!

What I will say is that there is obviously a lot of emotion about the issue of whether psychic ability is real. There is also a lot of fear. Justifiably...if psychic ability can be proved by mainstream science to be unequivocally real, some of the most basic laws of science, in particular physics, will change. This is one mighty big applecart to overturn. Happily though, science has had this happen to it constantly (worlds flat, germs don't exist, acupuncture doesn't work) that it will get over it.

Whilst both sides can throw eminent scientists against each other, right now skeptics do not have the monopoly on rationality. There are plenty of respected scientists and thinkers who believe in these kinds of talents. Its very important to do your own research if you are interested, and here's a few links I found that might wet your whistle.
