Since the beginning of time, Oracles have been sought after for guidance and esoteric knowledge that escapes rationality. An oracle's charge is to provide guidance for those that seek it. Mediums on the other hand, have been sought to bridge this realm with the next by providing insight into the afterlife. Whether someone wants to hear from their dearly departed loved ones or get help with conundrums that are beyond the scope of the person's ability to answer for themselves, both roles can offer guidance. However, there are differences where this guidance comes from.
I can remember a time where an acquaintance's mother had just passed away. The mother sought me out to deliver a message she had for her daughter from beyond the grave. I was new to this calling and understood that I needed to set boundaries, otherwise how could I have one foot in the realm of the living while being preoccupied with preforming duties given to me from the afterlife. The spirit of this departed woman was sad because it felt that since my acquaintance spent a lot of her life looking after her when she was alive, she had never really lived her life. The message that the mother had for her daughter was one of gratitude but also to live and move on. The spirit kept waking me up at ungodly hours of the night until I agreed to deliver the message. I had offered my acquaintance a free reading weeks prior. So I told the spirit that if I was to deliver this message to her daughter the spirit would have to lead her to me. The next day my acquaintance accepted and called me for her free reading, where I told her that her mother was okay, and she wanted her daughter to move on with her life.
Sound advice coming from the Universe through an Oracle is not something that should be dismissed. Recently, I met some friends for drinks and at one point, I noticed that one of my colleagues was not looking so good. I asked him if he was okay and he replied that he was fine. I then asked him if he felt like he was being bombarded by the energy of the atmosphere in the pub. He said "no". I proceeded to ask him if he felt that 'he feels too much'. To which he answered, " yes all the time". Knowing that my friend has empathic qualities, I was able to advise him on how to focus on the here and now, and to release the rest and focus on the positives in his life. In some small way I felt like I had helped him and that the hand of the divine was some how using me to help my friend avert himself from depression. Helping me to feel both humble and grateful the Universe saw fit to use me in this way.
These two brief accounts from my past illustrate how I am used to help the lives of others the first as a Medium and the second as an Oracle. Both provide comfort and support to others from very different sources of knowledge. It is no wonder why Oracles and Mediums are sought out and why they make awesome life coaches.
