 February 2005 Georgia of For The Witch In You interviewed Vision Magazine's Visionary Columnist and medium Nance Turner. The following is an email interview conducted on 30th January 2005.  FTWIY: How
long have you known you were a medium?NANCE: I suppose it began when I was a child. I always knew that I could see people that other people couldn’t see. I didn’t actually know what it meant, until about 5 years ago when I went into training to be able to control it. It could be really hard when I was younger, I would be in my bedroom and adults and children would come and sit and talk to me or walk with me to school. I had to control all of the feelings that I would get that weren’t my own, something I didn’t really understand at the time. It was about 6 years ago that I focused on becoming a trained medium in order to give people spiritual readings. FTWIY: What exactly is it that you experience? NANCE: When I’m ghost hunting I have to use all of my senses, sometimes I can feel their pain of how they died and sometimes their emotions. Most of the time I see the spirit standing before me in the same way that I see the living, at other times they can appear translucent. These are several of the ways that I see and communicate with spirit. FTWIY: What’s been your best experience to date? NANCE: It’s hard to choose one experience that stands out against the rest as all the readings that I give are an experience not to be forgotten. I do prefer the jovial readings, when a lighthearted spirit comes through, it can really cheer up the person having the reading. FTWIY: When you’re ghost hunting do you work in a different way to when you are reading for a client? NANCE: When I sit down to read for a client it’s that person’s energy alone that brings about the spirit contact: a singular energy. When I’m on a ghost hunt it’s more like a free for all as I’m waiting for the spirits to come to me. I have to attune myself to be more accessible to spirit. I also have to feel the building’s energies, as material things hold in our energies and memories to be told at another time. FTWIY: If you could contact anyone on the other side, who would it be? NANCE: John Lennon, as I’d like to talk to him as a person and not as a 70’s rock star, rather the man behind the image/icon and ask what his concepts of spirituality are and what they mean to him. FTWIY: Why do you think some people can, and other people can't talk to spirit? NANCE: I believe that everybody can talk to spirit. There are some people that embrace the contact and some that that choose not to. Everybody has a choice, but sometimes it can be a very scary thing, to know that you may have seen something that you know someone else didn’t see. People that want to talk to spirit and don’t seem to be able to have to have patience and wait and never demand too much, it comes to us all in the end. It simply may not be your time yet. FTWIY: What advice would you give to someone wanting to become a medium? NANCE: Have faith in yourself at all times, believe in your ability and don’t let people dictate to you how to use it. Take it as it comes – spirit know how much you can take at any one time and what speed you can go at. It can be a lot of fun, but it can be very draining at the same time. Also I would say be sure in yourself that you’ll use your gift for the greater good and never abuse it.
