Post No. 275 - Mary Ann Winkowski

I have just finished reading Mary Ann Winkowski's book "When Ghosts Speak" (pub. Hachette Australia, 2007, ISBN 978 0 7336 22700). This woman has objective clairvoyance - which means that the clairvoyance is such that the images appear outside her head, not sensed, or perceived "inside" the head, as is the case with many clairvoyants (which is termed "subjective clairvoyance").

Mary Ann's grandmother encouraged this gift, and helped Mary Ann develop it for the purpose of rescue. It is interesting that Mary Ann is quite clear that she cannot communicate with spirits who have passed over, although others she knows can. Her life experience inspired the TV Series "Ghost Whisperer".

The book has some excellent, down-to-earth advice on how to keep oneself safe - e.g., the dangers of ouija boards, the importance of testing guidance from alleged spirits (something ASPECTS was very good at teaching me) [1], the accumulation of earthbound spirits in certain places (such as pubs) and around certain types of professions (such as police and lawyers). There are some interesting stories about animals and the ghosts of famous and other people she has met, as well as commentary about the health, energy and other problems inevitably caused by earthbound people - some of whom leave their family when they realise they are having adverse effects on them, according to Mary Ann, and find other sources of energy.

She refers to "dark witchcraft", by which I suspect she is trying to differentiate between "good" witchcraft and other - she is certainly open to the existence of witchcraft because of her Italian heritage, but I suspect her understanding of what is covered by that is possibly flawed or limited. She may not understand that pentagrams are a sign of good, not evil. (This reminds me of the so-called "Sign of the Horns", alleged in the world of neo-Christianity to mean "the devil" or "I worship the devil", heavy metal music as a sign of being "in", in Wicca to symbolise the Horned God [also known by a range of other names, such as Cernunnos], and known as Kurana Mudra in Buddhism, where it is used to expel demons ... take your pick? - just know that it predates heavy metal by a LOOOONG way!)

Apart from that, this is a good book. Her website, for which I have two URLs (here and here) leading to the same place, may also be worth checking out.

Love, light, hugs and blessings
