Gea Jones - Psychic
My grandmother was the seventh child of a seventh child, she taught me all that I know about palm reading , tea leaves and used to take me to the spiritualist church when I was six. This was partly because the mediums used to pick me out for messages, which were usually for my grandmother, ..around that time I had a best friend and we believed we were fairies, she was fairy rosebud and I was fairy bluebell. We used to meet in the church cemetary , when we were very small, and talk about secret fairy things, we grew up,I became very sceptical about ,well everything, though I used to turn to my Tarot cards in times of trouble to help me sort out things in my life. They seemed very real to me, and still do - I used the Marseilles pack, and loved it. So as time went on, I married had two sons, divorced and moved to Devon, I was by now, remarried and we all moved to this house which was built in 1862. I started to have dreams every night of things which had happened as I was dreaming, churches being burnt down etc.
About Me
I became so powerfully clairvoyant I didn't know what was happening to me and was quite frightened. So I rang up the Reverand Pennington of Hartland church, he came to see me and after a long talk , explaining to me about healing [which I had always done without realising it] and about the spirit, he told me I had been given a rare gift and to use it wisely.
I started to do Tarot card readings for £2. 50 and was inundated. I had previously trained as a counsellor in London, which was a very good grounding as I used that knowledge for certain situations. The cards spoke to me, and soon I was seeing, well, virtually everyone in the area; from magistrates, to bankers, to shop assistants and hairdressers, even the occasional mp.
I started to become more clairvoyant and my mediumship abilities developed so much that I was doing services in the spiritualist church. I can see the afterlife and people who had passed on used to manifest in my living room in front of relatives. I started to go on the radio, doing live tarot readings, [the first person to do this on a regular basis] then it was still quite unusual.
I was on the radio up to three times a week for five years, then I predicted the winning lottery numbers for someone who came to me, using mediumship. Because of my radio/media connections I got hurled in to the limelight and was on the news all over the world, mainly because I used something called psychometry to get the numbers [I held her keyring] and I refused to take any of the millions that she won becuase I didn't believe it was right as it was a gift.
The media was intense; I worked for the Daily Mirror for a year, was on televison - great fun and became a celeb. It was too much for me I got so exhausted I eventually retreated and spent some years playing myself down. Fame is a very strange drug, I had become very famous, but with little money, in the end I had to officially stop everything but now my friends are all people who want clairvoyance . . . so thats just something I still do . . . fame !!!
