Interview With a Psychic: Cassandra of Angels

We hope you enjoy getting to know Cassandra of Angels, an expert Psychic providing Video readings!

Describe how you first found out about your psychic abilities.

There are stories of me chattering away in my crib, always focused on the same spot in the top left corner of the room, speaking in some inexplicable language that stumped my family. Even so young, I was in contact with my guides. I’ve always been a natural healer. I remember a photograph of me laying my hands on the face of the mother of my best friend, when I was three or four years old. After hearing only a snippet of information, I was able to read anyone in close proximity to me and I knew things about strangers I could not possibly know, not only because of my age, and because they were strangers to me, but I had not been exposed to society or people much…I wasn’t even exposed to television as a very young child.

There was no easy way to explain away my insights, and my parents were either accused or felt they were being accused of exposing me to adult subjects because there seemed to be no other explanation for my b behavior. My parents tried to discourage me from sharing my gifts by telling me that it was very rude to look at anyone too deeply and they went so far as to change my school when my first grade teacher noticed my gifts and my sadness at the suppression of Self I was experiencing. She tried to inform my “old fashioned” and “God –fearing” adoptive parents of my special abilities. She reacted with fascination while my parent’s reaction was fear.

My parents were educators and managed to enroll me in the school where my mother worked so she could “keep an eye on me”, and to get me away from that concerned teacher. They never reacted in a positive way, they denied and suppressed when they couldn’t deny, and they considered my forays into the unknown as a serious distraction from reality at best, and suspicious and “unnatural” activity at worst. As you might imagine, I tried to accommodate them as best I could. I tried to detach from that second sightwhich was in fact my first sight- and I focused as much as possible on the physical and tried to fit in with everyone else. I found other ways to express my extreme sensitivity that weren’t as obvious until I was able to grow my way out of imposed limitations to a more independent way of living.

What have you done to develop your abilities?

Being a Scholar in Essence I have used various studies as a basis of the growth of my abilities over the years. I was punished for blatantly expressing my gifts in my early years, but I soon found an outlet through music, poetry and dance. I had always channeled the divine through my singing voice however, and no amount of outside pressure has managed to curb that!

In school and out, I studied philosophy, religion, art and science and of course music. As I became a teenager, the pull of my Soul became undeniable and I started to look beyond conventional wisdom for the answers to my queries about life. I studied Eastern modes of thought, discovered the Chakra systems and unconventional energy studies. I started practicing meditation techniques, Astral Projection and lucid dreaming. My best friend gave me my first deck of Tarot cards and I started reading with them in my 20’s. I studied Herbs, herbal remedies and Aromatherapy, in addition to my deepening Tarot and dream studies.

The more I opened my mind to esoteric subjects, the more room my natural abilities had to reveal themselves. I found a Tarot Master and she has been my mentor for many years, helping me to fine tune my Tarot card reading style and technique.

Describe your skills.

I’m a very powerful receiver. That’s basically how an Empath works, you send the feelings and thoughts out and the Empath feels them directly. In a very real sense, that is how my psychic abilities operate. You send to me through your communications, your vibrations on many levels. I’m able to see, even through your own negative filters, a clear picture of your reality or whatever aspect of life you’re asking about. To me, all questions are valid from the tiny details to the big picture.

A reading with me is a protective space where you can feel free to express your deepest feelings, questions, desires and dreams. It is my intention to provide the clarity of vision you need to really see the road in front of you (or the road behind you!) even if it’s just for a little while, while we’re together. Just like the Sun’s rays help with vision yet have many other life-giving and positive aspects, so do our lives, and the events we experience have different layers of meaning below the surface of what our 5 primary senses experience.

I have the unique skill of being able to see the deeper meanings of dreams and the meanings in seemingly everyday events that relate to a person’s possible past, present and future. I’ve learned how to express what I see so it can be understood in the context of the individual. I use the Tarot cards to help clarify that vision and in a sense, translate it and ground it.

Can you communicate with spirits who have passed on?

I don’t have much experience, consciously and awake, communicating with spirits who have passed on, at least, not much more than feeling them. I spend more time in a dream state with souls who are no longer extant, as I do spend lengthy periods of time on the Astral Plane.

Have I communicated with my own deceased relatives? Not more than to “look in on them” to see their progress.

Are you able to turn your psychic abilities ‘on’ or ‘off’ when you want to?

Since I was born with the abilities, they are a part of me like breathing and I wouldn’t know how to turn them off completely. The best I can do along those lines is to try to ignore them or keep my mouth shut when it comes to expressing them. My preparation rituals are more about focus or better yet, a defocusing to receive the vibrations without judgment from the querent. I like to have crystals and minerals around me and I know that quartz has a positive effect.

What is life like living with these abilities?

The older I get, the troubles and problems associated with such heightened sensitivity get easier to deal with. When I was a young child, it was the bane of my existence and not only was there a campaign to suppress my intuitive gifts; there was a physical campaign to convince me that what was natural to me was in fact unnatural. My sensitivity was insensitivity dealt with and the farther away I grow from the source of that disregard, the healthier and clearer I become. I contend with many deja vu experiences… I’ve always looked ahead at my life and taken a “snapshot” though what I see isn’t always crystal clear at the time, I recognize it when it happens in real-time! In many ways that has always been a comfort to me and a great lesson and validation of my abilities.

Do you think anyone can develop psychic skills?

Everyone travels on their Life Paths at different rates and has different emphases and focuses to contend with. The souls who have learning about psychic skills as a focus will more easily be able to exercise that ability in their lives.

What do you like best about working with PsychicNetworkers?

I’m really enjoying the interactions I have with people. Every one of us is a spark of light and I enjoy helping people to see beyond their own shadows.

Do you get readings for yourself?

Oh yes, I get readings for myself, by readers I have longevity with. Different perspectives always bring in things and ideas I might not have considered, and it also helps to have my own perspective confirmed! The more they get to know me, the deeper layers of experience are more easily revealed. I find that my relationships with my readers are among my most valuable relationships in my life.

I do read for myself, but the higher my interest in the answer, the more I might see what I want to see or not trust what I see. Our ego filters are always looking for a way in, and that’s one way. I am generally accurate with self reading, however, and it’s more likely that I won’t want to believe something I see, that I know is really happening. That’s where a reader “comes in handy”. Then I know for sure it’s not “my imagination”.

Is there anything else you would like to share about your abilities?

My abilities enrich my life in many ways but sharing them and using them to help others is Good Work. I believe it’s my True Work. It just feels good all around. Not only are others getting insight or advice they might use to makes their lives better, I’m able to share my knowledge without holding back by expressing my true self and uncovering their truth.

I’m a facilitator for an esoteric game called The Transformation Game. It is a tool, very much like the tarot to help you to discern your own motivations on all levels and it helps you to gain insights on problems and create your own solutions. The action of playing the game itself, actually jumpstarts the changes you desire and are working towards.

During a tarot reading session, my client asked a question relating to an incident that had happened to her during her travels in Europe. This incident had always haunted her, because she felt like she didn’t handle it as brilliantly as she should have, in the moment. As she vividly recounted her story, I found myself on the bus with her, in (Central?) Italy, as she was repulsed by the aggressive, lurid advance of a stranger, in Italian; a language she didn’t know very well. She could hardly believe what he had said to her, but it was clear that he thought he was being suave and sexy, and expected some sort of similar or positive response. In his defense, he was very young but somehow not young enough to justify the immaturity of his actions. She sat in her bus seat, politely waiting for her stop, but internally she stewed and racked her brain to think of some sort of response to put him in his place, in Italian, so he would not misunderstand her. As the bus c ame to her stop, she could only think of one thing and she stood up, walked to the door, turned around and said in a clear yet chiding tone, Pachyderma!!

She saw the smile slide off his face as she turned and left the bus, but she always thought she should have done better. In my vision, I stayed on to see his reaction, and he was stunned, let me tell you. He thought he was being all smooth like a cat, and she called him an elephant and a hippo! I still crack up when I think of it. It really made him pause and think. As a response, it was classy, yet unmistakable. She could not have said anything better, and I made sure to tell her that, in no way had she made a bad decision on that day. She had been seriously upset about it since then in the back of her mind, one of the many “what if?”s in the background that plague us all, and I was able to help her dispel her own false myth, a limiting belief she had about herself. Sometimes all it takes is higher perspective.
