			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Introduction to Rune Stones</p>
<p>Runes are small stones that have symbols inscribed on them. They are usually either turned over in a specific way or thrown and then read in a manner similar to tarot cards; an interpretation of the symbols shown. The word ‘rune’ actually means ‘something secret’ or ‘secret talk’ so it is no wonder that rune stones are still used today for divinatory purposes. They can be used just like tarot cards to focus psychic ability and provide inspiration for divination and similar skills. The runic alphabet itself dates back more than a thousand years to early Germanic languages, though these were later strongly influenced by Latin, they were again heavily used by Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. What is important in reading rune stones is the symbols that appear and how we interpret them. Often the rune stones are placed in a bag and randomly picked out and thrown onto a flat surface. The symbol shown, the position of the stone on the surface and the position in relation to the other stones can then tell us much about questions we wish to ask, whether these relate to the past, present or future</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Camden Unlock Event<br />
Amy Birkett.<br />
Today the psychic TV team braved the torrential English rain in Camden Market to bring psychic TV to you.<br />
Both Faith and Aldo were present and gave several fifteen minute face to face readings throughout the day. Some people who were current viewers had turned up specifically for a reading from a favourite psychic other visitors were keen on having some complicated issues resolved, or simply being reassured as to what their future might bring.<br />
I got the lucky chance to ask Faith and Aldo a few questions personally.<br />
I asked the psychics when they started working for psychic TV, Aldo in October last year and faith seven months earlier in March of 2010.<br />
My next question was why they decided to use their ability’s on screen. Aldo explained to me that he had just moved to the area and he discovered that psychic TV had a good reputation amongst many of the people he knew.<br />
Faith came across Psychic TV because she was giving a reading and she soon realised the person she was reading from was, in some way famous. He later gave her the number for psychic TV and although she felt unsure as to her chances of getting the job she later found out she had in fact been hired!<br />
My final question was if the psychic&#8217;s thought bringing Psychic TV to Camden Market was a good idea, both Aldo and Faith were in total agreement that it is a fantastic idea.<br />
Faith discussed with me her emotional ties with Camden Market because it was where she started working for herself, giving readings to passers by. Aldo commented of the way it will hopefully bring new, younger and diverse groups of people onto the psychic scene.<br />
I had a fantastic time spending the day with the psychic team and getting to look at many other interesting psychic, mind, body, and spirit stands with so many new and fascinating people to meet.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Runic Divination</p>
<p>The Runic system is perhaps one of the most historically interesting areas of<br />
psychic divination. The modern runic set is formed of 25 runes and is used by<br />
psychic mediums not only for divinations but also for the creation of psychic<br />
charms.</p>
<p>The runic system itself is the legacy of the early Germanic writing system,<br />
dating all the way back to around 150AD. The runes in this writing system are<br />
believed to be linked to the legend of the Norse God Odin and the epic poem<br />
Hávamál. The legend tells the tale of Odin being hung from the world tree<br />
Yggdrasil, with his own spear, in a sacrifice to the gods. He hung there for a<br />
period of nine days and nine nights, in order to learn about the nine worlds<br />
and to gain the wisdom needed to master them, and during this period he<br />
was gifted the knowledge of the sacred runes. This Germanic writing system<br />
eventually faded out of use, replaced by the more modern Latin alphabet in<br />
around 700AD.</p>
<p>The runes did however survive, with historical evidence showing them in<br />
use by the Romans. They we’re initially being used for magical purposes,<br />
protective charms on rings and amulets and curses scrawled on walls, even<br />
they word rune itself has mystical meaning, as it translates as ‘something<br />
hidden’ or ‘secret’. This use of runes as a magical focus continues to this day.</p>
<p>The modern day runic system only really entered general use in the 1980’s,<br />
this renaissance was triggered by a number of cards, books and runic<br />
sets being used for, and writing about the use of runes for divination as an<br />
alternative to the classical Tarot reader. These rune sets we’re based on the<br />
original 18 runes from the legend of Odin area a popular choice for those just<br />
starting to develop their divinatory powers, as they are one of those things<br />
in life that’s easy to learn but hard to master. The actually divination process<br />
involves the runes being mixed up in a bag and either drawn out one at a time<br />
or cast as a group on a flat surface so that a reading can be taken.</p>
<p>As with most divination methods though the skill is in the interpreting which<br />
can take years to master fully, everything from the orientation of the runes to<br />
the groupings and orders can effect the outcome and for an accurate reading<br />
its worth going to a practiced psychic.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Psychic Help Finding Love</p>
<p>Finding love is one of the more common requests from those seeking psychic help. The saying goes that finding your soul mate is your ticket to happiness and although psychics cannot tell you the exact person and time then can help you get onto the road to true love, with just a few simple steps.</p>
<p>First up, knowing where to look is a good start. Through psychic profiling and studying your aura a psychic can learn a lot about you, likes, dislikes and so on. Through this they can then build a picture that they can use to direct you towards people and places to look for people where you share a deeper level of compatibility with those you meet.</p>
<p>Next, help learning the signs. Love can be a complicated business and learning the signs to look for can be a long process. Psychic mediums can help you learn the signs that will aid you in finding the soul mate, providing the help you’ll need to form a strong relationship.</p>
<p>The last step is improving your attraction. We’re not talking physical looks here but your spiritual aura. Your aura can attract almost more strongly than your ‘looks’ and learning to tap into this potential can help you in attracting the right person.</p>
<p>These simple steps can lead to a meaningful relationship for many people suffering from love troubles, so why not end your suffering today and seek aid from a talented psychic.</p>

As a child I always felt connected to a spiritual realm and I knew I had powers and abilities that were beyond my control. I would spend hours looking out of my window at night staring into space with the inner knowledge that there was just something else there.<br />
Spirituality and holistic therapies have become a huge part of my life. I’m always keeping up to date with planetary transits and can feel movement before it actually happens. Therefore I use my intuition and clairsentience along with the knowledge I have to give readings to the very best of my ability.<br />
The mystery of the universe challenges us all and somewhere in everyone is an inner child that wants to delve in and find out what’s going on.<br />
I hope I can help others and inspire them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to Gaurav, there is no written evidence for a &#8220;Friday the 13th&#8221; superstition before the 19th century.[4][5][6] The earliest known documented reference in English occurs in Henry Sutherland Edwards&#8217; 1869 biography of Gioachino Rossini:<br />
Rossini was surrounded to the last by admiring and affectionate friends; Why Friday the 13th Is Unlucky<br />
Consequently, several theories have been proposed about the origin of the Friday the 13th superstition.<br />
One theory states that it is a modern amalgamation of two older superstitions: that thirteen is an unlucky number and that Friday is an unlucky day.<br />
In numerology, the number twelve is considered the number of completeness, as reflected in the twelve months of the year, twelve hours of the clock, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve Apostles of Jesus, twelve gods of Olympus, etc., whereas the number thirteen was considered irregular, transgressing this completeness. There is also a superstition, thought by some to derive from the Last Supper or a Norse myth, that having thirteen people seated at a table will result in the death of one of the diners.<br />
Friday has been considered an unlucky day at least since the 14th century&#8217;s The Canterbury Tales,[3] and many other professions have regarded Friday as an unlucky day to undertake journeys or begin new projects. Black Friday has been associated with stock market crashes and other disasters since the 1800s.[6][7] It has also been suggested that Friday has been considered an unlucky day because, according to Christian scripture and tradition, Jesus was crucified on a Friday.[8]<br />
A theory by author Charles Panati, one of the leading authorities on the subject of &#8220;Origins&#8221; maintains that the superstition can be traced back to ancient myth:<br />
The actual origin of the superstition, though, appears also to be a tale in Norse mythology. Friday is named for Frigga, the free-spirited goddess of love and fertility. When Norse and Germanic tribes converted to Christianity, Frigga was banished in shame to a mountaintop and labeled a witch. It was believed that every Friday, the spiteful goddess convened a meeting with eleven other witches, plus the devil — a gathering of thirteen — and plotted ill turns of fate for the coming week. For many centuries in Scandinavia, Friday was known as &#8220;Witches&#8217; Sabbath.&#8221;[9]<br />
Another theory about the origin of the superstition traces the event to the arrest of the legendary Knights Templar.<br />
The Knights Templar were a monastic military order founded in Jerusalem in 1118 C.E. Their original mission was to guide and protect Christian pilgrims along the path from Europe to Jerusalem during the Crusades. Through this mission, the Templars developed a banking system to protect the finances of the traveling pilgrims, then expanded this system throughout their holdings in Europe. Over time, France&#8217;s Philip IV of France amassed a debt to the Knights Templar for years of service. He had nearly depleted his money due to his ongoing battles with England. King Phillip became envious of the Knights Templar and their rise to power, so he set his sights on their famed fortunes. Philip devised a plan to arrest all the Knights Templar and charge them with crimes so devastating that no person or group would come to their defense. The charges against them were religious in nature and backed by the papacy of the Vatican and Pope Clement V. His plan had to be swift and carefully put together so as to not alert the Templars in advance.</p>
<p>Knights Templar and Philip IV<br />
King Phillip&#8217;s orders were sent a month in advance to the King&#8217;s Men and other Bailiffs. They were not to be opened till dawn on Friday, October 13, 1307. The charges against the Templars were of the highest accusations of heresy: that the Knights Templar asked members to spit on the cross and step on it, to deny Christ, to perform homosexual acts, and so on. The king&#8217;s orders were to engage and arrest every Templar in France. All Templar outposts, homes, wineries, mills, and castles were to be taken in the name of the King of France and Pope Clement V. This nationwide arrest was widely successful, and medieval torture tactics were used to obtain confessions from the Knights. This single act against the Templar Order is now viewed as one of the most unlucky days in History &#8211; Friday the 13th. King Phillip attempted to further bury the Templars in a public manner: a large event in front of the Notre Dame Cathedral would have Templar Grand Master Jacques De Molay publicly admit guilt of heresy. Instead, the defeated grandmaster took to his forum and apolgized to the people and Templar Knights for his weakness and for signing forced confessions. He then rescinded his original confession and testified to the public that he, his men, and all Templar Knights were innocent, despite their forced confessions. An embarrassed King Phillip was enraged by the old man&#8217;s actions and had him burned at the stake along with his second-in-command. De Molay&#8217;s dying last words were to curse King Phillip and Pope Clement V, claiming that by the year&#8217;s end they both would meet their demise. To add to the superstition of the Friday the 13th and to the power of the Templars both men did die that year. [4]<br />
The connection between the Friday the 13th superstition and the Knights Templar was popularized in the 2003 novel The Da Vinci Code. However, some experts think that it is a relatively recent correlation and is a modern-day invention.[3][7][10] For example, records of the superstition are rarely found before the 20th century, when it became extremely common. One author, noting that references are all but nonexistent before 1907 but frequently seen thereafter, has argued that its popularity derives from the publication that year of Thomas W. Lawson&#8217;s popular novel Friday, the Thirteenth,[11] in which an unscrupulous broker takes advantage of the superstition to create a Wall Street panic on a Friday the 13th.[4]<br />
In Spanish-speaking countries, instead of Friday, Tuesday the 13th is considered a day of bad luck, commonly referred to as &#8216;Martes y trece&#8217; (Literally translates to: Tuesday and thirteen).[12] The Fall of Constantinople, when the city fell to the Ottomans, marks the end of the Byzantine Empire. It happened on Tuesday, May 29, 1453. That is why the Greeks also consider Tuesday to be an unlucky day.[12]</p>
