Observations from a Working Medium: Layering

The image I’m sharing here is an illustration — not a capture.
It reflects what layering feels like to me during a reading.

When I begin a reading, I’m grounded.

That’s the baseline.
No violins. No fog machine. Just me.

The first thing I feel isn’t Spirit — it’s my client.

Their emotional weather.
Their starting point.
Sometimes a physical sensation in my body.
Sometimes a tonal shift I can’t quite put words to yet.

That baseline stays.

Then, sometimes, someone steps forward.

Not a swarm.
Not a spiritual mosh pit.
Not “EVERYONE TALK AT ONCE.”

One at a time.

Usually behind my shoulder.

If you’ve ever seen me glance slightly to the side during a reading and look like I’m politely listening to someone you can’t see — that’s exactly what’s happening.

They layer on top of the baseline.
They don’t erase it.

It’s like placing a transparent slide over a page.
You can still see what was underneath.

And here’s something important:

Multiple spirits don’t pile in and start shouting over each other.

That would be chaos.
And chaos isn’t how this works.

One speaks.
Then they step back.
Then, if someone else has something to say, they come forward.

When a spirit finishes, the presence “peels off.”
And the client’s original tone is still there.

Sequential.
Layered.
Relational.

Even last night in Solomons, one spirit tried to get my attention during Adam’s tour. I told him, “Not now. It’s Adam’s turn.”

And that was that.

No drama.
No power struggle.
Just boundaries.

I don’t make this happen.

I just notice it happening.

And then I translate.

Observations from a Working Medium: The First Shift Isn’t Spiritual — It’s Human

When people imagine mediumship, they usually picture something dramatic happening first.

A whisper in the ear.
A shadow in the corner.
A chandelier flickering ominously.
Possibly a Victorian ancestor materializing with strong opinions and unfinished business.

I hate to disappoint the horror genre, but that’s not how it starts for me.

Before anything “spiritual” happens, I ground myself. Not in a mystical incense-cloud way — in a very practical, nervous-system way. I settle. I breathe. I make sure I’m not carrying whatever nonsense happened earlier in the day into someone else’s reading. Spirit does not need to compete with my grocery list. Or my dog. Or my email. Or the fact that I forgot where I put my glasses five minutes ago.

Because if I’m not steady, I can’t tell what belongs to me and what doesn’t. And that gets messy fast.

And the first shift I usually notice isn’t a spirit.

It’s my client.

There’s often a subtle physical sensation paired with a tonal impression. Sometimes it feels heavy. Sometimes guarded. Sometimes bright. Sometimes quietly hopeful. It’s less a storyline and more a mood that registers in my body.

And just to be clear — I don’t absorb it. I don’t take it home. I’m not wandering through Target later wondering why I suddenly feel like I need to process someone else’s unresolved childhood in aisle seven. I observe it.

That distinction matters more than people realize.

We are all constantly reading emotional tone. Walk into a room and you know if something happened five minutes before you got there. Nobody says a word — but you feel it. Humans broadcast more than we realize. We just pretend we don’t. (It’s more convenient that way.)

Most people do this unconsciously.

In a reading, I’m doing it on purpose.

I didn’t always understand this part of the process as clearly as I do now. Early on, I assumed the “spiritual” part would be the impressive part. The main event. The fireworks.

It turns out the fireworks are rarely the point.

That initial baseline often tells me more about what someone is truly seeking than the beautifully constructed question they rehearsed in advance.

And that first human shift? It’s important.

Because if I rush past it — if I go hunting for something dramatic — I miss the point entirely.

People don’t come to me for spectacle.

They come because something in their life feels unresolved. Heavy. Unclear. Tender.

If I don’t understand that emotional starting point, I’m not really listening.

And mediumship, at its core, is listening.

Only after that settling — that attunement — does other information sometimes begin to arrive.

But it doesn’t start with thunder.
It doesn’t start with spectacle.

It starts with attention.

Grounded. Observing. Human first.

If you suffer from paraskevidekatriaphobia, the fear of Friday the 13th, or cryophobia, the fear of cold, this month may feel like a double challenge.

The calendar has given us three Friday the 13ths in 2026, the first one arrives this week, with the others coming in March and November.

But despite the chills in the air, the history and ghosts of Solomons never seem to mind the weather, and neither do we, so there will be a ghost tour this Friday evening at 7pm.

If you are brave enough to face both superstition and the cold, you can reserve your spot at SpookySolomons.com.

Dress warm!

Card for today, February 12, 2026!

TRANSFORM IT

What's standing in front of you, hindering you from moving forward towards your dreams?

Is it something within you, or something external - something that makes you think you'll never be able to move forward, resolve and issue, get to where you need to be financially, or fix a broken relationship?

This card tells us to look inside AND outside for what seems to be keeping us stuck in place. Is the thing that's blocking you caused by someone else? A situation? Your own patterned thinking? You can take these and remake them.

When you transform a situation, it's actually YOU that changes, not the thing that's blocking you:

- You realize that you can relate to the person you think is stopping you by changing the way you respond to them
- You realize it's your thought patterns that are keeping you from having any forward momentum
- You can look at the situation from different perspectives by viewing it from a non-emotional point of view; there are other ways to transform a situation other than accepting it or simply leaving it
- Sometimes the transformation is leaving the situation entirely - even though that's the last thing you'd ever want to do

When this card comes up, it means to look at the situation (the thing that leaving you confounded) from multiple angles and reshaping the situation so that real, profound transformation can occur within YOU.

with love,
Lynn 🪽

"The Watermen's Widow" was really interesting. I read it in about a day, couldn't put it down! I have the other book also, it's in my next stack to read. Great books. Love Carol's research and writing style. :)

Two very powerful books about Southern Maryland history are The Waterman’s Widow and The Farmer’s Wife by Carol Booker.

These are not just true crime stories. They are carefully researched works of local history that bring the past to life in a way that is both compelling and deeply human.

Carol has an extraordinary gift for placing readers into the past, helping us understand not only the crimes themselves, but the communities, the people, and the times in which they lived.

Both books are about murders that take place in the area. The Waterman’s Widow about a murder on Solomons Island in 1900. And the Farmer's Wife, a murder in Friendship, Maryland in 1877. These are stories that might otherwise have been forgotten, and I am grateful that they were preserved and told with such care.

It was a true honor for me to be invited to write a comment for the back cover of The Farmer’s Wife. As someone who cares deeply about preserving and sharing local history, it meant a great deal to have my name on a work that does exactly that.

If you have an interest in true crime, history, and specifically Southern Maryland history, I strongly encourage you to read these books. They are available through New Bay Books and can also be found at the Calvert Marine Museum.

Some stories are so powerfully told that we can't put the book down. Others help us understand where we came from. These books do both.

To my friends and followers,

I see you. I see how amazing you really are.

Even if you don't see it in yourself yet, trust me, it's true.

Good night, loves. 🪽
