  1. Bless the deck.I ask for the highest good and the highest frequency beings from the highest realms to bless me and these cards. Hold the deck and tap it before you shuffle.
  2. Shuffle until you hear stop.I just shuffle into it. I kind of hear a stop. Then pull the card.
  3. Read it from your heart.What is this card saying to me? What is it feeling? Notice what it looks like and which words pop out. Then say thank you.

“A psychic medium is a person who can bridge the gap between this 3D reality and the Spirit world. It’s something that has been around forever.”
Victoria Bond, in this video
“Our guides can often talk to us, and Spirits can talk to us with our own voices, if that makes sense. So messages can come through us very deliberately.”

Questions this video answers

What are the signs you are a psychic medium?

Number one is heightened intuition. Have you ever had a gut feeling that something is not quite right, or someone is going to ring you and then they do ring you? The second sign is vivid dreams and messages. The third one is sensing a presence or an energy around you. Number four is hearing voices or messages. Number five, strong empathy and emotional sensitivity. Number six, sudden and unexplained knowing.

Do psychic mediums hear voices out loud?

A lot of people think to be clairaudient you literally have to hear a voice like I’m talking to you, like it’s external, but this is not usually the case. It certainly can be the case. But more than likely, it’s common that you are hearing yourself speaking, but you’re like, that’s interesting, where did that come from? If you were like, wow, I talk to myself a lot, definitely a sign that you’re a psychic medium.

How do I develop my psychic abilities?

Grounding is absolutely key when it comes to being a psychic medium. Not to make you small, but to connect you in to the Earth. The top tip I would say would be meditation. So meditating 10 minutes a day, 20 minutes a day, however long you want. I only managed like seven minutes a day, probably for the first year. So meditation, journaling and playing.

Can I learn to read oracle cards intuitively?

It took me a while to discover card reading, because I thought it was this huge science. And of course tarot is a bit of a science, but oracle card reading is more intuitive based. The main thing is I come from my heart. What is this card saying to me? What is it feeling? What does it look like? Do any words pop out for me? And I go into that.

“This angel means everything to me.”

The gift Victoria could not put her name on, the morning she said yes

Feathers, butterflies and a little angel

When I was at school there was a girl, a beautiful girl. She was an acquaintance of mine, and she passed away way too young. What happened was she was showing up in my dreams. I could feel her presence. She was showing me butterflies and she was showing me feathers, and I knew things, like baby pink was her favourite colour.

One day I’ve been asking, am I a psychic medium, or am I crazy? Give me more signs. And I started getting really overtaken with signs. I walked into a room and there was feathers everywhere, like someone was having a huge big feather pillow fight. I went for a walk with my friend and there was monarch butterflies, on letterboxes, on paintings, landing on me, swirling around me.

I said, three more signs, three more signs today, and then I will do what she is asking me to do. And all of a sudden I heard stop, really, really loud in my head. So I stopped, and I looked into this shop, and what I noticed was a single duvet over a bed. It was baby pink, and it had monarch butterflies all over it.

Then I literally was told, go into the shop. So I walk in there, and I see this little angel. I think it’s holding a little bunch of flowers. It was a tiny little angel. And I knew it was her, and she had been saying to me, I wanted you to give a gift to my Mum.

“This is a gift. I can’t put my name on it. It’s from her. It’s not from me.”
Victoria Bond, in this video

That’s when she burst out crying, and she said to me, this angel means everything to me. Her friends at school used to call her angel. She had massive angel wings in her bedroom. Of course she was my acquaintance, so I didn’t know people called her angel.

I was able to connect a mother and a daughter together, and I was absolutely petrified. I was shaking. All of these signs I gave you are all really simple signs, but that’s how it begins.

Your gifts aren’t blocked. You may just be overriding them.

If your heart is pulling you towards that question of am I a psychic medium, and how do I go deeper into this, I really invite you to go down that rabbit hole. Because we are not just here as human beings in a 3D reality. We are literally multidimensional beings, and there’s so much more to us when it comes to past lives, galactic lineages, what we have already within our DNA. And if you’re being called, you’re being called for a reason.

Hi, and welcome back to my channel, Awaken with Victoria Bond. I’m Victoria, and I’m super excited to go into this mysterious and interesting topic of psychic mediumship. So the question for you is, have you ever asked the question, am I a psychic medium? If you have, you are not alone, because so many other people are asking that question right now. So I cannot wait to go through this masterclass with you, and also share a very special story that comes from my heart about how I found out I was a psychic medium.

Before we jump into this masterclass, I just want to go through a little bit about what a psychic medium is, and I want to make it really, really basic. A psychic medium is a person who can bridge the gap between this 3D reality and the Spirit world. This is a practice that has been brought through in so many cultures for so many centuries. So it’s not like it’s something new. It’s something that has been around forever.

So let’s go through some of the signs that will show you whether you are a psychic medium. These are very, very common, and I just want to go through them with you, because quite often it is these simple signs that we do not put two and two together, which is actually what shows us that we are a psychic medium.

So number one is heightened intuition. Have you ever had a gut feeling that something is not quite right, or someone is going to ring you and then they do ring you? This is a part of being human, and essentially we’ve all got these abilities. But I just want you for a moment to look into that sign. When have you had a heightened intuition, and when did you follow that intuition, and when were you correct with that?

The second sign is vivid dreams and messages. This is really, really cool, because so many people come to me and they’re like, I had these predictions. I literally had a dream about seeing this person, or whatever, and it came true. So that is kind of the extremes of that. But the other part of that is having a vivid dream, and the feelings that are in that dream really equate to what’s going on in your life. So this is definitely a sign of being a psychic medium.

The third one is sensing a presence or an energy around you. This is that whole scenario of you’re walking down the street, and you nearly feel like there is eyes on you, or you feel like you’re walking with somebody. Another example is feeling a relative, like your granddad, feeling their essence around. And this can be in the form of nearly smelling them, nearly seeing them, but it’s really apparent that the energy is around you. Definitely a psychic medium if you sense that.

Number four is hearing voices or messages. A lot of people think to be clairaudient you literally have to hear a voice like I’m talking to you, like it’s external, but this is not usually the case. It certainly can be the case. One of my sisters does hear externally from herself, so she can hear a baby crying or a woman speaking in a different language, and there’s nobody around. So it can happen. But more than likely, it’s common that you are hearing yourself speaking, but you’re like, that’s interesting, where did that come from? Our guides can often talk to us, and Spirits can talk to us with our own voices, if that makes sense. So messages can come through us very deliberately. And if you were like, wow, I talk to myself a lot, I walk around talking and answering myself, definitely a sign that you’re a psychic medium.

So number five, strong empathy and emotional sensitivity. This is one of my favourites, because I am an empath, and all it takes is for me to be in somebody else’s presence, even a Spirit presence, to feel their emotions. I can get goosebumps. I can feel overly emotional myself, yet I am not emotional. I am mirroring the other. So this is the strong empathic gift that many of us have, and sometimes we switch it off. But if you’re tapping into your psychic mediumship skills and asking, am I a psychic medium, you’re probably going to be feeling some type of deep empathy or emotional sensitivity. A lot of people that feel really up and down and feel all these emotions are quite often empathing on the collective, or the people around them.

Number six, sudden and unexplained knowing. This is about being claircognisant. You just know things, but there’s no logical explanation, and it just drops in. It might be the most random question and you’ve got an answer for it, and someone goes, how did you know that? And you’re like, I actually don’t know. Or another way is you just know. You just have this innate wisdom. My other sister, ever since a little girl, she has been told she is an old soul. So the wisdom that comes with this sign is that you just know things. Things pop in and you’re like, I don’t think that’s a good idea, maybe don’t do that. So it can be absolutely sudden, or it can be more like this deep wisdom and this innate knowing.

So do any of those resonate with you? I’m going to tell you a little story about how all of this came about for me. When I was at school there was a girl, a beautiful girl. She was an acquaintance of mine, and she passed away way too young. Long story short, I know her mum and her brother. We all just happened to move to a town and all got to know each other. It was quite bizarre. But what happened was she was showing up in my dreams. I could feel her presence. She was showing me butterflies and she was showing me feathers, and I knew things, like baby pink was her favourite colour. She showed me so many things. I was tapping into all of my different senses.

I could feel the feelings when it was coming up to an anniversary or Christmas or her mum’s birthday, and I’d get this urge to want to go buy her mum something, and I had no idea there was an anniversary or anything. This was at the beginning of my journey, so I was kind of like, am I a psychic medium, or am I crazy? A lot of people do ask these questions, because we’re not taught about our intuitive abilities, our superpowers.

So going back to the story. One day I’ve been asking, am I a psychic medium, or am I crazy? Give me more signs. And I started getting really overtaken with signs. I walked into a room and there was feathers everywhere, like someone was having a huge big feather pillow fight. I went for a walk with my friend and there was monarch butterflies, on letterboxes, on paintings, landing on me, swirling around me. I was like, am I in a fairy tale? I’m going nuts. People would send me emojis of monarch butterflies.

And I had these gut knowings, these urges, to reach out to her mum, who was my client at the time, because I was a hairdresser. I had these urges to reach out to her sister in law, who she had never met, because she had died really young, but she was my friend. I had urges to check in on her husband and her son. Absolute urges. I would ring her up and tell her something about her husband or her son, and she said, how did you know that? So I was basically psychic, but I didn’t know what to do with it.

And I just want to emphasise, the story is not about showcasing how psychic I am. It’s really about saying, when you start going into this cycle of bringing in the psychic mediumship, it’s really important to understand how to centre yourself within this, and how to hold the power. So I said, help me. What is going on? Show me. And I was literally bombarded with all of this, and I was like, this is enough. This is totally enough.

So I reached out to her sister in law, and I said, this has been happening, this has been happening, this has been happening. I feel like I really need to reach out to her mum, but I don’t want to create any kind of pain. Losing a child must be the hardest thing in the world. And she said, Victoria, you have to. There’s just too much going on. I said, three more signs. Three more signs today, and then I will do what she is asking me to do.

And then I got a message from a client wanting to get her hair done, and she had the same name. And I was like, that’s too weird. Fine. That’s one sign. I went and saw my husband, and I said, I’ve got to go to the shop to get some milk before work. Now, I parked in the most weirdest place. I didn’t just go directly to the shop. I had to walk past shops to get the milk that I wanted. And all of a sudden I heard stop, really, really loud in my head. So I stopped, and I looked into this shop that I’d stopped in front of, and what I noticed was a single duvet over a bed. It was baby pink, and it had monarch butterflies all over it. I nearly dropped my phone. I think I voice messaged my friend and said, oh my God, you are not going to believe this. Sign two.

And then as I was walking past another shop, I literally was told, go into the shop. Why would I go into this hardware shop? I lived in a little village, so there was literally half a dozen shops all together. So I walk in there, and I see this little angel. I think it’s holding a little bunch of flowers. It was a tiny little angel. And I had been pulled into shops over the last month, and there’s all these cute little angels in these random shops, and they kept basically saying, buy me, buy me. And I was like, okay, I’m losing my mind. Fine. You want me to buy you.

And I knew it was her, and she had been saying to me, I wanted you to give a gift to my Mum. And I was like, I don’t know. I’m not crazy. This is crazy. So I bought the little angel, and I scurried out of the shop. There was three signs, really, really strong. And a song had been playing, an angel song, over and over and over, as well as the butterflies, as well as the feathers, as well as knowing about the light pink, and the needing to reach out to the mum.

So long story short, I was like, oh my God, I got the three signs. I have to stick to my promise. So I said, and at this stage I’m talking out loud, I’m going to ring your mum, and if your mum happens to be free to come and see me, I will tell her. So I ring her up and I go, hey, how’s it going? Are you free to come over for 15 minutes sometime? I made it a really short time frame. And she said, oh, actually, I’m kind of busy. I’m going to be going into town. I said, don’t worry, it’s all good, it doesn’t even matter. And I was like, yes, it didn’t work, I don’t have to tell her anything. She said, you know what, actually, if you’re available now, I could pop over for 15 minutes. My jaw dropped, and I was like, oh no, oh no, oh no, what have I done by going down this am I a psychic medium path?

So I kept my word. I went home and I said to my husband, can you take the babies into the other room, because her mum is going to come over and have a cup of tea. And he said, what is happening? And I go, I can’t tell you. I hadn’t told my husband anything. And he was like, Victoria, tell me. And I was like, no, because you’ll stop me, and I don’t want to be stopped, because I have to do this thing. And I told him everything. And he said to me, well, that makes a whole lot more sense than you just wanting to give her presents all the time. Because I had gone to her house a couple of times and popped random presents by her door and said, love, Victoria.

She came over, and I said, you might want to sit down. And I told her everything, and at the very end of it I said to her, this is a gift. I can’t put my name on it. It’s from her. It’s not from me. That’s when she burst out crying, and she said to me, this angel means everything to me. Her friends at school used to call her angel. She had massive angel wings in her bedroom. Now, of course, she was my acquaintance, so I didn’t know people called her angel. Her favourite colour was baby pink. She always wore a baby pink cap. And monarch butterflies were huge.

And all of a sudden she just came through me, and I started saying what she is saying. And this was because of all the voices in my head. I realised they weren’t my voices. They were hers. I was able to connect a mother and a daughter together, and I was absolutely petrified. I was shaking. I was afraid I was going to get locked up, and I was afraid I was going to really hurt somebody, because we don’t want to give the wrong information out. It was a bit rough. I didn’t have the mentorship. I didn’t know the fundamentals. I was brought up Catholic. I was just like, I’m crazy. And all of these signs I gave you are all really simple signs, but that’s how it begins. And of course, with the fundamentals, with the teachings of those who have been in those shoes, we can create something beautiful, with boundaries and standards.

So let’s get into the next part of this. One of the key aspects about being a psychic medium is being able to receive messages from the Spirit world. This is really about tuning into your intuition, and just like the story that I shared with you, it really is about having a whole lot of faith in yourself. So having a really strong integrity, and trusting that you are as authentic as you possibly can be.

And being grounded is one of the biggest tips that I have for people, because with me, I wasn’t very grounded. I was busy being busy, in this kind of burnout mode. I hadn’t slept. I had little children that were really terrible sleepers. I was anxious, and I had Spirit coming in and out, and I wasn’t very grounded. So grounding is absolutely key when it comes to being a psychic medium. When we go to places like in meditation, or when we’re tapping into our psychic abilities, or when we’re dreaming, it’s nearly like we’re lifting out of our body. So it’s super important to put in grounding exercises. Not to make you small, but to connect you in to the Earth.

So how can you develop your abilities? The top tip I would say would be meditation. For me, I started putting in a practice of meditation every day. And I can hear some of you now saying, I can’t meditate. I’d find it too hard. I’ve got a lot of mind chatter. So many psychic mediums have that issue, including me. Even when my babies were sleeping, I had massive amounts of mind chatter. I didn’t realise that was not just a busy brain. Of course it was, but it was also Spirit trying to talk to me, because I was asking, am I a psychic medium?

So meditating 10 minutes a day, 20 minutes a day, however long you want. Now, I was a busy Mum and I had a business, so I only managed like seven minutes a day, probably for the first year. I would just get a chakra balancing meditation off YouTube, and that was a non negotiable. And if I fell asleep, don’t worry about it, because it’s still going into the subconscious. If you are busy and you have your nine to five and you’ve got all the things going on in your life, there is no reason why you can’t train yourself to sleep to a guided meditation. This is something that I have been doing for absolute years, listening to beautiful white noise, or the waves, with somebody that I trust in the meditation, giving me suggestions about myself and happiness and joy and what I want to manifest.

So another tip is something that I resisted for so long. I’m like, I do not have time for that. And it’s simply journaling. My coach told me a long, long time ago, you need a journal. I was like, nah, not the way that I roll. And one of the things that really helped me to unlock my psychic mediumship was to get what was in my head out on paper, whether that was about relationships, or mostly feelings for me. I have written literally dozens of journals now. I love it as a sacred practice, a spiritual practice, to get out my journal and write some questions down and answer those questions.

That’s my favourite way to journal. I write down, what am I feeling? What am I manifesting? What’s going on for me? What are my shadows at the moment? And then I answer my own questions, or I can pull some oracle cards and then spend some time in the spiritual practice. There’s so many different ways that you can journal. It could be just like dear diary, or you could ask the questions, or you can literally just draw and scribble, and this is where sometimes the channels come out. It might just look like a whole lot of scribbles, and you look at it afterwards and go, whoa. It could be your higher self coming through, or it could be a guide. As you start writing, it’s nearly like you stop thinking, and what is coming through can be from the subconscious, or it can be literally you being a channel.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be every day. Just like I said, seven minute meditation, make it a non negotiable. For me, I journal at least every week, sometimes three times a day, sometimes pages on end, sometimes just a sentence. I just go with how I feel. But I do make it a practice, because I know my channelling abilities of being a psychic medium really come through when I’m doing journaling.

And of course the third tip is practicing, and this is how we develop our skills. I started off with one oracle deck, and I really loved the big ones, because they’re really intricate. There’s so many different types of oracle cards and tarot decks that you can get. And honestly, one of the biggest things that I did, along with the meditation and the journaling, was I just started playing with cards. I would pull myself a card. I would say to a sister, or a friend, or even a client, because I was hairdressing and I had a lot of spiritual clients that were being attracted to me, and they were teaching me along the way, let’s get out the cards and let’s just play.

So this is the third tip, playing. You need to be able to play. And this is one of the downfalls that I had. I took it all so seriously. I was like, what if I ruin her life, and what if I ruin my life, and what if I get rejected from my family and my peers, because this isn’t normal behaviour? So I wish I could go back to myself and say, hey, you know what? Play, play, play, play, because this is what life is about. Life is too short.

So you can get out your cards, and this is the thing that I really like to do. I now have a ton of different cards. I like to get a new deck, and I see it like a new best friend, so I really spend time connecting into the cards. I will carry a deck of cards around in my handbag for a week. I will literally sleep with them next to my bed. I will take them from room to room and just get to know them. I like to look at every card. I like to tap in. I like to clear them. These are things that I teach in Magnificent Mediumship, the basics as well. I hold on to it, and I ask for the highest good and the highest frequency beings from the highest realms to bless me and these cards and those who I read for. And I tap the cards before I read for somebody, including myself.

So I pull out the card. I just shuffle into it. I kind of hear a stop, to be honest. You can use any of your clairs for that. And I look at the card and I read the card, but the main thing is I come from my heart. What is this card saying to me? What is it feeling? I will just tap into the feelings of what the card is saying. What does it look like? Do any words pop out for me? And I go into that. It took me a while to discover card reading, because I thought it was this huge science. And of course tarot is a bit of a science, but oracle card reading is more intuitive based.

Bringing cards into your spiritual practice every day can make a really, really big difference. I always say thank you for that card. Thank you, Spirit team. Thank you, light beings. Thank you to my higher self, and whoever I read for, and their Spirit teams as well. So meditation, journaling and playing.

And playing can come in different forms as well. Obviously we play these games when we’re younger. I remember when I was an apprentice hairdresser, one of the girls I worked with and I were sitting there having our morning tea, and I’d say, let’s play a game. Let’s play the psychic game. I didn’t realise I was actually strengthening my psychic mediumship gifts. And I would sit there and I’d be like, I see you travelling, and I see you with three kids, and I see you marrying a guy that you travelled with. And I’d go into this elaborate story. I’d really get into it, like storytelling. And this girl said to me years later, do you remember when we used to play that game, and do you remember how accurate you were?

And it’s really funny, because my nose is getting itchy now, which means for me that Spirit is around. So there’s physical signs that we can get as well. Playing is very much in the consciousness of being childlike. Spirits are around children. They’re a lot closer to Spirit, because they’re not as conditioned. So those are the three little tips. I hope that really helps you, because without those three things, I certainly would probably still be asking the question, am I a psychic medium, and how do I go about it?

I would love to hear from you, if you have had any stories that are similar to what I’ve shared with you. I’ve given you a whole lot of signs. I’ve given you some tips on how to enhance your psychic mediumship gifts. Maybe you want to share with me one of those tips that you want to implement in your life, because one thing I know as a spiritual coach is taking action is massive. It can be a little micro step or it can be a macro step, but all those little micro steps make one big macro rise.

For me, if I hadn’t listened to all those little steps, like the feather and the angel and the butterfly, and talking to the sister in law and then talking to the mum, I wouldn’t be here with my signature program, Magnificent Mediumship, or this masterclass, or this YouTube channel. It was those little moments, those little micro steps, that made such a big difference. So what action are you going to put in right now? Are you going to start implementing meditation, or journaling, or card reading, or learning more about yourself, about Spirit, about your gifts?

So in conclusion, discovering your psychic medium abilities is such a personal and unique journey. Maybe you don’t want to be a psychic medium who does online readings. Maybe it’s just that you want to step more into your own consciousness. I always say, growing into yourself, remembering who you are. Whatever the reason is, if your heart is pulling you towards that question of am I a psychic medium, and how do I go deeper into this, I really invite you to go down that rabbit hole. Because we are not just here as human beings in a 3D reality. We are literally multidimensional beings. And if you’re being called, you’re being called for a reason.
