That's the only horse I've ever seen Patrick on, too.  In two dreams he was riding a white horse, and when I explained one of those dreams to my aunt (during the reading), that's when she pulled the sun card-- which had a white horse on it.


OMG! Ok, you are NOT going to believe this but I took it upon myself to do a reading on Patrick yesterday (I hope you don't mind- I will private message it to you when I get a chance to get my notes together) and the VERY FIRST CARD that came up was THE SUN with a man riding a white horse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From the information that I got from the reading, it seems that he was in a very high position of power and authority (I get the strong sense he was involved with royalty) - a great leader of some sort who everyone looked up to. Very powerful. He was very passive in nature but he was very passionate meaning that his passive demeaner would quickly change into being very fierce at only a moment's notice if needed. He kept things in order.

Now, I know your aunt said that HE looked after YOU, but what I got from the reading I did is that YOU attended to HIS needs like a servant of some sort (which actually makes alot more sense to me than what your aunt said). I also get the feeling that you were one of many women "servants" (for lack of a better word- I don't know what they would've called them back then), that attended to him. I feel that he grew to love you. You stood out to him over all the others. It's almost like he became obsessed with you (not in a bad way- he just  loved you VERY much). I get the sense that you loved him too, but you, being a servant, well, I get the feeling that the  love between the 2 of you had to be kept hidden because of his position, but he was willing to give up his authority/ position that he had to be with you because he loved you so much, he felt he could not be without you. I don't know if this actually happened that he ended up giving up his position or not, but I feel that he might have so that you could be together because it does say in the cards that there was a "giving up of authority" so he may very well have given up his position in order to be with you. I also sensed that you didn't reciprocate his feelings at first even though you loved him too because it scared you because there may have been severe consequences if the  love between the 2 of you was to be discovered by anyone. (I don't know anything about the laws about that kind of thing back then but I think that just by using my common knowledge, that a relationship like that between such a public and powerful figure and a servant would not be looked upon nicely.) He might even have been married at the time.

Also, the cards said that you are going to be receiving some very important news which will release uncertainties and end the waiting. Unknown information is finally being revealed to you that makes sense and brimming with truths.
(ah, HELLO???? Could that be this reading you are looking at right now??? LOL) Any feelings of insecurity and unworthiness are to be banished from your mind. You are to be reminded of the hard work that is necessary in order to gain understanding. Desire is not enough. Action must be taken.

The last card that was chosen was The Star
(which "co-incidentally" depicts a lion on the front much like the lion on the crest that you posted). Follow your heart without fear- don't be afraid. This will be resolved with the best of results- believe in your ability. Your conscious and subconscious minds are working together and merging to bring about a new awareness of the situation that allows you to see this situation in a new light.

(Note:  A light bulb just went off, and here it is around 2 years later.  Lol!  On that paranormal forum I used to frequent, I remember someone telling me that they think it's like I act like I don't deserve Patrick's love, or that I'm unworthy and afraid.  Well, in Nat's reading the cards said - "
Any feelings of insecurity and unworthiness are to be banished from your mind").


The second reading

I did is called the Spirit Spread


Card #1- Who the spirit is- A thoughtful, older man (not necessarily an "old" man), quiet and serene in nature. He possesses much authority. He is entranced by the prospect of the divine feminine that has been promised to him (um, could that be you???) and is alone and waiting for her to return.

Card #2- Why he is with you- Courtly but strong willed, upright and honorable, he is bringing you messages and understanding.

 
Card #3- What he wants you to know- Memories, nostalgia and hopes from the past. He is longing for the sweetness of the past. He is offering you something sacred.

Card #4
- What actions you can take- Use your inner knowledge after information has been given.
 

Card#5-
Summary/Outcome- Magic! Your powers and abilities and the strength of love can create a new awareness that brings with it magic and joy. (see??? I told you that you have something wonderful waiting for you!)

Now, I want you to know that I did not "color" this reading at all or add anything to it. It is exactly as I read the cards using my intuition to help guide me in interpreting the cards for the question at hand (which was- who is Patrick and what does he mean to Kristin?)

Do you have any idea of which kind of "servant" I was?  They had servants for everything back then.  If you don't pick up on that, that's fine.  I'm just curious.


Ok, as I was reading your message, guess who popped up? Yup- he's here. Patrick. Boy is he ever strong! He is urgently wanting to communicate with you BIG TIME. I just asked him what kind of a servant you were and I heard "chatelaine". I have no idea what that is so I looked it up on Google (the whole time shaking because Patrick is VERY impatient!). Here is what I found:
 

Chatelaine- Said to be from the French for "Lady of the House",
Chatelaine- the mistress of a chateau or large country house


You were the head of the household. You were in charge of all the goings on and all the other women "servants" of the house.
I'm trying to get him to calm down because he is extremely impatient and strong because I know you may not get this message for a while and I can't have him hanging around me like this all night! lol ! I can barely type this.


I will describe to you what he looks like to me:

Ok, first of all he is a big guy! Very husky looking. Not fat- just husky. He looks, how can I explain this.....fierce. Like if I didn't know any better, I would be scared shitless if I saw him in a dark alley! LOL! The funny thing is, he is NOT fierce at all- he just looks that way. He actually is a very loving and kind spirit with a gentle nature (although at the moment he is too excited and impatient to seem "gentle" lol) but I get the feeling that if he got upset or someone betrayed him- LOOK OUT! He has yellow-blonde hair- straight probably to about his chin or so. It is like YELLOW- like gold. He does have very rough features- now I know what you meant when you said he wasn't "classically handsome". He isn't ugly by any means though. Anyhow, his clothes- holy moly! He looks like he is of royalty and there are alot of designs on them. He is wearing mostly burgundy and royal blue and I think some gold. He has on a cloak that comes down to about mid-shin. His shirt is one of those shirts with the really puffy sleeves at the top near the shoulders and then it gets tighter around his arms and then flares out at the wrists. I hope I am explaining this right. I don't know much about that time period's clothing. Maybe I should look for some pictures on the internet to show you later. Anyhow, the shirt is a royal blue color with gold stripes on the puffy part of the sleeves (the top). He is wearing a burgundy vest- like thingy over top of the shirt with like gold sewn into it. The vest is tight and his royal blue shirt hangs down below the bottom of the vest if you know what I mean. He is wearing tight pants that come down to about his knee and then has on white-ish tights underneath with black shoes that are very pointy at the toe. I've never seen shoes like that before- they actually look kind of funny. lol (sorry Patrick). Anyhow, his clothes are VERY fancy- lots of intricate sewing and designs on them. He definitely looks like royalty for sure. I've never seen clothing like that before- very fancy and colorful - mostly royal blue, burgundy and some gold.


Ok, he seems to have calmed down some. Thank goodness. He was making me panicky! I hope you get this soon! lol

He is still here. He has calmed down a bit now, thank god. I was getting panicky there because i was feeling his impatience. I told him to cool it because I wasn't sure when you would get the message! So does any of that make sense to you? Do you know what a chatelaine is? And what I described him as- does that sound right to you? I know you saw him when you were 7 so is that what you remember? I asked him if he loved you and he had tears in his eyes and had both hands covering his heart.

******
no, you weren't married and I don't think you had any children together either. I think you were his mistress though. I heard
"mistress". I'm getting the strong impression that you were his mistress for sure. I keep hearing that word over and over. I think he was married to someone else actually.
 
(Note:  I never knew this until almost a year later, but it turns out that the wife of a laird, chatelaines, etc. would be addressed as such).

When I asked him if he gives you signs- the fan thing popped into my head- that was him. He doesn't like people using your bedroom. lol. He is very possessive of you. He doesn't want to "Share" you with anyone. He was pissed off that someone else was using your bedroom. I think his favourite place to be with you is your bedroom. I think he feels he has you "all to himself" there. That's pretty funny! LOL! Made me laugh. I asked if you two are soulmates and I heard "you better believe it".

That's all I seem to be able to get right now. I keep asking if there is a way that you might know that he is around and I'm not getting anything. Although I did see a book open on a desk in my mind's eye. I don't know if that would mean anything to you or not. Does anything weird ever happen with books or paper around you?

(Note: I think perhaps the open book was his way of saying he’s influencing my writing. And isn't it odd that the puppy dog paperweight we have (which my Dad wanted and Mom named "Patrick") is lying on A BOOK!!!! Lol!

Also, about him hanging out in my room… well, many times  -especially during those first weeks the readings were done - I'd turn out the light to go to sleep.  A few minutes later I’d feel a depression on the end of the bed. I always check to see if its my cat jumping up on the bed, though it doesn’t feel like it’d be her.  Every time I checked, I discovered nothing there.  No cat.  I guess it’s possible that that’s Patrick?  It never scared me).

*************

Well he seemed to answer to the name Patrick , although that may be because that is what you call him. I just asked in my head "what is his name" and I heard the name
William. I'm honestly not good with getting names though I will admit. I mostly get impressions and pictures. As far as where he was from, I get the impression that he was Scottish actually. Not Irish. I asked what your name was and I heard "annabelle". Now, like I said, I am not afraid to admit that I am not good with getting names so that could be wrong and also I think I remember reading that in the reading your aunt did too now that I think about it so that could be tainting what I am getting regarding your name. But William and Annabelle were the first names I heard when I asked both questions. Is William even a Scottish name? I don't know.

Sorry I can't answer your question about the tent dream. I really think he has left- I don't feel him around me at all now.

*************

OMG! The transcript of the reading my aunt did was edited.  I left out parts where my aunt got sidetracked talking about herself.  In one part, near the beginning, she asked for me to say the first name that popped in my head.  Guess what it was.... William.

OMG! You must be joking!!! GEEZ- I guess I should take my own advice then and trust myself more! WOW!

Well there ya go! I sure wasn't planning on that happening but wow am I ever exhausted now and I have a headache! LOL!

(Note: I do think it's strange that the letter that came to my mind during my aunt’s reading was an "L," and she came up with "William." The "L" could have stood for "Lord" or "Laird." I don't think I give my subconscious enough credit. I honestly thought I was just making up the "L" and "William" at the time. My aunt wouldn't stop asking me for a name, so I just said "William" to make her stop asking).


Excerpt from my reply a few days later:


In that reading you mentioned how Patrick had on this shirt that he wore underneath his vest/jerkin.  I didn't see the shirt when I was little, b/c he was kneeling at the time, but a few days before you did that reading I was watching "First Knight."  I DISTINCTLY remember noticing that time how the shirt under Lancelot's vest wasn't tucked in, but hung out beneath the vest.  That's EXACTLY what you described in that first reading.  I thought that was pretty awesome to pick up on a detail like that.  I now think there's a REASON I noticed that part of Lancelot's attire specifically during that viewing of that movie.  I know I never paid attention to it before - and I've watched that movie many, many times in the past too. LOL! And I just looked up the name William.  It's a Teutonic name meaning
"valiant protector."

And you are definitely right when you said that everything happened so fast!


One minute I am just getting home from picking up my hubby and decided to sit down to read my private messages and go out for a smoke and surprise.gif all of a sudden I am bombarded with a VERY anxious spirit! I mean, he was soooooooooo anxious and excited that I actually started shaking! I couldn't even think straight and I was having a really hard time typing. So if anything I said last night didn't make sense, or jumbled, it was because I couldn't type fast enough for him! LOL! I mean he REALLY took me by surprise! It happened after I read the message you sent me asking if I knew what kind of servant you were. I read it and then went outside for a smoke and I was going to respond to it after I got back in and as I was smoking outside, I was wondering to myself what kind of servant you might have been and then BOOM! There he was! I heard him say
"chatelaine" and I was like "what the heck is a chatelaine?" LOL! The only place I've ever heard of a chatelaine is a magazine that we have here in Canada named "Chatelaine". So I immediately put out my smoke and came in and looked it up on google (all the while feeling Patrick's anxiousness and kept hearing him saying "tell her! Tell her!"- I was saying to him- "cool it man! I need to know what a chatelaine is before I tell her!" lol )

After I finally got offline I was so out of it! LOL! He really zapped me of my energy that is for sure. But I don't mind- I was happy to do it for you. I think I mentioned before that a lot of times when I am even just thinking about a spirit or reading about one, they somehow know and show up. LOL. So I wasn't really that surprised that he showed up - I was just taken aback by how strong he was and how panicky he made me. I think it was probably just because he was so excited and anxious himself that I was feeling it too.

I am curious about something though - the way I described him as looking- his clothes and stuff- did that all make sense to you? Is that how you remember him when you saw him when you were 7? I forgot to tell you too, that he was also wearing a hat. It had a white feather sticking out of the side, if you know what I mean.

*****

I just had a thought. The reason I asked you if your room looked like that is because when Patrick was here I saw a bedroom. Maybe he was showing me what your bedroom looked like when you saw him when you were 7 years old? Just a thought but I did see a bedroom when he was communicating with me.

I can't believe I never thought of this until now. The room I saw Patrick in was my sister's room, b/c I was too scared to sleep in my own room back then. It was a blue room, but MY ROOM was pink and frilly. Did you ever see what the bedcovers looked like? Poor, poor Patrick went from living inside a castle to hanging out in a tiny, frilly pink room with baby doll strollers and a pink rug. Lol!

Her reply:

Wow! That's pretty cool! The room was like drenched in pink! LOL! I remember seeing like flowery type pillows and I believe the bedding was flowers too (don't quote me on that though- I didn't see it that clearly - I just remember their was ALOT of pink and VERY girly). I think the pillows and bedding had like lace or frills around the edges? That's all I remember, and I don't even know if I am remembering the flowers correctly. It was definitely some kind of pattern though on the pillow and bedding and I really think that there were frills/lace around the pillow and the edges of the bedding.
 
(Note: She described everything correctly. Btw, I was hardly ever in that room.  I’m beginning to wonder if the reason I was afraid of that room was b/c Patrick was always hanging out there? I have pretty much three memories in that room. Once, I tried proving to my sister that I COULD stay in there alone. LOL!  The other time was when my sister and I shut the door so Mom wouldn’t know we made a slide out of my mattress. I just thought of something…..  I also used to sit ‘inside’ the mattress when it was leaning against the wall like a slide.  I sort of used it as a tent of sorts.  Remember my tent dream and how I said I slept with all my favorite personal belongings… and necessities… every night?  Maybe I traveled a lot in that PL; hence the tent dream and being ADAMANT on having my personal possessions next to me during the night).  My third memory in that room was looking at the pictures of a castle and knights in a Sesame Street book.

***
I think the only thing Mom wasn't sure about was that I was his mistress.  She thinks that when you heard "mistress," he meant mistress of a castle/his home.  (Like in the definition of a chatelaine).

She could be right because I also heard something like "matron of honor" or "maid of honor" (something along those lines) but Chatelaine really stood out the most.

***
Email: I had a dream about you and your past life. Don't ask me why I would dream about that because I have not been thinking about that at all lately and I've never had a dream about you or your past life. Anyhow, I dreamt that you were still confused as to what your role was in that past life with Patrick and all of a sudden a HUGE white screen came up with big black bold letters that said "MAID OF HONOR". I know I already told you before that I heard that from Patrick but I think that Patrick snuck into my dreams that night and gave me confirmation because I think he knows you are still wondering.


Reading from Mom:

Mom didn't tell me much b/c of the headache he was giving her, but she did say that I was his ward. As I got older his feelings for me grew, which he fought b/c he was supposed to just be my caretaker; sort of like a father would. When he let me know of his feelings, I had a really hard time seeing him in that light. She said it scared me and I felt like it was wrong. She also says that she doesn't think I ever really thought of him as a father, but as someone who would just look after me and keep me safe. She says she doesn't think he really had that much to do with me until I was older. Which makes sense to me since he was probably away much of the time. He may have even been married with kids of his own at one time. I don't know. I do know that my aunt and another psychic said something about him losing his children. Oh! She also said that she thinks he had a really long name and that "Patrick" wasn't his first name. She said his name was something like ___ ___ Patrick___ The ____. (Know what I mean? Like "James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser" the Red). When she said that, I laughed b/c just that morning I was channel surfing. I stopped on Roseanne... one of the last lotto episodes I can't stand... and there was a character on there who was introduced as having like 7 names. Lol!


Things Mom picked up:

(She could feel him behind her.  She gets a tingle on her right side, and it tickles her ear.  It’s as if someone is whispering directly in her ear.  She would have picked up more, but Dad kept interrupting her with talk about work, so she didn’t pick up as much as she could have).

- Patrick is not only watching over me, but he’s interested in everything and everyone I’m interested in; all aspects of my life.

- We had a secret rendezvous point at a loch or some river.  The loch/river was named after a rock?  She kept receiving something about “granite”.  She said it was a pretty spot with black and white swans, and some craggy mountain there was reflected in the water. 

Funny coincidence – Mom was watching HGTV, and on a program was a man hanging up SWAN pictures.

While doing a search on the internet, I discovered that Aberdeen Scotland is known as the “granite city,” so maybe that’s it.  I don’t know.  He may have just been trying to describe the landscape.  She didn’t see grassy hills, but craggy ones.  Rock formations—which echo that dream I had of revisiting where I used to live.  The granite is so light it’s almost a pale blue color.

Also, there’s a picture someone posted online of “Beaumaris Castle” in Wales.  I am always looking at that picture they posted with swans swimming in the moat.  Maybe there’s a deeper reason why I’m so fascinated with that picture?


- Mom saw the image of a woman in her head all day long.  That night she had the name “Rowena” pop in her head.  This woman has dark honey-blonde hair/mean, slanted eyes (almond-shaped), hair smoothed very flat on each side (parted in middle), and she’s very hard looking. Could she be his wife maybe?

Rowena:
Meaning-  Celtic: “The white-haired one.”
Old English – “A well-known friend.”

- Patrick is royalty, but he’s a ways down in the line. 
(Ex.– 5 people or so are ahead of him in the royal line, but his family is definitely royalty.  He’s ‘of money’).


-
“She hated the cold.” (It got into my bones it was so cold)


Nat's reply to my question about the woman Mom saw -

Hmmm, I don't know. Could be his wife. I know that the whole time I was connecting with Patrick I had a vision of a woman in my head. I didn't tell you though because I wasn't sure if it meant anything but I will tell you what she looked like. She was slim and had strawberry blonde hair- light skinned and her hair was pulled back in a pony-tail which was very long. She was wearing a long, very pretty pinkish dress. She was pretty young- probably 16 - 20 years of age. I kept seeing her walking around a castle (the inside of it). I actually got the strong impression that it was you- that Patrick was showing me what you looked like. Very pretty, cute girl with a round face.

(Note: Her description matches how I've seen myself in a dream)


Okay, Mom tried a tarot reading on
 
Patrick’s and mine’s Past Life:

The Chariot - Maintaining Balanced Control
Completion and triumph. Hard work pays off, and endeavors are crowned with success, which is entirely deserved. You may have had to constantly defend your position in order to get through difficult times, but now you can afford to relax a little and enjoy the rewards; you won’t always need to protect your personality with battle armor.

Five of Cups - Negative Effects

Unhappiness in a relationship. The sadness and disappointment you feel may be due to breaking up with a partner, and you know that what is hurt cannot be healed by regret. Focus on what remains, rather than dwell on what you have lost.

The Emperor - Power
The influence of an older person who holds fast to tradition. Indicates protection & support in any venture because the Emperor represents an honest, if domineering, ally. He lives in a dynamic, creative whirlwind powered by the strength of his will, yet his stubborn martial attitude leaves no room for subtlety or the nurturing qualities. Don’t assume an individual with strong qualities has good judgment
.

And this came to her right after:

- When I was telling Mom about how maybe he sort of reminds me of “Dr. MacNeill” and that’s why I dream of him that way…. Mom told me I was totally off. She said that Patrick knows that that is the kind of man I’m attracted to and am comfortable with, so that’s why he comes to me in my dreams as “Dr. MacNeill.”  (And I do find it odd that in that ‘cabin dream/possible reunion on the Other Side dream’ I had, that I remember us both thinking  - ‘To Hell with what everyone else thinks. We want to be together and so WE will be the ones calling the shots from now on’…..  well, that does echo what you said in your reading about us not being allowed to be together.  I shouldn’t have brushed off that dream just b/c “Dr. MacNeill” (or someone like him) was in it. No ‘wish fulfillment’ dream would be that deep.  I cannot believe it took me so long to make that connection).

- When I was telling Mom that I’ve learned to pay close attention to the details/subconscious (like the theme of my fave movies being the lovers separated)… that’s when it dawned on me that the Chariot card Mom pulled had a black horse and a white horse on it.  Well… remember how Mom saw a picture in her mind that day of a black swan and a white swan?   

- I was similar to being Patrick’s ward.  My father didn’t die, but he had to go away for a long period of time.  He and Patrick may have even been best friends. My father put Patrick in charge of looking after me.  She says my father was a rich landowner.

- There was a definite age gap between Patrick and myself of around 10 – 15 years.

- Our relationship was “sweet.” 
(Whatever that means)

- I loved children, and this amused Patrick.

- Just like you said, she thinks we were together for a while.


- It's highly likely I was a lady in waiting. 
(Like a maid of honor like you said.  Or something similar to that).

- Patrick was very stubborn and not “affectionate” by nature.  Not in touch whatsoever with his feminine side. Meaning, he probably was taken from his family at a tender age to prepare for his role in life.  He was a great leader of men, and so was taught from infancy to be strong and above expressing his feelings; to be above even having feelings in the first place probably.  He may not have even thought it right to marry anyone, due to his station.  (Warfare, etc.)  But then I came along and he began to question things and feel things for another person.  He thought his feelings toward me were wrong. 
(I’m sure they were even uninvited).  

- He was not outspoken until much later, when everything was taken away from him.  (Mom says what was taken away from him was me.  That we couldn’t be together). (Update: This is contradictory to what she said later… that were married and had 2 kids. Unless.. the separation wasn't permanent but did last many years).

- He may or may not have married.  If he did, it was because he had to.  Also, by the time he was ‘in touch’ with the idea of he and I marrying, it was too late.

- I held fast to the conviction that if I couldn't be with Patrick, I didn't want to be with anyone else.



He's not a Ghost, he's a Spirit

To a scared 7-year-old, he’s a ghost. LOL!
Oh yeah, I can definitely understand that. I just thought I would point it out though because I got the distinct feeling that Patrick took offense to that. lol

***
Yeah, I do believe that you were very high ranked if you were a servant. I really don't know the full meaning of what a Chatelaine is so you may not have been a servant at all or you were a very high end servant you know? It's kind of confusing for me because I definitely don't get the feeling that you 2 were married but I also get the feeling that you were very important in his household. So that is kind of confusing to me. But then again, I don't know 2 bits about how things were run back then. I also got the impression that he was away a lot and that the 2 of you didn't get to see each other very often.

***
Well I get the strong feeling that you were definitely never married in that life. I felt that your love was kept a secret. I felt that you were far- removed from his everyday life- meaning you didn't get involved or know, or were even allowed to get involved with his life. I feel that he had to go out of his way to steal a moment with you. That would explain your "rendezvous" with him in that place your mom talked about. I feel that the 2 of you would've pretended to ignore each other in the public eye but would try to "sneak away" together to be alone.


Question asked...

What was Kristin and Patrick's relationship in their past life that Kristin is wondering about?
(Note: This reading really depressed me, just like when my aunt did her reading.  It really "hit home" you might say.  I can't explain it, and so I won't even try).

In the beginning, there were deep yearnings between the 2 of you for love, pleasure and emotional satisfaction. I sense that at the beginning, the 2 of you were so full of hope and anticipation that the 2 of you could be together and I definitely sense that you were together for a while. Great happiness - the start of a new love. Celebration. (Interestingly enough, on one of the cards it shows a happy couple in their own little world and in the background is a castle.)

THEN the reading suddenly turned into something quite different. It says that there was a lot of confusion and inner conflict going on inside of him. He couldn't decide what to do and was frustrated by his limitations. I got the STRONG sense that he was "betrothed" to another woman at some point during your relationship. One of the cards even outright said that there were more than 2 people in this relationship and I take that to mean, you, Patrick and his wife. Like a love  triangle. You both knew it was coming but when it happened it was a shock. He didn't want to marry this woman but I sense that there was a definite obligation there and he had to do what was right for his family or in order to keep his reputation. (I don't know if they had arranged marriages back then but it would be like how a prince or someone of royalty, which we already know that he was would have to marry someone else of importance you know what I mean?) He went ahead and married this woman I feel but he was deeply upset about it and so were you. He definitely did not love her like he loved you. In fact, he may not have loved her at all because in the reading, it said that he wondered if he would ever feel that love again.

I feel that the 2 of you continued your relationship in secrecy for a while after he got married
(which I picked up before in the other reading), meeting in secret places, etc, etc. But I feel that the 2 of you drifted apart after he married his wife (not on your part- but on HIS part). You were very hurt. I sense that it took you a very long time to get over him. The cards say that you felt very empty and even though there were others who offered their love to you, you did not want anything to do with them. You just couldn't forget about Patrick and I really don't think you ever  loved again. That's the feeling I got from the cards. It actually said that you withdrew from everything to try to heal and even after you had come to terms with everything, there were still offers of  love before you (meaning other men), but that it no longer had any meaning or value to you. Meaning, I think you felt that if you couldn't love Patrick, you would not love another. It just wouldn't be the same. It even says that you had an inability to find a loving partner after this.

Ok, then I asked who he is to you NOW. I didn't get much but here is what I DID pick up:


He has already sown and reaped and carries with him the enlightenment of his experiences and he is offering you the benefit of these lessons and achievements (meaning I think he is trying to guide you and help you to learn YOUR lessons in this life.) That's why I said before in my last message to you that I do not think he is incarnating ever again. I think he has already learned all his lessons and is now trying to help guide you so you can learn your lessons. It says that he will not mislead you- he is trying to help you with your life lessons.

So now I understand why you never felt like you wanted to marry in this life. That relates to what happened in your past life with Patrick. Once he married and the 2 of you drifted apart, I really got the strong sense that you never married or loved another. And it would also explain why you love the movies where the couples can never totally be together. I actually got quite emotional when I was typing this up and to me, that is definite confirmation that what I am picking up and sensing is true.

*********

It's very depressing. But I'm THRILLED you did this reading. I never would have thought of this scenario that came through with this reading, but I do think it's probably all true. That latest vision I had must have really been something then.
(Finding Patrick with another woman.  She had dark brown hair and dark brown eyes). I knew it HAD to be something b/c I never have visions and that particular one came out of left field. The woman must have been his wife. And maybe that other dream I had (of him and myself in the same room) was an aftermath of that? I definitely felt some sort of tension between us in that dream. I was standing by the bed and he was way across the room, by the door.

**************

And also your mother told you about that "rendezvous" at the lake with the swans too right?

I'm beginning to wonder, now that I know things I didn't know when I had this dream, that maybe that was my subconscious remembering that PL. You know, in that our being together wasn't allowed by outside forces.
And I'm just brainstorming here, and I know this sounds CRAZY.. . but what if that was a memory of our reunion, on The Other Side, after my last life in Victorian/Edwardian Days? That would explain our giddiness in our reunion and one of us BURSTING through the door. I really, really REALLY cannot even begin to describe how elated I felt... we both felt... in that dream. Heavenly isn't even the correct word. It went so BEYOND any words we have to describe that kind of happiness. It's like there isn't a word in any language that describes the feelings we had in that dream. I just can't help but think that that dream was a combination of an actual memory and my subconscious remembering our circumstances in that PL - in that we wanted to be together, but couldn't. I don't think dreams are always so straightforward. You know, in that it's always just a memory, spirits visiting you in a form you're comfortable with, or your subconscious coming up to the surface in any way it can.

That dream never made sense, but it definitely made an impression on me.  I depressed me so much that I didn’t even bother writing it down.  I knew there’d be no point since I wasn’t likely to ever forget it.
And if it was a reunion on The Other Side, that would explain why I was dressed in Victorian clothes.  I remember that the skirt was just a solid red.  Nothing fancy, but usual for that time period.  I always brushed that dream off b/c “Neil”
(or someone looking very much like him) was in it.  Also, it was a cabin, and in that tv series “Neil” lived in a cabin. 

So it may be something like a memory of a reunion with Patrick
(in disguise in my dream), or nothing as profound as that at all.



Long names, and roses

and rabbits... oh, my!


Well he showed up here I believe when I was replying to your email. I felt someone tap my head and then I saw a huge orb moving like zig-zaggy through the air on my left side and I could clearly see him in my mind's eye. Yes, he was wearing his silly feather hat! LOL! I've been feeling a bit anxious too-- I think he is still here and wants to give you a message. I'm pretty tired right now, but if he is still here later I will see if I can figure out what he wants. Ok, he's definitely here- my ears are burning like crazy. Maybe I won't be able to hold him off after all. lol. Hmmmm, I just asked him to show me something and I immediately saw a music box with a horse like from a carousel (sp??) in it. Do you have one of those? I just saw a white tent too and I immediately got the impression that he is trying to tell me something about your tent dream that you had. I don't know what but I'll see if I can find out. It was meant to show you something or give you information about your past life. He is sorry that he scared you- that was not his intention at all - I think he feels really bad that he scared you. It was meant to give you more information. I keep hearing that over and over. You need to dig deeper for the meaning he is implying. I keep hearing the word "soulmates" too. What the heck??? I just saw a white bunny rabbit in my head. Don't know what the heck that means. lol! Maybe you will but I sure don’t. He's holding it now. What the heck??? LOL. Ok, I just asked in my head what was the meaning of the tent dream and I heard "to let her know that I will always protect her". I just asked him what he was in that past life- a king or a prince and I heard "Mascot". I don't know what the heck that is. Maybe you should look that up. I keep hearing France and Scotland as well. "Victory!" he just said that in my ear! LOL! Do you have a music box that goes off sometimes? i think he is saying that he plays with it sometimes to let you know he is around. Could be the one with the horse that I just described- I am not sure. I saw a bouquet of red roses too- think those were a gift to you from him. Patrick's not his real name, he said. Francis or something? I don't know. I keep hearing France over and over- maybe he is saying "Francis"? I am not sure. McKnight- I just heard that too. (bear with me, I am just typing as these things come to me). I keep seeing a white horse in my head too.

Well, I've been sitting here for a few minutes now trying to get more info but I'm not getting much more. Oh, I just saw a large pink heart- guess he wants to tell you he loves you. How sweet.

Well I wasn't expecting that! LOL! Let me know what you think about that. Oh I just saw the 1600's and 1700's in my head- maybe that is when you had your past life with him. I asked him if it was the 1600's or the 1700's and he said
"both". So maybe it was the late 1600's, early 1700's? Also, I keep hearing "Scotland, Ireland and France" all together. I don't know if there was a time when all 3 of those places were connected somehow or what but for some reason I get the feeling that those 3 places mean something significant. Weird.

Ok, well let me know what you think of all that. He's still here but I'm not getting much more info from him- I just can sense very strongly his presence.

Excerpt from my email reply:

OMG!  The music box in the picture below..... it has a horse on it that circles around the castle when you turn it on - like a carousel.  I was JUST DUSTING the darn thing about one minute before I decided to check my email again.  Also, I am always telling him to turn on that music box.  (Okay… NAGGING him for months was more like it). I guess he came to you b/c he knew I was upset that he didn't come to Mom last night. And another little piece of info that tells me that maybe “McKnight” was his last name, is b/c just last night I asked Mom what his last name was.  Mom isn’t good with names, so she didn’t get anything.  Maybe he decided to tell you since Mom didn’t know last night.


Her reply:

WOW! That is great confirmation for me that he was here regarding the music box with the horse- that is the very first thing I saw! Although I don't really need any confirmation that he was here because he was DEFINITLEY here! No doubt about that! I just got finished grounding myself actually because Patrick has a habit of making my head spin! LOL! I told him he could only communicate through me if he was a lot less impatient and anxious than the last time! LOL! And that is soooooooo cool that you said you are always asking Patrick to turn on your music box because as I said in my previous email, I got the feeling that he likes to play with it to let you know he is around. Maybe he was trying to tell me that you are always asking him to play with it! LOL! I definitely think that he DOES TRY to play with it for you- he definitely hears you asking him to. Maybe one of these days he will get the thing to play for you! LOL!

>>> I did NOT expect that.

Well that makes 2 of us then, because I did not expect it either! LOL! But as soon as I finished reading your email and started to respond to it, I knew he was here- I think he was making sure I was telling you the right things. LOL Like he was watching over my shoulder to approve of what I was writing back to you. I pictured him staring over my shoulder with his hand on his chin like "Hmmmmm, what is she saying?" lol

******************

I was thinking it might have been his or your surname- not sure which one, or if it even is a surname. I heard Brian after that, but maybe that is because there is a singer I think named Brian McKnight. He was obviously trying to tell me something but I'm not exactly sure what it is. Maybe he wanted to remind me of Brian McKnight because one of his names was Brian??? I'm just guessing there.

Well, my sister told me a long time ago she thought his name was Brian Patrick.  So it is also possible that maybe his surname isn’t McKnight, but that was his way of getting you to hear the name “Brian.”  So either McKnight is his surname, or Brian is one of his first names… or both are correct.

(Note: I’ve recently stumbled into a dream in my journal from back in high school where my cousin Brian was in it.  This dream I’ll mention later, but I really think it’s related to Patrick).


Yeah, that first time- WOW! Was he ever excited and impatient and anxious! I literally almost passed out- lol! He was much better this time. He left when I asked him to and most spirits don't give a crap if I ask them to leave or not! So he does have manners and respect! He is a pleasant spirit to work with now. I don't mind if he wants to come to me as long as he continues to respect my wishes like he did today. Very well-mannered guy there. ;) Actually, he is here now again and is just smiling and watching me type. He is impressing me with his feelings and I can tell that he is very grateful for being able to communicate through me. He's really happy. Awwwwwwwwww, he's sweet!!! I get the impression that he is a very well mannered, quiet, reserved type of guy. Very respectful too. Anyhow, he is just watching me now. He seems EXTREMELY interested in anything I say to you regarding him. lol. I don't blame him though. He's making sure I am getting everything right. Maybe he is a perfectionist like you said! LOL! Ok, my kid just started screaming so there goes my connection. LOL!

I like that a lot.  He has manners and truly appreciates what you've done for us.  I asked him not to drain you too much and that he should find some way of thanking you.

(Note: Sounds like he was thanking her to me, just as I asked him to. I guess he’s a good listener.  Men only listen after they’re dead, ya know. LOL!)

I really got the strong impression (and I can't stress this enough- it is a very strong feeling) that when he showed me the rabbit that he thought you would REALLY like it for some reason. Like I mentioned in my previous email to you, at first I thought that maybe you owned a white rabbit as a pet, but I just knew that was not right and then it hit me that maybe you loved rabbits in your past life and had one or more as a pet in the past life and he thought that you would remember if he showed it to you. I got the feeling it was a really sweet gesture - he was smiling when he showed it to me with a twinkle in his eye like it would mean something to you from him. That could be that he called you "bunny" or that he was reminding you of a beloved pet you had that he thought would make you smile. I really got the impression that he thought it would make you smile- maybe he was hoping you would remember some "inside joke" or something between the 2 of you.

*****
The "Gentle Giant"- that fits him perfectly! LOL! Remember when I told you the first time he appeared to me that he looked really fierce? Well I think that was just because he was "on a mission", you know what I mean? He was desperate to contact you and was desperately trying through me, so he was in "battle mode", ya know? That is probably why I felt him come on so strong and so anxious- because he was in his "battle mode". Trying to "get the job done". lol The reason I am telling you that is because when he appeared to me today, he looked so peaceful and serene. He is still a big guy, but he just looked very peaceful, serene and loving. He's definitely very kind and respectful and has good manners. I didn't tell you this the last time he came to me but I could've sworn I heard him call me "M'lady". Isn't that how they respectfully addressed women back then?

Oh yes.  M’lady – most definitely a very typical form of address.  Actually, in that evp I used to have from him he said –
“I miss you, M’lady.  My Becky.”

******

I do think it strange how it so clearly echoes what my aunt was saying about his impatience with her and his relief in getting through.  She said he actually had tears in his eyes.

She said he had tears in his eyes???  I said the exact same thing to you when he came to me the first time! I asked him if he loved you and he put his hands over his heart and he had tears in his eyes!!!!


Hey- I called Patrick to come to me because I couldn't take not knowing what that darned rabbit and the Francis business meant so I told Marcus to go get him and bring him here and he's here now. I asked him what the rabbit meant and if you had owned them in your past life and he was waving his hands around in the air and rolling his eyes and said "They were EVERYWHERE!" lol I also heard "she loved them like there was no tomorrow" and then I heard "it was a gift to her". He looked like he was acting out a scene from that life and was stumbling over the darned rabbits because they were everywhere! I think they drove him a bit nuts! LOL! This is too funny- I am actually laughing here. He's got a good sense of humour. You should see him jumping around waving his hands around in the air like he is tripping over rabbits trying to get to you. LOL! Ok, I just asked him if I am getting this right and I heard "You sure are!" (I know he likes to make sure I am getting everything just right! LOL!). I'm seeing a big grassy field with a ton of rabbits hopping around and there's a young girl there with reddish hair sitting in the grass playing with them all having a ball. And I get the feeling you don't know he is there and he is coming to see you and is tripping over all the rabbits. LOL! This is too funny!!!! I can't stop giggling. There are flowers in the field too - small ones, I think pink and white ones. Ok, he keeps saying that they're roses but I don't believe roses grow in fields, but I keep hearing "No, they're roses!". He said he planted them for you! OMG! That is tooooooooooooo sweet!!!!!! You loved roses he said! Awwwww, this is so sweet that I am getting teary eyed. I think I am picking up his feelings- he is reminiscing about the past. Awwwww!!!!!! He wants to give you a rabbit. A white one. Don't ask me how he is going to do that but I guess it's the thought that counts. That is why he had the sly grin on his face and the twinkle in his eyes when he held the rabbit- they drove him nuts but he put up with them because he knew you loved them so much and he loved you and wanted you to be happy. It made him happy to watch you play with them in the grass. He used to watch you when you didn't know it and just smile while you would roll around in the grass with the rabbits. Ok, i am asking him what is the deal with "Francis". He keeps saying "I'M Francis" ( putting a great deal of emphasis on the "I'M" part), but I remember you saying that he doesn't seem like a "Francis" to you so I keep dismissing it but I keep hearing "I'M Francis" I asked him if that was his first name and I immediately heard "second". Brian Francis Patrick McKnight. I just heard all those names in that order. I keep saying those names over and over and asking if that is really his name and I just heard "Yes, that's me" but I don’t know for sure- the connection is fading now. I think he is getting tired or something. lol

Anyhow, he wanted me to tell you that you were SUPPOSED to read those poems. I think he was trying to tell me that he led you to them because he wanted you to see them.

Email excerpt about the Rose Garden Patrick mentioned -


This may be nothing but in the book I'm writing now I have a "Garden Scene."  The female lead loves the Language of Flowers that was so popular in Victorian times, so when her husband surprised her with a house, the first thing she noticed were the rose trees.  Also, in my first book the male lead mentions to the female lead that the owner of the abandoned house (they're outside, looking at the house during this scene) had a wife that had a profound love for roses, so he planted an entire plot of them for her.  So... maybe there's something deeper with all that. Who knows. LOL!

Kristin
(who is lovin' the vision of The Gentle Giant tiptoeing around a mob of furry little bunnies)


ok, it's been a while since I sent you my previous email with the messages from Patrick, but I have had this nagging nagging feeling that I got something wrong with the name I gave you (Brian Francis Patrick McKnight). There's something wrong with it. I get the feeling it's jumbled up or something. I saw him moving his finger in a circle like it's not arranged right and needs to be "unscrambled" or something. Also, I was reminded of the name William too- somehow I get the strong feeling that the names William and Brian are connected. I don't know how or why but I am getting that sense. Ok, I am also getting a HUGE sense of relief wash over me too. I think that is Patrick feeling relieved that I clarified that. I think he's been hanging around waiting for me to clarify this to you. LOL. I was feeling this really really nagging feeling and a bit anxious too and I could still see him in my mind's eye so I think that was him trying to tell me that the name is somehow wrong or mixed up and that I needed to tell you- I get the feeling that it is jumbled- like it's not in the right order. Plus the William/Brian connection that I am not sure what it means but I am getting that in my head. Whew! I feel much better now that I told you that! lol

Ok, I just needed to clarify that because I think Patrick was bugging me to clarify that for you. As I said before, he is very particular that I give you the right information! LOL! Of course, I don't blame him.


* Note about the next reading *

This was when I was thinking Patrick was for my mother and not me.  It's a long story, but let’s just say that when I was young one of Mom’s first stained glass pieces was of a swan, and about a year before the reading with Patrick and the bunnies, Mom went through a phase of collecting bunny rabbit  trinkets to decorate my brother’s old room with after he went away to college.  Both these things Patrick mentioned to my mother and my friend.

By the way, while I was having those doubts I asked that Patrick go to my friend to set the record straight if he could.  That was the first (and only) time I ever did that, as I know Patrick's energy can be draining on her and I didn't want him to wear out his welcome.  But turns out he DID go to her, so maybe he really is around me and hears me. (Just like when I wondered out loud that morning what his horse's name was, and then I immediately dreamt the answer. Lol!)


Forgot to tell you this


I forgot to tell you this but Patrick was with me all morning (he's back again now too). I was wondering why the heck he was coming to me this morning but now it just dawned on me that he knew you were confused about the rabbits and the music box and he wanted me to set the record straight for you. That would explain why he was hanging around this morning. I actually said to him
"not now I am busy" and I heard him say "that's ok, I'll wait". And he wouldn't leave - just kept watching me and following me around all morning but not saying a word. I think he did leave at one point (must've got tired of waiting) but now that I read and responded to your last email saying that you are confused he is definitely back and is obviously wanting me to tell you something. I can sense him very strongly around me. I feel he wants you to know that it definitely was NOT your mom he was referring to- it was for YOU (the rabbits, the music box). And I just remembered how emotional I was getting when I was telling you about the scene of you in the grass with the rabbits- I NEVER get emotional unless what I am saying is true. There is NO WAY that I would get emotional if I was imagining things. I was picking up on his feelings of remembering the past with you playing with the rabbits. Also, I was just outside for a smoke before I sat down to write this email and I said out loud that if he really was referring to your mom that I would feel like a total dork. Well right after I said that, something hit me right on the side of the face- something small but it was enough to make me notice. I think someone was trying to tell me that no, I wasn't wrong at all. It happened exactly right after I said those words. LOL! It was definitely meant for you- not your mom. I can sense Patrick easing off a bit now so that to me is confirmation that I am right- that he is relieved that I am telling you this so that you won't be confused anymore. By the way- I think he wrote you a poem and he wants me to write it down for you but there is no way I would be able to hear an entire poem- I'm just not that good at clairaudience. I can hear a word or two or a phrase but I doubt that I would be able to hear him recite an entire poem to me. This happened this morning - I saw him with a piece of paper in his hands and I could've sworn I heard him say that he wrote you a poem and he wanted to share it with me so I would tell you.



Funny excerpt from an email to me when I finally stopped overanalyzing:

It was weird because I thought I was imagining things but I just couldn't shake the feeling that he was definitely here and I was getting anxious and I always get anxious when there is a spirit around wanting to communicate. So I just told him to wait and he did. He hung around me all day just following me around and watching me, not saying a word. lol. After I got your email last night where you were doubting everything I could feel him around me again and I said to him "what are we going to do with her Patrick"? and I said "I'm going to go down there and kick her butt!!!" and he actually said "she needs it!" LOL. I told him that it's up to him now to make you believe because I don't know what else I can say to make you believe so I told him to show you a red rose or a sunflower- SOMETHING that you would see. Well he wanted ME to send you a red rose and I had to tell him that no, I can't do it- he needs to do it himself. LOL! I really don't think he knows exactly how to go about giving you signs. I mean, he wanted ME to show you the red rose and I had to tell him that is not the point- HE needs to do it himself. So I don't know if you happened to have seen a red rose or a sunflower yesterday or today but I told him to lead you to one so that you would see it.

>>>Anyway, I was thinking about what you said; that I had been nagging him for months to play that music box, and that HE DID in a way. Relating it to you is proof enough for me that he is listening to me, and that I'm not talking into thin air every single time I speak to him .

Yes, he did. It was playing when he showed it to me. To me, what better validation is that??? Again, your mom is tuned in to the spirit world- she's a medium. As far as Patrick is concerned, who better person to get his messages across than through your mom right? So he may have been impressing her with the rabbits so that YOU would see it and remember. It has NOTHING to do with your mom. I strongly think that he uses her to get his messages across and to make himself known because she is in tune with that stuff right? That would only make sense. Therefore, she named the paper weight "Patrick" which he probably impressed her mind with and probably thought "Aha! Finally someone may recognize that I am here!" and therefore your mom decorated the kids room with rabbits, probably picking up from him your love of rabbits and he probably thought again, "Aha! Finally Kristin will see those and remember me!" He probably hangs around your mom a lot trying to get messages across whether she knows it or not. I mean, to him, your mom is the PERFECT person to go to right?? I mean, think about it this way- if YOU were a spirit and YOUR soulmate was here and earth and he lived with a medium who could communicate with the spirit world , who would you go to try to get your messages across? DUH!!!! LOL

Also, if he was there for your mom, he would not have come to me yesterday when you asked because frankly, why would he give a crap if he was for your mom? He wouldn't!

(Note: Lookie at what “Patrick” is lying on. Yep, a BOOK. LOL!  So maybe he impressed my Dad with the thought of wanting to buy the thing.  They were at that store that day buying a beautiful computer desk (which we never got, sadly), and my father told the salesperson that he'll buy the computer desk only if they GIVE HIM the paperweight for free. We may not have gotten our computer desk in the end, but we did get to keep that paperweight. LOL!  And this happened long before I even began writing.  So maybe it was Patrick who was putting ideas of writing into my head all those years… even though I never read books voluntarily back then.  Not until college.  These days I’m ALWAYS reading, of course.  Making up for lost time, I guess).


So funny
(email to me)

PS- When I woke up this morning, the name "Christine" was going over and over and over in my head. And then I thought of you and I said to myself, I have to email "Christine" back today. Now, how long have I known you? I KNOW your name is NOT "Christine" (LOL!) but for that little while, YOU were Christine in my mind. Then I heard "call her Christine- she will like that". Then I was STRONGLY (and I cannot stress that word enough) impressed with the information that Patrick sees you as "Christine". I thought for a second that maybe that was your name in your past life. Then it dawned on me that "Christine" is the character from the POTO!!!!!!! I almost crapped myself! I am NOT a big fan of POTO at all (sorry, lol) and I did NOT put the 2 and 2 together until later. And last night when I was telling Patrick that I think I am going to have to come down there and kick your behind for doubting (which he agreed to- lol), I said to him "What can I do to make her believe??". I said "there's GOT to be SOMETHING I can say or do to make her believe". Well I think we all know how much you love POTO so I think that was his way of getting you to believe. So what do you think about that one , eh? lol. Patrick sees you as his "Christine".

Email:
But I was laughing with tears in my eyes when I read that about “Christine.”   From the very first time I saw that movie, I sort of felt like Patrick/mine’s story was a bit like POTO.  Near the beginning they show when Christine is a little girl, and she talks about how the Angel of Music was always there in her dreams, and how she felt his presence and how he was always there, protecting her.  And well… I did see him when I was a little girl, and he was taking care of me – fixing the covers at the end of the bed.

Oh! After Mom read all that Patrick told you, she was talking about the “Christine” thing.  She was really impressed with that.  When she was in the middle of saying that she 100% agrees with Patrick when he told you that I would love being called “Christine”---- she halted on the stairs right then.  She said she felt someone at her ear, and she heard Patrick whisper
“Thank You.” She says it was said like in relief.



>>>But I was laughing with tears in my eyes when I read that about "Christine."   Especially when you said that he told you – "Call her Christine.  She will like that."

It was weird because I was so confused because that name was playing over and over in my head as soon as I woke up and I thought to myself,
"Oh yeah, I can't forget to email Christine today" and I didn't think anything of it and then after a few minutes I realized, "Hey, wait a minute- her name is not Christine". LOL! And that's when everything else happened and I clued in. LOL! You gotta hand it to him- he's pretty imaginative! He probably thought- "If this doesn't get her, NOTHING will!" lol

>>>This is very funny.  I'm not positive, though I have a feeling that Patrick is trying with the signs. Well, today Dad was mowing the grass while Mom was working on her stained glass.  I decided to see the progress Mom's made on her project, so I went to the garage where she works.  Dad was still busy with yard work, so I told her that Patrick's been coming to you all weekend.  I decided to read parts of those e-mails to her, so I headed inside to get them.  As I went back downstairs, what did my eye fall upon but another floral arrangement at our house; it has sunflowers in it. LOL!


Well damn- what kind of flowers do you NOT have in your house? LOL! I was hoping to God that you wouldn't have red roses or sunflowers in your house so that if you did see one you would be SURE that it was from him! LOL! But anyhow, I DID tell him to LEAD you to a red rose or a sunflower so maybe that was his way of "leading" you to it.


>>>By the way—this is a little interesting.  Remember how the name of Patrick's horse was possibly revealed to me in a dream night before last? (It was "Hooker," an Old English name).  Well, last night Mom was looking at computer desks on the internet when one of the desks she was looking at went by the brand name "Hooker." LOL
!

I have one word for you- CONFIRMATION! LOL! That was probably your confirmation that what you received in your dream is true! That's pretty cool! I love it when stuff like that happens!

Ok, before I say anything, Patrick has been with me all day and he wants me to tell you REALLY bad that he loves you. I keep hearing him saying "Did you tell her? Are you going to tell her?" over and over! LOL!  So from Patrick- "I love you". Also, he has a bouquet of red roses that he wants to give to you, so look at the bottom of this email- I have attached something for you from him.


You have  GOT to see this!!!

OMG! I do NOT believe what I am seeing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think i am going to PASS OUT!!!!!! I was just making some glitter images in Photoshop and when I went to browse for pictures, I saw the picture that I used to make your picture with (the castle and rainbow) and it was small (because it was just showing as a thumbnail) and when I looked at it small like that, I can see a MAN on the left hand side of the freaking picture!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried looking at the picture at the complete size and I couldn’t' see it very well but when I shrunk it down like it was in the thumbnails, I could see it again!!! So I am sending it to you with the man outlined in red!!!!!!!!!! And I swear on my life, my son's lives and my husbands lives, even Marcus' life, lol, that I did NOT alter that picture AT ALL. Hmmm.....................who do you think it looks like????????????????? ::::::thud::::: (that's me passing out- lol).


Like a kid at

Also, I really really really hope this doesn't sound rude or mean but can you possibly ask Patrick to come to me only when I ask him to? (like if you want to know something, I can call him to me). He is just is sooooooooo happy to be able to talk to you through someone (that someone being me, lol, which of course is very understandable) that it seems that he is here all the time the past few days wanting me to pass messages along to you and honestly, I love that I have been able to help you and Patrick out with everything but I just can't have him following me around all the time because as I said before, when there is a spirit around me, I tend to feel a bit anxious because I can sense their urge to want to communicate and it can get pretty distracting. I REALLY hope that doesn't sound mean or rude but I just would rather him come to me when I ask so that way I am prepared you know.

Email excerpt:

Anyhow, you wanted me to let you know if Patrick is still bugging me- no, he's not. He left me alone yesterday but I forgot to tell you that he wanted me to send you a picture of a white bunny rabbit. (this was when he wanted me to send you the roses too, I just forgot about the rabbit but it keeps popping into my head so I thought I'd better let you know). :)



Mom’s cards/My cards

In the car Mom also heard Patrick saying (to me) “M’Lady.  M’Lady.” She says he said it over and over again. Lol! She said he has his own greeting for her, only she can’t hear it perfectly.  It’s a different, longer form of address. 

She also did a reading on Patrick.  One of the cards was 5 of Cups, just like I got for him – in his PL I think.  His cards were saying that being overlyemotional isn’t helpful to him, and that he needed to let go of the past and focus on what remains.  She said he is being VERY IMPATIENT and it’s like he’s in mourning right now.  She said he was devastated that I left, and that all this communication with me that has been going on lately is like opening a door to a flood of emotions for him.  It’s making it even harder for him to cope.  I told her how surprising and sad that is, but she told me that he HAS to wade through it though, b/c it’s a growing process for him.  She also said that he gets very frustrated with me sometimes, b/c I overanalyze.
(Who, me? Lol!) She also said she tries to block him b/c she feels like I won’t believe anything she says.

But she said he’s devastated
(Mom’s words not mine) every time I incarnate and leave him behind.  He hates when he “loses the connection.” She says he just doesn’t understand that his pages are filled, and mine are not.  I HAD to come back, and maybe a lot of his own growth can’t happen unless I’m here and he’s there, ya know?  She said he’s feeling a great sense of loss, but that he has no choice but to go through the emotions of this. 

And isn’t this strange.  A few times I’ll ask Patrick to let me know he’s around by the tarot cards I choose.  Those times I’m not really interested in the meanings of the cards, but look for a PICTURE/SYMBOL on the card to jump out at me.  A few times I’ve gotten Queen of Pentacles, which has a
bunny rabbit and little pink flowers.  (I just realized that this morning, about the little pink flowers echoing what you saw in your reading the other day with the bunny).

*******
ps- I think you will find that you have psychic abilities too now. ;)


One card I kept getting yesterday was Page of Cups, which talked about psychic ability. Lol!
(People are always telling me this, but that's not surprising considering how 'in tune' members of my family are with the spirit world - and they don't really embrace or show much interest in it either).

*****************

And I agree with your mom- I definitely think that Patrick communicates with you through dreams.

I think so, too.  Remember how Mom said Patrick mentioned a loch/lake and that my aunt said he told her to tell me –
“We know why we love lavender?”  Well, I’ve had a few dreams where there’s a loch with mountains rising in the distance.  And right below me, growing on the hillside, is lavender.  I’ve had 2 or 3 dreams like that.


Sunflower Sign

I didn’t sleep at all that night, probably due to Starbucks Coffee again. I decided to take a quick stab at practicing the tarot cards – with some help from my cat whom was VERY curious about what I was doing. LOL!  At first I tried just a general reading on Patrick.  (No question really).

The first card was
Knight of Swords (which Mom gets for me all the time), and that card had a WHITE HORSE on it, just like Patrick's horse.
(My aunt pulled the sun card when she did her reading that time, and it had a white horse on it as well).

So later I asked about Patrick NOW, in present day:
I pulled the Queen of Wands first.  I decided to study the symbols on the card before looking up the translation.  Imagine my surprise when I saw the Queen holding
A SUNFLOWER! Just like the sign you told Patrick to send me!



The cards match up again:


Last night I did the cards on how he was feeling just then.  I wanted to know if he was doing better or not.  The cards last night weren’t saying he was happy as a clam, but they definitely said he was doing a lot better.  It was speaking about a period of relaxation after great emotional turmoil. 

So I asked Mom in the car TODAY how Patrick was feeling.  She told me that he’s doing much better. When she said that, I was so glad.  Not only for Patrick, but because my cards last night said that he was doing better.  When I got home I did the cards again.  I asked – “How is Patrick feeling today, emotionally and mentally?”  The cards all echoed what Mom said.  They were very positive. 
(Thank goodness b/c that 3 of swords card is so depressing). The cards I pulled were:

Ace of Cups:
New stage in an existing relationship.  Positive beginnings of an emotional nature.

King of Wands:

You feel optimistic and capable of living your vision.  You are overflowing with exciting ideas and are ready to go wherever your questioning spirit will take you.  Provided you are able to deal with the practicalities involved
(hehe. That made me laugh), you can now achieve a tremendous amount.

High Priestess:

Developing on an inner level/Looking within and not outside yourself.



By the way, while picking up some lunch today...

... Patrick showed Mom a black and white swan again.  The swans were on a lake and their necks were interlocked, forming a heart shape.

Awwwww, how sweet is that???? You know i saw that exact same thing a while ago- I wonder if that was from Patrick for you? Hmm............. Oh by the way, I've been meaning to tell you this but I keep forgetting. I think Patrick shows up here every once in a while just for a split second (which I don't mind AT ALL by the way) and he is always referring to you as
"My Christine". I will see him in my mind's eye and then I hear that.



LOL! I can't believe you got that card again! hehe. I'm not sure if this one refers to you or to him. Could be you or it could be that he was embracing the qualities of the Queen of Pentacles.

I never know if there’s a message with that card, or if it’s just his way of telling me that he’s around. 
(B/c of the bunny and pink flowers on the card).  I don’t get it every time, but enough to take notice.

OMG. I just looked at the clock and it says
12:01 Lol!

***

Today I was looking at free Celtic fonts on the internet to download.  One of them was called
“Patrick.”

My God!  I just now looked at the clock again and it said
12:10


I am always with you


Patrick is here. (don't worry- he's not bothering me). He seems worried that you think he is not around. He wants to reassure you that he is ALWAYS with you. I knew he was here because I all of a sudden heard
"CHRISTINE" really loudly. LOL! I really don't know why he keeps referring to you as Christine but anyhow.......He's not bothering me- so don't worry about that. He's just standing here impressing me with this information. He seems a bit sad that you think he may have left or is not around you the past couple days. He really wants you to know that he would never leave you ever- even for a second. He's always, always there. I think I ALMOST heard his voice too- and you were right- it does sound very deep. I just asked him if there was anything else he wanted me to tell you since he is here but I'm not getting anything else so I guess he just wanted to re-assure you that he is always around. I got the feeling from him that you may have been feeling a bit disappointed the past couple of days because you were wondering if he was still around. I also keep seeing this picture in my head of a scene with 2 swans in a little pond enclosed with big grey stones. And there is a castle in the background- a big castle made of grey stone and beside the little man-made pond with the swans in it, is a stone walkway leading towards the castle. I don't know if that is a message for you, but that is what I am seeing. The swans are both white though and there's 2 of them. Interesting. I get the feeling that it is HIS castle. It seems secluded- like there is no other homes or castles around. It's very pretty actually. I can see green grass here and there too. There's a black iron gate when you go down the stone path leading to the castle and there's flowers around the pathway and gate. I'm actually trying to get into this scene and walk around to see what I can see. The surroundings seem very quaint- not grand like you would think would be surrounding a castle. It looks very homey and cute actually. I got a glimpse of the inside of the castle and everything looked like it was made of the same grey stone (the walls, and floors). It doesn't look very homey inside though- looks large and spacey inside with lots of light coming in from the outside. It does look like it would be cold inside. I can see a large body of water way behind the castle- I am not sure if that is the ocean or a lake or something. There are roses intertwined around the black iron gate I mentioned before. Very pretty and quaint. The entrance into the castle looks to be a big wooden door. Look very solid and heavy. The pathway that leads to the castle slopes down- like the yard in front of the castle is higher up than the castle itself.

Ok, well anyhow, that was pretty cool. All that was as clear as day. I felt like I was actually there walking all around. That was very interesting. I would love to hear your thoughts on that, to see if it might resemble any of the visions you've had.

**********

I do think he's fine now.  He certainly isn't hanging around here, so maybe he's learning more about communicating.  Either that, or he's resting. Lol!

Sure he's there- like I said above, I think he is just resting. OMG- this is too funny - as I was thinking about why you might not be feeling him around you and wondering if I am right in thinking that he is just resting, all of a sudden I heard on the TV
"I am worn out!" . LOL!!! I was not listening to the TV at all but that phrase stuck out to me all of a sudden! LOL!



Patrick here again


Ok, Patrick is still here. I get the strong feeling that there is something else he wants me to tell you. I keep hearing that the swans were for you- everything was for you. That whole scene I described earlier- I keep hearing
"It was all for her". I think he means he built that castle and everything there for you. It was all for you. He's feeling sad for some reason and I can't figure out why but I just keep sensing a sadness. I keep asking him what he wants me to tell you and I just keep hearing "That I love her". I just saw a diamond engagement ring and I think I heard that you 2 were supposed to be married in your PL. The courts wouldn't allow it. His position was too high. He was called "to duty".  I think the 2 of you planned to run away together. I keep seeing a picture of you alone in the castle I described earlier looking very sad and lonely. Like you are waiting for him to come back or something. I don't think he ever returned or if he did it was years later. There's something about Easter that is important I think because I keep seeing all kinds of things related to Easter. I have no idea what that might be. You will forever be his true love. He loves you more than life itself. I also saw a white persian cat with you in the castle, when I saw you alone and sad. I think he also said that the name you received for his horse, was correct because I saw a white horse in my mind's eye and then heard the word "Hooker". He also just said that he is waiting for you. I just asked him what his position was in that life and I heard "King-something", like "Kingsman". I have no idea what that is and I could be hearing it wrong.

(
UPDATE July 07: I think she was hearing "KINSMAN."  That took me an entire year to figure out.  Lol!)



He’s still here


Ok, Patrick is still here. I was wondering why he is not leaving but I know why now. I keep feeling the STRONG urge to write. He is trying to get me to do automatic writing so I can give you that poem or some kind of letter from him. Well, I can't do that right now because I am very busy- I need to get my boys bathed, etc, etc. So I told him to go back to you. I hope he listens this time! LOL!

******
He seems a bit sad that you think he may have left or is not around you the past couple days. He really wants you to know that he would never leave you ever- even for a second. He's always, always there.
 

Well, I did get 3 of Swords (such a depressing card with those 3 swords thrust into that red heart) for him again last night.  Also 4 of Cups, which said he felt stuck in a rut but didn’t have the energy to break free.  And isn’t this interesting?  It mentioned
“Longing for something – OR SOMEONE – that is UNAVAILABLE.”  The rest said this:

You may be feeling below par or out of sorts, particularly where relationships are concerned; you may even feel resentful, unloved, or be nursing a grudge.  This period may seem like an anticlimax after an emotional high point.  There is a chance of emotional growth, but you need to be willing to move forward and not remain entrenched in an outworn pattern of thinking.
 

*******

He was called "to duty".  I think the 2 of you planned to run away together. I keep seeing a picture of you alone in the castle I described earlier looking very sad and lonely. Like you are waiting for him to come back or something. I don't think he ever returned or if he did it was years later.

And in that PL tarot spread I did about myself, the last card was
The Hermit, which talked about “trusting that things will change when the time is right.” That echoes what Patrick showed you above.  That I was awaiting his return.


I also saw a white persian cat with you...

...in the castle, when I saw you alone and sad.

Oh boy.  It didn’t dawn on me until just now that in my first novel the main character’s cat is a white fluffy cat. Lol! (Which would be a persian). OMG.  How funny.  I can’t believe it took so long for me to realize that.



Your Mom and Patrick


Could you do me a favour and ask your mom to try to contact Patrick to find out what he wants? Because he is still hanging around me very strongly and he's pretty anxious and upset about something and I don't know what it is. I couldn't even read your emails because as soon as I opened them to read them, Patrick was here so strongly that my vision actually started to go on me and everything went blurry. There must be something urgent he wants to tell you because he won't go. I told him that I will ask you to ask your mom if she will communicate with him because I can't get anything done with him being like this around me. Let me know if your mom will try to communicate with him so I can tell him.



He's sorry


Well Patrick did leave yesterday after I emailed you asking if you would ask your mom to find out what was so important that he wanted to tell you. Well he's been with me all morning and I tried to go about my daily activities but well, you know how hard it is for me to ignore spirits so I finally connected with him and he just wanted to say that he's sorry. I also heard him say
"I am a man of my word". So I told him that I would let you know.

I'll read your other emails shortly and respond. I couldn't read them yesterday because as soon as I opened them I felt Patrick around me sooooooo strongly that my vision actually went blurry and I couldn't read a word of your emails. So I should have better luck with that today! LOL!



I heard hisVoice:
(My email)


I’m pretty darn sure I heard Patrick’s voice.  I heard it inside my head. (That makes me sound loopy). I was turning off the computer when I heard “Kristin.” It was said kind of quickly.  I ignored it, but then I heard it again - “Kristin.” Then I whispered to myself that if I heard it one more time, then I would think that it was Patrick.  Two or three seconds passed, and I heard it again – “Kristin.”

His voice wasn’t as deep as I thought it was.  I’ve heard 2 men’s voices when half-awake/asleep a few times over the years.  One of them was VERY deep.  I always just assumed that was Patrick, especially since my aunt said Patrick’s voice was so deep.  But to me, the voice I heard last night sounded a lot like the voice I got on my evp a few years ago that said –
“I miss you, M’lady.  My Becky.”  (Which I do believe was Patrick since that was the only time I specifically asked a particular spirit to leave an evp). There was an echo in that evp, and the other night it sort of sounded like an echo as well.  Well, it was more like hearing someone calling your name from inside a tunnel.  (Is that how it happens?  I’m new to this, I have to admit). That’s the best way I can describe it.  Like a voice inside a tunnel; my cranium being the said tunnel. Lol!  It also sounded a lot like the man’s voice I heard YEARS ago, which was probably around the time I had my first vision of that PL. But that particular voice I heard clear as a bell when I was falling asleep.  It said – “Just a little get-together Kristin, okay?” (Whatever the heck that means. Lol!)

But anyway, I was just turning off the computer to go to bed when I heard him say my name. It’s also a little strange that for a couple weeks now I’ve said that I’d love to hear Patrick’s voice.

Of course, after 15 minutes or so passed it felt like it never even happened.  I just wish it would happen again – and soon.  I know I didn’t imagine it.  I just hope it can’t be logically explained away – like a noise coming from outside.  I don’t think that was it, but I can’t help analyzing.  I wish I looked at the clock before I turned off the computer.  I know it was around 10 pm.  I wouldn’t have been surprised if I heard that voice around 10:20, 10:22, etc. 
(I am STILL seeing those 1’s and 2’s on the clocks.)
