Whispers from Beyond - Paperback

A guide to telling a meaningful sign from an ordinary coincidence.

Suzanne Everett — author, psychic and medium — sets out twenty signs commonly reported by people who believe a deceased loved one or a spirit guide is trying to reach them: repeating numbers, feathers and coins, a scent that belongs to someone, lights and batteries, butterflies and dragonflies, the visitation dream, and waking at the same hour night after night.

Each sign is given the same treatment: what the tradition holds it to mean, what to look for, and, on the same page, the ordinary explanation. A flickering light is usually a loose bulb. A white feather is usually a duvet. The book says so plainly, on the grounds that a guide claiming everything is a sign is worth nothing at all.

A closing section offers four tests for discernment, guidance on how to ask for a sign, journal pages for recording what actually happens, and a chapter on what it means when nothing comes.

What this book does not do. It makes no promise that a sign will arrive, and it does not claim to interpret what a loved one is thinking. It is not medical or psychological treatment, and it says so inside.
