A VISIT TO CASSADAGA: PART II



Marion Pellicano Ambrose

The ladies at the bookstore told us the way to Medium, Reverend Patricia Aubrey Carpenter’s home. What they didn’t tell us was that it was up and down hills, over dirt and gravel roads and around several bends. We passed places like Spirit Pond, Harmony Hall and Medicine Wheel Park. I somehow had the feeling we were entering Sleepy Hollow and half expected to see fairies or dwarves peeking out from behind the trees.

Finally we saw the lavender fence that Rev. Patti told me would identify her house.
We parked on a grassy knoll next to the house and walked up to the door. I have to admit I was a little nervous. My daughter rang the bell and the door opened. Standing there was the sweetest looking little lady with red hair and a warm smile. She introduces herself as Rev. Patti and invited us in.

The room was light and filled with interesting items. She invited us to sit and asked us to excuse her for a few moments as she still had someone with her. As we waited, we glanced around at the shiny ceramic cat my daughter nicknamed zebra cat, for its black and white (or was it white and black?) stripes. On a polished wall plaque, an adorable carved wooden raccoon scampered up a tree. There were magazines and pamphlets on Spiritualism and the Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp and we both started reading.

It was only minutes before a young lady came out with Rev. Patti. She was thanking her, drying her tears and promising to remember what the Reverend had told her. OK, I was a little nervous again! We decided I would go in first. (One at a time so vibrations aren’t confused.) We sat down, some calming music started in the background, and then, we prayed.

A VISIT TO CASSADAGA, FLORIDA - PSYCHIC CAPITAL OF THE WORLD

A Visit to the Psychic Capitol of the World – Cassadaga, Florida

Sometimes I’m filled with curiosity about new places and new beliefs. Such was the case when I decided to spend a day with my daughter checking out the Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp near Lake Helen. The camp has a long and rich history of famous psychics (mediums) residents, teachers and healers. I decided to learn more about the history and visit a certified medium/healer myself.
