The spiritual meaning of a black feather is that theyβre a direct connection to the divine, feathers are a sign of encouragement from the spiritual world to remind you to keep on going, even when times get tough. As feathers come from birds, they are also associated with freedom.Β

Hi, J! How do you "do" the channeled messages? I always was interested in the "process" behind the magic we see in your future spouse posts in general, but especially the channeled messages! They are so accurate and they touch our hearts so deep... It's alright if you don't feel like sharing or something, keep yourself healthy and happy! ππ
Iβm really sorry for the late reply.
Disclaimer: Iβm speaking from personal experience here, my experience might be different from other peopleβs.Β
I don't know how other people define it or do it, but I personally see it as if you are being spoken to. I don't do it the way psychics do it, not to the point of being 'taken by a spirit' or 'speaking with the dead', I'm still undecided about anything too spiritual since I'm a practical person.
Since I use tarot for it; from my experience it's similar to reading tarot cards, you are still reading the energies. The difference is it's a lot more flowy; you let it flow through you instead of being so analytical and structured about it (thatβs why some sentences do not make any sense). Plus, you use the first person point of view.
The messages come in two forms:
The words/sentences come up by themselves. Eg. "I have so much of you in my heart". This one is easy, the reader just has to pass on the message.
The message comes in the form of feeling, energies, whatever you call it; Eg. your chest feels heavy and full when you are doing the reading, you pick up on a desire to break away. For this one, sometimes the words just appear but sometimes the reader has to find the words for it.
In a normal tarot reading you do about Person X, when you pick up on a desire to break away, you can simply say "X wants to break away from something, could be external control like a boss, religion, parents etc".
In a channeled reading, when you pick up on a desire to break away, you have to tune into it deeper to feel how Person X would describe it, how it might feel to them. This makes it exhausting.
I.e whoever you are trying to channel.Β
In one of my channeled readings; one person has an intense personality. I couldn't just write "I like you" because it felt wrong. It wasnβt enough. "I have an ocean in my soul and I want to drown you in it" felt better. The latter depicted the mix of intense emotions that came up in that reading.
In other words, the message is influenced by the entity's personality, so there is a lot more freedom to decide how you want to explain it in a normal tarot reading, than when you are doing a channeled reading.
1) Their personality does not match the topic
Let's say you want to do a sexual reading. Now, what kind of message can you get from a polite person if you ask them to talk about sex? What kind of message can you get from someone who does not talk dirty at all?
As a reader, I can see the images or scenes but I canβt find the words to describe it, no words will come out, because I can feel that the words IΒ want to use do not match the personality of the person, so it feels wrong to say anything. But saying nothing means my querent will not get anything.
2) No message
Sometimes the person (whoever you are channeling) just does not want to talk about something. So in this case, I will get nothing. It feels like you hit a wall when you try to go deeper. The cards are there, you know the cards are supposed to represent something, but no info.
3) The reader does not have the words
For the messages that come in the form of feelings, sometimes I can't find the words to describe them. I can feel like there is a joke here, the teasing tone, etc but I might not be able to do it because I'm not funny (lmao) and I don't have the words. I can't just write "they like to make jokes".
Hence why when you look at channeled readings available online; some channeled readings sound right, but some sound a bit off. It's because the messages go through the reader's language skills (besides other factors I mentioned above). Channeled readings are hard to do to begin with, so I'm not looking down on anyone here, Iβm in the same boat.
From my experience and observation, a channeled message is a mix of the entity's energy/words and the reader's language skills. It's a bit different from normal tarot readings, your freedom is a bit limited when you do channeled readings.
Important: The words I use in my channeled readings, may not all be the exact words the person uses when they speak, because Iβm not them lol. But I do try to pick the words that have the closest meanings/nuances to their energy.
