Mary Bishop Author

Mary Bishop – Author, Psychic, Photographer; I was working at a Psychic Festival in Bristol when I had my first Mediumship experience. It was at the end of the second day and the cue of people waiting for a Tarot reading was not going down.; I was very tired and when the next person sat down, shuffled the cards, and handed them to me, I laid out the spread and my mind went blank. I looked at the cards but for the first time in my life, I could not read them. But at that moment I started to pick up information from people who had passed over.; This was back in the 1980s and from that moment on, often when I read the cards for people, their deceased friends and relatives come through, including one time when a dog jogged my arm to make sure I knew she was there.; In the decades that followed, I have been fortunate enough to give my clients proof of survival from those who have passed on and seeing the joy in my their faces, is one of the greatest rewards I can have. ; My interest in writing started in the 1970's when I went to writing classes with my father. We shared a love of words and enjoyed the time together and I learnt the fundamentals, even though it would be a long time before I put them to use.; It was 2002 and we were living in New Zealand when I wrote my first article. It was about Reiki and Tarot and I sent it to the local paper, the Ponsonby News, who changed one word, and published it. From then on I wrote regular articles for them until 2005 when we moved back to the UK.; For the next few years my writing took a back seat until 2015 when I decided to write my autobiography about my psychic experiences, which was published in 2016. Once I had written one book, the ideas came flooding through and I have written two further books, both novels with a spiritual theme, the most recent being published in January this year.; My book writing also renewed my writing of articles and I have regularly contributed to spiritual publications both in the UK and the USA and still do to this day.; Until recently we lived in Brighton & Hove and were fortunate to enjoy some amazing sunsets from our apartment. Every one was different and I started taking photographs and over the years I have amassed some magical moments. When we are out and about a camera is never far away and I love to share my photographs with others through my website and on Instagram.; We have recently refurbished our new home in West Sussex, and when not writing, I enjoy catching up with friends and family and a glass of Chablis at the end of the day.
