Clairvoyant Evening Etiquette
The Clairvoyant evenings are held in the Library Chatroom which we have named the Chapel. They are light-hearted and fun evenings but because we are linking with Spirit we do tend to treat that room with a little bit more respect that we would our normal chatroom. Therefore we keep the language clean.
On arriving in the room, as we all gather there will be general chatter amongst ourselves until the Medium for the evening is ready to "Open the room". This is done by the medium with a short prayer. Obviously as the prayer is being typed in we all sit quietly with no interrupting.
We can then generally chat again until the Medium will give the indication that she has spirit with her and is ready to start putting in a message. As she does so it is only polite to stop with the chatter.
The Medium will have chosen a colour of text that you can instantly recognise when typed in so you can instantly see when she is talking. We realise that sometimes we are already typing and have clicked to send and our message sometimes buts in on the medium accidently. If this happens there is no need to appologise, just let it go.
While the message is coming through if you can take what is being given then simply say "I can take that"
Asking questions is a difficult one. Imagine you are in an audience and the medium goes to someone across a room. While the medium was passing her message you wouldn't butt in and ask a question about the spirit coming through for that person would you. But if you were the one receiving the message you would maybe ask the medium if it is possible to get a name or can they see how they have passed.
Do not give any extra information. Except "I can take that" It is up to the medium to say whether it feels like your granma or your sister or your Dad. You must not say anything extra until your reading is over. You can then add details to confirm if you wish.
You may of course answer any questions the Medium might ask. But only answer the question. Do not add details.
At the end of the evening the Medium will then close the room with a short prayer.
So in short
We can chatter when the medium is not passing a message.
We stop chattering while the message is being passed.
We do not ask the Medium questions unless we feel that we need a little extra to give proof that the spirit is who we think it is.
We do not give the medium any extra information.
If I see that anyone is ignoring any of the above I will PM you and ask you to stop. Please do not take this personally as I know that when people are new to our Clairvoyant Evenings it is sometimes difficult to know what is ok and what is not.
I know the above may seem to be a little on the strict side but it is very frustrating when typing in a message from spirit and get peeps asking questions willy nilly or giving us extra information when it is up to us to supply it.
It is also very time consuming to have to filter out the extra chat between the messages when posting the evening in the relevant forum. The only text that should be mixed in with the message should be from the person receiving the message if possible. Unless the medium has asked a general question to all.
You may at some point during the evening see either Fran or Nanny, and myself if neither of those are attending, seem to break the rule above. This is because Fran and Nanny are very experienced and Fran is our main teacher. Therefore when someone is learning to give messages is taking the floor then they will be being helped to ask the right questions of spirit in order to get a better link or proof.
But above all have fun and enjoy the evenings.
