   Which Spiritual Tool Should You Use? Tarot, Spirit Boxes, Signs, and Discernment

   Which spiritual tool should you use? The one you are curious enough to actually try, because the tool may be showing you less about itself and more about how you receive. People ask me which spiritual tool works best. Tarot? Dowsing rods? A spirit box? An app? My honest answer is usually much simpler: what are you curious about? In this episode, I’m talking about what spiritual tools actually do, why the same tool can work beautifully for one person and feel like complete noise to someone else, and how tools can help you recognize the way you already receive information. We get into tarot and mediumship, messages through music, spirit boxes, the Brownie and Estes methods, book divination, signs, discernment, and why I do not believe every word or movement has to mean something. I also talk about the difference between being allowed to explore and treating every spiritual or cultural tradition as ours to pick up without context. If you have been so worried about doing it “right” that you have been afraid to try, this is your permission to get curious, learn where the practice came from, and pay attention to what you notice.

   Psychic vs. Medium vs. Channel: What Does Connection Actually Feel Like?

   What’s the difference between being psychic, practicing mediumship, and channeling. And more importantly, what do those different kinds of connection actually feel like when you’re the one experiencing them? This episode started with one question during our Psychic Medium Practice Circle: “Are we channeling?” My answer was basically… yes. Well, no. Not exactly. 😂 So I went down the rabbit hole. In this episode of Open Channel, we’re talking about the difference between receiving psychic information, connecting mediumistically, and allowing information to flow through you through channeling. I’m sharing how each one tends to feel for me, how these different forms of connection can overlap, why validation and discernment matter, and why being “wrong” sometimes is actually part of learning your own intuitive language. We also get into the way channeling has shown up in my own work. From automatic writing and painting to readings, energy work, rituals, recipes, herbal remedies, teaching, and even this podcast. And why I don’t believe channeling has to look like someone going into a deep trance and letting a named spirit take over. And importantly: boundaries. Opening a connection is only half of the practice. You also get to decide when you’re available, what you’re available for, and when the connection is finished. This Thursday, we’re taking this conversation out of theory and actually experimenting with it during our Psychic Medium Practice Circle. We’ll intentionally practice psychic connection, mediumship, and channeling so you can begin noticing how each feels for YOU. ✨ Psychic Medium Practice Circle Thursday at 8 PM CT Included with Patreon membership Join us here: (https://www.patreon.com/kate_thebrave/posts/psychic-medium-168977075?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link) COMING UP: September 19 — Paranormal Fest at Victoria’s Black Swan Inn (curioustwins.com/paranormal-fest) October 3 — Wild Craft General Pop-Up calendly.com/katethebrave/pop-up (calendly.com/katethebrave/pop-up) Find Kate the Brave: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kate.the.brave ( https://www.instagram.com/kate.the.brave) Website / Book a Reading: calendly.com/katethebrave (calendly.com/katethebrave) Patreon: patreon.com/kate_thebrave (patreon.com/kate_thebrave) Open Channel with Kate the Brave is a space for exploring intuition, mediumship, energy, spirituality, and what it looks like to actually live with your connection woven into everyday life.

   You Don’t Need Another Sign: Grounding, Tarot & Self-Trust

   How many signs do you need before you allow yourself to trust what you already know? After an intense eclipse season filled with conflict, discomfort, and big steps forward, it can be tempting to immediately search for the next answer, message, or thing you need to fix. But sometimes, what you actually need is to come back into yourself. In this episode, we’re talking about what grounding really means—not pretending everything is fine, but staying connected to yourself while life feels uncertain. I share how tarot helped me move beyond my own biases, reflect honestly, and hear what I genuinely needed without giving my power away. We’ll also explore the difference between reflection and rumination, why spiritual guidance should deepen your self-trust rather than replace it, and how to take the next honest step without having the entire path figured out. Maybe this season wasn’t asking you to become someone completely new. Maybe it was asking you to come more fully into who you already are.
