What is a medium?
“A medium is an in-between person who connects to people who have crossed over, who have passed away, dead — everybody uses different language. I just say ‘on the other side,’” says Rowena Angela Rasquinha, a Las Vegas medium of 21 years.
Beyond human readings, some mediums also deal in pets. Angela works with dogs, cats, birds, and even horses, along with their owners.
What’s the difference between a medium and a psychic?
Longtime Las Vegas psychic and medium Angie Marks, of Psychic Readings by Angie, says that a psychic deals in normal life and handles general questions, while a medium mainly corresponds with those who have passed away.
What should I ask a Las Vegas medium?
Most Las Vegas inquiries revolve around money and luck. Rasquinha often discusses gambling with professional poker players who visit Las Vegas for tournaments and other events. Locals’ questions involve testing the luck of cashing in paychecks to the casinos.
On a broader scale, Marks notes that topics of love, particularly regarding soulmates, are popular right now.
How should I prepare for an appointment?
Quell your nerves. “It’s a little bit of fun and pleasure,” Marks says. “You need to have an open mind, and you need to focus on (your) wishes and (your) lifespan, look at the universe, and we’ll find out what’s going on in the universe.”
“A lot of people will sit very stoic, with their arms across, which blocks the energy completely,” Rasquinha says. “I want you to be open, because the more open you are, the better the reading is.”
Any myths to bust about mediumship?
“The myth is that everybody is a scam,” Rasquinha says. Contrary to popular portrayals, crystal balls and costumes are not part of the experience. Psychics and mediums provide services that shouldn’t generate fear or make false promises about any outcomes. “I tell people that there is no bad luck, only bad choices.”
What should I do after a session?
Rasquinha recommends meditation, getting outside, and other uplifting activities. “Go outdoors in nature, play with animals, watch funny movies, funny shows, talk to people who are uplifting,” she says. “Make a conscious effort with your mindset to say, ‘Everything will always work out for me.’”
