Talking to Heaven

Circle Network Book Review: ‘Talking to Heaven Mediumship Cards’ by James Van Praagh. This is a boxed set of 44 cards and a guidebook. Published by Hay House at £13.99. 


The card stock is excellent quality and the edges are gold leafed. The card size is 5”x 3.5” and each bears an image and a 10 word supportive message which is extended in the guidebook by 100 words. It is designed to heal, uplift, and reassure those who are bereaved and can be used for the self or to provide a reading for others, such as friends and family. The instructions suggest a question is asked of loved ones in the spirit world. A card is drawn at random which is the response. The guidebook explains how to shuffle and choose a card, how to use the cards, and clear energy from them. The artwork is digitally produced; examples are a unicorn, heart, dove, rainbow, beach, butterfly, compass, lighthouse, clouds and sunflowers.



A child or beginner can use these cards with confidence that a beneficial experience will be achieved. The suggested method is easy and straight-forward. Drawing one card is usually sufficient; if not, a 3 card reading for past, present and future is suggested. For many, the message on the face of the card and the extended message within the guidebook will provide an opening to allow Spirit to make further communication for longer, more in depth, information.


I have chosen a sample card. On the front it says, “Remember me by the happy memories we created’. The guidebook adds to this, “I can see you remembering me with heaviness in your heart, because you worry and grieve. These are normal, beautiful, and understandable emotions... and they are a part of your healing. However, when the dust settles, I really wish that you would focus upon our happy times instead of the sad ending. Keep my memory alive by thinking of me at our most joyful times. When something stirs a pleasant memory, talk to me about this, and know that I will hear you and share the sentimental moment with you.”


This set was first published in 2013 and was authored by Doreen Virtue and James Van Praagh. It has been republished in 2018 under the exclusive authorship of Van Praagh. The author has an audiobook ‘Talking to Heaven’, and a paperback of the same title available.    Reviewer: Wendy Stokes
