📚 ABOUT THE BOOK

Seven gifted intuitives reveal the hidden currents of perception that bridge the seen and unseen worlds.

Sherry Ward’s personal crisis—facing an uncertain kidney diagnosis—spurred a deep inquiry into the reliability of psychic insight. After five psychics accurately predicted her medical outcome, she embarked on a rigorous investigation of seven distinct practitioners. This volume offers intimate profiles of these individuals, exploring their unique methodologies for sensing information beyond conventional senses. Whether providing emotional wisdom, spiritual guidance, or messages from the departed, each subject demonstrates how extra-sensory perception serves as a vital tool for navigation. Ward curates these narratives to highlight the integrity and skill required in this field, moving beyond anecdote to examine the serious work of intuitive professionals.

Fun fact
Ward succeeds in humanizing the psychic profession through rigorous, empathetic profiling. The book shines in its detailed exploration of how these individuals translate vague impressions into actionable advice. However, readers seeking hard scientific evidence or theoretical frameworks may find it lacking. It occupies a unique niche: part memoir, part professional directory, and part philosophical inquiry into the nature of knowledge. It is essential for those who view the occult as a practical craft rather than a mystical abstraction.

📝 Description: Seekers of the Soul: Seven Psychics and Intuitives Talk about Their Work, and The Lives That Led Them To It

When doctors discovered a mass in Sherry Ward's kidney, they could not say whether it was malignant. Apprehensive about radical surgery and concerned by their uncertainty, she turned elsewhere. Armed with information from five psychics, she went against the medical odds. When the psychics proved correct, Ward's interest in psychic work intensified. Seekers of the Soul is the result of Ward's inquisitive journey into the world of psychics, visionaries, and intuitives who gain information using more than the traditional senses. Here Ward presents detailed profiles of seven individuals with exceptional abilities to sense and translate what to others is "not there." After interviewing numerous psychics, Ward chose the most principled, unique and skillful among them for Seekers of the Soul. Each person profiled uses his or her gifts to provide seekers with spiritual insight, emotional wisdom, or perhaps a connection to a loved-one who has crossed over. Although each psychic or intuitive divines his or her information differently, their clients benefit from the guidance, finding information relevant to their lives. For all who are intrigued by the extra-sensory realm and want to know how to take your soul to its highest potential, you'll find Ward's research and engaging profiles replete with insight and meaning.

💎 Expert review

💎
Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Ward offers a sincere exploration of psychic work, grounding it in her own medical uncertainty to establish credibility. The profiles of the seven practitioners provide varied insights into intuitive methodologies, appealing to those who view these skills as professional disciplines rather than mere parlor tricks. However, readers seeking rigorous scientific proof or statistical data will likely find this volume lacking in empirical evidence. It is not suited for strict materialists or those who prefer detached, academic analyses of consciousness. Instead, it serves best as a narrative-driven introduction to the field, focusing on the human element and personal integrity of psychics rather than objective verification.

Solid edition

Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. You can tell why this work has endured. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Recommended with reservations.

Finally got around to ordering this. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. Happy enough with the purchase.
