HOW TO INTERPRET A READING FROM ANGIE
By Christina M. Schumacher

Back to Angie's Page

     I can't help but wonder how many people have missed important messages from loved ones when they've received a reading from Angie. It's understandable, though, as we've been trained to take words at face value, but not trained to look beyond the words.
     When someone orders a reading from Angie, they are usually wanting someone specific to come through to them. When they receive their reading, their first instinct is to tear the reading apart piece by piece and line by line, looking for something specific to know that a loved one has come through. When a certain name or mention of a certain event is not present in the reading, people seem to immediately lose faith in the person who read for them. Remember, no medium is 100% correct, 100% of the time. If they claim to be, then it would be wise to steer clear.
     There are certain ways to look at the readings that Angie does to get the most out of them. This comes in three steps.

1) Read the reading in full before making any judgments about what is on there.
2) Realize that, at times, parts of the reading may be for someone close to you as this may be the only opportunity "their" loved one has a chance to get through.
3) Look more closely at the reading. Do not necessarily take it line by line, but put certain areas together. By doing this, you will see who the person is sharing the message through Angie's guide.

     Number one is pretty self-explanatory, so I'll move on to number two. There may be times that the whole reading may not be for you. Clear examples of this came in my own reading which you can find on Angie's Readings page under "Chris, this site editor".
     "Have you ever visited Nashville, Tennessee? If you haven't, then one day you will go there. Hear lots of country music. Think of the works of Mark Twain here too. Did you love his books? See Huckleberry Finn, especially. Hope you understand why I see him. Who is Lance? Is this name familiar to you or The Night Watchman?"
     All of these things in my reading were for The Night Watchman. He has been to Nashville - I have not. He has many favorite singers (old country) and played them often as a child. He and his family visited the town where Mark Twain grew up and his father read the book Huckleberry Finn every year. Lance was The Night Watchman's co-worker at his day job.
     What this comes down to is that there may have been a loved one who wished to let The Night Watchman know that he had not been forgotten. We don't specifically know who this loved one may have been but, chances are, it was someone who was around The Night Watchman and his family when he was a child. This loved one also knew where he was currently through the mentioning of The Night Watchman's co-worker, Lance.
     Since this happens often, Angie always suggests asking those around you if something in the reading does not fit for you. By doing this, you allow someone else to receive a much needed message as well.
     Moving on to number three. In my own reading, my father, who passed in 1987, came through very strongly. Angie states:
     "A gentleman in the family died rather suddenly and comes in to say hi. Heart was the way he went. You know him, he says, very well. Wants to give love and hugs to you, your mum and all the family. He is telling me he inspires you and pushes you from Spirit. A lot of your ideas come from him he says. Very proud of you, too. Feel Father or Grandfather here."
     I have no doubt this was my father as he did die suddenly from a heart attack, specifically mentions my mother and all the family, and says he inspires and pushes me from Spirit and, of course, I knew him well. Just to be certain that I would know it was him, he added a few other things within the reading that I would recognize if I did not try to take things one sentence at a time.
     "Have you ever studied Mata Hari, the Dutch spy in WWI? Get this pretty strongly here, Chris."
     I was very confused over this for awhile as I was pulling my reading apart too. However, once a friend of mine had his reading, I went back to my own and re-read it and discovered some interesting things. Mata Hari did not make sense to me at all at first, until I remembered that I used to call my father a spy. He worked for the government as secret service so I never really knew what he did for a living. Thus, I called him a spy. He, of course, would have known this and offered Mata Hari (a spy) as an indication that he was coming through. There is no one else who would fit this profile that has passed.
     "I also see ice skating with you or with someone you know."
     This sentence was also indicative of something my father would know that I would recognize. It doesn't say that I am being seen ice skating, but it is about ice skating. My father could not swim, so we were never allowed to go ice skating as our friends were. It was a sore spot with all of us kids.
     "Where is the little white chapel? Well attended. Is this part of your past?"
     Another indication of my father as "the little white chapel" was the only church I can ever remember my father going to with us. It was also the church where he accepted Christ.
     "Who is Betsy? Does this name mean anything, Chris?"
     My father's mother's name was Bessie and, after the reading, I asked Angie if the name had come through clearly. She said it could easily have been Bessie as names are not always as clear as she would like them to be.
     You see, all of these things are indications that my father was coming through in this reading very clearly. He was sharing things with me that I would recognize as a part of him. This is what you need to look for in your reading as well.
     Now, to prove the point, it didn't only work like this for me. A good friend of mine had a reading from Angie and he was actually the one who helped me to realize that there was more to the reading than met the eye.
     My friend had lost his father only a year or so previous to his reading, so when he received it, he wanted badly to find something within that related to his father. My father gave me a bit more to go on, but his father also came through in a quieter manner.
     "Can you take the name of Stuart somewhere also?  Do you own a ring that is a signet type as I see one on a finger.  More a sovereign ring. Feel also that your grandfather played a big part in your life.  Can you understand this? Who is called Al?"
     Stuart and Al were both good friends of my friend's father. The signet ring mentioned here was given to my friend by his father and he wears it all the time. The grandfather would also be his father's dad and my friend and the grandfather spent a lot of time together.
     "Why do I hear a helicopter?  Have you or did you ever have any reason to fly in one? Do you regularly go into a café or little restaurant where you are pretty well known? Who loves dogs also? Do you know anyone who works with drug addiction?"
     The helicopter belongs to either Stuart or Al, his dad's friends. The cafe was the cafe that his father went to on a scheduled evening every week and my friend and his wife have continued this tradition. His father absolutely adored dogs. His father was also a police officer and worked in the area of drug addiction for a long time.
     As you can see, these were all clues given by Angie's guides from my friend's father, but if he had torn the reading apart line by line, he would never have recognized these things being, specifically, from his father. His father did not come right out and say, "Hi son, I'm here." Instead, he gave other things that my friend would recognize and appreciate knowing that these things were given as a validation to him.
     So, if you look too closely, or you feel that every line separately must mean something significant, you may be missing exactly the message you are looking for.
     Sometimes, a particular loved one will mention something that has happened recently and  let you know that they have been watching over you. Reading between the lines may be what is needed by you to recognize who that loved one is. So, if you've had a reading from Angie, go back and take a look keeping these guidelines in mind. If you've never had a reading from Angie, but plan to soon, please keep these guidelines in mind as well. You will find that your reading is much more informative than you first thought.
     Of course, also keep in mind that though Angie does not often go into the future, sometimes loved ones will give her information that you may not understand at this time. It does not mean that Angie is inaccurate. It means that it is something or someone that you or, someone close to you, needs to watch for. So, keep your reading close and check it out every now and then as you might be pleasantly surprised.
