Missing persons anyone?

[Arania]

I wonder if any of you have done readings for missing person cases. I never used to, until last year a woman from the wider area went missing and I thought to try. I drew one card from the Marseilles and got Death reversed, which moved in a way first reminding me of a hanging and I thought suicide, but then it all seemed to fall and I saw some weird motion reminding me of water. I had the impression she fell into a body of water and drowned. 

 

Forgot about it until now, when I saw news about her case with the information that, some months back, a fisher found hair of her color in a body of water but searches have not found anything as the area is vast and verdant and chances to find anything are rather low.

 

I admit that this information isn't really that helpful in the larger scheme, and I hadn't planned it to be, it was just an experiment, and just one card. I had planned to read for other missing person cases/criminal cases to see what I could get but forgot due to other issues coming up.

 

I am going to try again, I think, not because I believe it could be of much use to anyone, but to widen my methods and topics. And who knows, maybe I will get something useful.

 

So if anyone has a good spread for this, please share. I'll make something up, probably, but I'd love to hear about how other readers go about this with whatever type of deck, and the successes or lack thereof you've had.

I have done it a few times and I’ve always made my own spreads, unique ones for every occasion. I basically pinpoint what I want to know, and then I make it into spread positions. 

[Natural Mystic Guide]

I have successfully located both missing/dead animals and people.  I have not used, Tarot, though to do this.  I create sacred space and work directly with my Guidance Team.  Sometimes I can directly communicate with the animals/people dead or alive.

 

I chose not to do a Tarot or Oracle spread simply because it has been more effective and accurate to work directly with Guidance and the missing/dead animals and people.

Yeah that's probably best. I did another reading for a recently missing woman from around here with a spread just popping in my head and got a clear "is running away from controlling husband, doesn't want to be found."

 

I just need to remember to follow the cases to see how accurate I can get.

I could probably attemt that, but for one most cases are far away and I can't really do anything to find them as I am not mobile. I found a dog that way once but I don't seem to have guides much interested in finding missing people, but then I have never asked, hmm.

 

I specifically want to use with cards here because I'm really best at getting visual input even from the spirits around me.

I'm in Bali, so sometimes I am working with cases that are half way around the world.  I find that when you are working in the spiritual realm, physical proximity is not an issue.  If your Guides do not seem interested in this, it may just not be part of your mission work. 

 

I work with a map and can pinpoint the location of a person/body  sometimes fairly specifically to within a certain grid.  I just cannot do that with cards.

[Arania]

I really just didn't think to ask. Usually, I rely on my own power, and then I need to be close by.

 

The other issue is that, would I be sure of any location I'd need to check it out because no one would likely listen to me and I'm also not someone to send someone somewhere when I can't be sure. Which means I need to be able to get there first.

A good practice might be to read on historical cases where they've been found or where the case has been solved. At least then you can verify your readings without having to wait for the case to be closed. With so many people going missing each year I'm sure there's plenty of cases to use for this sort of study.

 

I have an isis 6 step pendulum which is supposed to be good for finding missing people/pets/things. It has a chamber which you can put items in, like a strand of hair, a thread of fabric from their favourite item of clothing, etc. Then you use the pendulum over a map and feel for changes in frequency or you get movements in the pendulum when you're in the area they might be located.

Though I haven't had chance to use it this way, I’ve just read about others that have in passing. It's quite common to put water in these sort of pendulums and use them to locate places to dig for wells.

 

There's also geomancy which is the sister to astrology. There's many cases of people using it for locating missing things. Not sure I've seen anyone use it for missing people, but I would imagine it's basically the same method as trying to find objects. It would also be good to use it to see if they are alive or not. Which would be a mode of perfection to the 8th house or turned 8th house (IIRC you use both).

Wow.  It's very interesting reading this thread.

What do you do, if you get a strong indication of what has happened to the missing person?  Do you try to tell somebody?  If so, what happens when you do?  Do they believe you?

I almost tried it myself a few years ago, when the relative of a friend of mine disappeared ...left his car and all  his personal effects (wallet, keys, cards etc and some clothing) in it ...parked right at the shore of a beach near his home.  It looks as if he walked into the sea ...but nothing of him was ever found, despite a huge, long-lasting search.  His family is devastated, as you can imagine.  I did toy with the idea of using the cards for insight, but chickened out. What would I do if I did get an answer?  Still don't know.  😞 

[Arania]

The problem with histoical cases is that I've likely read up on them and know the answers, as I am very curious about why people go missing. I'm regularly checking missing persons sites world wide. Weird hobby I know.

 

I did not tell anyone where the dog I located was, I just went and got it and no one asked. The dog was 2 streets over which is how I knew, my detection abilities without a bit of aid don't go further than that, and then only for living beings. With few exceptions, sometimes I see news about someone missing and know instantly that the person is dead and probably why, but that's rare. I used to be able to find items in my youth but that has somehow evaporated, at an age where I'd really could use the help 😂

 

I would not know who to tell if I would be certain, or as good as it gets to certain. I don't want to waste anyone's time and don't think anyone would believe me, so I'd have to check myself, unless I could make up some excuse to send someone as in "I was in that area and saw someone" etc, but I am not good at making that up and it would probably be obvious that I could not have been there. It would be as bad as dreaming about stuff you know will happen but it would be pointless to try and warn anyone.

This might not matter though, as it's more to test the cards to see if they reveal accurate information.

If you know where they were found, you'll learn that certain cards may refer to specific types of locations, such as basements, woods, fields, etc. And then in the future you'd be able to use those meanings for missing persons that haven't been found yet 😊

It's not a weird hobby. A lot of people don't pay enough attention to these sorts of things.

I wouldn’t worry too much about this aspect yet. It would be better to focus on honing the skill.

If it ever came to you needing to share information then you can do it anonymously, via phone call. 😊

Ah yeah, good idea. It'll do that.

 

Images move for me most of the time though so what is on the card is not always the same in the end, and sometimes not even at the beginning. And it can get very weird. I had the Fool leave the card once after lifting a finger for me to wait and then he came back with a chicken on the head, jumped and got carried away by it.

What do you mean by Guidance Team, a team of like minded people that often work together or spirit guides?

Barleywine https://parsifalswheeldivination.com/tag/missing-persons/ has done reading for missing persons.

 

I tried it with Tarot cards, I used a 3 card spread. It has never worked for me. 

 

Forensic Astrology can give insights. Look for Kirsty Mcintosh and Valerie Evans, you can find them on YouTube.

[Misterei]

I only read Tarot on a couple of missing persons and missing animals. NOT my area of expertise.

The one I got the most feedback:

I was correct in saying the person had gone South [Sun].

I was correct in saying he would be found in a legal setting or intervention [Justice].

I was correct in saying he had left due to discord in the home [living with grown son and wife who were fighting and also getting funny with his social security benefits].

This was an elderly man who took off to Mexico and his family was worried. He was spotted at the border by the border agents but they had no reason to detain him even though they tried to talk him into going back to his family in Cali ... so he continued into Mexico. This much of the reading was confirmed accurate ... but otherwise I din't know what hapeened and sadly I don't think I really helped the worried grand daughter that much 😞

The cards said he went to see a woman ... and it came out that he had a side dish while he was married and she was in Mexico. So this is possible but I don't know if it was accurate or not.

Hello @CasandraKnowsThings.  By 'Guidance Team' I mean  my Spirit Guides.  Thanks for asking.  I am actually going to post in the 'Professional Readers' section of the forum about services I offer to help people to meet and work with their own Spiritual Guidance Teams.  You might enjoy checking that out.

[ViviennePrintice]

This is a great idea and helpful to others if you can get the connections to be of service.
I have always been interested in solving cold cases, watching Forensic Files, Cold Case Files and American Justice.

Now, I can finally do more with this interest.

 

You have inspired me to get these cards.

It’s been fascinating reading through this thread. I didn’t realise using the cards to find missing people was a thing!
 

Would be great to hear how your readings turn out if you do end up practicing with the solved cases
