ON BEHALF OF THE INVISIBLE ONES

 Some spirits have very strong opinions of people in your life - your medium may not understand the depth of this emotion, or where it stems from because of personal boundaries I discussed before - but the spirits will try to reach past me to their loved one, one way or another.  If they've wanted to express something to you for some time you may get inundated with information, like a storm of emotion.
       Some clues might be about the past; perhaps you didn't realize you weren't truly left out of your grandfather's will.  Maybe a great aunt left you a gift that was never delivered. Perhaps you are not biologically related to the people you grew up with and one of your blood relatives would like you to know.
      Some clues tend to be for events set to take place very far into your future, sometimes years down the road; but I find people who repeatedly get readings done will have predictions that are closer to their current time frame. 
      My theory is that a spirit who has never had an opportunity to "speak" to you may fear this is a one time thing and try to cram everything they "see" ahead of you in, just in case they never have an interpreter again.  Once they know you can contact them, that you accept they are really there and are open to communication, they are more at ease and so the messages are less of an emotional bombardment.
     

Not exactly what I was searching for but interesting nonetheless!

Coins

This is a very different way of reading coins than I follow (which I discovered courtesy of Wikipedia). I found it quite interesting though and wanted to share.

Three-coin method

Two heads and one tail of the original I-Ching Divination Coins.

The three coin method came into currency over a thousand years later. The quickest, easiest, and most popular method by far, it has largely supplanted the yarrow stalks, but produces outcomes with different likelihoods. Three coins are tossed at once. Each coin is given a value of 2 or 3 depending upon whether it is tails or heads respectively. Six such tosses make the hexagram.

Two-coin method

Some purists contend that there is a problem with the three-coin method because its probabilities differ from the more ancient yarrow-stalk method. In fact, over the centuries there have even been other methods used for consulting the oracle.

The two-coin method involves tossing one pair of coins twice: on the first toss, two heads give a value of 2 and anything else is 3; on the second toss, each coin is valued separately, to give a sum from 6 to 9, as above. This results in the same distribution of probabilities as for the yarrow-stalk method

Four coins

With tails assigned the value 0 and heads the value 1, four coins tossed at once can be used to generate a four-bit binary number, the right-most coin indicating the first bit, the next coin indicating the next bit, etc. The number 0000 is called old yin; the next three numbers—0001, 0010, and 0011 (the binary numbers whose decimal equivalents are 1, 2, and 3, respectively)—are called old yang, with a similar principle applied to the remaining twelve outcomes. This gives identical results to the yarrow-stalk method.

Decimal Coins Line 12 H H T T --- --- 13 H H T H --- --- 14 H H H T --- --- 15 H H H H --- ---

The two-coin method described above can be performed with four coins, simply by having one pair of coins be alike—of the same size or denomination—while the other two are of a different size or denomination; the larger coins can then be counted as the first toss, while the two smaller coins constitute the second toss (or vice versa).

Six coins

Six coins—five identical coins and one different—can be thrown at once. The coin that lands closest to a line drawn on the table will make the first line of the hexagram and so on, heads for yang, tails for yin. The distinct coin is a moving line. This has the dual failings that it forces every hexagram to be a changing hexagram, and it only ever allows exactly one line to be changing.

Eight coins on Ba Qian

Eight coins, one marked, are tossed at once. They are picked up in order and placed onto a Bagua diagram; the marked coin rests on the lower trigram. The eight process is repeated for the upper trigram. After a third toss the first six coins are placed on the hexagram to mark a moving line. This has the deficiency or allowing at most one moving line whereas all six lines could be moving in traditional methods.
