Spirit Messenger
As expected of a seventh son of a seventh son, Gordon Smith displayed his psychic abilities as a child, but did not start to develop as a medium until he had a dream of the death of a close friend that terrifyingly came true. Gordon started giving public displays of mediumship at a prodigiously young 25 years of age and has gone on to become one of the most gifted mediums in the world, bringing comfort to thousands of people with his messages from the spirit world. To keep both his feet on the ground he still works in his barbershop in the west end of his native Glasgow. Always happy to work with the scientists who have wanted to research psychic abilities, Gordon has achieved extraordinary results under laboratory conditions time and time again. One of the researchers, Emeritus Professor of Astronomy, Prof Archie. E. Roy, at Glasgow University has become deeply impressed by Gordon's 'Gordon Smith provides exact names, addresses, events and descriptions sharply relevant to a person's life and the lives of the people they have known'.

Hailed as “Britain’s most accurate medium” Gordon has been featured in numerous television documentaries including the BBC’s Everyman, "Mediums: Talking With the Dead" 3 part series as well as appearing as an expert guest on various shows such as This Morning, Richard and Judy and the BBC's Heaven and Earth. Gordon has also presented one of the nation's favourite paranormal shows, Living TV's 'Most Haunted', as well as his own series on the Biography Channel. He even managed to find the time to squeeze in a cameo in a Jacki Collins movie, Paris Connections!
He has travelled to many parts of the world to appear before audiences, read for many celebrities, and written numerous books, including Spirit Messenger and The Unbelievable Truth, which have been published to critical acclaim. Gordon has written regular columns for newspapers such as the Daily Record, Take A Break magazine and Best magazine.
From early childhood Gordon had the ability to see, sense and hear spirit people. As a young boy his ability often unnerved those around him and so he learned to close his mind to these experiences.
Through his teenage years he pushed his abilities into the background of his awareness and lived a very average teenage life. He pursued his passion for gymnastics until he was 19. He was good enough to be selected for the Scottish Commonwealth Games squad. It wasn’t until he was 24, when a friend’s brother appeared at his bedside in the middle of the night that these gifts were re-awakened. He later learned that the brother had died that night in a tragic fire. Gordon went with his friend to a spiritualist church, during the service he was told that he would one day be speaking from the ‘platform’. This was the start of over 15 years of study and practice as Gordon went on to develop his outstanding abilities as a medium or messenger from the spirit world under the tutelage of some of the great legends of the spiritualist church. He developed in a mediumship circle run by the extraordinary Mrs. Primrose, an inspirational figure in Scottish spiritualism and became a close friend of the legendary Albert Best, who is widely acknowledged as one of be best mediums of the last century.
Many years on Gordon Smith is now one of the world’s top psychic mediums and spiritual teachers in the UK. Having spent 15 years balancing his work as an internationally renowned medium with his day job, as a barber in his native Glasgow, Gordon now conducts mediumship workshops and events around the world. Gordon’s Celtic charm and lively demonstrations provide his audience with a rare opportunity to experience the fascinating phenomenon of mediumship, which he delivers to his audience with a mix of his distinctive style of humour, pure passion, and empathy to others.

Deeply interesting book by noted Scottish medium Gordon Smith.
I found this one to be very thought provoking, and actually helpful with something I'd been wrestling with.
Highly recommended.

I was interested in this tale as I know a medium who was once a hairdresser. I think its a good trade for budding mediums because it gets you used to meeting people from all walks of life. I personally hate it when I have to find a new hairdresser because I can't keep going there unless I feel comfortable. In my experience the majority are gentle, people persons and they are hardworking too, all of which are qualities you need to be a medium working either privately or on public platforms.

As always I found Gordon's book a good read, but also enlightening about his experiences and journey. But I also found it very uplifting.
