REVEREND MAVIS PITTILLA -ordained at the Journey within -New Jersey USA

OFFICIANT OF THE SPIRITUALIST NATIONAL UNION

LONG SERVICE AWARD HOLDER OF THE SPIRITUALIST NATIONAL UNION

Mavis’s journey began in 1966 on a bright summer day when she suddenly saw a male figure build up in the living room at her home. At the time she was very seriously ill having been told that she had only three months to live, the man told her to: ‘go and find a healer or you will not hear the New Year bells.’ The shock of this experience and the pursuit of spiritual healing and intervention of the medical profession led her to lifetime of dedication to Spirit and Spiritualism. ‘

From this time Mavis had spontaneous clairvoyance and clairaudience but had to learn to control it and utilise it properly. She initially trained under the tutorship of a gentleman called Mr Brookes at her local church in Middleton, near Manchester, but was then taken under the wing of Gordon Higginson, the most knowledgeable and inspirational medium of the 20th Century. This was a wonderful grounding and education and it also created a close and lasting friendship with this remarkable man.

Thus, began an adventure which has seen her work with the Kabalic Masters on the shores of Galilee, a rare experience for anyone, but particularly for a woman with the third eye. She has demonstrated mediumship in South Africa accompanied by a Soweto choir from the Shanty towns. She worked in Ireland during the troubles supporting Protestant and Catholic families all feeling the same pain in grief. There have been many other unique and memorable situations where her ability has been stretched and tested, all for the benefit of both worlds. She has worked in lots of countries throughout the world; America, Canada, Australia,New Zealand, Holland, Germany Norway, Iceland, Spain to name a few.

Throughout the years she has been fortunate enough to witness physical mediumship in a way it is unlikely to be seen again. She has seen recognisable figures build from the ectoplasm, she has received apports as well as watching them develop in these physical circles. Through the trumpet she has heard direct voice and also has experienced levitation and astral travel. A trance medium herself, she has sat with many trance mediums and helped in their development.

She was introduced to the Arthur Findlay College by Gordon Higginson in the late sixties and she became a tutor and eventually senior tutor. Her great passion is teaching whether it be the fundamentals or advanced mediumship. She provides master classes for tutors and indeed has been instrumental in helping to develop many of the younger mediums currently working in this country and abroad. She is an Officiant of the SNU and can be seen in the photograph receiving her Long Service award by the current President of the SNU David Bruton
