Lily Dale -- A Spiritualist Community

It was quite a while ago, in the mid 80s that my mother and I made the three hour drive to Lily Dale. I must admit that I was a bit hesitant and a little nervous about my scheduled reading.

We found a medium that was located near the entrance into Lily Dale and scheduled an appointment. It was about an hour reading and it costs us at that time either $10 or $20.

What has stuck with me all this time is not so much the details of the reading, but hearing that the medium read two strong auras around me; actually on either side of me. She said they were both of my grandmothers who had passed on.

To this day, I do believe in guardian angels ... my two grandmothers!

William Paul has been selling his art for over thirty years. "An Artist should be without limitations", his credo from the beginning. And it shows in his diverse selections of Acrylics, Oil Pastels, Air Brush, Chalks, Conte', Leads, Stone Sculptings, Gem and Mineral Cutting, Carvings / Relief, Carvings / Sculptings... and even his published newspaper cartoons!

Living in close proximity to Lily Dale, NY, he will often retreat there to energize in its natural unassuming beauty, and receive what he considers to be the direct inspiration of "Angels". Although, he confesses, "I am often awakened in the wee hours of the morning, with these visually resplendant images, to bring forth into the physical plane through my skills."

"Everything in life is a challenge. View it this way and it's Pan Bread, view it that way and it's Sourdough. Just make it work!" --William Paul.
