Tap In: A Conversation with Psychic Medium Christina Curran

Tap In: A Conversation with Psychic Medium Christina Curran

From spirit guides to summer séances, Christina’s stories gave us goosebumps!

By: The Lace Ledger Staff

Summer has a way of calling us back into the natural world.

We trade fluorescent lights for sunsets, office walls for scenic hikes and crowded schedules for slow evenings spent beneath open skies. Somewhere along the way, our curiosity expands beyond what can be measured, leaving room for intuition and the unexplained.

It felt like the perfect season to sit down with Psychic Medium and Reiki Master Christina Curran to explore the spiritual world. Together, we discuss intuition, past-life regression, spirit guides, guardian angels and even dos and don’t for communing with those who have already crossed over.

With that in mind, we invited medium Christina to share the experiences that shaped her practice. She revisits her own spiritual evolution before unpacking the recurring themes that surface during past-life regressions. If you're feeling inspired, she also offers a gentle introduction to hosting a summer séance.

Southern Gothic: 38 Films & Series for Lovers of Beautiful Ruin

Religious fervour and oppressive summer heat shape some of the most compelling stories ever put to screen

By: The Lace Ledger Staff

There is a particular kind of story that could only emerge from the American South. The air feels impossibly heavy while the landscape seems suspended between beauty and neglect. Family histories stretch across generations, gathering secrets, scandals and old grievances along the way. Even the grandest homes appear to be in conversation with their own decline.

Southern Gothic thrives in that uneasy space; it’s a genre preoccupied with the complicated relationship between people and place. The characters who inhabit these stories are often haunted long before anything supernatural enters the frame. Sometimes the ghost is a family legacy. Sometimes it is a community unwilling to change. Sometimes it is history itself.

From literary dramas and doomed romances to psychological thrillers, crime sagas and folk horror, Southern Gothic has produced some of the most atmospheric works in film and television. These selections explore the genre in all its forms, revealing why audiences remain drawn to stories where beauty and ruin are so often found living side by side.

These are the accounts that make you pause mid-scroll because something about it calls to your dark heart.

That’s one of the many compelling things about gothic style. There isn’t only one version to follow. You move toward what holds your attention, whether that’s romantic silhouettes, dark academic interiors, corporate goth polish, pinup precision, southern gothic atmosphere, or something more vampy, spooky, witchy … the list goes on. It shifts, it overlaps, it gets refined over time and there’s room for all of it.

These creators show us the many facets of what that look likes in practice. Different approaches, different instincts, but all grounded in the same language. We come back to them for ideas and for recommendations, often sparking inspiration to be translated on the other side of the screen.

If you’re looking to evolve your style, your space, or just your feed, start here.
