About
Terri Blair is a non-fiction writer, artist, amateur genealogist, and business owner. She has over 40 years of psychic training, including studying at the Edgar Cayce Association for Enlightenment and Research (A.R.E.), and with other accomplished teachers of psychic studies and mediumship.
The adventure that led to Psychic Ancestry: A Magical Link to the Past Using Unconventional Methods, began when Terri searched for the stories of her ancestors. Conventional research provided many birth, death, and marriage records that were supported by historical accounts of the day. Family stories and letters also held important clues. But there were still unanswered questions and mysteries, and stories going back several generations that did not add up. Suddenly Terri realized she could use her lifetime of psychic skills to try to contact her ancestors. The things she uncovered are remarkable, although some mysteries remain unsolved.
Terri has published in The Edge Magazine about past lives and tarot and is working on a new project about the spiritualist movement and other related topics. She has lived in Virginia Beach, Florida, and Arizona, and currently lives in her hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She and her partner, travel often to the American Southwest to recharge their spirits.
