Looking to connect with loved ones who have passed away?

Seek comfort and closure through mediumship readings with Ben Cass, a clairvoyant medium.

Who Am I and What Do I Do?

I am a clairvoyant medium, which means I receive information through images and words. I also receive physical sensations and emotional impressions from Spirit. I've been able to feel the presence of spirits since I was a teenager, but it wasn't until my 40s that I realized all the random images and thoughts in my head weren't just an active imagination, but Spirit trying to communicate with me.

I'm not the kind of medium who will sit here and try to act all mystical and spiritual. I'm just an ordinary person who happens to have an extraordinary gift, and I believe in using that gift to try to provide comfort and assistance to others.

I specialize in connecting people with loved ones, to try to provide comfort and closure and possibly get some advice. I don’t get the answers to things like “Will I get this job?” or “Will I have kids?” or “Will I fall in love” or “What will happen to me this year?”, etc, etc. I don’t do readings about health, legal matters, past lives, relationships, children, and so on. Spirit does not definitively know the future, no matter what some people claim, so they won’t answer those kinds of questions for me. They’re also not going to tell you what you should do with your life right now. They might offer some general, vague advice, but specific advice is uncommon.

I cannot guarantee to connect to a specific spirit. I open myself to Spirit to see who will come through, and I have no control over it. Unfortunately, I’m not a contacts app for the afterlife. Spirit does what Spirit wants, on their schedule and not ours. They come through when they’re able to or when they want to, not because we asked for a specific person. I bring through a surprising number of great-grandparents who just want to say "Hi!" to the grandkids they (usually) didn't meet in life.

If a loved one has recently passed, they may not come through. It can take months or even years before they’re ready to communicate that way. (And, sometimes, they're ready to go almost immediately. There's no way of knowing.) Sometimes, with a recently-passed person, the spirits who come through are the ones watching over them. If you're hoping to connect with a recently-passed loved one through me, you have to accept that it might not happen. As I said, I have zero control over who comes through. And just because somebody specific doesn't come through, you shouldn't take it personally. Sometimes they're not able to communicate. Sometimes they're busy and can't take the time to try to communicate. Sometimes they don't think you're ready for the communication.

People also often ask me about contacting their spirit guides. Unfortunately, your spirit guides don't typically show themselves to me, except on occasions when they want to introduce themselves to you. They're not here to tell you what to do with your life, so they're not going to tell me what you should do either.

As for how my readings work, Spirit will send me images, words, or physical sensations, and I then tell you what I’m seeing and experiencing. You have to work out the clues as to the identity of the spirit, as they don’t tell me who they are. Once you think you know who it is, you can tell me that you're pretty confident and I'll ask Spirit to confirm your thoughts. (You don't need to actually tell me who you think it is unless you want to. Spirit hears your thoughts without you voicing them to me.)

I have found that readings go best when you come in with the mindset of “Just wanting to see if anybody comes through” and not “I really need to hear from this person because I’m struggling right now!" I have found that the more desperate and grieving a client is, the less likely they are to have a successful reading. I don't know why that is, but it often is the case.

Please note that not all reading requests are granted. My spirit team will sometimes decline a request, without telling me why.

I live in the Eastern Time Zone, and I have a full-time career that takes a lot of time and energy, so I typically do readings in the evenings between 6 and 8 pm on weekdays, or a wider range of time on weekends. I try not to book multiple readings on the same day, as a single reading can be draining.

How much does a reading cost?

I charge $25 for a reading, paid in advance. I do not offer refunds if the reading doesn't go the way you'd hoped it would. I never know what is going to happen during a reading; some go very smoothly, while others are very difficult. Payment is done through a secure link from Square.
