What is the difference between a mediumistic and a psychic reading?

A psychic reading focuses on your energy and life path. A mediumistic reading does that too, but also makes a link with the spirit world and brings through messages from loved ones who have passed.

Does an online reading work as well as an in-person reading?

Yes. The connection does not depend on physical distance. A reading by video call works just as well as sitting together in Amsterdam, and it lets people join from any country.

How should I prepare for my reading?

Find a quiet room where you will not be interrupted, have water and tissues nearby, and come with an open mind rather than a list of demands. You do not need to share information in advance.

Can you guarantee a specific person will come through?

No. A medium cannot summon a particular person on request. Communication is shaped by who steps forward, which is why an honest medium never promises a specific contact.

How long does a reading take and what does it cost?

A private reading lasts 30–45 minutes — as long as needed — and is booked by email at info@lucasilcken.com. Payment is made before the session, and you can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours in advance.

Mediumship & psychic readings

Q: What is a psychic reading?

A psychic reading reads the energy of you and your own life. It can offer insight into where you are, the patterns around you, and the possibilities ahead. It does not necessarily include contact with the spirit world.

A private reading is a personal conversation. Whether you choose a mediumistic reading to connect with someone in spirit, or a psychic reading to explore your own energy and path, the session is held with honesty, clarity and respect.

Length: 30–45 minutes — as long as needed
Where: Video call worldwide, or Amsterdam
Languages: English, Dutch
Booking: By email, payment before the session

What is a mediumistic reading?

A mediumistic reading is a communion of the soul of your loved one with yourself. I try to sense information from the spirit world — names, memories, personality traits, shared moments — and describe it so you can recognise who is coming through. The goal is not to perform, but to bring evidence, comfort and perspective.

What is a psychic reading?

A psychic reading reads the energy around you and your life. It can highlight patterns, opportunities and choices, and offer a clearer view of your potential. It is practical, grounded and focused on your own path.

The difference between mediumistic and psychic

A psychic reading works with your energy. It touches upon your past, present and potential (no future predictions). A mediumistic reading links with the spirit world to bring messages from people who have passed.

How a reading works

We meet online via video call, or in person in Amsterdam. I begin by quieting down and making the link. I then share what I sense, and you are welcome to confirm or ask questions as we go. A reading lasts 30–45 minutes — as long as needed. After booking by email you receive payment details, and you can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours in advance.
