EP: 112 The Making of a Medium: 24-Year-Old Lucas Ilcken from Amsterdam on Childhood Sensitivity and Spirit Communication

Maria Goncalves Podcast - Mediumship, Intuition, Tarot

In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, Maria sits down with Lucas Ilcken, a gifted 24-year-old medium from Amsterdam whose journey began in childhood under the guidance of his mother. Lucas shares how growing up spiritually aware shaped his life, the challenges of being sensitive in a modern world, and how his studies at Arthur Findlay College reignited his connection with Spirit.
Together, Maria and Lucas dive deep into topics like:
✨ Developing mediumship from a young age
✨ Balancing sensitivity with everyday life
✨ The importance of self-development in spiritual work
✨ Ethics and responsibility as a psychic medium
✨ Letting Spirit tell their story — not just ticking evidence boxes
✨ Why every path, from plumber to medium, holds equal value
✨ Overcoming fear of “getting a no” and trusting Spirit
Lucas also shares his experiences with the Spiritualists’ National Union (SNU) and offers practical advice for beginners—how to find the right development circles, build confidence, and stay grounded on the journey of mediumship.
