The Dark Side of Lightwork
by Wynne Thornley
In life, I am a Canadian Esoteric Teacher and Channel to the Aether. I am also a supernatural nerd. My interest with the unknown began when I was a kid, due to having my own misunderstood psychic experiences. My life long study of the strange and unusual has prepared me for the work I am called to do now; taking me places other lightworkers won’t go. This has taught me about how many fallacies the masses believe about the paranormal. I am here to take the Hollywood out of the world of the supernatural.
