Readings Went Well

Monday, November 14th, 2005

Just got back from doing the readings. They seemed to go well and I told them things that I possibly couldn’t have known. The “oh my God’s” were many. lol The most important thing to me though is that people get what they need to move forward in their life. And I guess the higher spirit wants me to “wow” them so that I sound credible when I tell them things they didn’t know but “need” to know.

Next appointment up tomorrow night — I look forward to it though I hope I’m still nervous. Nervousness, I think, is a good thing! Cockiness usually means “trouble”.

Thank YOU for blessing me with the gift to tell people what they need to know.

Before doing Readings…

Monday, November 14th, 2005

I often feel “nervous” before doing readings. Will I perform? Will they get what they need? In fact, I’m nervous not becuase I don’t think I will do well but there are so many pre-conceived notions of what a reader does and doesn’t do that it can be difficult. But I know that I a give a service that is helpful and what the person needs to hear because that’s how it works.

Anyway, just thought I might note that nervousness happens to the best of us and thankfully 9 times out of 10 everything goes well! 🙂 Of course, I worry about that 1 — blame it on my Capricorn rising or Virgo moon! lol

How much should I expect to pay for a Tarot or Psychic reading?

Monday, November 14th, 2005

Expect to pay between $40 and $200 Canadian for an hour, unless you go to a “celebrity”. In that case you can pay up to $1000 for a reading and they usually only do 1/2 hour readings. People will also often “tip” a reader for extra fine service though unlike wait staff this is “not” expected and really is a “thank you bonus”.

Celebrity readers are people who have media attention and have been written in books. Are they more accurate than the $40-$200 people? I really don’t think so. They are just good at marketing and getting themselves out there.

It’s a basic business principle of supply and demand. You supply the goods when people think/see you are in demand. haha Actualy it’s you can earn and sell more when you are in demand. But I like the first analogy! Chicken or the egg: Which can first? I say demand is *created* through the *appearance* of demand.
