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.

How I do private consultations: Tarot card readings, Oracles, Psychic Impressions, etc..

Less than 10% of the reading is predicting and in fact, many readings have NO predictions.

I build a connection, read birthdates, lay cards, oracles, and other tools (in the order that is most natural at the time) to gain a better understanding of what a client and their situation is all about and then I may or may not go into predictions (or rather possible outcomes).

At that point, if the client doesn’t like what they hear, I’ll suggest actions they might want to try but ultimately it’s the clients choice and responsibility and even predictions (that the client doesn’t want to hear) are just possible outcomes.

What do you get out of this type of reading? Insight, Guidance, Advice, Choice, and Responsibility.

Psychics & Tarot Readers: Do You Know What You Seek? Magic Eight Ball?

Monday, November 14th, 2005

Is it always good to get what you ask for?

I received a request to do a reading but the focus question was how accurate I was. My red flag went up then and there; however, I still offered an answer. When I didn’t hear back from them, I pressed on to see what their thoughts were about what I said (i.e. just said in regards to my accuracy “good question” and then pointed to my testimonials. btw, their request/question is not unusual (it’s often frequent).

The underlying message was that they could only find money hungry psychics, didn’t want advice because they were strong enough to make their own decisions, only wanted a yes/no response, and wanted complete accuracy (or close enough to it).

My reply

I appreciate your response.
I’m not money hungry but be sure that your request will draw money hungry people. First of all, any reader that tells you they are 100% (which is what you are looking for) is full of it. Freewill (yours and others) can change the future. We are also neither God or miracle workers. We are below the veil.

Secondly getting advice or information from others doesn’t make you any less strong. In fact, people who receive help from other’s are the strongest of mind, body, and spirit. A reader like myself does NOT make decisions for their clients — that’s against my code. We tell our clients what we see and let them make their decisions as they have the strength to do so. We offer information so decisions can be made with clarity.

Getting ethical and good readers to be a Magic Eight Ball for you is highly unlikely. If a psychic could predict the future 100% they would be rich and wouldn’t be doing what they are doing — guaranteed! 🙂 It’s just not how it works but if you say it does, so be it. Consider that if you have run into so many “bad” readers, it might be time to make a drastic shift in thinking. And a rhetorical question [for you]: Are you money hungry? We often attract who and what we are.

Also, if I were you I would be seeking someone who has precognitive abilities (premonitions), not just psychic (clairvoyant or clairsentient for example) because they see into the future. These people are “very” hard to find because they usually work for government and corporate agencies and rarely dabble in earthly material matters for individuals. [Also it’s not always “on” and may not come “one” even if we ask or do things to make that happen. Seeing a psychic isn’t like buying a good meal at a restaurant.] Other than that, all predictions are possible outcomes based on present events.

I hope this helps. Best wishes on your search. Namaste.

So, is it always good to get what you ask for? I think not. Sometimes it’s better not to “push” an issue or take a 180 or 360 degree approach when things aren’t working. There really does need to be a “drastic” shift in thinking, doing, feelings, and/or behaviours for something to start working and the way it works is not the way you originally had in mind — but it works! 😉
