Look into my crystal ball….

I don’t know your take on psychics, but for the longest time, I refused to go to any of them. I think, perhaps, it had something to do with believing in them too much. It’s like that superstition that is only as real as the faith you give in its truth.

So – I didn’t really like the idea of going to a psychic, until my girlfriend said that she had a psychic friend, and that we should go as a harmless girl’s day out type thing. Sound good? No. It’s not. Now – unless you’re ready to fall completely in love with an activity that you and your friends decided to do for ‘girls night out.’

I was hooked.

When I went to my first psychic, and I have to say, I was a little disappointed. Though she was on point, I had to ask her questions. In my head, I thought – there’s something I’m giving away while asking the question. Maybe I have a slight intonation in my voice when I am talking about something I want to happen and the psychic just picks up on that – and uses that as the “prediction.” Or, maybe my question itself is a clue into what it is I want her to say. Needless to say – I was skeptical after the first psychic. But I had my share of fun with the girls, a nice lunch, good conversation (mostly about the predictions).

I was amazed to see how many people were into psychics. After my first psychic reading, it was fodder for conversation at my office, at family functions, with friends, with strangers, with anyone actually. People asked me a number of questions. Most of the time there was a heavy amount of skepticism, but there was a lot of intrigue as well. Funnier even, when asked, most of these skeptical people have gone to a psychic too. It’s amazing how many people have actually gone to a psychic, and even more, how heavily the messages they give them are guarded. People actually think that telling others what a psychic told you is a little like telling someone what your wish is right after you blew out the candles on your birthday cake. Shhhh!! Don’t tell! It may not come true.

My skepticism was securely maintained, and I remained really cynical about what any psychic might say about me. Afterall, there was nothing that psychic told me that couldn’t be explained away by the way I asked the question, or what I said in my question, or the way I looked at her, or even because of the way I smelled. Oh – I have on powder fresh scent, of course she knew I went to high school in New York City!! I mean – duh.

And then – I met – Fiona. Holy cow. Fiona made me sweat up a storm. She was referred to me by a friend at work. It isn’t required that you ask questions. She simply asks you to start drawing cards and asks to hold something that was solely owned by you. As you’re drawing your cards, she starts to prattle about the mundane details of your life and offers you advice on the number one most important thing you were thinking before you got there. (We all have to admit, despite how cynical we get, there still is a sense of awe there when someone starts talking about your life, and they’re repeating it like they read it – but it’s been a while, so they’re just trying to retell it from memory, AND IN THE EXACT PRIORITY LEVEL YOU HAVE IT ON YOUR QUESTION SHEET.)

I tried to generally apply what she said to me, and I have to admit, there wasn’t any way the things she said to me could be applied generally. I had a list of questions. Boom. Boom. Boom. Answered Question 1, 2, and 3.

It was really freaky.

Another friend of mine, who also believed in these psychics, went to another one before and asked who had psychic ability- and who did not. That particular psychic said that it was a bit like a gene that passes in the family. If you have a family member who has always seemed touch, or is into this stuff, it is a pretty good bet that you’ve got that gene in you as well. But it is up to you to use that ability. If you have been able to use it before (small kids who have imaginary friends… yeah – okay…. Imaginary my butt now…) as they get older and figure out what they’re involved with, the person gets to decide if they want to continue to receive these sixth sense type images/feelings/senses. If you are in constant denial about the ability, like a muscle that is never used, it soon atrophies and is no longer useful in any real way. Same with a sixth sense. So you can decide to be aware, or you can decide to be unaware…

But it’s ultimately up to you to choose..

So, rather than just stop at a list of questions, I also brought pictures of people with me. She pauses over everyone’s face, places her fingers on the image. Often, if the person has a problem, her finger traces over the area that had posed a problem in the past. She then answers questions about the people in the picture that you might have questions on, but she did not discuss during the main portion of the reading. She usually asks for the list of questions or the pictures at the end, after she's done verbally vomiting the answers to all your deepest darkest questions/secrets.

It’s bewitching to think that your path really has a bit of predetermination. It’s like the psychic Is the GPS in my brain, basically leading me to one place, but allowing me the option of making my mistakes, and then the world joins together to get me back on tract. In GPS terms, the psychic is saying, “recalculating.” Only – you’re too focused on being lost, sometimes you don’t even listen… or hear it.

So – what am I saying about psychics? If you’re tickled by the idea, try one out. This is the psychic I went to and ultimately really liked. Keep an open mind, otherwise, don’t even bother… But, I hope you know that you still have fate over your destiny… the psychic just sees a snapshot of where you are, and presumes the path you’re going to take (very much like a GPS)… whether or not you take that path, or the unbeaten path, now that is up to you.
