| I see love in your future... | 11.04.2008 |
Several months ago I was at an event where a psychic was in attendance. I had never gone to a psychic before. My mom had, and her experience was interesting. The psychic wanted to know nothing about her. They sat with a tape recorder running and the psychic talked for 30 minutes. There was a lot of detail in that 30 minutes, given that she knew nothing of my mom.
So here I am about to go get a reading. $25 for 30 minutes, but I figured it would be worth it. She took me back to her "reading area" at the event. Seemed like it took 5 minutes just to get to the room. We sat down across from each other and she just stared at me. Then she asked me what I wanted to know.
I stumbled a bit at this. I told her I hadn't prepared questions. What do I want to know? I thought you were going to tell me stuff. She sat patiently and explained to me that she needed me to ask something. Under pressure, I reverted to the basics. How about love.
She was introspective for a minute and then asked me about my love life. Is there someone I am interested in? So I talked a bit about that. And she gave me some vague responses and told me that I was too generous. The situation is tenuous and I need to decide how long I am willing to stay in the uncertainty.
Then we moved on to business. I explained my situation to her and the venture that is looming. She offered some vague commentary on that. Indicating that I needed to find my calling. I have a creative nature and that needs to be fully explored.
Intermingled with all this were comments about "her peeps" which she meant her spiritual advisors. She indicated that they were basically standing there looking over her shoulder during our conversation. She also mentioned now and then about how I was a good person.
And that was it.
A wholly unsatisfying experience. Honestly, I spent more time talking than she did. And I left feeling more like I had been in a therapist session than a psychic one. I am not down on the whole idea of a psychic, but the one I saw I would not go to again if she paid me for my time.
Head over to the forum and tell me about your experience.
