Anyone who is interested in psychic phenomena has no doubt been faced with the daunting task of choosing a “real” psychic. If you’re getting your first reading, choosing a reader who just bought a pack of tarot cards a few months earlier and is trying to make an easy living seems about as likely as choosing someone with real talent. How do we discern and discriminate between the two groups to ensure we get a reading we’re happy with? Very simple! Do some research, and not necessarily on the psychic himself, but on the phenomena as a whole, to make sure that he is an informed consumer. Read on as we take a closer look.
I know people aren’t going to be happy to hear this, but I would WAY rather see a psychic who doesn’t use tarot cards than one who does. I’d rather see you NOT provide information when making the appointment, or even better, just coming by if possible. I’d rather you understood the process of cold reading, fishing, and asking leading questions, as there are all sorts of easy psychological and body language clues that can ensure that even a novice can “read your mind” simply by verbally guiding you where you want to go. I wanna go. Knowledge IS power, and simply arming yourself with information that a less skilled, or even unscrupulous, psychic reader can use will go a long way toward ensuring that the one you choose doesn’t. And lastly, remember not to be shy!
Most types of fortune tellers fully understand human nature and know that their fear or confrontation, contradicting the information they are receiving, may be stronger than clarifying the reading. Don’t fall victim to this as it is the most powerful weapon any poor reader will use to take your money, stay in business and give REAL readers everywhere a bad name. There ARE gifted psychics, mediums, and people with extraordinary abilities everywhere… you just need to know how to find them. Follow the simple tips above and you’ll be one step closer to getting one, I guarantee it!
