Demand is up for psychics
Take a look at the article in the NYT today about the increased demand for psychics as a result of the recession.

Mystical chick may be getting into the business at just the right time!

1. Interesting article ...
... I love that I can bring through information that assists others but it feels contrary to my beliefs to have people NEED to rely on that.

Here's what I posted on my website (www.in2themystic.net) about it:

My thoughts? People need to know that they can trust in the guidance they get from within. What I get when I have done readings for others is some validation for people that they know the answers themselves - they just have to be nudged in a direction so they can hear and/or see it. I don’t think I’ve said anything to anyone that they didn’t actually know deep down. It’s just a bit of a nudge and some validation.

The readings I have done seem to be just a bit of that nudge. What I most enjoy is helping others to grow and learn ways to trust their own guidance and information. I don’t ever want to foster an attitude of “Only *I* have the answers and you must come before me to get them” because that is contrary to what I believe and what I’ve been taught. It’s clear to me (and hopefully to others) that we all have the ability to get guidance and to learn how to trust it. My work is to assist others in seeing that and working with it.


Thanks for bringing it to our attention, Callie!

I liked this part:

"I get a lot of Republicans wondering where their party is going.”

3. they probably all need a good exorcism
This is kind of funny

Fahrusha, a Madame Blavatsky from Manhattan, said that clients have been pressing her with highly focused queries. “They might want to know about investing in a particular security, or ask how the euro will fare against the dollar,” she said. In flusher times, they might have consulted a financial expert, she said, “but some of these people are experts themselves.”
