Yesterday's "New York Times" alerted me to the existence of a website and online support network for people addicted to psychics and their alluring, expensive forecasts. Founded by Sarah Lassez, an actress who was, at her worst, spending $1000 a month on psychic consulations, PsychicJunkie.net is filled with advice for the many who just can't "wait and see." They gotta know, if you know what I mean.
Lassez has also written a book that sounds fun--it's called "Psychic Junkie: A Memoir." Aiding others has bolstered her own recovery.
I never had a psychic habit, but I did enjoy a productive visit with a professional oracle after a hiatus from my dating relationship with Mr. Chattering many years ago, when he was far too youthful for serious commitment. If you must know, he was 23 when I met him. And I was a worldly 31. Oh! Oh! Readers, this was painful! I was rolling the I Ching like crazy! Finally I got a roll that said something like "Cautious, watchful, waiting will render a family." And the psychic I ran to agreed: she said Chattering was a stellar, thoughtful person hurrying to get ready for me, but that he needed more time. True enough, it was five more years before we pulled up to the altar, relieved, happy, and completely exhausted.

I have always been interested in the mysterious and psychic phenomena. I also read the Tarot cards professionally for about three years. It was absolutely fascinating and exhausting. I quit and stopped completely because I needed a break, and only once in awhile do I pick them up and take a peek. It is for spiritual guidance only, not if I am going to get the job or about my love life, etc. I cautioned my clients not to use the cards or any other type of modality to "know" what will happen. I came to believe myself that it is more important to trust one's own instincts and whatever Higher Power he or she may believe in, or not for that matter. Just let it be, but use the cards to understand what was happening at the moment in his or her own mind and heart. Boy, am I long-winded, must be the two cups of coffee! Thanks for listening and God bless.>
Sounds a bit like astrology which I feel is far more accurate about a persons characteristics/what they are like than it is about predicting their future>
Have any of the readings been true..or do you think most or all of them are wrong...wrong..wrong....>
I always felt like many were right....but guess I will really never know....>
