Different Methods Of Psychic Readings

By Stacey Burt


When it comes to finding out about past, present and future, people often go to psychics, or local palm or tarot readers. Although, there are also other ways in which a psychic can provide psychic readings. One is through the use of manufactured or custom made runes, another tea leaves, and the often forgotten I-ching.

After locating an establishment, draw up a written agreement between the owner(s)/operator(s) of the establishment and festival or faire organizers. Generally, if an individual works on private property, one can be exempt from the high cost of booth and festival fees, especially if all one needs to provide the service is a window sill, or can do so inside the venue.

Individuals doing so have been known to become regulars who work hours outside fairs and festivals, often at the request of the venue. One reader in Texas often had a line around the corner on Saturday nights, thanks to referrals from the restaurant who provided a space for the psychic to set up shop.

When it comes to the New Orleans French Quarter, and Austin's 6th Street's entertainment district, those working are most likely truly psychic. A good test as to whether or not a reader is truly gifted, is if one has return clientele. And, as there have been those working out of offices arrested for fraudulent activity, using some type of test, or obtaining references from past clients can often be a good idea.

The other items any psychic may want to have on hand, both for decoration and use are a crystal ball, incense, a candle (if allowed, otherwise a flashlight that resembles a candle from a distance will work nicely, ) especially when working at night. And, above all else, a bottle of water and enough food and other drinks for the duration of the event.

When it comes to deciding which deck(s) or tool(s) to use for a reading, it is important that the reader have a connection with the imagery and meaning of the cards. For example, someone providing readings at a Pagan or Wiccan festival may want to use a deck like the "Goddess Oracle, " by Hrano Janto, while Buddhists may want to use the "Buddha Tarot, " which came out a few years ago.

Also, when providing services to private parties, or other special events, it is good to work directly with the organizers. In dong so, the organizer can help set up a space, and provide any information on specific requests as far as which psychic tools, and type readings are preferred. Organizers can at times request tarot readers use traditional playing cards which is often the case when an event is being sponsored by a church, or other spiritual organization.

Without a positive attitude, a smile that is sincere, a strong sense of intuition and psychic ability, a reader isn't going to be around for long. In fact, most venues which allow individuals to read cards, sell jewelry or perform music often have strict guidelines. Guidelines, that if people can not adhere to and follow, often lose the space, which is then granted to another vendor.
