Ever been to a Psychic? For fun or a Need?

I had a friend who was very much into tarot readings, psychics etc. She asked me to go with her for a tarot card reading one day as she wanted me to 'take notes' in case she forgot anything she was told. I never went with her again, although she did try to get me to see how accurate the cards were. Well, one or two things were accurate, as the tarot card reader knew my friend and knew lots about her family, ... but as for the rest.. accurate my backside!

My friend was desperate for a granddaughter and when she found out she was going to be a grandmother off she went to get her cards read and asked if the baby would be a girl. The response was something along the lines of 'it looks like it will be'.... she became the grandmother of a boy. Then when my husband was undergoing chemotherapy she had another card reading and told me that the cards said he was going to be okay. Wrong!! That tested our friendship a little and she never mentioned tarot card readings to me again.

The times I went with my Mom it seemed the "Tarot" readers prompted her much more than a "Medium" did and that would make me watch more closely but then Mom began volunteering info on her own from her thrill the Medium seemed onto something. I wished Mom had jest let the Medium keep going on their own and not throw confirmation in for them. All the ones she saw, there was one, just one that makes me wonder if he was the real deal.
 
I've seen two that were the real deal. One was just a few weeks before I was involved in a car accident. She told me, after the usual kind of stuff they say, basically a warning about being alert when driving and other things, don't recall exactly. Went to the same place later, nothing special that time.

The first one I saw was a therapist who was a "new ager", at that time I was also. She offered to give an advanced reading for a fee, She and a "friend" who do readings together did a reading (I was not present) but the information she gave me from that reading was Very Accurate! I didn't really put much into it, but She foretold me things for many years after.

She foretold me having a big health issue in my 40s (Stroke) but wouldn't name it. I asked "heart attack", or "cancer", both of which she said no to. Those ailments have happened in my family, so I was weary of them. All the events she told me happened, except for a later one that I made sure didn't happen (ex getting custody of my kiddo).

She said these things were all variable, according to the choices I made.

I asked her about love, she said you're about to enter a relationship that is going to bring you all kinds of problems (she told me what ones), "this woman you should avoid". I didn't, unfortunately. She said I already knew this woman, I worked with her but never imagined getting married to her or anything, really. I almost wonder if these women did a ritual or something, the reading was way too real. Was in my later 20s at the time. Wish I'd put more stock into it.

I know there are cases where predictions/warnings are very accurate. I had one myself, so much so I burst out in tears but I will tell that later> I wanted to hear from who ever wanted to share first. And all I said to this man was , My Grandmother, who has passed is constantly on my mind. And he took it from there into things I wouldn't have imagined.
 
The only time i paid for a reading was when the booth fee and part of vendors' take went towards a charity. I frustrated her by not being 'chatty' giving clues, and it was not accurate.

However, when i belonged to a Silva Method (they taught a meditation technique) Graduates' group that met weekly we frequently had psychometry circle, (doing readings by holding an object belonging to or 'charged' by the subject) and those readings were very accurate (both what i got and gave). Tho sometimes not confirmed till a future meeting. If you couldn't relate to part or all of a reading you just said that it had 'no relevance at this time'.

Then some of us decided to test things by using pennies with numbers taped to them. The readings got ever more precise. The pennies were left in sunlight to 'clean' them between meetings. Each of us would 'charge' a penny by focusing on one concern we had, then place it with number down in center of circle.
Each of us would pick up a different penny and do a reading, not revealing the number on the penny till done. Then the person who had charged it would rate relevance of it, we generally did the readings eyes closed not just to focus but in case whoever charged it couldn't keep their reaction from showing on their face.

These were even more specifically accurate, which gave us the idea of charging the pennies with a single question about our concern. I transcribed most of those experiments. When we got to that point the readings, especially when long time frequent meditators doing them, became so specific that it creeped out some of the newbies.

I remember having a pages of notes that could be read from bottom to top and just look like people were being deposed cause then the question the would come first and the answer was clear.

I've posted about this and other psychic phenomena on various 'paranormal' threads. I'm of the opinion these things are normal and natural, science just hasn't figured out to explain them.

I wouldn't go. I already know my past and present and do not want to know what lies ahead.

Know what you mean, I didn't sit with him to know past, present or future, it was that I could not get my Grandmother out of my mind, anything I did, she popped up. It wasn't any predictions that he gave me, it was something else, I will post it later.

I will stay aware of what you post later about your own experience, but your OP ended with the question, "how bout you?" so I answered the question from my perspective.
 
Alrighty, my wordy self will share since my chores are all caught up now. :LOL:
I noticed one day my deceased Grandmother was on my mind no matter what I did, days and days. I was washing dishes and for some reason I left 2 glasses to wash last, as I am washing them I mentally heard my Grandma in my head say " Sharon, you know I taught you better than that!" In other words always wash drinking vessels first before grease is in the water.
In my head I answered her "You are right, I have no idea why I did that". That was when I said enough, I need to understand why I am doing this.
I remembered the name of the psychic that impressed me with my Mom, so I made an appointment to see him. I sat down and he said, you have someone with you, I had not told him yet why I made the appointment. I asked him who and he described my grandma to a tee. Small lady, darker skinned than I am, very teeny, big smile, He asked if I knew anyone like that. I only knew ONE, my grandma.
I told him yes, and who. He then says "She has been trying to contact you but not for herself, she has someone else with her, who you have been brushing aside in your thoughts, I can see him, it's a male, medium height, weight is portioned, slightly balding and dare I say a prominent nose. He is family but not family if that makes sense"
That's when tears burst out, I knew right off because she dearly loved him, I could only nod. Please remember I have not been talking, only he to me.
He closed his eyes and asked... "Do you have children with this man, is this a husband?" OK I am sobbing by then, nodding.
He says, "let me see if I can understand what he wants you to know" I don't know how long he sat there eyes closed before he says
"You have 2 sons together, one he says is solid as a rock the other he says is sort of .... out there at times, if that makes sense to you?"
It sure did and I started laughing, I nodded again" He continues, "He is telling me that he wants the son who just had a child that he is proud of him and know that he was there for the birth"
My son became a daddy just 3 months prior.
When his dad became very ill, he was so angry at the world for losing his dad and to see him wither from a healthy vital 47 year old man to the skeleton figure that he became. He had a very hard time with his dad's death. So I knew he withdrew from any talk about his dad all this time, so yes he probably would block any thought of his dad out of his memory.
Mr Greene then added "He says , please tell him I love him and am very proud of the man he has become"
Mr Greene was a medium not a tarot reader, not an aura reader.
After that meeting Grandma and Carl enter my thoughts here and there, as it should be. I am not consumed with them any more.
I have not since seen any other psychic nor thought about going to any.
The opportunity was there when I needed it, it helped me and you should have seen my sons when I told them.. that son having the hard time... cried for the 1st time since his dad died and now speaks and brings up memories, he has even been to his dad's grave a few times to have chats when he needs to.
I don't believe in all psychics or even all readings. I know I was lucky to have seen this man and how his name stuck in my head.
I only believe in one psychic and I hope you can see why... he did not prompt me for details and knew so much.
 
Last night it occurred to me that as long as my post was above that some may wonder... how can she recall that whole session in detail.
Mr Greene would cassette record his sessions and keep a copy for himself and give his client one. So I listened to it several times afterward.
So I knew the scenario pretty well and didn't even cover all of it.
My youngest son before I moved from Virginia asked if I could will it to him when the time came. I gave it to him then. Had to add this just in case some were wondering.
 
I've seen 2 or 3...neither one very accurate or worth mentioning..lol.
This one lady did tell me I needed to drink more water. Which was true. Come to find out , she also worked in the medical field ...so she had probably sneaked a look at my Labs.

Why do they call them "Spiritual/Psychic Mediums?" Because their guesses are medium on average.

However, it's my opinion that humans perceive only a narrow slice of reality — both in terms of physical senses and cognitive capacity. Whether we approach this from a spiritual, scientific, or philosophical angle, it’s very possible there are realms or dimensions we can’t normally encounter.
