Modern psychics have, like a lot of businesses, a web presence. I googled 'psychic brisbane' and found a number of services with prices ranging from $60 - $150 / hour. I read all about their 'abilities' from being able to talk to those who have passed on - err, that's psychic speak for 'dead folks' to aura reading - err, that's psychic speak for bad and blurry photographs of head shots. In the end I settled on an advertisement on Facebook for Vicki Button psychic for silly reasons, such as her website was simple and provided satisfactory information regarding services without waffling on, she's only charging $30 for a reading and in her photo she looks like the 5th member of ABBA. There's also a link to 'spooky photos' which are undeniably poxy but good for a laugh.
Vicki requested I emailed her a photo of myself and believe you me I was tempted to fool around with this one. How much fun would it have been to email this little beauty and see what sort of a future I get in response?
Or this one?
and, my personal favourite...
As fun as that would have been I'm certain Vicki would not have been impressed, so I sent her a recent self portrait. To her credit, Vicki emailed me promptly informing that she had received remuneration and would be in touch within 48 hours with my reading.
Sure enough, within 48 hours Vicki's reading reached my inbox and I discerningly devoured it both with delight and discretion.
To summarise key points, in her reading Vicki says:
- I have psychic ability. I knew she was going to say that
- I should be working in an area using my management skills and that I am a good organiser. She hasn't seen my kitchen pantry
- My true talents aren't being utilised. That explains my kitchen pantry
- Vicki sees a change in residence and that I will move twice. I am not bloody moving. I hate moving. I am going to die here. Next!
- Quote: "I feel there is something about a works programme. I feel you will be put in charge of this and I see a school so feel there could be some study ahead, or learning of something new." I do work for the Department of Education and Training... hmmm..
- Vicki says she seems me with a partner (hello, yes please!) who does similar work to me. "I feel you meet during working hours because you are in the same field or same area..." Well, that's interesting...
- Apparently I am stepping out of my comfort zone and challenge myself. I have the ability (to do what? Vague, Vicki... vague) and there is a lot of red in my aura, which is the colour of passion.
- Vicki also says: "I feel you don't feel yourself that you deserve things in your life. It's like the moment everything good is in your life, you will expect it to all turn pear shaped." And then offers some words of wisdom - seemingly straight from Rhonda Byrne's 'The Secret' - on ways to turn this around. In all honesty I'm not adverse to advice or instruction about being more positive.
I read a quote recently which said: talk to a man (woman) about himself (herself) and you'll have the most attentive and captivated audience you've ever had. People love to talk about themselves and they love to hear about themselves. A revelation dawned on my this week regarding psychics. You pay them to tell you all about your favourite subject... You. No wonder more than a few of us are willing to part with our money for a brief moment of being the centre of attention, albeit with the promise of insight into your own psyche. And hey, for a paltry $30 why not do it once??
