Tips on How to Receive a Good Reading: Advice from a Reader and Insights into Psychics and Mediums

Hello! I'm Kat. Welcome to my blog. I'm a reader in Cassadaga, Florida. I've been a reader since oh... 2003ish. At least, that's the first time I picked up a tarot deck. I had been having experiences all my life, pretty much. Some of them beautiful and some of them spooky. Still, that's not what this blog is about.

This blog is about bringing the humanity back to the psychic, or psychic-medium and bridging an understanding between our peoples and you peoples. Honestly, I was inspired today by the fight homosexuals are going through. I was frustrated, though. Which I have been a lot lately, honestly. I was frustrated that in my eyes, most people wouldn't have a black and white painted picture of some of the struggles my peers and I go through. I would like harmony overall (most people don't really want the drama, honestly), in society, in my own life, in the world... but that's a bit idealistic. I know conflict creates insight into ourselves, but that's another blog entirely. And there's no time for that in this blog. This blog is about honesty, again. Honesty. That word, that word where so many psychics or mediums seem to hover behind this veil to me of mysticism. We have our own inside jokes, like every other little minority group. We tease, we make fun of people, we judge, we play, we go through ups and downs, we have our own set of struggles... we make mistakes. Even in readings.

What, what? A reader making a mistake? Yes, we're fallible. We're human too, and I'm ready to break down these barriers of people thinking we're know-it-all gurus. The fact is, we're not. I joke we're glorified walkie-talkies and sometimes we're on the wrong channel, but this couldn't be closer to the truth. Are there con artists who are readers out there? Yes. Are there psychics or mediums who do not have your best interest in mind? Yes. It's true, there is. But I'm here to put that out there. I can't read everyone. I do not claim to have that ability, nor have I ever. Do I say I am more successful than not? Yes. But I digress, if you as a person who has never had a reading before, or who have had bad readings, experience anything in a reading that makes you upset or uncomfortable, speak up. Ask for clarification. Ask questions on what they mean. Or, stop the reading. Ask for your money back. From me, or anyone else. You have the right to receive a reading that aids you. That's what they are for- guidance. The choice is left to you on what to do with what you receive. And if you are not receiving something that helps you, and yes, sometimes the truth is hard... don't go through with it. You'll know pretty quickly if it isn't working. It won't sit right with you.

Follow your intuition. That gut instinct. That shiver down your spine. It won't lead you wrong! Any psychic-medium worth their salt will tell you the same thing. Truthfully.

Still, if you hear something that hits close to home, and you get defensive, and you get upset because you're mad... Stop and ask yourself, “Why? Why am I taking this personally? Why am I mad? Is there really some truth to this?” There may not be. There may be. I'm not saying one way or another, but I'm saying stop. Ask. Ask yourself. And try not to be upset with the reader if they're giving you an answer you don't want to hear. If there are things you do not want to hear, maybe you shouldn't consider getting a reading. And that's okay. Yes, we can be wrong, but it's true vice versa as well. It's a two way street and it's up to both parties to form a clear bridge of communication. Do you have to give information? No. Asking questions and giving information are two different things. But something making sense to you and something not are two different things.

Don't feel guilty for asking for your money back if you're not receiving a quality reading. But respectfully, if something you felt was poppy-cock in your reading ends up being true, please pay your reader (even months later, because sometimes that's the case...) for their time. You may think we're con artists, but we gave up our nine-to-five to do this. This is our bread and butter. This is our rent. This is our time, our heart, our soul, our blood and sweat and tears. When our hearts are there, we cry with you. We hurt with you. We laugh with you. We celebrate your victories with you. Some of us left better paying jobs because this is our passion. This is our path. And this is our calling. This is our choice.




We were once accountants. Stock holders. Technicians. Bankers. Nurses. City workers. Entrepreneurs. We sacrificed a pay cut in order to be of service to you. So please return that service, I kindly ask you, if it is fair to do so. But if it is fair to you, be kind to yourself and say no, but thank you for your time. Don't force the issue. You'll only end up resenting us. And maybe, just maybe, the right psychic or medium for you was across the street or in another town. And you'll never know, because you had a bad experience and it turned you off completely.




So take it from someone who has been a reader for over a decade and been read, and keep what I've said in mind. And yes, a fair amount of skepticism is healthy. I'm skeptical of other readers too. But keep an open heart.




You might just learn something new.




Blessed Be, fellow human beings!
