The Loneliness Epidemic - Tarot Readers Often Become the Only Confidant in Adults' Lives

"An epidemic of loneliness is plaguing Americans, jeopardizing well-being, health and sense of belonging." - BBC, May 2, 2023 

There was a time clients came to me, a Tarot card reader, with a specific problem. They briefly described the situation, then listened when I provided insight and made recommendations. Now and then they would ask some questions. But, essentially I did the talking.

That was then.

In the past year the usual Tarot session more often than not has evolved into the opportunity for a human being to confide. They take over the Tarot reading with their talking. Initially I tried to stop that. After all, they are paying for me to provde a reading. Then I got it: These human beings need to talk. I have to assume they have no one else in their lives to confide in. I allow them to talk. Within about 10 mintues it is obvious to me that they have gotten some relief. There is less tension in their voice. They don't talk as rapidly. At that point I can shift into a traditionalTarot reading. 

Yes, America is a land of loneliness. This has inceased with versions of COVID, working remotely, and when back in the office where there is tremendous anxiety about employment security. 

What do I suggest to clients? 

Step Number-One: Join something, anything. It could be a religious or spiritual organization. A 12-step program such as Codependents Anonymous. A business trade association. A gym. Outdoors groups. 

Step Two (not necessarily in this order): Learn to listen. Instead of blurting out one's story (especially that of trauma) ask questions that encourage others to speak. A good listener is welcomed into any circle.

Step Three: Get out your head. No one is going there to begin a relationship with you. An exit ramp is volunteer work such as walking dogs at the shelter or driving the aging to medical appointments.

Step Four: Stay home less. You become part of society. Instead of having groceries delivered, go shop for them.

Painful Long Half-Life of Trauma: Did Prince William Marry His Mother?

Image
  It was September 6, 1997. A number of psychics such as myself entered a grief trance. We became one with the trauma of Princes William and Harry as they walked behind the coffin of their mother Diana. The pain, I keep picking up, likely hasn’t abated in substantive ways. (Currently, it is agreed, placing them in that forever visual of their personal histories was thoughtless and cruel.) Here we are. It is said that boys marry their mother and Harry seemed to do exactly that in choosing Meghan Markle. Like Diana, she was never going to fit in. There was going to be lots of hurt to go around.  The surprise, though, is that the supposedly less fragile William might also have married his mother in choosing Kate Middleton. We don’t know that, do we? But there is reason to speculate that’s might have been exactly what occurred. Amid the conspiracy theories circling about MIA Middleton (There has been a recent photo op of her mother driving her in car), is this one in the 03-...

The Elite Psychics - Cassanda Vanzant Provides Solution for Getting Clarity, Finally

Image
  Ever since The New York Times saluted the Tarot in April 2021as a tool for self-awareness and introspection, there has been massive interest in psychic readings. More recently the media designated psychics as the new therapists. However, that left those seeking guidance in a pickle. The issue is: How to select a psychic who is 1) authentic 2) caring and 3) will provide the results you need.  Long-time psychic Cassandra Vanzant observed that confusion. Her Ah-Ha moment was to develop a fresh approach to the "delivery" of the psychic connection. That is The Elite Psychics.  Excited about this breakthrough development in psychic services, I requested an exclusive interview with Vanzant.  *************************************************** THE ELITE PSYCHICS Q: With all the internet psychic sites to choose from, what makes your site, The Elite Psychics, different? A: I’ve worked for quite a few of these psychic online companies. Most prefer quantity over quality. ...

J. Michael Cline's Pain

Image
"Fandango founder [J. Michael Cline] left heartbreaking suicide note before jumping from NYC luxury hotel: ‘I can’t explain the pain’" -  New York Post , July 18, 2024  Cline, a very successful serial entrepreneur, was not alone in being unable to articulate his pain. So many suffering human beings decide to have a Tarot reading because they are unable to tell even themselves 1) What hurts and 2) How overwhelming that pain is. Our society demands that its members always be in complete control. That's the face you have to present to the world. The Tarot reader and the client work together to bring the distress to the surface. The New York Times explained how the Tarot is a tool for awareness.  Sometimes the pain is rooted in the unreal, such as the ruminations of the clinically depressed. They experience themselves as failures, on every level.  It could be temporary. There are those setbacks such the loss of the job.  Or it could be long-term as with chronic hea...
