A few months ago, I spoke with a psyhic online. The only thing he knew about me was my internet name. I was only able to ask him one question. The question I was asking him was about my grandchild. As soon as I asked him this question. He started talking about the mother of this child. I never asked him about her or even mentioned her name. He went on to tell me some things about her that I had allready known. His accuracy was astounding. But what was funny is that he really couldn't seem to answer me about the original question I had asked him. So do any of you believe these psyhics? I don't know if I believe them, but it was fun talking to them.

Oh, and I can tell you all you need to know, too. Sure I can. Yep. Definetly. You have a grandson. And he has a mother. See?

But I have lots of reasons that I believe there are truly gifted psychics. I've had two times that a psychic particularly blew me away. Once I met a lady in a restaurant... we didn't know each other and I didn't even know she was a psychic. Out of the blue she gave me a warning to give to my little brother about an injury that a male close to him would get that would be life threatening - she said it would look like a burn but it wasn't a burn. I hadn't even told her I had a brother? Anyway, I didn't know whether to believe her but I called my mom (he was a teenager living at home) and told her to tell him about it. A few days later his best friend was bitten by a poisonous snake and the injury (rotted skin) looked just like a burn - but it wasn't a burn.
Another time I had a lady that I had just met start telling me the names of my deceased relatives. And, they're unusual names so there's almost zero chance she could have guessed them. She also told me about some things that my deceased grandmother had done years many years before... very specific unusual things that typical grandmas don't do. I didn't know if she was right or not until I called my mother a few days later and learned that it was all true.
So, yes I definitely believe some psychics are real. I've even had some very unusual parnormal experiences myself. But, overall I still think most psychics are a waste of good money.

If there are any real ones, I sure haven't found any! Called one of those 3-minute free ones and kept getting switched around. Never did talk to anybody but got a $50 phone bill, which the phone company finally took off the bill after complaints.
Then I decided to go to Casadega which is a psychic community here in northern Florida. She even made a cassette tape of my reading. Not one thing came true or was true except for the information I gave her.
Nope, I'll stick with astrology, Very Modern hits it on the head every time!

I believe in some Psyhics, but I would not ring one for advice. The phone psyhics aren't always the real deal. I did however go to a very good Psyhic some years ago and she was so spot on with everything. At the time I did not think her reading was correct but some of it took a couple of years to come true.
This lady told me to warn my husband of any injury to his thumb, she said that he would lose his thumb nail. Well he did indeed lose his thumb nail and the top of his thumb as well. She also told me we were going to live near water. Now at the time I thought she meant that we would live near the sea, and I just knew that my husband would never live near the ocean, so I thought she had it all wrong. But 2 years later we moved house and our new house is right next to a river.
There were numerous other things that she said to me that in fact came true. So I will continue to believe in this particular lady. Some people do have a very unique gift.

Hitler used psyhics and see where it got him? He sent the army off to Russia without the really good winter gear which they did have, because one told him it would be a mild winter. The weather killed more than the Russians.

Rule one about psychics: Never trust one that you have to make an appointment with.
Rule two: Don't trust the phone in kind, if they were psychic, they'd call YOU!
I believe that everyone has some psychic ability, particularly as children. We don't use our abilities and they go away as we get older. I think the real psychics are allowed to excercise and grow their psychic abilities as children, so they can be dead on accurate. But I also believe there are a lot of flakes and fakes out there.

A cousin of mine, Debbie, once went to a psyhic. They were ingaged in the "reading" if you will, and the psyhic stated to Debbie that he felt she had been there to see him in the past. Debbie said this was the first time he and she ever met for any type of reading, and that she never met him before in any other situation. The psyhic insisted that Debbie was there before. Debbie insisted that she was not. The psyhic continue on and felt that he was correct.
It turns out that Debbie had never been to see the psyhic in the past, BUT, Debbie had been in the house before. You see, it was our great grandmother's house. She had died about seven years earlier.

I am curious as to why so many different people in this and georgeviscomi's thread have consistently misspelled the word psychic as "psyhic?"

I worked for a psychic 800 line about 5 years ago while i was in college. I'm not 'psychic' but I know how to read tarot cards. The company didn't care how you told their fortune as long as you kept them on the phone, so they gave me the job (they paid us by the minute and I'm not into pressuring people to keep talking so I only lasted 2 weeks.) Callers would call and I would give them a tarot reading. (My own take on tarot is that it's strictly for entertainment, but sometimes I'm amazed at the coincidences when I read for people.) 90% of the callers were women. 10% of the callers were men. About three out of four men would ask me out by the end of the call (even if they lived in some state 2000 miles away, and even though they had never seen me.) A lot of people called while drunk. And people always asked one of the same three or four questions. The hands-down most common question was "Will my baby's father marry me?" Also I was almost shocked at how many of my callers were dating married men and wanted to know if their lovers would leave their wives and marry them. And a large percentage wanted to know when their boyfriends or husbands would get out of jail. It was a pretty sad job, depressing, and not much fun. The only good thing about it was that I could do it from home in my pajamas.

yeager, as far as 'reading' the cards, they have been around for at least a hundred years and each card out of the deck has a more or less standard interpretation. I don't claim to go into a trance or something and pick visions out of the air.
there is a pack of 72 cards (# might be off, it's been years since I had a pack). Each card has an assigned meaning, or a range of meanings. This one might stand for the entrance of a stranger in your life, that one might stand for a sudden reversal of romantic interest, a third might be for monetary change. Then there are 'spreads'---the way you lay out the cards, for instance I used a traditional layout where there were cards which stood for past, for present, for future, for forces working against the person, for things working in his favor, etc. (12 card spread). The querant (person asking for the reading) cuts and shuffles the cards and the reader lays them out in a spread. Then whichever card falls in whichever position, the reader interprets for its meaning in that position. For instance if the Fool card falls in the past position, but the present and future cards indicate stability, I would interpret that as there being some instability in the person's past but that everything is on the right track now....If the reverse was true (stability in the past, but Fool in the present and future) I would warn them that whatever big move they are contemplating may be fraught with pitfalls.....etc.
As I said, I do it (did it)for entertainment purposes only...I do NOT believe in any mystical connection with a certain layout of the cards and some specific person...that is silly....I just read what comes up randomly in the cards and let the person interpret it as they may....because it's fun to see the coincidences at times...and to see how generalized info fits so many of us in so many situations....believe it or not people have said my readings are very 'accurate'...whatever, i think it's just fun to see how close you can get through a random shuffle of the cards.

Someone please me with this one!
I'm still thinking about making a big move, an important choice in my life. I have been thinking about this for some time now. It will involve money. It will also involve changing the ways I did something in the past.
I have stopped doing this for some time now and would like to restart it. I need to restart this activity, but I'm unsure about this new way of doing things. I need to register for another auction host and post sale service. Should I do it?
Please look into the cards and direct me to the correct path to follow.
