Shamanic Readings
Yes, I do give readings and spiritual counseling for people, under certain circumstances. I am experienced with doing readings for and counseling folks from all manner of backgrounds, religions, and lifestyles, for just about any issue. I am especially appropriate to read for folks who have unusual spiritual practices involving the Gods and spirits, or do serious energy work, or have alternative sexual practices, because these demographics tend to have trouble finding readers and counselors who can serve them nonjudgmentally. However, even if you're just an average joe/jane, I can certainly work with you. I also do relationship readings, for any sort of relationship. But these are the rules; please read them before you contact me about a reading.
PLEASE NOTE: I don't do this for "entertainment purposes". I do this for religious purposes. If the only reason you want a reading is because you think it would be fun, you don't need my services. I don't do parties, or parlor tricks.
1) Readings take place at my home office in Hubbardston, MA. I don't travel to you, except in exceptionally special circumstances where a housecall is essential. ("I don't have a car and can't afford a train ticket" does not count as a special circumstance. "I'm bedridden with a severe and prolonged illness" might.) My home office is in a trailer near my residence: 12 Simonds Hill Rd. in Hubbardston MA. Do not ever come here without prior permission. Period. Make an appointment.
Occasionally, I go to conferences and gatherings in other states, particularly in the DC/Baltimore area. I can sometimes make arrangements to do a reading there in the evenings, if you come to the conference or at least to wherever they have me staying.
2) I don't do readings over the phone or the Internet. I am not Miss Cleo. I need your actual presence, so that I can pry open your Akashic records, as it were. I realize many other spirit-workers can do this. I can't. I am tabooed against it.
3) I have the right to refuse anyone, for any reason. It is extremely rare that I turn away someone who is genuinely looking for help, but if you are just fooling around or you are looking cause problems, I don't feel obligated to see you. Of course, if the Gods and spirits tell me that I have to help you even though you are a jerk to me, I will. That is the way it works.
4) I don't play head-games. If you have a problem, tell me honestly. I do not play around with people who want me to prove how psychic I am by guessing their issue. I don't have time for that, and it's disrespectful. Lying to me is also counterproductive, just like lying about your symptoms to a doctor is counterproductive to being effectively treated. If there is something that you don't wish to tell me, just say, "I don't feel like discussing that," and I'll decide if I can go on with the reading without that information.
5) I can't promise you'll like what I tell you. People frequently come to me in times of great personal crisis, hoping I will tell them everything is going to be okay, and wanting a quick and easy solution to all of their problems. Unfortunately, by the time someone ends up at my door their situation has often become quite difficult, and the path out frequently involves hard work, uncertainty, and change. Do not ask questions you don't want answered. That said, you may get an answer to the question that you don't ask. I apologize in advance. Sometimes these things just come out.
6) I will objectively assess the nature of your spiritual experiences. If you come to me seeking confirmation of some amazing mystical experience you had, or that you are cursed, or are engaging in astral warfare, please be aware that well over half the time I determine that these are the product of an active imagination or mental illness. (On the other hand, for more than half of the people who hope the experience was imaginary, I wind up determining it was real, even if they are also mentally ill.) If I agree with you about the nature of your spiritual experience, it is because I have done some manner of reliable assessment and come to the same conclusion, not because I am trying to be supportive or empowering. Most people find this reassuring. I have no emotional interest in either confirming or denying the reality of your experience. I just call it like I see it.
7) I do not provide specific services on demand. I'll offer to provide specific services if I determine they are the most appropriate course of action, not just because you want them. If you have your heart set on getting a past-life regression, a soul-retrieval, blood-walking, or some other specific technique, feel free to let me know, but it isn't as if you can just pick one off the menu.
8) I'm here to solve problems, not provide talk therapy. While I try to be as supportive as I can of your situation, the intent of the reading is to determine the best course of action for your problem, not to make you feel better about it. I will attempt to either help you via some spiritual or shamanic means, or determine the most effective way for you to help yourself (or both). If you are not at a point where you are willing to do what is needed to fix a difficult situation, coming for a reading is a waste of both of our time.
9) Readings are generally scheduled for weekday evenings, some time between 3pm and 10pm. They tend to last between one and two hours, but may be longer or shorter depending on your situation.
10) Drop me an email the morning of the reading to confirm your appointment. Similarly, drop me an email if you cannot make it. We can always reschedule.
