Occult careers

[Pangi]

What are your opinions on people who want/do the occult as a career

Exorcists, astrologers, soothsayers etc etc

You think it's practical and possible, a pipe dream or something inbetween

 

[Robert Ramsay]

Read Tarot cards for people. Astrologers seem to do ok. Almost everything else is going to tempt you to cheat in order to get the kind of reliability that people expect when they pay good money for something.

It reminds me of my old friends, Baron and Baronessa Araignee. They sell occult services and also overpriced books, I would say they are doing pretty well for themselves, but if you want to do that, you need to add a little extra umph there. Some blood, some dirt from the grave, it's part of the show.

I would just avoid fortune-telling if I were you. People usually don't go to fortune tellers when everything is fine; you will hear a lot of fucked up stories.

I used to offer my service, and it took off immediately. It was like a hot cake because no one else was offering anything like it. A simple Google search made that obvious, and once people realized its uniqueness, word of mouth spread very quickly. If you are serious and consistent with it, this kind of work can become a full time job.

In Thailand, fortune telling is a pretty major industry with a big presence in mainstream media, to the point where it's involved in politics. I've heard visiting a fortune teller is more common than visiting a therapist.
