One of the survival jobs I have had over the years is I am a palm/tarot card reader. Most recently, I scored a gig where I read for a few hours a few days a week. For the most part it's pretty chill and I like most of the people I read for. Actually, it has been an honor to read for several who just inspire me to continue to follow my dreams even in slow season because they ask me about the future of theirs. It has also been a reward to help people remember they deserve love and happiness. But then we get people who probably need more help than I am qualified to give.
Enter Virginia. This woman, who apparently has been to every psychic in the store, wanted a reading with me because we had never met. A life coach with her own business, Virginia has blood red hair, probably dyed from the blood of an ex or her cat that she killed.
Virginia: Ask the cards, what is the future of my business? It's been slow. Will things turn around?
I turn the cards. It is a bunch of cups, swords, and death.
Me: These aren't great cards, but it means things could still turn around if you have a new strategy like a marketing plan and also budget/save your money. That way you have resources for a rainy day.
Virginia: When will money come in?
Me: The cards don't give dates or times but soon. Summer is going to be over, people will come back from vacation. The cards are telling you to make a business plan. There is a lesson in all of this.
Virginia: I can ask my Sugar Daddy for the money. Will Ike my Sugar Daddy give me the money? We are in a sub/dom relationship. He says he is getting sick of bailing me out financially.
I turn the cards again. Cups are in the middle which according to the cards means yes. Outcome isn't so great but hey.
Me: It shows your sugar daddy will give you the money, but you mentioned him before and he seems like a jerk honestly. Why not look into a marketing plan because this seems to be a pattern. I'm not just saying it but the cards are too.
Virginia: I don't have time for that. I need a solution now. You know what I can do. I can do magic, that's what I can do.
Me: I don't think you need to do magic. I think you need to wait the slow season out and relax. The cards are telling you that and so am I. See, no magic necessary.
Virginia: I have done magic before and it has worked.
I nod unsure of what to say/do.
Virginia: You don't believe me? Well I can do magic! Trust me, I can do magic and it has worked many times. Lady, I can do magic. I can do magic so good I am better than David Copperfield.
I nod still unsure of what to say or do.
Virginia: I can do magic. And if you don't believe me ask the cards. They know my magic works. Cards, should I do magic?
I ask the cards. We get a bunch of swords which aren't good news. The cards agree with me. This idea is cat shit crazy.
Virginia: Oh I know the cards and these aren't good. Ask them again if my magic will work. Hey, you haven't seen anything until you have seen me do magic.
I flip the cards. Note, in old Gypsy tradition it is said if you ask the cards the same question twice they get mad.
Cards: Did we stutta mutherfucka? And who would go to life coaching from you. Bitch, you cray cray.
Me: The cards are saying you can do magic and they apologize for doubting you. I also apologize for doubting you too.
My buzzer goes off.
Me: Your time is up. Pay out front.
Virginia: Oh I can do more time.
Me: Great.
Cards: NOOOOOOO!!!!! Haven't we suffered enough.
