What to Expect for Your First Psychic Reading - by Ann George - Psychic

Image
Notes on what is possible and appropriate when consulting a psychic. People coming for their first psychic reading may not have any idea what to expect.  The scenarios provided by movies and television are very far removed from the reality of a consultation with an experienced psychic.  At my studio the emphasis is on your well being. When you are coming for a reading this is your time to get your needs met. My goal is to provide honest, accurate answers to your questions to the best of my ability. I will give you my full attention and help you feel at ease by answering any questions you have about the reading process.  A good psychic reading should provide you clarity, insight and direction. You  may also feel validated, affirmed and empowered. You may find the energy of the reading process is very comfortable . With each clear answer you might be both exhilarated and relaxed.  I have published a list of frequently asked questions for y...

Psychics • Scams & Candle Magic: A New Twist on an Old Confidence Scheme.

Image
I have had a remarkable increase in calls from worried or frightened people who have been victimized by con artists posing as psychics. Many of my callers   (men and women from all walks of life and every age) have spent a good deal of money before they realize they are being “conned” or “played”. It is very important to remember that we are blessed to have gifted people in this world who are able to see the past, present and future. Quantum physics, multiverse theories, advanced math and studies on time constantly prove the mystic nature of life.  There is no shame in believing in the mystic, magic or paranormal events of any kind. We do live in a magical universe. We always have. As well, many of us “have a feeling” that something is going to happen - and then - it does.  Anyone with an open spiritual world view who is approached (now by email or phone!!) by a scam artist working the psychic con might listen a minute to see or hear what the con artist ...

How Do I Develop My Psychic Abilities?

* a response to a frequent question by Professional Tarot Consultant Ann George  It is my experience that this question is most often posed by two very different kinds of seekers, both since re in their concerns, and both asking an important, perhaps life changing question. To begin - I feel it is important to place the question in the context of the ideas of this century. After all, horror films, and fantasy series are popular, and captivating. There is no shortage of programs about the occult, mysterious creatures, portals in time and such. Most modern media has portrayed psychics, seers and mediums in strange lights at best. One of the most tragic and sadly the most often true depictions is that of “psychic” who is instead a con artist, trickster, fraud or predator who poses as a psychic reader. I answer phone calls regularly from people who have encounter these trickster readers. These tricksters are often very gifted, either at “cold reading” and following t...

An Open Letter to A Seeker About Hexes & Curses

Image
I am always sorry to have to write letters like this one, but I post a public reply to a seeker who wrote asking for help. I have also provided support and reassurance to other clients who come to me after encountering con artists who prey on the trust of others.  Here is the letter:  Dear Ann, I took an opportunity to write to you hoping that you can help me. For the past 10 years, it feels to me like wherever I go or whatever I do I go one step forward and three steps back. For the last few years, problems seem to be showering on me. Relationships do not start or work, jobs lost for, what seems, no particular reason, housing situation volatile, etc. Over the years, I consulted few tarot readers and psychics and they did not tell me that I was hexed or cursed.  But I also consulted a witch of some kind few times. Each time I saw her, she would tell  me that I am either cursed or hexed. She would ask for my photographs to remove the curses ...

Psychic readings, black auras, demons working against you & when to walk away.

I recently received an email from a woman who wrote to ask my opinion of her encounter with a "psychic reader." Here is her letter: "I have recently gone to see a psychic and was told I had a dark purple almost black aura. They told me they would help cleanse me.  I went back for part of my cleanse and she told me she was looking to see where this negative energy is originating from. On my third visit, I was told I have demons working against me.  I really would like a second opinion on this because for them to help me it is going to cost $3,500 and thats a lot, so i really want to see if there really are demons. If i could schedule a reading that would be great. Hope to hear from you soon." Here is my reply: "Please, d o not believe the "psychic" who has told you all these horrible things. The pattern you are reporting is a traditional scam that is used by unethical "psychics". Please do not give them any more money! There will alway...

Psychic Scamming Continues in Jacksonville, Florida.

As a professional clairvoyant consultant here in Jacksonville, Florida, I am very sad to report that I have had one call and one e-mail in the past week that I find very discouraging, but not surprising, and not unusual. Please note that I am Ann George, I always use both names professionally, and have been in service to the public since 1996. I have published extensively on my website , blogs, and have podcasts available at no charge to help people have a better understanding of the mystic and metaphysical importances and benefits of consulting a "seer" as we were once called. I do not endorse any abusive practices, I do not charge for anything more that the time you spend with me, and have really tried to encourage people to understand that a good reading is a co-created experience. Both the seeker and the reader need to work together to find the answers to questions. Here is an excerpt from the e-mail, which I have modified to for the privacy of the sender: "...

Tarot - Questions, Answers and World Views

When you come for a reading with me, it is important to know that I read from the Active tense.. or from the "Co-created Universe" perspective rather than the Passive tense, or the "Fated Universe" perspective. I feel it is important to address this issue now as more clients are asking me to tell answer questions such as: "Does he/she love me?",  "What does my new boss think of me?" "What is my daughter thinking right now?" "What will he/she do next?" "Will he/she ever call me again?" While I understand that you may want to know where you stand in your love relationship, and I am happy to answer that question, it has proven best over time for you to ask to see the outcome of continuing your relationship with that person.  The hardest thing  to read is the mind of another person in a particular moment.  A mind can be as changeable as air, and like a breeze blow softly, not at all, fiercely... all in a matter of mo...

Important update - new site using my name is not endorsed nor affiliated with Ann George Studios, Inc.

It came to my attention today that there is a new web site on line. Interestingly the domain name of this site uses my web site name as their url. Ann George Studios, Inc. home page carries the description: "Psychic -Ann George - Clairvoyant." .. and all these adjectives apply to me, and the kind of work I do. The new site is using: pyschicanngeorgeclairvoyantinfo as their domain name. I suppose I should flattered in some way? After providing service to clients on line since 2000, my website has earned a good search engine placement. That someone should try to take advantage of the placement by using my name to draw traffic to their site seems less than straight forward. Of course, I wish all honorable merchants the best of luck! I do want to make it perfectly clear that I am not affiliated with, nor do I endorse the web site found at that address. Ann George Clairvoyant, Psychic, and Usui Reiki Master.

Ethical Tarot Readings - A response to visitor mail by Ann George

Here is a letter a received from a visitor to my site. As this letter is not at all unusual, I thought it best to answer on the Blog and hope it will be of benefit to others. " Dear Ms. George,   My name is _________ and I'm ___ years old from Any City, USA. I have had many "psychic readings" over the years and spent hundreds of dollars on false prophecies. I am a true believer that there are some gifted individuals out there who can tap into their "3rd eye" and use their special gift to help people. Unfortunately, I have been duped so many times over.   I have had it pretty rough over the past 5 years or so and truly need some spiritual guidance and maybe even some reassurance that everything will be OK.   Somehow, I was led to your site and take everything as a sign. I would absolutely love to schedule a reading session with you but am so skeptical.   Is there any possible way that you may be able to show me that you are indeed the real deal to cal...

Ann George Studios, Inc. has an excellent reputation.

Image
Recently a long time client asked how she could now refer her friends to me. She told me that when she entered my name into the search engines she encountered two outrageous posts about my services on the " Rip Off Report ". There she found some abusive posts about my psychic services on "The Rip Off Report" I was already familiar with this site that allows people to post anonymous, and often very false complaints about business of any kind. As well, the site also must make money with affiliate advertising, because as you roll over a link, there is a little pop up ad that displays the very kind of service the consumer is complaining about. I did my due diligence to report to that sites web host that the information posted about me was false, and defamatory I had also received an e-mail from a company informing me of a very defamatory report at that site & offering to "repair" my reputation for a fee. I suspect that the company offering help is in...

Psychic Scams - More thoughts on a sensitive subject

Image
I have reviewed my past two articles on psychic scams, and double checked the information posted on the links I included in the last post. I notice that one post seems to take a bit too much pleasure in calling one reader a fraud. The evidence of the "fraud" is that the reader made a mistake during a public reading. Mistakes happen. No reader is 100% accurate, 100% of the time. To expect a human being to always perfectly see the past, present of future of the live or lives of another is just not reasonable. Even the best reader, with the best intention will find some clients difficult to read. As well, those who come to a session to play "trick the psychic" make it impossible for a reader to see clearly. For example, if you already know the answer to the question you are about to ask a professional reader, why bother asking? What purpose could that serve. (If you are seeking deeper insight into the how, or the why of something.. seeking clarity, then of course ask ...

Tarot Consultations Only - Ethics of a Professional Reader

Image
I have received several emails lately from new visitors to my website asking if I will perform rituals for them. In particular, I have been asked to do rituals for success, to reunite lost loves, to bring money, and to break up relationships. I do not now, nor have I ever offered services of this kind. I do not do "work" and have published many articles written to help new clients better understand the the power to change our lives rests with in each of us. We are the magic, we create the future, we can change so much about our lives when we have some clarity, insight and direction. An ethical Tarot consultation can indeed offer that clarity and an out picturing of the future outcome of our actions. I provide Clairvoyant Tarot readings by appointment. The fees for my services are clearly stated, and don't change. You receive the reading you pay for, one which offers many benefits .
