CHAPTER 1

Decisions

Choose what you love ...

The first time I had a psychic reading I was around 13 years old.My mother had fallen out with my father and like always, hereccentric friend Trudy was there to be a shoulder to cry on andprovide a place to stay. Whenever my mother and her friendscame together, there was the usual trip to a psychic followed bycoffee shop chatter on men, the newest affairs, and who wasbreaking up with whom. I loved those times and on my 13thbirthday, I was to be welcomed into the fold and was allowed tohave my tealeaves read.

I will never forget going for my first reading with the psychic.She lived in the country and yes, I know it sounds like a cliché,but she lived near a swamp and it was spooky. We arrived ontime, which was an extraordinary feat for Trudy, the car turnedoff the road and onto a driveway bordered with wild flowers.Trudy parked the car, and while my mother and her friendsmoked cigarettes, I stared out the back window. I felt excitedand jittery as I was being initiated into the fold of womanhood. Iwas grown up. Like a rite of passage, I was now one of the girlsand I could participate in those delicious conversations, and itwas all so tantalizing and fun.

The spring night was mild and the fog slowly crept in fromthe swamp and into the atmosphere causing us to feel secludedfrom the outside world. Its icy strands surrounded the old carand even my mother remarked it was creepy. We got out andheaded for the house, in the distance we heard the hoot from anowl and of course my mother had to mention that was a badomen. It took everything I could muster not to bolt back to thecar and lock myself in.

An elderly man with a slightly awkward demeanor greetedus; he welcomed us inside and guided us into a little front room,which smelled moldy. I remember noticing a bible and thoughtthat was odd. He promptly disappeared and then reappearedmoments later with a small tray of tea. "Make sure," he said,"that you leave some liquid in the bottom of your teacup andthen turn the cup around three times and make a wish." Andwith that he left us alone. We sat in relative silence and drank ourtea, which I might add did not taste particularly good but I didn'tcare as I was enthralled with the whole process.

When it was my time to go, the old man came for me to takeme to the kitchen as this was where I was to have my fortune told.I remember just standing in the kitchen doorway with my emptycup in my hand. Through the low lighting, my eyes spotted her,an old lady sitting at the far end of the surprisingly large room.

"Come in," she said, as I approached her table where manyhad shared their problems in life. The silence was awkward andI was secretly afraid she was going to tell me she couldn't readmy tealeaves because I was young, but just as afraid she would. Isat down across from her. She took my cup and peered into andsaid, "Let's see what your fate will be." Her voice cut through melike a knife, she was one who had seen through the veil, she knewwhat happened in shadows ... I was terrified. I watched her go towork with the skill and experience of an ancient seer; sheanalyzed the tea grains and poured out her wisdom. She sawmultiple marriages, near death experiences, my mother'ssuffering and much more. I only wish I had been mature enoughto heed her warnings. She did indeed see into my future thatnight and that early experience stayed with me and encouragedme to become a reader myself, which the old lady by the swamphad also foretold.

After that night, I read everything I could find on psychicpowers, astrology and anything paranormal. I eventually becamefriends with a woman who did readings professionally, thoughinstead of tealeaves she used playing cards. I persuaded her toteach me this craft, and over the next couple of years she taughtme and we became great friends.

My decision to take this path seriously and make it a careerchoice happened on a camping trip to Northern Ontario. We hadplanned to camp, but after a few days on a thin mattress we'dhad enough and we traded our tent for a cottage. Our home forthe next week was a quaint little cabin located just a few hoursnorth of Toronto. The view was magnificent. We weresurrounded in a kaleidoscope of pristine Northern beauty. It wasthe ideal place to begin a new journey of spiritual awakening.For the first time in a long time, this native woman felt trulyconnected to Mother Earth. The tapestry of colors and ruggedlandscape captured my heart and when I breathed, I wanted totake all of this creative energy into me and merge with the landitself.

Walking along the worn path I could hear the echoes of theancestors, I could sense their presence in the shadows, but I wasnot afraid and felt a peacefulness rise up inside of me, it wasassurance that their love would guide me.

In the evenings, we'd walk down to a communal campfire andenjoy shared beverages, toasted marshmallows and goodconversations.

I had bought a deck of playing cards and at the last minute I'ddecided to pack them into my bag. One evening I had struck upa conversation about spiritualism with a fellow camper and thetopic turned to readings. I told her I had been playing aroundwith my card deck and she asked me if I'd give her a reading. Ihave to admit I was really shy about it and unsure how I woulddo a complete reading. But I climbed up the hill to our rusticcottage, grabbed my cards and headed back down to the fire.With a much needed cup of strong coffee, I settled myself intomy comfy Muskoka chair and shuffled my cards; I decided tostick to a simple four card layout.

After the cards were pulled from the deck, I took a deepcleansing breath and decided to just feel the cards and hertogether. I had picked up on people's energies before and Iwanted to see if I could just tap into that ability again. It wasespecially easy to get into the mood, sitting near a campfire,smelling the aromas of the crackling wood, and under a canopyof stars, the energy seemed to flow effortlessly and the connectivityto spirit was...
