This picture is something I found on the Internet - all CGI or Photoshop. But I need it to illustrate something I stated in my last post about the storefront Reader that appeared in my town.

Many years ago, my bf and I were in Newport, RI and came across a storefront Reader shop - painted bright purple inside and out, run by a mother & daughter act. I decided to try them out - but as usual - I never tell someone I am a Tarot reader myself. Daughter asked me to think of  three questions and shuffle the cards and hand them back. I did what I was asked and she was off and running! She was using the Thoth deck, and I soon realized that she was not reading the cards at all - she was reading me. She started talking about a man that greatly influenced my life and just kept talking and talking - and everything was totally correct except for one point - he was dead. But she told me stuff about the two of us that no one would ever have known. She spoke for about 40 minutes and finally realized that she had gone ‘way over the time I paid for. So, I asked about ‘my questions’ and she quickly spread the cards out and said ‘Your Three Books are going to do very well.’ At that point I had only written one book, so it told me there were at least 3 in my future.
