woman who persistently asked if you saw her husband dying soon. This has happened to me often enough that I realized not only are these women interested in seeing if their husbands will die soon, but they are wishing them dead to boot! I've been seeing repetitive patterns like this in my readings lately and wonder if others also see these kinds of patterns. I'm also wondering why I see the particular patterns I'm seeing. You know? Like why do I get the ones wishing their men dead? I've also read for women who possess unique healing abilities. One woman was a dancer. Her particular gift if she chose to use it would be that if she continued to work on her spirituality the way she was at that time, she would get to the point where when performing on-stage her energy would be healing the audience members at the same time as she was entertaining them with dance! Another woman's gift had to do with an ancient lineage of women priestesses she was descended from, and that she could be quite excellent at doing healing work via sex magic! Very interesting stuff....

I remember many times reading a full page ad from some self-proclaimed maven that they could find out the death date of any person by 'accessing the akashic (spelling?) records.' If this didn't scream CHARLATON at you, I don't know what would. People presumedly paid him $XX to find out when they would die, or the death date of someone else (so they could be there to collect the insurance one presumes). the bind moggles .....

Well, I have a lady friend who has been told by a fortune teller that her husband would die in a car crash. Since then, she (she reads too) constantly looks for signs of this in her cards and tries to get me to see this too... I prefer not to read for her in her presence because she tends to interpret my cards that way :( I'm not sure if she initially wanted him dead, but in the meantime, things have occurred where she recently told me, in the end it would be better if he were... yikes...

Thanks Simone and Tarotbear, your replies at least help me to see that I'm not the only one noticing this. It is interesting because I'm sure that many women at some time become mad enough at their husbands that they wish them dead, but it seems that some of them go on to take it to another level. And it becomes a prayer...a mantra. And I think that if we were to really look at it spiritually, they are in effect also wishing themselves dead. You know, as in what we do to the web we do to ourselves.

It's too bad they don't choose to take a more common sense approach and just take themselves out of the loop (ie: move on to a life of their own). What they're going through sure isn't healthy if they've reached the stage they prefer someone else to die to 'fix it'.

Seriously!!! There are some things you shouldnt use tarot for, and this is a great example...just DIVORCE!

At the end of 2003, he was informed that he would be dead shortly after New Years 2004. Although he knows better, he has asked me more than once to answer the 'ultimate question' - which I cannot do. It is now a year after the doctors informed him he would be dead - he has 10% liver functioning the last time I talked with him. I don't see him online very much anymore, but I know he is still alive through others. I am sure he thinks I've abandoned him or something. If I believed such a thing was within my power, do you think I would want the guilt carried on my shoulders for telling him when he would die - and being right? This is not an easy one tarotbear. Sounds like you really tried to do the 'right' thing. What would he do with this information, because, I would fear that if I did the reading, told him a date and then was wrong about it, well then what? Right or wrong, what would he DO if he knew??? Would he live differently? Then live differently now. Would he euthanize? He can choose this no matter the answer, probably his quality of life is not that great. Liver failure is horrible. And if you do the reading and are right, well then, you know/learn something about yourself. Probably you learn something no matter what you do. I think that in the grand scheme of things we are brought people like your guy and my wives to show us something not only about people so that we can be better readers, but about ourselves so that we can be better souls. hugs to you, elf

That's very wise, elf. For of course, by helping others we do grow. And we grow just as much when we have to admit our powerlessness to help.
