I wasn't sure where to put this, so mods, move as you feel fit!
Last night I went to our local metaphysical shop and while there found out there was a lady doing "Angel" readings. I never had one, so figured, why not? She seemed pleasant enough and pulled out one of her Doreen Virtue decks and shuffled very lightly, pulled 4 cards and read the meanings on them, just like you or I could do. She didn't embelish much on them and when she was done, I had to point out to her that she didn't read the last card. She held it up in front of my face as it said something like "Your problems will be resolved" and said that says it all, I can't embelish on it. I felt like saying "try".
I am not sure what exactly I expected for 20.00 for 15 minutes, but I expected more than this. She really had no talent for reading and the next time I go into the store, they will be asking me how it went. The owners are wonderful people and now I have to find a way to tactfully tell them their reader basically stinks. While there I did hear the owner say that one client had cancelled on her, no one was waiting and that no one else was signed up for the night. Plus she said she had done the schedule for the next few months and she was not on it because they had "no room". I wonder if they already have had complaints or something, but I know them...we get all chatty, so anyone have a nice suggestion as to how I break this to them, politely? The reading wasn't worth 20.00. It wasn't even worth 5.00, to be honest with you. I have had other readers and healers from this store and they have been awesome. This lady was just completely lacking in any reading ability. I walked away feeling absolutely no connection with the reading, reader, angels or anything! So, went home and did a reading for myself with the same deck. lol Ah, sigh....
