This isn't my job, but would like to reply. I understand not being able to say, except in certain company. I live in the South and here even those wanting a reading are 'in the closet' so to speak. Unless if you happen to be of kindred spirits and can sense this, people here will usually group you (to their minds in two closely related groups) and a third group..........1. you are the devil's spawn, 2. you are an out right witch and they should ran and fetch the torch to burn you, or 3. when they thought you were so bright and intellegent before, they now know you've lost your marbles and it is a hushed subject, because any that are aware of this know how sad this is... so best to act as if this was never spoke of and go along with business as usual.
I work with a very, small staff of people. Four that I worked with I've openly shared it with them. Two aren't there any more, so of no account now, but one of them is in town and I've read for her and a member of her family and they had readings that happened later as I named it, so she and her's know of its merits. Of the two still there, one that I am close to, I know for sure thinks #3, but is pretty certain of 1 and 2 as well. The other wants anything and everything she can get for free. I haven't read for her, I think she would be classing me as in all three groups. However, the reason that I haven't read for her is she is all wants, wants, wants... and flies from one thing to the next as fast as she can flitter. So I am certain she would be one that wants a freebie, doesn't really pay attention (unless if feeding what she wants to hear... ego), wouldn't really value a reading, because this is all play any way (right?), then tell all that you are in all three groups and get her padded room ready.
A neighnor that would have classed me as #3, after her first reading was surprised and it came true. After another reading, she knew this was for real and that what came about was secret info., so how could I get that? Between the two readings, she had some trying to tell her this is not real and all fake. She shared the last part because of the results of the reading, in countering what others have told her.
I have shared with people because I want to be true to me, as me and even to total strangers when asking questions. More than a few times I've bought notions and fabrics for tarot bags and some have to know what you are making with the pretty items. I don't lie and say bags for jewelry. I tell them tarot bags and if I get the look of not understanding I educate then and there. All said, still I do not wish to be flamed figuratively or literally.
