Hello and welcome to the Psychic News.

"Psychic Junkies".
A psychic junkie is a person who becomes so very dependent
on
receiving direction from their chosen psychic that they
get to
the stage where they are unable or perhaps more accurately,
they
are unwilling, to make even the simplest decisions for
themselves.
Every legitimate psychic works hard to and is subsequently
delighted to generate accurate predictions in readings.
But a
person who over reacts to this precognitive insight
by seeking it
too frequently from a psychic is trying to put the burden
of the
responsibility for their actions, and the subsequent
outcomes in
their lives, on the shoulders of their psychic.
I certainly don't want to be responsible for anyone
in that
fashion.
Not all psychics are completely ethical and this unfortunate
dependency becomes reliable income for some of my colleagues.
Here is where the concept of the psychic as a scam artist
originates.
Psychic junkies do a great disservice to themselves
and the
psychic profession.
Another problem for psychic junkies is in needing to
hear from
the psychic what they "want" to hear. Ethically
that is also
an impossibility for a legitimate psychic to provide
on demand.
The junkie then seeks a different psychic, and then
yet another
reader until finally one comes up with what the person
wants
to hear.
This problem escalates into an addictive habit of seeking
collaborative readings from whomever, whenever.
The junkie gets to need a "fix" or a reading
as often as they
can access one. This might end up with the person getting
readings several times a day on a telephone line or
numerous
different readings in one afternoon at a psychic fair.
"Psychic junkie" is an accurate term, because
the cost, both
financially and in terms of their mental health, to
the
individual of this addiction can be debilitating. The
cost to
the psychics is in their credibility.
A sad state of affairs all around.
When I am requested to complete readings for a repeat
customer,
I generally ask that the person wait at least 4 months
before
seeking another reading unless they are dealing with
new problems
or concerns for which they have never sought psychic
advice in the
past. It often takes that length of time or longer
for the events
that were foreseen or read to unfold.
Please don't judge psychics based on people who abuse
their services.

Finding and Using Lucky Charms
A charm is defined as: Something that brings good luck
when
combined with a gesture or a chant. It can also cure
or prevent
illnesses or afflictions, ward off evil or harm and
secure good
fortune. Amulets are charms derived from natural objects.
Talismans are generally stones or gems believed to have
special
powers.
Part of how these items work is our belief in them.
I think when
we make a practice of using them or carrying them, our
energy in
a way "charges" these objects and makes them
more powerful.
Unfortunately some of us become dependent on such items
and
become fearful if we loose or forget to carry them,
and in that
way they become as problematic as they should have been
helpful.
Much better in my opinion is to empower our own choice
of charms,
which can easily be replaced with no undue alarm if
the original
item suffers a mishap.
Aside from protective totems given to us by loved ones,
such as
a St. Christopher's medal (known for protecting travelers),
charms or lucky objects are quite easy to collect or
find in
nature and they become significant by establishing rituals
(a few
words or motions associated with the specific item when
using it).
>From my research and experience it seems that good
luck charms
are much more powerful if they originally were living
material
and are personally sought out and then empowered with
the charmed
beliefs.
Some easy to find natural or always available "charms"
and their
utilizations are listed below for your enjoyment and
possible use.
Acorns
These are placed near windows or hung from window
shade
pulls to bring luck to a house. This custom
originates
from the Vikings and Druids because of the strength
of
the oak tree and its capacity to attract lightening.
Apples
These are attributed as having the power to
bring luck,
long life, and knowledge. They are also used
to treat
warts in folklore. Twisting the apple stem
or peeling
the apple in one strip is used to determine
the initial
of a unknown future spouse. Effective also
is following
the old adage, "an apple a day keeps the
doctor away"
and eating them regularly.
Basil
This attracts sympathy and positive attention
when
carried while courting. It is also carried
or displayed
in the home to bring luck and ward off bad spells.
Beans
These are supposed to contain the essence of
life and have
the power to repel ghosts. They can be worn
or eaten for
luck. Remember Mark Twain's "Tom Sawyer"
dabbing bits of
his blood on a bean and burying the bean to
get rid of his
warts?
Chestnuts
Carry one in your pocket for luck or curing
a headache or
backache or relieving chest pains.
Crossing Fingers
When you don't have a charm with you, crossing
your
fingers averts bad luck. This custom dates
back to
early Christians who were forced to worship
in secret
and who wished to represent the Christian cross.
Daisies
Besides the well known "he loves me, he
loves me not"
business, the gypsies say a girl can recover
an absent
lover by sleeping with daisy roots under her
pillow.
Four Leaf Clovers
Everyone knows about this good luck emblem.
It is
particularly powerful if you find it yourself.
Beware
because 5 leaf clovers (also a possible find)
are a
very bad omen so don't pick them!
The four leaves represent, fame, wealth, good
health
and a faithful lover. There isn't much anyone
else could
want in life!
Garlic
Besides protection from vampires(?) this is
an effective
charm against illness. It is actually one of
nature's
antibiotics which may explain this widespread
belief.
It is also reported to give one courage if it
is carried
on your person.
Knocking on Wood
Touching wood acknowledges deity or the fates
and secures
favour. It is customary to be careful about
assumptions
about or taking for granted good things that
come your way,
but if such words slip out and you touch wood
you attract
the attention of good spirits rather than meddlesome
demons.
Best is to knock three times, three being a
number that is
considered powerful.
Shells
These have been considered sacred objects for
centuries.
They generally signify a safe return from a
voyage.
Obviously this list could go on forever! It is apparent
that one
can utilize whatever s/he determines to be a lucky charm
in any
fashion that is comfortable for him/her and suits their
purposes!
Good Luck.
