This number includes the psychic himself.<\/p>\n<p><!--- blog body ---><\/p>\n<div id=\"pBlogBody_265324526\" class=\"blogContent\">\n<p>The psychic&#8217;s name was Tobi Ellison. He is well known in the Paranormal communities of<br \/>\nOrange County, Florida and Los Angeles, Ca. He started out by telling us that he always<br \/>\nhad abilities to predict things as a child and later decided to hone in on his abilities by<br \/>\nlearning the art of card reading to tell people&#8217;s fortunes.<\/p>\n<p>We then had a short question and answer period. I asked him if he was affiliated with<\/p>\n<p>Cassadaga which is a town near Orlando where all residents are Psychics and found out<br \/>\nthat he was not. I did find out that he is currently working on a web site that will be online<br \/>\nsoon.<\/p>\n<p>Next, he led us through a meditation type exercise. He said it was very important for<br \/>\npeople to be relaxed to allow any spirit guides or spirit energies to come through our space.<\/p>\n<p>After our relaxation exercise period, the card reading began. He asked the first participant<br \/>\nto shuffle a deck of cards and then break them into two parts. These card were ordinary cards<br \/>\nand not tarot ones. He uses these kinds of cards for the first part of the reading. He uses<br \/>\nspecial angel cards for the second half of the reading.<\/p>\n<p>During the first half, he reads the persons fortune in front of the entire group and advices the<br \/>\nperson not to interrupt him during the reading. He then gets out a set of angel cards, shuffles<br \/>\nthem, and ask the person he is reading for to chose 4 cards at random. During the second half,<br \/>\nthe person he is reading for gets an<br \/>\nopportunity to ask questions.<\/p>\n<p>The psychic continues this process with all people attending the party. Every once in a while<br \/>\nhe will interrupt a person&#8217;s reading for a moment because he would get a sudden message<br \/>\nfor another person in the group. It was so fascinating and entertaining to hear everyone else&#8217;s<br \/>\nreading and to see an expression of their faces of pure amazement as they listened to Tobi.<br \/>\nDuring the party, we all took little breaks for food and drink. Diana, who was hosting the party,<br \/>\nhad a lovely apartment and did a great job providing refreshments for all.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, my reading could not have been more accurate. I have gone to other psychics before<br \/>\nand paid up to $ 50.00 for a reading. However, never before did I have a reading where I said<br \/>\nnothing and the psychic said it all. Out of the entire group, he told me that I had psychic abilities<br \/>\nand that I should get some cards and learn how to use them to do psychic readings.<\/p>\n<p>He also advised me to go to Cassadaga when I can because it would help me to hone in on my<br \/>\nabilities. He said the time was finally right for me to come out into the open and use my<br \/>\ngifts. Also, that by next year around this time, I should be an entirely different person.<\/p>\n<p>These statements did not surprise me in the least bit. I always known I had special abilities to<br \/>\npredict things and ever since I was eight years old, I have been seeing things of a Paranormal<br \/>\nnature and had strange things happen to me that I could never explain.<\/p>\n<p>Up until I joined several online social networks 13 months ago, I have been scared to tell anyone about these things for fear of being rejected and labeled insane. However, since I have been been a member of these online groups, I have met many people in the Paranormal community that are like me and it has empowered me to open up about my experiences and abilities.<\/p>\n<p>I currently teach college students and in the past, I wouldn&#8217;t even dream of speaking to my<br \/>\nstudents about these topics. However, these days, I am speaking to everyone of my classes<br \/>\nabout my experiences without fear. To my surprise, many students have opened up and told<br \/>\nme about their Paranormal experiences.<\/p>\n<p>The psychic was not selling any products, however, he highly recommended for every one to<br \/>\nwatch, &#8220;The Secret&#8221; and also, &#8220;The Secret behind the Secret&#8221;. He also recommended for one<br \/>\nof the people in our group to read, &#8220;Many Masters, Many Lives&#8221; and for another to read,<br \/>\n&#8220;Conversation with God&#8221;. His normal fee for a reading was $35.00 which I gladly paid.<\/p>\n<p>In all, I had a wonderful time and met a bunch of friendly and interesting people. However,<br \/>\nmy favorite part was meeting my MYSPACE friend, Buddy Dolan. He has been on my list<br \/>\nsince the first of the year. I have enjoyed my chats with him very much and thought he<br \/>\nwas a real gentleman and great person. Well, I was not disappointed. Buddy, thanks for<br \/>\ninviting me last night and for being my friend.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some pictures of the event:<\/p>\n<p>Here is a picture of Tobi and I<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v377\/nycrican1\/toby_nell.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"598\" \/><br \/>\nHere is a picture of our group:(One person did not wish to be in the picture)<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v377\/nycrican1\/newgrou.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"598\" \/><br \/>\nHere is a picture of Buddy and I:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v377\/nycrican1\/DSC02123.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"598\" \/><\/div>\n<p><!--- blogger's current book\/movie\/music\/games ---><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday, May 16, 2007 Thanks to an invitation from my MYSPACE friend, Buddy Dolan, I got to attend my veryfirst Tarot Card Reading Party last night.
