One of the things is, I do magic, and used to do tarot.

I found the tarot readings were infinitely better to the person getting the reading when I just forced the results. So I did.

I still did all the things you're indicating about talking about specific personality, etc, as the patter to the concept.

Yeah, I see a lot of people doing tarot readings for money but I don't see myself doing that.

I got into the tarot group because it's not so easy to find a therianthrope's guild!

From a scientific perspective there is a lot to say for randomness. Like the theory that the I Ching was a version of game theory from bronze age China. I recently created A System of Blessings with 13 selected characters from the I Ching because I wanted to give people something nice but didn't want to give everybody the same thing.

I never did it for money. I did it for free. My joy was in their joy.

My job was to heighten their experience, and to essentially act as a mini therapist enabling them to feel confident in their own decisions.

But I feel you. I did things entirely differently to everyone else. Which is why I thought it was an interesting story.

Myself I charm people with fox magic to melt them into puddles before I photograph them
