Well...HIYA Mae!

Geezzzzzzz...Mae and BabyBunny in the same thread. It's like old home week!

My mother had the ability to "read" people through a deck of plain ole playing cards. She never charged for readings and had many repeat customers for as long as I can remember. We had reading night at my house once a week for years. There was never less than 15 people and usually more. She never turned anyone away and read into the night if necessary. The customers insisted on paying her and she insisted she could never charge for a "God given" ability (<---her words).

The "customers" would bring her gifts since she wouldn't take money, and even some of those she returned graciously because they were very expensive.

Her only restriction in a reading was that she wouldn't divulge a person's death if she saw it. She'd always insist that they see a doctor for specific problems, even if the person was unaware of anything wrong. For example...once she told a male customer to get his prostate checked. Back in those days it wasn't the norm for men to have such exams unless it came along with an exam due to other, related/unrelated symptoms. After he left she told me he had cancer and was going to die because it had gone undiagnosed. She rarely told me stuff like this but it really upset her this time. He was a dear friend of one of mom's dearest friends and she didn't know how or if she should tell her friend. The man died less than a year later.

I've picked up some of her intuition, as did my baby sis. I don't explore it like mom did...but I probably could if I set my mind to it.
