5 Things You Need To Know Before You Call A Psychic

More and more people are discovering the life-changing benefits of consulting and getting readings from psychics. Because of this, the paranormal, spirit medium, and psychic fields are booming more than ever.

This is especially true in October when people consult mediums to connect with their deceased loved ones. As someone who has had her life improved with the help of psychics, I wanted to share some tips for anyone thinking about getting a psychic reading.

1

Don’t Go In Expecting Specific Answers

It makes sense to want very detailed and specific questions answered by a psychic during a reading. You might wonder about only one specific thing when you consult them, and psychics are very open to any questions. However, this isn’t always the best idea. You shouldn’t only want a psychic reading if you’re trying to get a definitive answer to something very specific.

Expecting this from your consult could result in a letdown. The reason is that a genuine, talented psychic doesn’t give you information from INSIDE them; they can only provide you with information that comes THROUGH them.

That means the psychic can’t control what their spirit guides are telling them to pass on to you and might be unable to answer your exact question. They can only give you the answers you NEED, not the ones you WANT, and they can be completely different. The good news is that whatever information they convey will be very important and transformative.

Allow The Psychic To Do Their Job And Lead The Session

The fact is, you’re hiring a professional psychic for their time and spiritual energy. It would be best if you let the psychic do their job and allow them to guide the conversation in the direction it needs. A gifted psychic should be the one doing the majority of the talking.

They should only ask you to confirm and verify the information their guides give them about you. If you use the reading as an emotional outlet to rant about your life, vent about your problems, or give them personal overload, you’ll likely frustrate the psychic. However, this is only true if the psychic is authentic.

If the psychic is a fraud, giving the psychic too much personal information will make it easier to scam you. They can use all the personal details you’ve given them to their advantage and manipulate you and the reading. Let the psychic use their intuition and gifts to tell you what you need to hear.

Listen For Details That Only You Would Know

A genuine psychic can give you random bits of information throughout the reading. These are usually strange and unique statements, phrases, or words only you would understand. This information helps you confirm that the psychic is making a good connection with you.

Don’t go into the reading expecting to hear “secret code words” or phrases you and your deceased loved one shared. Remember, the information psychics receive might not exactly be what you expect. On the contrary, sometimes it can be the last thing you hope to hear from them.

For example, once, during a psychic reading, the psychic told me she was connecting with my cousin, who passed away when we were both teenagers. I didn’t know what to believe until she told me she kept getting images of trees. A boy jumping out of a tree, inside a tree house, climbing up a tree, etc.

It made sense because my cousin and I spent a lot of time together, and he loved scaring the heck out of me by catching me off guard and jumping out of trees at me. It would startle me so much every time, and I never got used to it. This detail was weird for the psychic to know, and it confirmed everything else she told me during the reading.

It’s essential to keep an open mind during a psychic consult and pay close attention to what they tell you. Some of it won’t make sense then because of “psychic amnesia.” This phrase describes being unable to remember a specific experience the psychic tells you about until afterward. Memories come and go, and your brain has to decide which ones are important enough to keep.

Your brain may have erased a particular memory because it wasn’t a big deal for you, but it could have been a bigger deal to the person trying to reach you and meant more to them. Once you’re done with the reading and have had time to decompress and process everything you heard, your memories will begin to resurface, and you’ll understand afterward what the psychic was referring to. This is perfectly normal, so don’t be surprised if something doesn’t make sense during the reading.

Know The Difference Between A Psychic And A Psychic Medium

The basic rule of thumb here is that all mediums are psychic, but not all psychics are mediums. Many people confuse the two and think they’re the same. A medium is a psychic with the gift of making contact with the deceased’s spirits and communicating messages back and forth with them.

Psychics can’t speak with the deceased; they only specialize in giving you information they receive intuitively about your life, your relationships, and what’s best for you on your earthly journey. It’s a good idea to research in advance and learn whether the professional you’ll be reading with is a psychic medium or just a psychic. Knowing the difference helps you understand what to expect.

It’ll also keep you from consulting a regular psychic if you’re trying to contact a deceased loved one. It’s important to keep an open mind if you schedule with a medium hoping to connect with a specific person. You may receive messages from someone you didn’t want to hear from. An abusive stepparent or family member can come through instead of the person you wanted.

Things like this usually happen for a reason. You may have needed to hear from this person to heal and move forward. Maybe their souls can’t rest because they feel horrible about how they treated you and now want your forgiveness. Be open to this and consider accepting their apology; it can help you more than you know.

Don’t Be Afraid To End A Reading That Feels Wrong

You need to know that a genuine and trustworthy psychic will NEVER predict a tragedy, foretell your death, or promise you the winning lottery numbers. A reputable psychic will never tell you that you have a curse placed upon you or someone you know and that the only way to remove it is to keep consulting them and paying them money. Also, if a psychic starts charging you more and more each time you speak with them, hang up or run away fast, as this is a sign of a fraudulent psychic.

The same applies if the psychic tries to tell you that to fix your problems, you must purchase additional tools and supplies consistently. An example would be them wanting you to give them money so they can buy expensive candles, talismans, pendulums, or rare jewels and jewelry. If something about the psychic doesn’t feel right or genuine, don’t be afraid to stop communication with them asap.

You should also know that there are times when, no matter what, the psychic just can’t make a good connection with you and your energy. This miscommunication happens for several reasons, but the psychic should recognize that it just isn’t going to happen. They should offer to end the session at no cost or give you credit so you can speak with a different psychic who might connect with your energy on a better level.

If you can tell a psychic isn’t on your wavelength and can’t give you information about yourself, don’t let them fake their way through the reading so they can keep charging you. It’s hard to explain in words, but you’ll know what it feels like if it ever happens to you. Don’t be afraid of calling their bluff and telling them the session is over.

Start With These Basics

There are more helpful things to know before getting a psychic reading, but these are a good start. Always research and ensure you’re only contacting genuine, reputable online psychics. I’ve made mistakes because I didn’t know what to look for. However, I’ve learned a lot since then.

I prefer to go with trustworthy psychic networks like the ones I’ve reviewed here because they’re verified and guaranteed. They never work with fraudulent psychics, and all of the psychics’ work speaks for itself. I’ve referred several friends and family members, and they’ve all had nothing but good things to say about their experience.

  1. I was scammed by a psychic who took almost $600 from my checking account. We talked about jazz musicians which I can
    do any day of the week for free here where I live. When I complained the organization had a supervisor talk to me. He sai he iistened to our conversation and it was legit and the charges would stand. SCAM! A psychic about jazz musicians! I don’t know who the group is only that I talked to Siren Rose. I am
    embarrassed to admit I was taken advantage of. Many would wonder what I was doing talking to a psychic in the first place.
    Hocus Pocus! I’ll never see that money.

    Still feeling cursed. April 2, 2021 at 4:52 am

    Hello Angela, Ross here. I found your website as I found that after I clicked on the ad on YouTube – who is your guardian angel – because I’d always secretly wanted to believe that there was such a thing. What I found there was Padre guardian angel and Angela guardian angel and Christin medium, offering a free reading etc. and sent to my email address fantastic predictions about my future… but then was told- after many emails- and ever increasing fees that I was cursed and that only by purchasing their products – at escalating fees – would be able to cure me, see when I was very young someone sent my family a small piece of stone that they ” stole ” from a sacred Australian Aboriginal site – Uluru or Ayers rock- probably the most sacred site on the continent and most likely had been protected by all manner of magic spells and curses on anyone who desecrated this special place. After this ” friend ” of the family posted this small piece of sandstone souvenir to us our lives started to be plagued by the most life life trashing stuff that followed us from place to place as we tried to escape this ” curse! ” ( in this country there is many others that have been ” victims ” of this ” powerful bad magic ” by similarly desecrating this place. Anyway… I’ve – many times ” said to my self ” what other explanation could there be for such weird and logic defying bad ” coincidences ? Enough that there was no way that I was ever going to pass my genes on- or my brother. So when the employees of sesame told me that I was the victim of a ” family curse ” ( I never mentioned it ) , I wanted to believe that they could ” cure me ” – clutching at straws here… but it went on and on getting more and more bizarre and costing more and more ( 2 K now… ) before I ” woke up ‘ to ” reality ” and realised that they were totally screwing with my head. It all happened in such an insidiously cunning and utterly ruthless fashion and that their business model redefines corruption in the sickest of ways.

    • Sorry to hear that Ross. They are exceedingly good at their craft, so don’t blame yourself too much. I’ve been in your same shoes. I’m happy to hear you finally saw through the whole fraud before they completely bankrupted you.

      I wrote some reviews about the Padre Messenger scam here as well as Angel Medium here. The worst part is, there are more and more of these scams popping up everyday.

  3. Thank you for taking the time/effort to reply,Angela. Feel a bit less alone in this first time online scammed…yea, a 131 emails in 37 days!. ‘ product cost from $59. to $345. so yea, $1785. with $230. “owing”! Thank you again.

    • Expensive, but lesson learned. I’m happy I could help in some way Ross.

      • Hi,Angela, Ross back here again… Thanks for your two replies to my two comments.I asked for all monies to be refunded – as things seemed to be getting more bizarre – and was notified by each that I would be refunded.I was refunded the full amounts, within three weeks. Thank you again.

        • So happy to hear that Ross! I’m glad I could help someone

        • Hello Angela, thanks for replying again. I’m very appreciative that you exist in the world ! also that you created your website! The unfortunate experience that motivated you to start it, I think must be measured against the scale of all the good that has resulted for all the people since. It is really reassuring for ones like me that a place like this exists. Somewhere that the scammed can come to and feel much less alone in it! Very grateful for it.

        • Ross I’m so glad you see the value in what I do here! I figure we’re stronger together and the more people you can inform the fewer that get scammed. Maybe it even helps them spot similar scams in the future.

  4. Hi Angela, It’s been a rough road, and Magellan came when my spirit was low as I just lost my mom to covid. His message was urgent, and all he wanted was 79.99. Nothing after the point of not having money was he not adamant about receiving funds. This is the biggest thank you from my heart to yours. Trust is so hard to come by these days but understands that you are respected and trusted by many. Have an awesome Day!!

    • I’m really sorry for your loss Mary, this virus thing has really taken a toll on us all but its even harder when you lose someone to it. My heart goes out to you. I’m happy I was able to help you avoid even a little more pain during this time. Stay safe and vigilant out there. Best Wishes!
