Transparency.
Who you are and what you do.
The other day I was managing comments submitted on my other blog, www.free-candle-spells.com and I got one that comes from a psychic that is subtle in her advertising for readings but my website filters all that and I get to view them before approving them or sending them to the trash. Curious, I open up a new tab and type the name-dot-com in the bar and sure enough it is a website for readings.
As I look over this website, I can categorize it as another psychic-who-wants-business-but-uses-glittery-mystical-images-to-represent-them. You know what I mean – the ads that can almost be made by the psychic themselves with some follow-the-directions-script like those 1960’s paint-by-numbers art kits we would get for Christmas. I shake my head and say – “Why?”
Why is it that someone who wants to assist others and use their gifts have to resort to hiding behind graphic arts fantasy images? Why can’t they be transparent and add a photo of themselves? I can understand that some psychics, tarot readers and the like have normal, everyday jobs and probably does not want their co-workers know what they are doing in their own private life, but why can’t these psychics just advertise under their first names and put a photo on their sites?
In addition to the vague references to what they do, there is no photos of the actual cards, sacred spaces or altars and the to top it off, the prices for a reading is ridiculously high.
This is part of the little “birdie” that tweets in my ear – you know what I am talking about, that little voice that comments on what you do called Conscience. One of the things I strive for is not to be clumped into a group called “Fakes and Charlatans”; people who masquerade as ‘psychics’ and ‘mystics’ and have that air about them that they are the Masters of the Universe (huh?) and they can “know all, see all”. That is why I strive to make myself as a tarot reader and root worker to be as transparent as possible. Google me, FB me, I am there. No secrets. I do what I do and that is all I can offer. Real, honest and ethical psychics, tarot readers, root workers and the like who use the Internet for contacts need to be transparent so that clients can develop trust in their gifted arts. Even if they choose to use only their first name, oh my – kind of like Tarot by Jacqueline – then you can be able to plug that name into Google images and get a photo.
Sigh.
Thank you to all the authentic readers, psychics, mystics, root workers and others who are not afraid to show their faces to the World so that you can be seen as an authority in this gifted field of spiritual work.
