Nestled on the corner of 6th Ave & 29th St. in New York City, is a snazzy apartment-like space run by a clairvoyant/psychic woman named Grace.
Grace offers palm readings for $20…or $40 if you choose to do both palms. I chose the latter and, just to explore the extent of this psychic’s gifts, I threw in an extra $90 for an overnight meditation, through which Grace discovered that my life had been afflicted by negative energies from several generations ago.
For an additional $695, Grace offered to get rid of those negative energies.
“I can help you dispel those negative energies,” she said.
“How so?” I said.
“I’d use a quartz crystal…which is the strongest crystal of all,” Grace said. “Along with some candles.”
Really? Some $695 crystals and candles can clear up “negative mess” built around me, over several generations? How cheap! One would think that negative energies that came aaall the way from generations before me would cost like a zillion and five dollars to remove. I told Grace I would think about that $695 and waved her goodbye.
The next day, I fell into in another psychic, Zena’s hands. Literally. Zena welcomed me into her fancy psychic parlor in the West Village and asked me to place my hands over a crystal ball, which would allow her to read at least three years into my future. She clasped her hands over mine.
She asked if twins ran in my family. “No,” I said.
