Witchfest is also one of the better events that I read at, insofar as the people who come for reading are more likely to be open about themselves, rather than expecting you to read their mind to find out why they want a reading.<\/p>\n<p>Amongst my clients, I met an actor, a transgender person, a vivacious young model\/poet (who had a reading from all of us), an animal communicator and pole dancer (I know, how fun does that sound as a career combination!), a drama teacher, a qualified medical herbalist, a film artist (who paints armour, prosthetics and make-up), a live-in maternity consultant (it&#8217;s a London thing, apparently), a young widow, a worried father-to-be, a sweet\u00a0and\u00a0slightly bemused young couple on their first curiosity visit to Witchfest, and many more. It was a fascinating glimpse into some truly interesting and diverse lives.<\/p>\n<p>During the day, I dispensed advice and guidance on career paths (a lot of these), relationships (potential and existing with partners, children and family), relocation, health* and a lot of general life stuff.<\/p>\n<p>One of the nicest moment was the lady who came over, during a brief break between clients, to tell me that I had read for her the previous year and everything had come to pass as I had said it would \ud83d\ude42 Now I don&#8217;t generally go in for fortune-telling, but an element of peeking into the future is inevitably\u00a0involved.<\/p>\n<p>In all, a good and productive day\u00a0from me and I hope, for my clients too \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><em>*I always advise seeking qualified professional advice for health and finance, but I do use the cards\u00a0to make suggestions which may help in terms of general wellbeing and exploring choices and options.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently spent\u00a0the\u00a0day reading Tarot at Witchfest, held this year in Brighton for the first time.
