My mother-in-law would randomly frequent a few. She also used to do tarot cards with friends/family but not for money. Prior to all the phone ID's she would contact one in FL (we are in NY). Basically as I recall this lady had a waiting list and you would send a check with contact and she would call to make an appointment to talk to her which was usually weeks out. My wife found the number about a year after her mom passed and called her, wanted to talk and what she had to do. The lady said I'm calling you Thursday at 8am (it was like Tuesday). She said that appointment had been cancelled 4 times and that there was a lady named (her moms name) that kept coming in her mind and wanted to reach out. My wife said I haven't sent a check to you yet, lady said I know, don't worry, send it tomorrow or the next couple days.
My wife had frequently prayed to her mom and the night before did so with a "you need to let me know this is real". Morning comes, getting my son ready for school, he knocks the candle with her picture holder on the floor and it shatters. Wife is devastated but gets new candle (blue) old was yellow. She also has all curtains closed, lights off in living room. I take my son to school and stay away.
I get back later and wife is happy, calm etc. re-counts a bunch of stuff. The lady sends an old school cassette tape in the mail to listen to afterward. The stand outs as my wife said. Lady says good morning, your mom says she likes the blue candle you have today better than the yellow one yesterday. She said to turn the lights on in living room and open the shades so she can see you better. During the conversation medium tells my wife, even though it's a special day, tell your husband to take the appointment or you will have a 3rd child that he really doesn't want. 1 hour later the doctors office calls to reschedule my vasectomy appointment, and it will be on my sons birthday.
Lots of other things discussed that put my wife at peace with many things. Some things like above really do make you wonder.
