The Psychic Game

Welcome To The Psychic Game!
Fun for Ages 5 to 105.
On a late October Sunday, only about twenty people were spread out on half a mile of pristine beach on the windward side of Oahu. My friend and I agreed: the Gold Prize for the most perfect, turquoise tropical sea goes to Hawai'i. We were splayed out under the shade of a palm—adorned, a la ZZ Top, with cheap sunglasses. It was a central casting moment. A cooler of sandwiches, sodas, fruit, and chips was positioned between us. Vast spaces of silence stretched out between our utterances.

Two local kids slid into the surf on their boogie boards trying to get the best rush they could out of the tame waves. Gesturing to the ocean, I said, “It’s Sunday. Where are all the people when God gave us this?" Not that I wanted them there. My friend's answer struck me as somewhat obvious. I replied, “Oh...Of course.”

The Psychic Game is played when you have two or more outcomes before you. Here are four possible responses my friend may have given to me. Which of them is the one? I pulled a card at random from my Postcard Tarot for your guidance, and received a card featuring “Portrait of Marie Henneberg” by Gustav Klimt which I picked up at the Neue Gallerie on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. You can view it here and return back to play:

First, choose an answer, intuiting the response that you sense my friend gave to my query from those below. Then, click through to my blog for her actual response. You’ll see it in bold. Thoughts on this psychic exercise will follow.

The question is, where are all the people?
The clue is, Portrait of Marie Henneberg by Gustav Klimt.

A. “They’re watching the game." 
B. “They’re at the mall.”
C. “They’re following the news.”
D. "They’re scrolling through social media."
​
Today’s game involves a deterministic, yes or no type question. Clients often ask them, such as:
Am I going to get the job or not?
Is he going to reply by next week or not? If so, what day?

What day!? I’m a symbolist, not an all-seeing God. If I could get that specific I would play the lottery.

However, a symbol will strongly indicate. Without a symbol, you’re just guessing. Before reading on, ask yourself which reply might best be symbolized by Klimt’s painting and choose one.

In this exercise, you didn’t have anything to go on other than the card I offered you, and my “Oh, of course” response. By consulting the Postcard Tarot, you’ll get some clues as to the outcome.

My friend responded with B. “They’re at the mall.” I think this fits for the fashionable painting of the woman in a regal dress. It has nothing to do with the news or sports. I guess one could stretch and see a social media post in it, but you’d most likely see this model at the mall. 

I invite you to join me in a psychic reading for clarity, confirmation and direction on the matters most important to you. Thank you for referring my work to your friends, cousins, siblings, neighbors and coworkers. Your referrals are a great gift!

Aloha,
