Psychic Chat Online
From LoveToKnow Online
Have you ever been curious about using a psychic chat online? You may have seen an online ad, but not known what you might get from the experience. Read on to find out what you can expect by using an online psychic.
What are Psychics?
Psychics are people that claim to be able to see the past, present or future. Psychics may use a variety of methods to “see” things about us, from automatic writing to using tarot cards. People that offer a psychic chat online usually use a method that can be done easily while sitting down. The most common methods for online chats are tarots, runes, automatic writing or simply using “psychic powers” to answer your questions.
Tools of the Trade
Tarot Cards
A psychic that uses tarot cards to answer your questions will be using a set of cards illustrated with pictures and symbols. You will ask your question first, then the psychic will pull cards from the tarot deck and place them in a particular arrangement, such as a cross, a line or a star. The meanings of each card depend upon their placement in the configuration, and whether or not the cards appear upside down or not. The tarot card reader will tell you the meaning of the cards in relation to the question you ask.
Runes
Runes are small stones with letter symbols on them. There are 24 runic symbols or letters. Runes can be drawn and placed in a tree pattern, or the person casting them may strew them. The arrangement of the runes, whether they land in groups, far apart or in formation, tells the reader what he or she wants to know.
Automatic Writing
Few psychics use automatic writing to tell them what they need to know. A person that has this psychic ability places a note pad and pen or pencil in front of her before starting a reading. She then prepares to write and ask a person what he wants to know about his life or dreams. The psychic will then begin writing, usually without looking at what she is writing. The psychic can often carry on conversations while her hand seems to move independently. When the reading is done, she will read what she has written. For many psychics, the person giving them the information in their writing is a spirit guide.
Using a Psychic Chat Online
If you have decided to take the plunge and use a psychic chat online, there are a few things you should be aware of. While using a psychic can be a fun experience, there are many unscrupulous businesses that are more interested in separating you from your money than revealing truths about your future. Things to look for include:
- Beware of “free” chats. These chats are usually only free for the first minute or so; after that the cost can skyrocket. Know exactly what the cost is per minute before you continue. Keep track of the time that you spend with the psychic, and if you feel it is taking too long for your reading, don’t be afraid to disconnect from the website.
- Don’t allow yourself to be threatened. Though it's uncommon, some psychics use intimidation techniques to keep you coming back. For example, they may say if you don’t send them a certain amount of money, terrible things are going to happen to you and your family.
- Be careful in revealing personal information to a psychic. If the person is a true psychic, they don’t need much more than your first name or perhaps your astrological sign.
- Never give your credit card information out unless it is through a secure server. You can identify a secure transaction by a padlock icon appearing at the checkout page - either at the bottom of your browser window or next to the URL.
Online Psychic Chat Sites
The following sites offer readings from psychics in an online chat forum:
Disclaimer - Information from a Psychic
Anything a psychic tells you should be taken with a grain of salt. While it can be a lot of fun having a psychic reading, not everything they tell you will be 100 percent true. This doesn’t mean that they are deliberately lying to you, but human error occurs in every occupation, even the unusual ones. Enjoy a reading for what it is, a form of entertainment.
