It all started for me about 12 years ago.  A good friend of mine wanted me to take a class with her at a local community college about eastern mythology based divinations.  You know that whole Yin and Yang, i-Ching kind of thing.  I wasn’t into the whole psychic thing, but she was persistent so I agreed to accompany her to the class, since it was only a two week course anyway and ancient Asian mythology was rather interesting to me.

It was during this class that the professor asked me how long I have been sensitive.  I had no idea what the heck she was talking about at the time.   She could tell I was uncomfortable talking about it so she dropped it but her question stuck with me in the back of my mind for awhile.  What did she mean?  What an unusual thing to ask someone.

A few months later this same friend of mine who I attended the first class in was going to take a 6 week mini course on the ancient Egyptian book of dreams, which was basically a class on dream interpretation, in accordance with ancient Egyptian mythology.  I’ve always been fascinated by ancient Egyptian history and dream interpretation so I agreed to attend this class with my friend as well.

This class was a very eye opening experience.  What I found most interesting is how even 5,000 years ago people were just as confused by their crazy dreams as we are today.  In this class we learned how dreams are symbolic and that the weird things you may see in dreams are really your subconsciousness mind trying to speak to you.   Then again sometimes it’s just a rehash of things you experienced that day, and your short term memory is playing through what happened so it can begin to store it in your long term memory.  The only way to really know what the dream is about is to try and analyze it and in ancient times they created a book, some call it the book of dreams that can help yo define what the symbolic things that appear in your dreams mean.

The problem is things have very different means to different people.  There is no way to provide a universal translator of symbols that come from dreams because what someone may mean to you may have a very different meaning to me based on our life experiences.

For example to the ancient Egyptians dreaming about a snake would have a very different meaning than if you were to dream about a snake.  Snakes to the ancient Egyptian were a big part of their religion and mythology.  Modern day dream interpretation books will tell you that dreaming about a snake is about treachery or betrayal.  And for many people that may very well be true but what if when you were a child, you had a pet snake and it was your best friend in the whole world and you loved it so much?  Well of course then that experience would greatly change your views on snakes and therefore if you were to dream about a snake the meaning would be different than if I were to dream about a snake or if an ancient Egyptian were to have the same dream.  To each of us a snake means something totally different.

So simply put, your dreams are unique to you because the weird things that happen in your dream, those crazy symbolic things that appear to you every night when you sleep have a unique meaning to you based on your own past life experiences.

As you might have guessed, I loved the class. I really got into it and studied very hard to learn everything the professor had to teach me.

One day, a few weeks into the class, the professor asked me to stay late.  He sat me down and asked me about myself.  At first I thought he was just being a little pervy, maybe hitting on me in his own little weird way, but it turns out that wasn’t the case at all. Turns out he wanted to get to know me to find out how much I knew about myself.

Since I was a child I’ve always been sensitive to what others were feeling.  If they were sad, I was sad.  I never really understood it, but I also never tried.  I just was who I was and I didn’t really give it much thought beyond that. But while talking with the professor he gave me a little more knowledge and insight about empathy. He also went on to explain that I could really help people. Since it was easier for me to empathize with what other people were going through, it would be easier for me to help set those people on a better path in life.

I spent the next 7 years studying various aspects of divination. Not just how to do readings but also the histories behind them. I also spent several years studying ancient cultures and their histories include ancient Korean and Egyptian history and specifically their religions and mythologies and methods of divination.

A few years ago I took a part time job working for a telecommunications company doing telephone readings. This was a company who was charging callers a per minute fee. In one way it was great because I got to practice my skills but in another way it was very hard. I found the callers were typically more concerned about how much money the call was costing them than the actual questions they may have had for me. They were in such a rush to save a minute or two it was always hard to give a really good reading.

One day I was at a office Christmas party. It was for a company that my friend worked for and she asked me to go with her since she didn’t have a date. It was at this part I met an adorable set of twin sisters. While they were in college they had an unusual career. They started off making money as cyber-strippers and would eventually go on to be adult performers. Something about these girls just fascinated me. Besides the fact that they were very sweet, they also had a very unusual life story. I enjoyed chatting with them and before leaving the party I gave them my email address and told them if they wanted to contact me I would do a reading for them both.

I did several readings for the sisters over the next few months. Eventually we started chatting about a friend of theirs that was creating a website for them and they suggested I talk to her about creating a website for me. It would be a way for me to express myself and share my readings with others, all over the world. And now here we are today.
