An ethnic question for the Lounge.
Regardless of your ethnic make up many of us are intrigued by spiritual mediums. We have a place nearby called Cassadaga, where many mediums live. When I was younger, it was a ritual bonding experience to get a car load of office mates to drive up to Cassadaga for a reading.
Today, I'm not opposed to readings, but I would only go to accompany someone who has a need for company. Mostly, the readings I've had, after the first one, were all too generic to be meaningful. What I do remember from the first guy, was that he claimed I had a bright golden light that attracted people to me, but that they would take, without giving back. He expressed it this way, "You have a bright golden light that pours into your heart, but your heart is like a cup with a hole at the bottom, and that light spills out." I guess he left it up to me to figure out how this would work out in the end.
The only other medium that skirted the issue of the troubles I would have to bear in life pulled up a card with a person that had something like nine or twelve swords piercing through the body. Again, the reading was generic.
Here's my question. All of these mediums were white. I wondered if they were interpreting my "future" in ways that only a white person could relate to. I wonder what would happen if I would go to an ethnic minority medium? How would they interpret it.
God, I would love to hear one say, "Grrrl, you need to find a new circle of friends."

for you when trying to find out something and the interpreter doesn't seem to relate, I say...
"Grrrl, you need to find a new circle of friends."
