I was on my way to Alchemy Arts and was crossing the busy intersection at Broadway when I saw a…read moreblack cat very close to the road, so I pulled over to try and move her to a safer spot. I noticed the cat did not have a collar on and decided to quickly take her to the nearest vet to get scanned for a chip. Luckily, the cat did have a chip and the owner was notified. The vet told me the owner did not seem concerned and said the cat was an outdoor cat, but that they would come pick her up from the office. I was told I had to stay with the cat until the owner arrived. I waited at the vet's office for over an hour with the cat, and the owner arrived just minutes before the office closed. I explained to the owner that the cat was in the intersection and at risk of being hit, so I thought it was the right thing to do to get her scanned for a chip and try to contact the owner. The owner immediately became defensive and said, "Well she's an outdoor cat. She goes by the trees." I again explained that she was not by the trees, but instead right next to the intersection and at risk of being hurt or killed. The owner rolled her eyes at me and left with her cat. I later realized that the owner of this cat is one of the owners of Alchemy Arts, her name is Dayna. It's incredibly irresponsible to let your cat roam freely outside next to such a busy intersection. After further digging, it also appears that Marie the cat was attacked by a dog while roaming outside in 2025 and has gone missing for days before -- further evidence that this cat should not be outdoors for her own safety.

$150 for an hour long reading and none of the people she picked up on were no where near close to…read morethe people I was close to. The same usual generic thing most mediums say "oh I'm picking up on an old man with heart and circulatory issues" or "Im picking up on someone with gerd" or "im picking up on someone that used to smoke". I dont know anyone like that. I did hospice, however, I did private nursing specifically for women with dementia. None of them previously smoked. All women. And none had gerd. No one she described was remotely close to anyone I knew or worked for that passed. The people I wanted to come through were all young (my husband & my son, and my best friend). She didn't pick up on any of them! And I know for a fact my husband and son would have come through. I asked about kids and she immediately asked me how old I am. (Which I saw another review on here that she asked for their age too.) And then immediately after hearing my age said 1 or none. She was very frank and rude about it. I'm 29, I'm not that old. I have since remarried since becoming a widow and currently in the process of having another child. I will admit however, she was able to see numbers that have followed me for decades. She said 8s, 1s,and 3s. 318 has followed me my entire life since i was a child, so I will admit, that was crazy. Everything else was pretty BS. Extremely disappointed. Today was the 7 year anniversary of my family passing away. And all I wanted was to hear from them. And instead I got conned. I do agree with others in these reviews that she should not list herself as a medium or even a psychic. She's definitely more of a life coach and just tells you what she thinks you want to hear.

I am really impressed with Dina and would absolutely recommend her…read more When I first walked in, I was debating which service I should get. She could read my spirit/energy and recommended the Tarot card reading. She could have easily sold me on a more expensive reading but she was honest and knew I did not need it. Immediately I trusted her. We talked about a lot of topics during our reading; I appreciated that it was not timed. One of the biggest takeaways was that I am focusing too much on my personal growth, and what areas I need to improve on in life, and not focusing enough on the growth I have already done. This constant focus on improvement was making me unhappy. I instead needed to take a step back, take a breath, and, well, stop! She told me to put more artwork in my house. Take on more hobbies. Surround myself with more beauty so my soul can feel more calm. Appreciate the relationships I have and appreciate myself. This reading could not have been more spot on, and could not have come at a better time too. A week later, I went to a beachside yoga retreat that had a theme of "Finding your Joy." Except, instead of focusing on what made us joyful, we focused on what we should not do, what skills we were all lacking, and trauma we have all gone through. To have the ability to take a step back, breathe, and tell myself "you don't need this, you are happy, focus on the growth you've already made" made a HUGE difference in the enjoyment I had at the retreat. I think I could have easily fallen into a spiral of self doubt and self criticism over what I was lacking, but instead, I brushed off the negativity and enjoyed my time at the beach and spending time with my friend who joined me on the retreat. I am still taking in this feedback and finding more ways to appreciate myself. I do feel happier and I am working on feeling more grounded as well.

Well, after literally a year of trying repeatedly to book an appointment (they're not so great with…read morefollowing up, evidently), I finally got a reading. Now, I'm not really a believer, but I try and go into these kinds of things with an open mind - but not so open that my brain falls out. And, well, this was a dumpster fire of an experience on every level imaginable. Besides being generally abrupt and unfriendly, the "psychic" repeatedly asked me vague questions/assumptions that were totally off-base: for instance, if there were serious illnesses in my family (there aren't). I gave firm, clear answers, to which she would always tell me I was wrong. I think I would know better than she. She also asked me very presumptuously, "who's the psychopath in your family?" Well, as far as I know, no one in my family is a psychopath, whether you go by the DSM's antisocial personality disorder diagnosis criteria, the Psychopathy Checklist Revised (PCL-R), or the Psychopathic Personality Inventory (PPI). Of course, the question offered her a convenient escape route for her: psychopaths are great at blending in, so if I didn't know of any psychopaths in my family, that's just because they were hiding it really well. She kept telling me that there were evil forces and darkness about to descend on my family (we're currently doing more than fine a couple of months later). She even suggested that an old high school classmate I brought up for fun was among these evil forces (lol). You may be wondering why she kept predicting such doom and gloom. Well, she oh-so-conveniently offers a service to "cleanse" evil spirits from the family. I smirked and asked, "Let me guess: you charge for this, right?" to which she responded, "Of course." I mean, points to her for bluntness about her financial strategy. I flatly refused, telling her I'm not afraid of her nonsense (albeit more politely). She would not stop pressing the issue, and essentially just forced me to take her business card, which I tore up and threw away shortly afterwards. Oh, and to cap it all off? I overheard her on the phone saying that she predicted Donald Trump would win re-election. That alone speaks volumes about her "business," if you can call it that.

Mrs. Lynn is the real deal. I have had readings by a couple other people before, mostly at street…read morefestivals, but they seemed off the mark. Because of this, I went in to my appointment with Mrs. Lynn with some skepticism. I always get the impression that psychics give general information that could apply to any person, because that's just been my experience. NOT THE CASE with Mrs. Lynn -- she was so specific and so accurate that it was eerie. I did a psychic reading combined with the tarot reading, and the information she gave touched on immediate concerns of mine that I've been dwelling on. In addition, she offered advice and answered my questions, so the reading was also incredibly useful and well worth the money. Mrs. Lynn is very kind and gave off good vibes. The space is clean and welcoming. She told me about the prices and specials but said we would do only what I felt comfortable with. No pressure to pay more or add on any other services. You can tell she does this because she wants to help you and share her gift with you. And she DOES have a gift. It was such a great experience and I'll be visiting Mrs. Lynn again someday!

I have watched over the years (since 2014) as Bookends & Beginnings has morphed from a dream into beautiful reality, but it is still the product of Nina's mind and her dreams. The new location next to Fountain Square was cut from whole cloth. It began as a large empty piece of real estate all painted in white--a blank canvas!--and was transformed into what it is today: a carefully planned and executed space on two levels painted in dark teal, gold, and white, with a hand-picked selection of over 10,000 books arrayed attractively and intelligently. (Not to mention a reak carousel horse and a giant paper-maché giraffe.) The striking floor-to-ceiling mural, the work of her two graphic-artists sons, presides over the store and is visible day and night.

Today I attended an online Tarot readers group hosted by Audrey Gilbert Tarot…read more(http://www.audreygilbert.com/tarot). The guest panelist for today's group was Elliot Adam of Elliot Oracle, and author of Fearless Tarot (https://www.amazon.com/Fearless-Tarot-Positive-Reading-Situation/dp/0738766690/ref=sr_1_1). In just the short hour and a half we had with Elliot, he offered up so many insights to fellow readers and Tarot study enthusiasts. Here is just some of that knowledgeshare: ** Don't get mired in hard-fast dyads of the cards--good/bad, black/white, yes/no--each card is neither of those things, and all of those things. ** Cards that appear "scary" are often the cards that promote the most self-growth and self-awareness; we all want The Sun to show up, but we often learn more when someone like The Devil takes a turn in the spread. ** It's all in the cards--delve deep into learning the symbols of each card, and approach the symbol's meaning from the context of its placement in the spread, and the question of each reading. ** As a reader, get out of the rut of being a people-pleaser; set boundaries, and value your time--your readings will be better for it. ** When a card that is traditionally viewed as negative does come up, redirect the querent to a place of empowerment; help them find strength to examine options for overcoming the apparent opposition in the card. ** Get your inner-critic out of the way when you go into a reading; have a confidence to allow your wise sage side a voice, trust it, don't overthink it, and let the reading flow. ** Find courage to put who you truly are as a reader out there; exemplify and model your own skills and gifts. The laws of attraction will attract querents to you who can benefit the most from your approach and talents. ** There are no "shoulds"--"a reader should ..." is not a part of Elliot's vocabulary. Find what methods work for you, and as long as you are invested in developing your own practice and want to help people, your own "should" is just as valid as anyone else's "should." As a newer majority-self-taught student and researcher of Tarot, what a pleasant way to spend part of a Sunday afternoon! I take a secular, analytical approach to Tarot, and very much appreciated Elliot's affirmation that we all add something valuable to the spectrum of Tarot readers in our own way. If you are looking to learn more about Tarot, or seeking out a reader, Elliot's website and book are a great place to start! :-D
