"I don't like using angel cards all that much because I don't want to keep bugging angels," said Ivy Jennings in her Lafayette home. Jennings considers herself to be an empath, a person who is sensitive to feelings and vibrations given out by the living or dead."I'll use them on certain occasions to kind of give me an idea of what the heart is looking for and what the soul is needing and how can we get those in harmony," Jennings said. "When your heart and soul are working in harmony toward the samething, then limitless doors are open for you." Jennings uses tools such as palm reading, angel cards, numerology or the vibrations given off by clients' given names to help them understand what is going on in their lives and what options are open."The reading is only as good as you are willing to be honest," Jennings said, "and nothing is ever set in stone."
She said that she helps people discover what they really want.
"I've had people come to me
and say 'What's my next step,' 'What should I do,' " Jennings said.
"Well, I don't know this.
I'm not a mind reader. That's not the way it
works. I have to ask them, 'What is it that you want to do.' "
Other tarot card readers agree.
"My readings are such that
it leaves them with something they have to work on," said Raine Castle,
owner of Castle-BrooksSpiritual Supply in downtown Lafayette.
Castle does not like to do readings often on the same person and feels six months is enough time between tarot card readings.
"If they came back in a
month, they would not have had time to work on the issues that had
cropped up in the reading. If they actually work through the issues,
then they will be ready for a new reading."
Jennings feels that she is
there to help her clients get to know themselves better so in the end
they won't need her help anymore.
"Knowing yourself is being
OK with who you are. That means even the bad stuff," she said. "You
can't just pick and choose the parts of you that you like. You have to
like the complete thing."

Decoding Destiny With the I Ching
How to use this ancient Chinese divination tool to glimpse the future--and to
better understand where you are right now.
