SPEAKER_03 0:15

Welcome back, everybody, to Ready to Connect. I am Lisa. I'm Ryan. And today we have a really special guest joining us, Mr. John Moore, who's gonna uh tell us all about what he does. We met him at the Astrological Society's um New Age Fair. But before we get to talking to John and bring him in, would love to know what you guys have been up to. And just so happy to say we're back in the recording studio. How wonderful is this?

SPEAKER_04 0:41

Oh, that's exciting. It's very exciting.

SPEAKER_03 0:43

We get to watch Chris do his magic behind his screen there.

SPEAKER_04 0:46

Exactly. Yeah. He's like the wizard behind the curtain.

SPEAKER_03 0:49

That's right. So still not gonna say a word though. Anyway, so Ryan, what have you been up to?

SPEAKER_04 0:56

Um, you know, I haven't been up to much other than I could share something slightly humorous. So um the dog that lives with with me, Watson, uh, he has been so intrigued by the ice cream truck that keeps driving through our apartment complex.

SPEAKER_03 1:12

And he's just before you go any further, can I just say I'm jealous that you have an ice cream truck that comes by because we don't have that.

SPEAKER_02 1:18

Does the ice cream truck carry puppy paws, like ice cream treats, puppy treats?

SPEAKER_04 1:25

That's a good question.

SPEAKER_02 1:26

Because I know the one that goes through my neighborhood brings frosty paws, which is dog ice cream that you get for the dogs, because we had like an influx for a little bit in the neighborhood where everybody had a dog. Yeah. So he would purposely buy frosty paws from the grocery store. So you should check because he might have something for them.

SPEAKER_04 1:44

I should look into that. Yeah, that's a great idea. Um yeah, I don't know, because I I just saw the ice cream truck for the first time today, but we instead we just hear it in the distance usually. Okay. And at first he's just wondering, you know, what's going on? What is this? Because he doesn't know. It's just random loud music playing outside.

SPEAKER_05 2:00

Over and over and over.

SPEAKER_04 2:01

So then today, I was as I was leaving to come to the studio, I heard the ice cream truck, and I'm like, wait a minute, it sounds like it's pretty close by. And Watson likes to sit on top of the stairs that are at the end of our hallway, and he can see out the front door if we open up the door. So I was like, you know what, bud? I think it might be outside. So I opened up the door, all of a sudden the truck was right there, playing the loud music, and Watson was sitting there just tilting his head back and forth, like, what is this? And I'm so then the neighbors probably heard me saying, I'm like, Yeah, buddy, this is the ice cream truck. It's a car playing loud music, and it's playing Christmas music, and I'm like, okay, yeah. I was like, there you go. So it was interesting. Yeah, Christmas music.

SPEAKER_02 2:48

Not July yet. Not even July. Not even Christmas in July. Oh my gosh, that's a stereo. But I would I would check because some some trucks might have or bones or something for him to do that.

SPEAKER_04 2:58

Oh, that's a good idea.

SPEAKER_02 2:59

So it's a good way to socialize him.

SPEAKER_04 3:02

True, true.

SPEAKER_02 3:02

So I guess the ice cream.

SPEAKER_04 3:04

I guess that means I have to get ice cream too.

SPEAKER_02 3:06

Oh darn. Oh darn.

SPEAKER_04 3:10

But how about both of you? Anything interesting happening?

SPEAKER_02 3:14

Oh, well, we went we went up to Newport for the weekend, and the kites were all out, and it was absolutely incredible. I love watching the kites. I don't know something about the inner child that comes out, and you know, right.

SPEAKER_03 3:26

Did you ever fly a kite when you were young? Of course. Yeah, of course. I didn't either. It was hard to get them up there. These are kites.

SPEAKER_02 3:32

These are huge-handed kites. I've never done one of them. One was like a hammerhead shark, and one looked like a blowfish, and um just really kites. It's I think you can tag them like online at kit kites, and they're always there on Ocean Drive. So you can buy kites or you can just go check it out. There's one guy that had a parachute and he was holding on with two hands, and he was on like a scooter, and it was racing them all around the park and stuff. It's a lot of fun to watch. I don't know, it just makes you smile, right? Like with the weather just being so warm and beautiful, it's hard not to be want to be by the water. But with this warm weather, my garden is looking fabulous. I'm so excited.

SPEAKER_03 4:16

And then every time I talk to you, I'm like, I'm I'm so hard at making it because I've been out all day in the garden. I said, pace yourself, honey.

SPEAKER_02 4:23

Well, my neighbor Lisa and I decided we were going to expand a garden. And I was thinking we were gonna do this on a cool day. Yeah, but nope, she knocked on the door and it was 93 degrees now. She's like, come on, let's go make that garden. And I was like, Oh, okay. Can't wait. So yeah, but the garden looks nice, it's no longer just a little patch, it's now an actual oval, which looks much better. Okay, so yeah, hopefully the roses stick and the deer don't eat all the roses before I get to actually see a flower. Yeah, that's a problem in Coventry, Connecticut. The deer really like roses, and I don't usually get to see the flowers because they bite them right off before.

SPEAKER_04 5:07

Oh, that's too bad. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:09

But other than that, it's been uh it's been just doing our thing, right? Yeah, doing my thing. Yeah. Can't wait to get out on the kayaks.

SPEAKER_03 5:19

Right. Trying to enjoy the weather. We um we haven't opened our pool yet. It's set to be opened beginning of June. Oh, nice. So I don't know when this is gonna air, but probably maybe it'll be open by then. Um but yeah, that's a whole process. Have that scheduled to do. But just been enjoying sitting on the porch or out in the back deck. That's one thing I did over this weekend. My younger son came out. Um my husband was away doing a golf uh charity function thing down in Texas, and my youngest son came over on Saturday, and we spent a good few hours putting together some new furniture for our deck. Oh, nice. Which, you know, why is it that everything that you buy that you have to put together uses an Allen wrench and there's no room to actually use the Allen Wrench well? Yeah. And it just, I'm like, my whole hands are just ripped apart.

SPEAKER_02 6:11

Doesn't that mean you got Allen Wrench to tighten everything up? You put it in that safe spot, and you just can't ever find the safe spot. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 6:17

We have a ziploc bag of so many different sizes of Allen wrenches. So anyway, my hands are smaller, obviously, than my son's, and I can get into the little tiny parts, but all that twisting motion, oh my arthritic thumbs are screaming. It sounds like the old lady that I am. But yeah, did all but one fun thing I did, and it's gonna sound so kooky, I did get out to the movies. Oh, okay. I went with one of my other girlfriends to the movies to go see sheep detectives.

SPEAKER_04 6:46

Oh, I heard about that.

SPEAKER_03 6:48

It is hilarious. It is so stupid, but it was so funny. It was a really good time. Of course, I'm really just biding my time for the Mandalorian and Grogu to come out, which is coming out on the 22nd of May. Um, so I mean that's where I'll be. Uh probably not on the day. It's a little crazy then, but yeah, I gotta get there to see that. The whole family does. That's true. But I yeah, yeah. But I'm very excited to have been, you know, having all my coffee out of my Star Wars stuff. And I'm not walking around with my lightsaber in my hand, but you know, it's nearby. Anyway. But yeah, so I mean, it was fun to get out just to go see sheep detectives. I mean, so stupid. I did want to see it. I'm not gonna lie, I did want to see it. When I saw the trails, I looked it. We were out some other movie, my husband and I, and I said, That looks fun. And he looked at me like you're nuts. I'm not gonna go see a movie with talking sheep. But it was good. I liked it. It was a lot of fun.

SPEAKER_02 7:46

I don't know. Sometimes just you know, movies like that, they're mindless and it just allows you to like check out for a little bit of reality.

SPEAKER_03 7:56

Well, you definitely have to check out a reality. Apparently, though, it's based on a book. I did not know that.

SPEAKER_04 8:01

Yeah, I was gonna ask about that. Yeah, I think it was.

SPEAKER_03 8:03

Yeah, um, my daughter-in-law to be, apparently, she knew that, and she had told my son that yeah, she wanted he wanted she wanted to go see the movie because maybe she read the book. I'm like, okay, book. What do you mean a book? Dad it to my other hundreds of books that I read. But yeah, so I mean, other than that, it was just kind of hanging around, enjoying the weather, reading, let my cats be outside, supervised, you know. That's about it.

SPEAKER_02 8:33

Very cool.

SPEAKER_03 8:34

Okay. All right, so why don't we bring in our guest, Mr. John Moore, is here with us today. And we met John at the Astrological Fair, the New Age Fair with the Astrological Society down in Weathersfield.

SPEAKER_01 8:45

Indeed, you guys did.

SPEAKER_03 8:47

Yeah, and uh, I think each of us, well, I know myself and Heather sat with you for a little bit to get a reading from you, and it was really fascinating. So, um It was absolutely fascinating.

SPEAKER_01 8:58

I keep going back and listening, and how there were so many things that you were saying that didn't make sense in the moment, but it all started falling into a storyline, which I think what I usually do is I have people either record with their phone or write it down because we cover a lot of territory in a short 20 minutes. So that's true. That's why I I usually do it that way.

SPEAKER_04 9:21

Right. Yeah, and I've been going to John for years now. Yeah, I've seen you like every January, it seems.

SPEAKER_01 9:27

Seems like I uh stirred you on point as far as that goes so far.

SPEAKER_02 9:32

So there's absolutely so, John, for those meeting you for the first time, who is John Moore behind the titles?

SPEAKER_01 9:42

Okay, what I am is on the uh psychic intuitive. I do a lot of uh media stuff there. I do um tea leaves, I do uh Celtic Runes, which are different from the Norse ruins, that Celtic ruins are messages from the trees versus uh Norse, which are events. I do uh tarot, I do intuitive readings when guides tell me something else that the client needs. I also do something called the um moonology cards. Moon and astrology combined, they're uh by this uh Australian astrologer called Yasmin Boland, and I use her decks there to help narrow down when's a good time to do what at the right time. If it comes up for a certain moon, let's say um we uh pull the card and it's the blue moon, uh, and that's actually gonna be the Sagittarius moon at the end of May on May 31st, and that's like good for long-range plans. So it just depends on the moon and the phase of the moon on that. The other thing I do um is I do uh Akashic record cards. I recently got certified in that there, and what it does is you go and look at the Akashic record cards between that and your guides, and you try to figure out what am I missing? What do I need to tweak? What do I need to fix to get things back on point? So I do that, and something I just had recently there is the um divine masculine because I have a lot of women that come to me, but masculine people that have come and said, What about us? I finally got a deck that gives us archetypes on what you want to model yourself after to uh get the most out of your uh uh events coming up and control over your life. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 11:36

Wow.

SPEAKER_03 11:37

That's really cool. You mentioned many of the different tools that you use. Yes. Um so just curious, you work with tarot tarot, tea leaves, all the tools that you say. What drew you to w working with so many different types of tools? Like is there one thing in particular? Well, I like more than the other to use.

SPEAKER_01 11:56

I like to use a combination because what I feel is by using the astrology, the tea leaves, and the runes especially, it cross-checks everything else. If it comes up the same thing on the runes for the time frame, if it comes up the same thing with the astrology cards, it's the same thing. And if the tea leaves are saying around the same month, then we know we've got things nailed down because they're cross-checked.

SPEAKER_03 12:23

All right, so do you use the tools in a specific order based on the person you're reading for? Or is there one is there a certain time where you may not use one of the tools that you have?

SPEAKER_01 12:35

Uh what I do is I usually use the tea leaves as a general rule. That gives uh people the uh general idea of what's going on. Uh and it's interesting, you see symbols in the tea leaves. Big numbers represent the months. One would be January, twelve would be December, etc. etc. The other thing, too, that's interesting is you see patterns in there. If you see something like a flower, it means empowerment is coming into your life. If you see something like an upright post on the football field and numbers in the middle of it, it means it's a goal-oriented time. Let's say you had an upright post with an eight in the middle. That means August is going to be very goal-oriented. Other things I have are um shamrocks. That is good for luck and timing. Uh, I usually have these up, these come up a lot for readings, ducks lined up in a row, uh, literally in the tea leaves. And it means time to get organized. And if you do that, things go smooth. And then I have little numbers. Little numbers represent the days of the month. If it the little numbers are between one and 31, that's your power day. A power day is when you're in the zone, when things are really working out well for you, and uh you make good decisions on that day. So that's how I use some of those uh symbols in the tea leaves. Continue.

SPEAKER_02 13:59

That's really excellent. That was amazing. Where did you learn to leave read tea leaves?

SPEAKER_01 14:04

Ah, I'm glad you asked that. This is an antidote that's coming in here. Um, what's happening is I was doing tarot for the longest time. I was doing it in Mystic uh at Mystical Horizons, and what happened is I had a client that was also psychic, and he came to me for a reading, and he's and I did a good reading for him. He says, You're not honoring your grandmother. I says, What do you mean? My grandmother did the tarot and all that there.

SPEAKER_03 14:32

She drank tea, right?

SPEAKER_01 14:33

Nope. That's the second grandmother. My mom's mom was the grandmother that did tarot, and this is a little side aside here. She would watch the baseball game, have the playing cards, grab a few cards out, throw it down, turn it over, and look at it when commercial came out. I asked her what she was doing, getting answers to my questions. Then years later, I realized that she was doing the tarot, uh, but in her own fashion, more like the gypsy reading version of it. So I uh started out with that, and what happened is when I was doing this reading for that client that I just mentioned, he said about not honoring my grandmother. I said, the one with the tarot cards in the baseball game? No, no, the one from Ireland that uh would have her girlfriends come over, have a cup of tea, and then she'd uh say, Okay, what's on your mind? Give me your cup, and then she'd look at it, and that's where I got it from that. It skipped a generation. My grandmother's read uh tea leaves on my dad's side, tarot on my mom's side. Then my mom didn't want to do it because it made her nervous, so it skipped a generation to me, and that's how I wound up with it.

SPEAKER_02 15:48

That's beautiful, that's absolutely fascinating.

SPEAKER_03 15:51

I I tell you, when I sat, I was most fascinated with the tea leaf reading because yeah, I look at these tea leaves and you're seeing numbers, and I'm not I don't see that, and I'm just wondering like how do we do it?

SPEAKER_01 16:04

Yeah, it's like scrying in water, it's like letting your mind just drift and you start seeing patterns. A lot of things, whether it be the tarot or the uh ruins of stuff, I see patterns, and then I put the patterns together for the client, and then I give them the guidance and then let them run with the ball afterwards on making their decisions. I give them the tools to make things better.

SPEAKER_03 16:28

So the symbols that you see on a tea leaf sometimes are shown in your mind's eye more than in the actual tea leaf itself.

SPEAKER_01 16:34

It depends. Sometimes it'll be very obvious, sometimes it'll be in your mind's eye.

SPEAKER_02 16:39

Okay. So leaning on the synesthesia kind of part of the psychic intuitive that you are where you can see the imagery and get all its messages from it. Yes. I find it fascinating because when I found out you were going to be at the fair, Ryan really heavily promoted you. And I tell everyone who will listen. Am I actually gonna get to sit and have a spot of tea with you? Or how is this gonna work?

SPEAKER_01 17:04

And watching your process was so the reason why I do a four-step one is because of my grandmother. That's how she did it, and that's what she told me to do, guide-wise. Plus, the reason why we stopped drinking it is it was because of COVID, and people never really got back into it, and it made much more sense that it was more sanitary.

SPEAKER_02 17:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:26

As long as the person was putting their tea leaves into the cup with their fingers and putting their energy in. That's the main important thing.

SPEAKER_02 17:34

Oh, I just found it so fascinating how you did a dry dry leaf reading, and then once you put the spot of water in there, and then so when you swish it, are you honoring like the directions or are you creating a spiral?

SPEAKER_01 17:49

What's happening is it's taking a mind of its own when I uh add the water, and basically I'm just following the instructions that my grandma gave me from the other side, which is let it land where it is, when it stops moving, read them, and then dump it and see what's left over, just like you would with a cup of tea there. Read those, and then finally, what I did is I take the last one here, which is the uh the saucer, and tip it on there, and that way by doing the four-step method, we wind up getting a lot of info.

SPEAKER_04 18:25

Wow, incredible. It's definitely well rounded. Yes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:29

I I have to say, when I sat with you at that New Age fair and they give you excuse me, was it 15 minutes? Do we get 15 minutes? 20 minutes? 20 minutes. It it seemed too short a time. Oh, yes. Um, and I was curious because you had so many of your tools out in front of you, and I'm like, how is it gonna get through? And you were just like a locomotive train going through it, and I'm curious to know. Um, this was at a fair. Yes. So do you and you do you see people privately not at fairs? Yes. And do you keep the readings to 20 minutes? Are they very do they look the same or do they look different?

SPEAKER_01 19:06

Sometimes I vary them. A lot of times when they're doing uh privately, they want a half an hour, so I can take it a little easier, get a little bit more detailed. It's not like I'm having to go a mile a minute uh like I'm trying to do a fast commercial advertising and trying to jam it all into 20 minutes, but that's why I speak so fast. It's just to get everything in so nothing's missing, and that's why I always leave a minute or two at the end. Is you're always gonna say, I thought of another question. That's why I leave the minute, and then we can concentrate on that. That way the client goes away happy, he's got a general reading, and he got his answer to his uh question that was his burning question.

SPEAKER_02 19:50

I know when I sat with you for the first time, it was an amazing experience for me. Something I have not experienced the same way that you do. But when you see someone new sit down with you, what what do you want them to experience? What are you looking for them as a first-time experience to show them your amazing gift?

SPEAKER_01 20:09

What I want to do when they sit down is I want to be able to give them the tools that when they leave the reading, they're empowered. They're able to take the facts, they're able to run with the ball, they're able to uh take control back of their life in a positive manner. Sometimes they come and they're uh having some control issues where they're trying to get a handle on things in their life. And I can tell them the timing. This is when it's gonna be good to make this move or that move. And I can uncannily it seems to uh work out astrologically uh that um when they make those moves at that time, it seems to put them in the right place at the right time. And that's basically a lot of uh what I'm doing. Putting a client in the right place at the right time to take the power back.

SPEAKER_04 20:58

Yes, yeah, you did that. Absolutely. Absolutely achieved that. Yeah, yeah, I know I felt that like the first time I had a reading with you, and even the second time, like I just felt it where well first I listened back to it afterwards, wrote down all the significant dates and what to look out for, and and it happened. And and yeah, I felt empowered after hearing the messages from you.

SPEAKER_01 21:19

The other thing I tell clients too, uh, when they get the info there and it's like a new change that's positive, I have them do what they call mirror talk. Because you trust yourself the most when you look at yourself in the mirror. That's somebody you trust. So when you're saying these positive affirmations on this new information you have, what's happening at that point is like a habit that becomes ingrained after 21 days, you do this enough. You now shifted your mind frame into a positive area, and you're able to uh take care advantage of all the benefits coming your way.

SPEAKER_04 21:57

Such a great idea. I feel like I need to talk into. A mirror more often.

SPEAKER_02 22:01

Absolutely. Absolutely. Well, the mirror has multiple multiple dimensions, right? So you can speak to yourself in different layers of yourself. That's a good thing. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:12

Plus, like the eyes being the windows to the soul, you're looking into your own eyes.

SPEAKER_04 22:18

Absolutely. Um, regarding uh giving messages to clients, have you ever delivered a message that even surprised you? Uh if you can talk about it.

SPEAKER_01 22:28

Yeah, I did have one that uh I did try to tell them they needed uh to uh get into a uh women's shelter because I really felt uh danger for them and all that. Oh wow. And uh the one that came in afterwards, the husband that was uh uh very uh arrogant and egotistical, I saw his empire crumbling, his uh real estate empire uh crumbling. And uh the reason why she was uh nervous about that is he had uh threatened to take the kids and uh and speared them off to relatives in France. Now here's the the kicker: these people were just on their way through from uh uh Fairfield County all the way up to Providence, and you'll never guess who they were. Jennifer and Photo Stewis. I told her she needed to get away from him in 2014 and she didn't. Wow, that's one of the more interesting ones. Wow, and that's the only thing that wasn't in the trial on anything about him taking the kids away and trying to uh put them with relatives in France. That neighbor never came out. Wow. The other one I did that was an interesting case is I had a former police officer, and uh they were uh wondering about a missing person. And uh I was reading for them, I says, What's wrong? What's wrong? Something's wrong here, and all that. And then I found out afterwards, I says, they're still not bound, they're somewhere near a uh divot or something there not far from the property. And the cop that was a Windsor cop, ex-Windsor cop, told me that uh they were looking for the girl's body still, that she'd been decapitated, so that's why I kept going like this.

SPEAKER_03 24:16

Up to your neck. Yeah, yeah. Our listeners, just so you know, uh John is kind of motioning to his neck. Yeah, yeah. Wow.

SPEAKER_01 24:22

So that was one of the more interesting cases.

SPEAKER_03 24:25

So you've worked with police before.

SPEAKER_01 24:27

Yep, uh, she was an ex-cop. She's still hoping that one of these days uh there I still feel it's somewhere uh either underneath uh the sidewalk near uh the house, or it's one of those cases where um somebody's buried things in the basement and put cement over it. Oh geez.

SPEAKER_02 24:48

Wow. Dan, when did you first realize that you had this gift? When did you realize that you knew you had something and perceived the world in a different view?

SPEAKER_01 25:01

Got it for you. Uh nine around 1990, uh, what happened is uh I was doing the tarot for myself and it seemed to work out well. So what happened, how I got into it professionally, is uh my uh first wife's friends used to always have 1980s themes parties. So they had me bring the tarot deck and I'd read for them there. And then finally I had another friend that made me go down to Mystical Horizons and Mystic and said, You should try this here. So I auditioned, and that's what you got to do in any uh of these places, uh audition. And we feel that the information is pretty much on target. Okay, you're in. So that's how I got started doing the tarot, and then uh after a little while I added the um Celtic ruins in. Like I said, the Celtic ruins are different than the uh Norse, Norse's events, Celtic is messages from the trees, and I got a couple of uh projects on the back burner that I gotta get unlazy and work on, like making the American version of the uh Celtic ruin readings um and work on a book on that and maybe do a um a book for the tea leaves uh to kind of uh give the most basic symbols if you're trying to get into an introductory thing. I already even got a name for the book picked out. Nice T for two and T for U.

SPEAKER_02 26:26

Oh, I love it. You're gonna have to let us know when you launch that. So Mystical Horizons is no longer in Mystic anymore, correct? No, but they're now in um East Lime. East Lime. If I for anybody listening, in case you go down to Mystic looking for Mystical Horizons, it's not in Mystic anymore. It's now in East Lime.

SPEAKER_01 26:46

And now I kind of do a circuit. I found that just staying at one place wasn't enough. So I do I haven't done that in a while uh because uh I found other places that were uh hiring me more regularly. Uh I go to Mundasi's in East Windsor.

SPEAKER_05 27:03

Oh, nice.

SPEAKER_01 27:03

I go to uh the Red Barn in uh Durham. Uh every once in a while, Willowbrook uh Health Center uh has a uh one in uh Cromwell. And I'm going to be doing uh one at the end of June um in Southington, and then I'm gonna be doing uh I don't know if you ever heard of Charles Rosenay and Paricon.

SPEAKER_02 27:27

No.

SPEAKER_01 27:28

Oh, it's a paranormal convention, and they're doing this in Bristol, so I'm gonna be at Paricon 5. Oh, a paranormal convention.

SPEAKER_05 27:37

What is that?

SPEAKER_01 27:38

Uh that's uh going to be um, I'd have to get my phone out and get you a date on that. Let me just uh uh you ask another question while I'm pulling that up for you.

SPEAKER_03 27:48

Okay, while you're pulling up, well, you're you're kind of answering some of the questions I had about what's next for you, John. Okay, actually it sounds like a book, but I do have a question, and this is just more specifically of my own interest when we talk about the runes. So I'm very drawn to runes, being I have a ger German background, and so they speak to me, the Germanic runes, the ones that um they're not Celtic per se. Um so when you were throwing the Celtic runes, it felt really like coming home because I do identify with a lot of Celtic things. And is the Celtic rune something you came across or something you developed?

SPEAKER_01 28:25

Nope. Actually, uh it was already developed. I just added my own spin on it. It was done by uh an uh author called Richard Webster, uh, O-G-A-H-A-M-S, Ohums, Omens, and ruins. And he uh has the whole book on it. It's fairly uh beginner to medium there, and I just added uh the seasonal ones like boring from the tarot, like sp spring, uh fall, winter, and stuff. And uh I just am making it my own, and I'm going to Americanize it and use American trees versus the European trees when I come out with the book ideas.

SPEAKER_03 29:03

So when you say you're gonna do an American rune set from the American trees, are you channeling a message that goes with that rune, or are you just finding American partner to the Celtic tree?

SPEAKER_01 29:16

Both, actually, both. I'm gonna use some of their uh standard things, plus whatever I'm picking up. Like, for example, uh they use the um uh quaking aspen, uh which is like the tower card in the tarot deck. So when you get that, it means there's big changes on the horizon. But back east here, the tree that we use is the poplar. So they're straight up and down, and if you get a nasty storm, boom, crash and they're over. Oh, I see.

SPEAKER_03 29:46

So you look for the similarities, and then that's how you kind of say that message would go with this particular tree.

SPEAKER_02 29:52

I love that you refine the ability that you have to do this and put it towards what's gonna fit where you live.

SPEAKER_01 30:00

I that's uh well, it's just like when I'm reading for clients. Let's say they got an idea, a business idea, but they don't know how to get into it. I find out what's your other strength you have, and I make it so you have a niche, a niche thing. You might have somebody doing the same thing with runes, but they will be doing ones that will be for health versus doing it in general. So I try to uh do a niche thing for people, help them to to carve out their own thing.

SPEAKER_02 30:32

So what method do you feel closest to when you speak of all of these different methods that you have inter intertwined together, which is amazing. Which tool is your baby? Yeah, what's the baby?

SPEAKER_04 30:45

Which one's your favorite?

SPEAKER_01 30:46

Well, T. Lee's uh number one, uh the uh Celtic Ruins number two, and the astrology cards because they seem to dovetail on all the uh uh timing, so that's why I use those particular ones.

SPEAKER_04 31:02

I love it. And uh what keeps you passionate about this path after all this time?

SPEAKER_01 31:08

Ah, what keeps me passionate on it is I'm able to not only read, I make a little bit at it, but not a ton. But the thing is um it's helping the client get their power back, feel empowered, feeling like I matter, what I do matters. And what happens is when they feel that way, then they become passionate about their new niche and they succeed. And that's half the reward there. That's true. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 31:39

I'm sure you run across people who are just starting out who maybe have discovered their intuitive gift. What advice do you give to beginners?

SPEAKER_01 31:48

Don't give up. Just keep at it, keep at it, keep at it, because you know, it's like riding a bicycle. The more you ride it, the smoother the ride. And uh it's like uh that's what kept me going. Sometimes I would be like, How am I gonna do this? I had occasionally where somebody put so much tea leaves in there, I couldn't, you know, see it at first, and then all of a sudden the intuition kicks in and says, I started seeing the patterns. So uh the patterns, uh whatever cost it, each each individual person helps them to uh connect.

SPEAKER_04 32:25

That's really cool.

SPEAKER_03 32:27

Here's another question I I have, um, being that Heather and I are both we we do psychic readings for uh our business as well, and we do energy healing, and and Ryan's an intuitive as well. But um we do certain things to make sure we're keeping safe and grounded. What what practices do you use to keep your own energy safe and to keep yourself grounded as you do this work?

SPEAKER_01 32:50

Okay. I am uh like I I don't advertise it, but I am a Reiki master. So what I do is I clear the space for the each in between each reading, and I then I use, and they don't always teach this at all, the Reiki things is disconnect. Think of your arms like swords, cutting the connections, then taking the energy and grounding it back into Mother Earth, and then that lets you start fresh every time.

SPEAKER_02 33:15

Beautiful. It's a it's a lot, a little bit of like what I was taught in shamanism, where you envision the mighty oak, and from their feet you bring the roots from their feet to the ground, and their trunk becomes stable, and then their tree can blow in the breeze. I I love that I love the way you described the grounding.

SPEAKER_01 33:35

You're on point with your point as well.

SPEAKER_02 33:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 33:38

I think we all have our own visualizations or techniques that we use.

SPEAKER_01 33:41

But here's the thing: there is no right or wrong way. No, even when people are grabbing the ruins, they say, Oh, I dropped it, or I picked out three cards instead of two, I tell them it happens for a reason. There is no wrong, it's synchronicity, it's being able to say, Okay, we needed this extra card or this extra ruin to give us clarification.

SPEAKER_04 34:04

Absolutely. I I like to say, I mean, we get the messages that we need to hear. Yes. So if, as you said, if it's an extra card or something else getting pulled out or not, then that's just what you need to hear. Yes.

unknown 34:17

No.

SPEAKER_02 34:18

We tell our students all the time to just keep practice, practice, practice, trust, trust, don't doubt. Trust, don't doubt. You know, and I'm sure you're telling everyone.

SPEAKER_01 34:27

The other thing too is uh if they get anxious, just tell them to relax into it because sometimes they get overwrought, which you probably have seen. Yeah, and what you tell them once they relax into it, all of a sudden the light bulb goes off, and boom.

SPEAKER_04 34:43

Yep, that's me. I've done I'm I'm known for being too into my head. Don't feel bad.

SPEAKER_03 34:50

I might be guilty of that too sometimes, but yeah, but definitely wrong. It happens.

SPEAKER_01 34:54

Yeah, sometimes I can come across like that myself, but that's because I've got like a Virgo rising and a Virgo moon, even though I'm a Libra Scorpio cusp. So the Scorpio gives me the intuitive ability, the uh Virgo uh rising and moon give me the nuts and bolts, ducks lined up in a row thing. So I it's like trying to keep uh the client on point and getting all the answers we can squeeze into that 15 or 20 minutes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 35:24

And do you find, like Lisa and I find that we'll when we run psychic circle or when we're doing teaching psychic class, we stay quiet because sometimes what happens is if we say something, everybody else thinks they're wrong. And I I know as a as a psychic medium that it's so important because everybody's educated differently, raised differently, sees things differently, and we encourage everybody to you know use your words, right? And I you must do this with your work, like you're reading off their energy, right? And encourag encouraging them to really put it into perspective, not just what you're saying, right?

SPEAKER_01 36:02

It's in other words, it's like meeting them at their own level, yeah. And letting them uh grasp it and own it.

SPEAKER_02 36:11

Right. Because there's no wrong way. No, we always say guidebook, not rule book.

SPEAKER_03 36:16

Yeah, when we teach people.

SPEAKER_02 36:17

And there's so many people out there that hold these books and they're like, it's the rule book, and we're like, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_01 36:24

You may start out with that, but I called the books the training wheels. That's right. Once you've done, you feel comfortable, throw the book away. Go with your feelings because you're gonna be more on target than just the standard uh classic reading.

SPEAKER_03 36:40

Yeah. I I'm curious, this is uh off the question list here, but I'm just curious because you talk about writing the books and developing a ring set. Do you actually take on students and teach them how to read tea leaves?

SPEAKER_01 36:52

Yes, I do. I haven't done it in about a year, but I did for a while at the Red Barn. I might try to get something going for August for tea leaves and room reading. I give handouts and all that to kind of give you the basics on it there. And then what we do is we use at least about a half an hour to class where we actually practice. We don't just sit up there and be the talking head. Okay, now it's your time. What do you see in the leaves? You see this and this, do you see anything else? And then they start seeing things, and then it's like, see, it's not as hard as you thought it was. You're making it more uh difficult than you have to.

SPEAKER_03 37:32

I wonder if a clairvoyant would have much easier time with tea leave reading because it sounds very similar to scrying, and that's very much a clairvoyant activity. And not being clairvoyant myself, primarily, I wonder if I would struggle with it a bit. I it'd be interesting to find out.

SPEAKER_01 37:48

Well, actually, when I see these things, that isn't but a clairvoyance when you're scribe. So that's my ability added in there. And uh, once in a while, if I'm missing something, my grandmother, Claire audience will say, You forgot this. I just look, okay, you're the elder, I'm not gonna argue with you.

SPEAKER_02 38:10

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_01 38:12

Um, what do you wish more people understood about this work? That uh it's just another uh way of getting uh facts and uh learning how to empower yourself. You don't always have to uh go through channeling standard channel methods. Sometimes friends are good, sometimes the therapist is good, but you know the thing is sometimes your best advice can come from you if you learn to trust and believe in yourself. And that's what you as mediums and uh intuitives are teaching the clients. You're learning teaching them to learn to trust, even if they don't wind up reading for anybody and it's just reading for themselves, they start keying into the subtle things that they might miss. They start seeing the patterns.

SPEAKER_03 39:03

You know, if enough of our students hear it again and again, they start to really take it in and trust, but they need to hear it again and again.

SPEAKER_02 39:09

I know some few people it's taken a little longer than they'd like it to, but yeah, and then when they get it, it's like you see, like you said, those light bulbs going off, and you know, um thinking, am I making it why am I making it so hard on myself?

SPEAKER_01 39:26

Oh yeah, and then then it's like it's like that old thing with the V8. I could have had a V8, I could have gotten it earlier.

SPEAKER_02 39:39

Exactly. What role do you believe intuition plays in like everyday life and just like in a spiritual practice?

SPEAKER_03 39:46

Or even beyond a spiritual practice, yeah, just every day. Do you use that intuition?

SPEAKER_01 39:51

With intuition, it kind of helps if we listen to it to keep us out of trouble because a lot of times what happens is we uh if we get too emotional or overthinking something, we want it so bad. But if we hear that little voice saying, it's not a good time right now, or I don't feel comfortable about this situation or this person, it turns out nine out of ten times it's right. It's like that sometimes I've been late for things on the highway and stuff, and I've been, you know, grumble grumble. And it turns out later on, if I'd been there, I would have been that car in the accident. So, you know, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not uh getting so grumbly anymore in my old age. It's just accepting, okay, thank you. I appreciate being in One Piece.

SPEAKER_03 40:39

Right, right. Yeah, I think well, um, we're gonna uh wrap this up, this part of our interview, um, with, but before we end, John, could you share with our listeners how they can find you? Now you talk to you be at Mandazi's the Red Barn, but what's your contact information? If somebody just wanted to contact you for a reading, or where can they find you?

SPEAKER_01 41:00

Uh I'm at uh uh John Morse Psychic Intuitive uh is my page on Facebook. I have an email which is Oak and Holly16. That's O-A-K-N-S and Nancy Holly16 at gmail.com. And my phone number is 860-638-8911. And uh even though I read at these fairs and stuff, if in between the fairs a client needs it, I can do a phone reading because I've already had some experience with them. And it's just did one of these here that's like in uh bio uh engineering I was doing for and they uh went to the West Coast and I let them know that within the next six months there will be one further back east around the Chicago area. So I says, take the job for now that you got in Oregon, but keep your options open and negotiate like a year or something so you have a not just a little gig but a bigger thing.

SPEAKER_02 42:08

Audience. Wow, do you do do you do these readings through Zoom or some form of video um conferencing if somebody couldn't get to you in person?

SPEAKER_01 42:19

I I do do it through FaceTime. Okay, so I use FaceTime for that there. I wish I knew a little bit more technical on uh how to set up like a Zoom or a YouTube channel or something, and maybe uh Well, you are at Artist Haven Media, and these are the guys.

SPEAKER_02 42:36

These guys know how to set up a YouTube channel. Yeah, we can help you out.

SPEAKER_01 42:40

So maybe you guys can get me on point, sure, and then we'll be able to help uh more people take control of their lives and be more dynamic for themselves.

SPEAKER_03 42:51

So, John, are you gonna be at the next New Age Fair in June?

SPEAKER_01 42:55

Yes, I am. Okay. Actually, I can give you a quick rundown here on the schedule. Okay. June, we have okay, let me get the uh thing up here. Here's June. I'm going to be at the uh ASC New Age Fair from 10 to 4 in Weathersfield on June 7th. I'm going to be at the Red Barnes Psychic Fair on June 14th from 11 a.m. to 4 a.m. I'm going to be at the uh Mundasi's again from 10 a.m. to 5 a.m. on June 21st.

SPEAKER_02 43:32

Maybe 5 p.m.

SPEAKER_01 43:33

Yeah, 10 to 5 p.m.

SPEAKER_02 43:34

I hope you're not working at 5 a.m. No.

SPEAKER_01 43:38

And then the other one I have is in uh Rocky Hill. It's the Crystal Ball, the one that's at night there, uh Friday and Saturday night, the 26th and 27th. And finally on the 28th of June, I'll be at a uh uh Southington Fair uh on the 28th, uh uh near the center of uh Southington, and I'll put more detail. Out on my page for that.

SPEAKER_03 44:02

Did you say the Rocky Hill Crystal Ball?

SPEAKER_01 44:05

Yeah. What they do is it's these two people and they make nighttime fares, so it's like Friday and Saturday nights instead of during the day. And so uh people can come out, they could they have people selling their wares, you know, like uh like uh herbs and oils and the jewelry and stuff, but you also have the mediums, you also have the uh tea leaf readers like me, you have uh people that uh read with um um stuff like uh I lost my train of thought, sorry.

SPEAKER_02 44:44

Just a just a regular astrological fair or psychic fair, but it's held in the evenings more so than during the day. Yes. So that's lovely. It's actually kind of nice to do that. It's actually a great idea.

SPEAKER_03 44:55

They don't want to give up their good days. They like to go out at night.

SPEAKER_01 44:58

We usually give them a lot of younger people for that, like about your age. Wow, okay.

SPEAKER_03 45:02

Well, we appreciate you being with us today, John, for our interview. For uh, you're part of our dynamic people uh series. And um, for those who are our Patreon subscribers, we have a special treat because John has agreed to allow us to film him doing some of his skill set, which will be our bonus content for our Patreon subscribers. So, John, thank you again for being with us.

SPEAKER_01 45:24

Thank you for having me.

SPEAKER_03 45:25

It's been a pleasure, and for all our listeners out there, um, we hope to be in your ears next week.

SPEAKER_01 45:30

And also the other thing I wanted to end on is uh believe in yourself, trust that gut feelings, they'll keep you out of trouble, they'll get you back on point, they'll let you take your power back. That's what it's all about.

SPEAKER_02 45:43

You're amazing, John.

SPEAKER_03 45:44
