Hello, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of the Sedona Psychics here in Sedona, Arizona. I'm Emma, and today we are going to start a new segment here on the podcast. I am going to be interviewing all of the readers that work at Christmas Psychic Center here in Sedona. My first victim of the day is Francine. Francine, say hi to everybody. Hello, everybody. Francine has been reading for a very, very, very long time. So she has quite a bit of experience here. So pretty much I'm going to be asking them some personal questions, some fun questions, and pretty much what they specialize in and everything else like that. Don't be afraid to leave comments if you guys have any questions or anything like that. And again, you are more than welcome to book with any of these readers on the Crystal Magic Psychic Center website as well. So getting started, Francine, we're gonna start by asking you about your your path and your journey. Can you share a little bit about your spiritual journey? How did how did you become, not necessarily become, how did you end up on the spiritual journey of yours? Okay. Well, I always um kind of dabbled with it. Yeah, I kid. We grew up with it. My brother read cards, my grandmother was psychic, my mother was psychic, and it was just accepted that I always got moved. You know, I never really didn't do with each other people. And they always told me I was gonna be a reader one day, but I couldn't believe that. And then when I was in my thirties, in the mid-1990s, I had a visitation of a spirit in this house that I bought that I really wanted. And I had a psychic friend who said it's hard for you to be a reader, and I'm like, uh no, I can't do that. Yeah, okay, sure, whatever you say, right? So you have yeah. I ended up uh getting um a reading job in Igor City in Tampa Faraday which is kinda like Bradley Street in New Orleans. Right. I I'm I'm familiar with Igor. Oh yeah. I actually had business in Igor the couple years prior to that. Anyway, I got hired and my first night I read I did twenty-two beings. Oh wow. For a first time. That's a lot. I mean that was it. I ended up putting all my other jobs and I wasn't here, so I also make up artist for twenty-five years. Okay. He ended up just doing real that's how it got started. I ended up really as you open up to it's we start new teachers and other people and their practice. Right. Yeah. So would you say that first night that that first night you read would you say 22 people? Yeah. Would you say that was the moment you kind of realized when, hey, this is probably my calling? I thought it was pretty good. I was tired, but you know, it was exciting too, because Eva was known, you know, it's a nightlife. Right. Yeah. Like it was everything was going on. And I was reading people for the same three times. So I ended up on the radio, I ended up on TV. Russell Rhodes interviewed me. Oh, really? Okay. Okay. I'm still friends with them now. Awesome. Yeah. So we really stay stayed connected. That's really awesome. I love that. Um, also with that, who were probably some of your biggest teachers or influences along your path? Definitely, yeah, the guy who I told you that earlier, he started main reading. Yeah. Every time you read, you learn. And um, I read a lot. I read a lot, like books. I did a lot of studying, but um this is I can't really say one one person or I think just being part of spirit and and expand and yeah, more in tune and make better at this. Right. Practice makes perfect, right? Other psychics too. Right, yeah, right. That's awesome. Um, what what kind of challenges did you face early on and how did you move through those challenges? Well, after I got working in Abor, I got really busy and my phone never stopped ringing, people would knock on my door at all hours of the night, and I just never stopped, and my brother came out and he was like, How do you live like this? I'm like, I don't know how to stop it. Right. And I stopped. And I I had to learn how to sit down, dude. Yeah, that's a big thing on spiritual spirituality. Yeah. People don't realize how much energy it takes to do it anyway. Right. And everybody wants one, but you gotta learn how to keep that down to it. Yeah, boundaries is a big one. Yeah. I think I I I really want to say that's pretty much like one that I've noticed, you know, for as long as I've done this as well. Like that was a big thing was setting boundaries, not just with the clients, but also with spirit. Right, too. Right. You know, you have to read it to yourself. Right. Right. Yeah, you have no business reading people when they're depleted. They're like you're so good for you the one again. Right, right, definitely, definitely. So moving on from that as well, what has surprised you the most doing this work professionally? Surprise me? I don't know. Um, that's a tough question. Like, have you had any experiences with clients or, you know, people close to you in life that was like, wow, what I'm doing is like really working for these people, or they're taking my information and actually doing something with it. Yeah, I have predicted after pregnancies right to the day, I mean stuff that like goes my own mind. Right. And people call me and like, you told me and I don't remember. I don't remember, but he said, I don't remember. But um the validation is great. It it is surprising to me. Like I have to call my son sometimes about, hey, remember this uh can you believe that really have it? It's it's amazing, you know, even to me. Yeah, I'm part of it, but part of the whole thing. Right. Yeah. I love that, love that. So now we are gonna move forward into your specialties and the type of style readings that you do and things like that. So right now, where you're at in your career with this, what modalities do you really specialize in right now? Really, it's a combination of everything, mediumship with psychically, and just basically it channel it. Okay. And it just feels like right now, mediumship is starting to become prominent. Right. Just coming in no matter what it's like. But it's always been I looked at the cards, but it's always been what I hear.

SPEAKER_02 7:12

Right.

SPEAKER_01 7:12

Because the cards are you're like, well, what is that card? I'm like, don't look at it because I'm not being like that. Right. I get triggered by the program. And then I hear my process. Yeah. I do know you work with destiny cards, do you? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. What what's kind of the difference with those? That's where I can get after it with the pregnancies and the the illnesses that were. Um, they're just basically bicycle plane cards, um, the oldest form of divination and um the ace of aids, and the ace of spades is supposed to be the it's like our desk. And um I find it like very close to astrology, uh, if you had to compare it. Um, highly accurate. But it it can be a little like astrology to me. Like, do I want to know all this? So it's it's good, but you know, I like to mix it up with the other mentalities to keep it who want to have it. Okay. So you kind of use a little bit of everything. Yeah, yeah. I think I think a lot of people do that though. Um, once you have one specialty down, just kind of take in all of these other tools and you just kind of use them, you know, part of that intuition type of thing of like this deck's probably gonna work better for this person, uh, type of thing. So I love that. You're giving you're giving the clients options. Yeah. Options are the size of life. How would you say your sessions are unique compared to other readers? I I can't really say because I think every reader's moving. True. I don't really get a lot of readings. I can only tell you that I think that I'm pretty direct in my readings. Um, I've only spin because my guide is definitely from Brooklyn. So it's probably got that Brooklyn accent attitude. Damn it, you know. I'm not even gonna argue with that guy, you know, but every session is different. So I don't know how to really answer that properly. I I I really wish I could. Okay. Well, I I think too, like you said earlier, every reader is unique in their own way. So I I love that. Is there a type of client or question that you feel especially called to help with? Yeah, I would love to work with the police and find missing people. Okay. I just had this realization like 20 minutes ago, man. And I was absolutely not nothing really would like to see like this. So working with law enforcement help missing find missing people or things. Get yourself out there. They'll find you one way or another. All right, so moving on. Last question for this part is what kind of energy do you hope people feel when they leave a session with you? Uh just gonna be positive and negative, they change. So now we're gonna kind of go into the part where I'm gonna kind of give clients an idea of what to expect when they're getting a reading from you, whether they've had readings before or not. Um, so first one is for someone who's never had a reading before, what can they expect when they sit down with you? Very comfortable. No fear. Okay. I like to I use a lot of humor, obviously, and make people feel comfortable. I think that's most people are kind of afraid. Right, right, yeah. They yeah. I used to have one woman came up. She says, Can you take the death card out and the um the devil? I don't want that in the deck when you read that and say, Wait, the devil card. So you have that and I get it. I think that most people are are very amazed and they're very into it. Especially like I do read teenagers like mothers with a new game. I think it's great. You know, kids are open to this and you love it because it's all about growth and it's all about you're finding somebody. Right, right, right. Empowering and confirming. Yeah. You know, that's that's like my number one thing you say. Focus on inner reading as well. So I love that. Love it, love it, love it. What type of or what does a typical session look like from from big from beginning to end? Um, basically I start your name and then your birthday, and then I give you the cards. I do a little minorality on what where you are right now, uh, energetically with the universe. Then I give you the cards, I ask if you have anything you want to focus on.

SPEAKER_00 11:52

Questions, I got questions. Most people don't want to ask anything, but that's fine. Right.

SPEAKER_01 11:57

And then at the same time, I'm also looking up your SN card, your bicycle card. And then we're doing the cards, and then we're getting into the reading. If you don't have a question, you see what the cards want to have because you bring it in here, right? And then usually halfway through people start asking, you know, and then we start getting compared to the reading and trying to come up where we feel everything feels right, whatever time it takes, you know. I think most times is a half hour is perfect, but we never know. Right. Some people might be don't fool like you need it now. I don't know. Yeah, I feel that's also for the client to kind of speak up and go, hey, I I need more now. Yeah, so they don't feel complete with the meaning, you know, you need to go on. Right, right. But most people don't I don't usually have a problem with that. Um, yeah, I'm always for me, my sound I'm like a fifteen minute, I like give me I just got a few questions. Yeah. And I I don't want to get it, you know. Sometimes that's what you need. Right, right, yeah, definitely. What would you say, Charles C what would you say to somebody who feels nervous and unsure about booking their first reading? Great. I agree, I agree. So now we're gonna kind of go into some wisdom and advice for our viewers and clients. What advice would you give someone who is going through a confusing or uncertain time in their life? I would tell them to come see me.

unknown 13:34

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 13:35

That's if they say, I'm going through a challenging, confusing time in my life, come see me. Right. So I'm guessing it just depends on what's confusing them and what they're uncertain about. It really is, because like if it's a a matter of somebody not like to me, this is how I look at things. It's total wellness, having your physical health, your mental health, you're having your your your heart, your emotional health, your creative health, which most people don't utilize. That I find is the biggest block of all. That's your safe role, that's where you're blocking off. When you're operating from this, you're opening this. And that's where your answers, your opportunities come in. So I would, you know, it has to it's not just one thing because it's all energy too. And so I look at where are they off right now? Like, you need to focus more on your health right now. You're off because this is all, or that's all. And if you're totally off, then you know, overhaul, right? All right. I find that most people are off and you know, they're not grounded. Or yeah, you gotta you gotta really look at it. Um, it's like when you're doing hair. Yeah, true, true. You gotta be a little bit more. You look at her not just in the chair, but you look when she walks in the door. What does she look like? That was her body proportion. What is her style? You know, when she sits in the chair, you have to already know this before you design a hairstyle for her. So I look at it in a way like an artist does. Okay. I use my art that way too. But I find that most people are like they're seeking spirituality, which is the thing that they really should go to first. They have a loss at what does that mean? Right. So I would start with meditation immediately. You know, because that's how you start getting grounded and start that you know, it's easy to get around a place like this and get ungrounded. Very true. Yeah, very, very true. I love that. And that's it. I don't do hair anymore. Yeah, you're like guys, she doesn't do hair anymore. Just psychic readings. What is something you wish more people understood about psychic or intuitive work? That's the amount of energy that it takes. You know, like some people I think, oh you don't do that. Right, right. I've been told that drives me nuts. Right? You're just saying it. Yeah. Not really, but okay. You know, until they experience it, they don't understand it. And so that's one thing. And that, you know, no psychic is a hundred percent right. Just like nobody's perfect. Right. We are still human. I like to remind my clients that sometimes I'm still a service. I'm still human. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, what message do you feel the collective needs to hear right now? That's a great question. That we need to focus on so many on the new. We need to focus this world involving into a new demand chain, a new vibration. And those that are following the higher vibration will be a lot better than those that are gonna follow a low vibration right now. And we're at a crossroads.

SPEAKER_00 16:52

And I think this is why a lot of people are turning to spirituality right now.

SPEAKER_01 16:57

They're starting to embrace it and understand it. And maybe that's actually a really great thing because it has to go that way. Right. Yeah. Right. And it's it's gonna be tricky. But as long as we focus the universe is the number one year right now. This year is terrible. If we don't as we go in and start creating our own next nine years, but it but it also integrates with your own vibrational number two. But I as a collective, we are in the one. So um it's a chance to start over. Yeah. Clean slate, clean slate, pretty much. Yeah. So take advantage of it. Take advantage of it. Absolutely. Um, so this is what I love. I love to ask this question because I almost feel like everybody kind of has a different interpretation for this, but almost it's all connected either way. Okay. To you, what does trusting your intuition really mean to you? Well, don't tell anybody because they're the ones that make you not trusted. Right, right. Keep it to yourself. Yeah. Because we want to tell people. Right. And I think, you know, it shouldn't work things down. You shouldn't document if nobody's gonna believe me. No one's gonna believe me, but I know it's true. Right. But it's nice to have the validation. Yeah, it really is, because it keeps you going. Like I'm not nuts. I'm not nuts, I'm doing this, and it's working, and it's okay. Because it's it's a burden. It it could be a burden, it's a responsibility that we carry. We're responsible for this too. Right. But yeah, trusting, I I find if you keep it quiet, you better love. Yeah. Yeah. Kind of keeping it to yourself. Yeah. I would also I think I'm gonna start documenting things because just for my own validation. Right. Start journaling. Yeah. Just journal journal and all that. Yeah, and start scribbling. But I know. I mean, yeah. I think I'm getting a typewriter. There you go. Go old school. Go old school. I love typewrites. Yeah. That idea is done. Well, that actually leads me to my next question for you, Francine. Now we're gonna kind of get more into like the fun and personal stuff with you. What's one thing most people don't know about you? I'm a really kick-ass view boy playing sang. I love that. I love playing bands with my son. And yeah, I'll always play music, I guess. I I used to be in a band too. We did a cover band when I was in Florida, yeah. In Florida? Yeah. Yeah. Uh huh. Um, in in Riverview. Yeah. Yeah. In Riverview, uh, we played at a couple of the local bars there. Yeah. Uh, but that was really, really fun. It was a fun time. Yeah. I played all over Canales County. Did you? I'm wondering if we ever ran into each other randomly and didn't even notice it. We wasn't um I started playing music in Canales County in the eighties. Okay. Okay. And that was when I first started playing professionally. I was in a new lady fan. And it was great, and it was so much fun. I love that. I love that. So yeah, that and I also like doing too okay. I'm really trying to expand my art career more. Oh, that sounds exciting. Yeah, that's what I like the best. Yeah, I love that for you. Do you have a favorite crystal tool or ritual that you like to do? I love crystals. Is there a specific crystal that you're like that I'm working with? Working with like right now? Yeah. Let's go for it. The multi balls. Really? I'm sorry. Okay. No, I don't care. Okay, so for the people who don't know what that is, kind of give a little explanation for that. They're iron ore. They're metal and they're round little balls. And you see as a good floral, but you hold one in each year and they ground me. They like I work with metal energy, so I'm a psychometrist. I can read your coffee. Okay. Right. I love that. I read fine, you're walking the beach, I'll find the metal. I'm like a metal detector. I'm just confuming metal. No, that's I know. Those were the last ones I bought. Before that, I bought two um neurophorite ones. Okay. I love chloride. Rainbow chloride. Yeah, rainbow chloride. I had a dream of them. And then they had the superfluid. Love that. Love that. Okay. I have I have a very, a very interesting, a very interesting one for now. So think of yourself kind of as a superhero a little bit. Oh, both in time. Right. It's more fun, guys. It's more in time. Now we need all we need like little rings, you know. I love that. Okay. Anyways. See, guys, this is kind of like the energy that we have at the center. Like we we do, we're very professional and and very grounded in very much in integrity, but we also don't have. How to have a good time and we all have a sense of humor. Moving on. Okay, again, so kind of thinking yourself as a superhero a little bit. If your spiritual work had a theme song, what would it be? It would definitely be very Middle Eastern like. Okay. It would be very like dead concept. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 22:17

All right. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 22:19

I can dig it. Yeah. Chanting and the beautiful and Shinado Kana. Okay. I I love the voice. I love I love Gregorian parents. Uh-huh. I like that. Right. Because it's all sacred in some way. Right. Even the Beatles, I mean. Yeah. There's some there's some energy. Yeah. Some energy, some message always behind the hide. But then, you know, we could have Louis Creeman and we could do some big bands. Yeah. Yeah. It depends on the mode, you know? Right. Depends on the day. Well we'll depend on more. Okay. The whole desert thing. I love it. I like it. I like it. What lights you up outside of your spiritual work? People. You like the people? I like people. I do. I like to laugh. I like to be in cities. I'm I can be inspired by art and I'm more of a city girl. Sorry. I am. Yeah. And I get inspired by people watching and things like that. And just driving sometimes. Yeah. Yeah. Just m just not having a plan. Right. I get most of my clarity in when I'm driving or in the bathroom. Do it. Especially this one. Um doing dishes. That too. Yeah. I had a psychic tell me that should when you do dishes by the sink, that's when you receive and I go, right? And I'd love to do dishes I am. Yeah. Leave them, leave them. I'll do them. Just get in the info, guys. Yeah. Get in the info. That's awesome. That's awesome. Um, so we're getting towards the end of our episode here with with the Francine. So I just have a couple more questions.

SPEAKER_02 24:10

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 24:10

Um, is there anything else that you'd like the listeners to know about you or your sessions? So is there anything else you'd like the listeners to know about you or your sessions? Sure. I was born and raised in I was born in Queens, New York without support buckle. We're 100% Sicilian. Um, so she's spicy, y'all. Yeah, but I get a lot of people like that. Like I get a lot of people that are Sicilian, yet, what is Sicilian? And it's great. So I just I always put that out there. And then I also live in Florida and that's where I started to read all of this. Okay. Um, and I've been out here ten years now. And I started coming to Savila in like 1999 and started visiting. So it's always been like my favorite home. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Very familiar with it. Yeah, yeah, maybe. Um, and that's what else? I don't know. That was that was good. That was good. Yeah. Okay. Um, last question. What intention would you like to leave our listeners with today? Intention, words of advice, anything like that? Okay, this is a good question because I pulled the card I started pulling cards with my friends and sending them to I thought it was kind of a nice thing to do, you know. Uh-huh. It was going card came came up almost everybody. Awaken your inner light. Oh, I like that. I like that. So start showing your light, don't hide it, bring it out, and start uh working towards that right now. And also it's about self-discovery, taking the time to yourself right now.
