Bored of going to see another crappy movie on the weekends? Looking to get outside your comfort zone a little bit? Want to prove you’re right that psychics are a bunch of phonies or surprise yourself at how you’re a converted believer? Well this spring, grab some friends and head over to the Original Tremont Tearoom and see just what your future holds!

So back in March I got a Living Social email containing a coupon for a 30 minute psychic reading at the Original Tremont Tearoom. I admit I’ve always been a believer in the supernatural/astrology/everything in between so it wasn’t a difficult sell for me. I purchased my 50% off livingsocial.com, convinced my friend to come along with me and off we went this past rainy Saturday to see what our futures held.

Located right near the Park Street T Stop we made our way up to the 6th floor of 101 Tremont Street, a gorgeous downtown office building, and followed the only voices we heard to the end of a long hallway to a very small, crowded darkened room smelling of incense. A friendly woman greeted us (I’m assuming the owner?) and asked us to wait in the hallway for a minute. After about 5 minutes (in which I made a concerted effort to not talk about too much with my friend in case they were secretly listening in) I was led into the darkened room and introduced to my psychic, Chinoa, a Cherokee Indian Medicine Woman who reads old style using playing cards instead of tarot cards.

Out of three decks of worn out playing cards I was asked to chose one, shuffle and put my thoughts into the cards as I shuffled. Chinoa, was lighthearted and friendly, asking me questions and then calling me “sassy” when I refused to answer or say anything in response except smiling (but I wanted to be as aloof as possible. I mean come on, I had to make sure she wasn’t just playing off what I told her!). Dividing the shuffled deck into 3 piles I selected the first pile to have her read…

Now, I won’t tell you what she told me in the reading, but let’s just say in the first 5 cards she laid out, she told me all the major events that have happened to me in the past few months! Though I didn’t tell her that she was right or wrong, I’m pretty sure my gaped open mouth was a sign that I was totally stunned by her accuracy! Some would argue that psychics are just good at reading people, and that they can say a lot of general things that would apply to everyone but this woman was SPECIFIC AND DETAILED. She talked about my past, my present, and my future. Giving me a paper and pen to write down anything I found particularly poignant, I was a maniac writing throughout the whole appointment. At one point she even yelled at me, telling me I was too focused on writing that she couldn’t read my energy and I had to put the pen down.

At the end she told me to write up all the things she said about my future and hide it away for a year and check back on it to see if anything she said had come to fruition. Then she asked if I had any questions and it was then that I told her that she was dead on and made me a true believer! On a sadder note, while I was completely in awe of Chinoa, my poor friend had a less exciting experience with the psychic she met with. So of course not everyone who claims to be clairvoyant really is… however, Chinoa… you no doubt have a talent!

Either way, my friend and I both agreed that it was well worth the money and a fun “out of the ordinary” way to spend a Saturday! I would 100% recommend everyone going, even if you think your psychic is totally off, the experience itself is enjoyable and it’s great to go with friends and compare stories afterwards. If you do go, I would request Chinoa, because she said things so matter of factly, and there were no generalizations, just specific people, events, and places.
