Lately I have had more and more calls for the Occult side of the business. Which is great as that is my main business entity so that makes me very happy. but the calls sometimes are a little, well, whacky even for me.
The other day a person called asking about tarot readings. OK, I do not do them in person since moving to Indy. I explain all this to her. She proceeds to tell me that she is looking for oils and incense but she is not sure what she really is looking for. OK, confused? I did the one thing that I should have used my psychic ability to tell me not to do, I asked her what it was she wanted the oils for.
She tells me that that they have found a confirmed ghost in a house and they are going to get rid of it. That they have been doing this for two years, but the one guy has quit so they do not know what to use to get Casper out of the house. And she needs the products by the next day.
My response was to ask if they had really done this before as if they did not do it correctly they were going to piss the ghost off and make matters worse for the person residing in the home. She laughs and says that they know they were going to piss it off and she starts giggling. I am by this time astonished once more by the stupidity of people that do not have a clue as to what they are dealing with. So, it is now my turn to inform and well, have some fun at the same time.
I asked about the tarot reading. Why does a ghost need one? I mean really? You can figure out that the entity is attached to the home or person for a reason so that would be your past. The present and future is pretty clear-he or she is dead. Please send $25 there is your reading. Now, I know that you can do a lot more with the tarot as I do them myself but come on let us get real here.
I tell her all the things that she needs. Oh she knows all about sage as that is all that she thinks they are gong to use. After I told her the other items and prayers she would need, she was like Oh my God! All that? I laughed and said well you guys are the ghost busters, I have only been in the occult for over 30 years, what do I know? Yes, I was laughing by this time.
The end result was I told her to look in the phone book under metaphysical or occult for a store that offers the mundane mass produced products that sit on a shelf forever. Of course, I told her to visit my store in the future for their ghosty needs.
The bottom line is that talking to people like this confirms that I did the right thing in moving here to get away from those people that want things that they just should not be given. These are the types of people that demean those that actually do rid entities.
I would have loved to have been there while they were ridding the house of the ghost. Would have been entertaining to say the least. I suspect she will call needing an exorcism next.
