Tonight's kitchen table is set with a crystal ball, assorted tarot cards, divining rods, and Magic 8 Ball -- because it is time for the Tea and Fortune Parlor! This is a game we used to play at Street Prophets when it was a separate website. There really are not any rules... Everyone gets to ask for a "reading" and anyone can give one -- the only catch is that a fee must be charged. Said fee is usually related to the nature of the query and might be along the lines of taking time for oneself, seeing if you can bring a smile to someone, doing something kind for an elderly neighbor, or giving a few bucks to a favorite charity. In short, the fee is to do something good. And the readings? They are for entertainment only and are generally completely made up. That being said, if someone has a problem they would like to air, there are friends here to embrace them and listen with kindness. You can think of this as an agony aunt/horoscope column, all wrapped in one!
I am hoping Ooooh will be along with her snake oil remedies and loggersbrat with her dream interpretations. I'm going to see if I can tempt one bite at a time to come over...her specialty is scrying her housework. Seriously, she sees things in her toilet bowl and in her clean laundry. I don't know how she does it but she is always spot on. Spooky, really!
Me, I've got my trusty divining rod right here. So anyone have a question or need some advice? The fees are worth it, trust me!
