Are online psychic readings legitimate?  How can one tell the difference between a real psychic or medium, and someone who is NOT the real deal?  And what should I ask a reader to know whether or not they are really authentic, rather than just putting on an act?

Any of these questions sound familiar?  If you are anything like the thousands of people who enjoy our articles on psychic experiences each and every week, the truth is, you probably crave an authentic experience of your own, right?

But often, being able to discern the difference between a genuine reader and someone who is clairvoyant by “appearance only” can be the difference between a reading you’ll never forget…and one you immediately regret!

With that in mind, let’s look at 3 BIG things to avoid when calling a psychic, especially one you discover online.

1 – Avoid 100% Free Readings at All Costs

Why?  Because while it’s going to sound a bit cynical rather than spiritual, the truth is, while most of the BEST stuff in life IS 100% free…..there is very little that is ADVERTISED as free, that truly is.  In other words, if a psychic or medium or service is PAYING for an advertisement to promote something for free, you can be 100% assured that there is going to be a catch, or some sort of back end cost built in.    You are FAR better off looking for affordable readings that match your budget and having a great experience,  rather than seeking FREE readings and hoping to get something for nothing and being disappointed in the experience.

2 – Avoid ANY reader that promises some percentage of hits or intuitive accuracy

Why?  Because there isn’t any such thing.  I’ve had personal experiences, and professional encounters with hundreds of psychics, mediums, clairvoyants, empaths, healers, energy workers, and spiritual coaches of ALL kinds, and I’ve never had anyone authentic brag about how “right” they are on a percentage basis.  When you see a psychic who tells you they are “98%” accurate or some sort of statistic like that?  Believe me…..they are NOT telling you the truth, and that’s not how psychic abilities work in the real world at all.  (although there ARE individual readings that can be scored as 98% accurate….NO legitimate intuitive will tell you they ARE 98% accurate overall to advertise their services)

3 – Avoid Any Reader Who Does MAGIC rather than mediumship!

A psychic or clairvoyant who promises they can cast a spell or a curse, or can bring your ex back, or can provide some magical service for curing an illness or something similar should also be avoided at all costs.  The truth?  There is a HUGE difference between feeling the future, and even speaking to spirit……compared to the type of “magic” than many con artists and psychic scams promise, especially those who specialize in spells, curses, hexes and that sort of new age nonsense.

(they DON’T work….and are usually a sign of a “spiritual” scam)

The bottom line?  It’s GREAT to be open minded and adventurous when it comes to seeking out spiritual experiences like a true psychic or medium can offer…..but quite another, to be SO open minded that you let your brains fall out in the process!
