I don’t know if it was impending motherhood or curiosity, but when my friend Jenna told me her mother would provide a spiritual reading for my unborn child, I said yes.

Jenna had offered several times to teach me how to read tarot cards, but I’d resisted. I’m not usually a fan of the occult.

Jenna’s Mom didn’t use Tarot cards. Instead we sat in a circle and she invited the spirits to join us. She said she saw a guide who would follow my child his entire life and that this was a special child.

My son is thirty-six, and is definitely his own person. He’s artistic, well-spoken, and interesting, with a wicked sense of humor. The work of a spirit guide? Who can say.
