Two things...

1. I don't do "touchie-feelie crap." If you get the Tower as your final outcome (the Tower is not good at all to get as a final outcome) then you're fucked, and that's not my problem. I've never given a reading filled with the 2 of cups, the Lovers, the World, the Sun, and all of those happy cards. Sometimes you get what you're given in life, and sometimes you "reap what you sew." I have no control over that.

2. Lottery numbers... I have two things to say about that. A. There's a big difference between cartomancy (reading cards) and numerology. Never having been that great at math, I don't do numerology. B. If I could do lottery numbers, I would have over a hundred million dollars at my disposal. Besides, what in the hell makes you think that if I could figure out lottery numbers all over this country that I would give them to you rather than hopping from state to state making a huge fortune for myself?

In truth, though, and you can believe this or not, it makes no difference, I wouldn't because that is a huge abuse of power. I won't even charge folks for readings, though I probably could considering that there are some really shitty hacks out there, and I really think that I don't happen to be one of them. When you abuse the gift, really bad things happen to you. That's what most Witches believe. That's why we don't all live the sweet life. Most of us are "in the know" about things like that. Those that do abuse the gift either go nuts or suffer penalties that you probably wouldn't understand or believe in.

The final thing I'm going to say about this is that it doesn't matter whether you believe or don't believe. For me, believing in being a Witch is tantamount to believing that I am female. It's not a belief. It's what I am. Your thing is that you've never experienced the situation (or so I'm guessing and I could be wrong). So you really can't say one way or the other. You can't discount my experiences or anything that I may have done. You don't know. Logic and reason are fine. Great. They could also be as full of shit as many people aboard think that I am. Only I can account for my life.
