About: Hello everyone, my name is Marc and I became a member of the Psychic Source blog writing staff in 2007. As the Operations Coordinator for Psychic Source, I enjoy daily interaction with our advisors. They are just some of the nicest, most down-to-earth people you could ever hope to meet. Prior to beginning my job here at Psychic Source, I’ll be honest, I was a little skeptical about psychics. Because it wasn’t something I could see with my own eyes, I wondered just how accurate talking to someone over the phone could be. Well let me tell you, after working here for just a few days, I quickly learned to open my mind and expand my horizons. I’ve had many readings with our advisors and I am constantly amazed by the information they are able to pull out about myself and the people in my life. So I am here to tell you, I am not a psychic, and I won’t pretend to be one. However, if you are on the fence about getting a reading, give us a try. You’ll be amazed by what you might hear!See Authors Posts (9)

I am excited to share some excerpts from an article recently featured in the USA Today newspaper and on their website. As we all know, the number one thing on the minds of most people is the economy. Retail stores are closing left and right, people are losing jobs, the stock market is in freefall, and retirement funds are shrinking… It’s very scary and tough to imagine what the future holds at this point. Psychics used to hearing questions about love and relationships are shifting their attention to the headlines of the day with the economy. Psychic Source was contacted by USA Today to share their thoughts, and below are the words of Maryann Fiedler, director of Marketing at Psychic Source, and our very own Therese x7215. Read on and see what they had to say!

Anecdotal evidence indicates that psychics, astrologers, palm readers, Tarot card shufflers, numerologists and other paranormal specialists have become the rage as investment advisers and brokers appear clueless. After all, if the times aren’t normal, why not try the paranormal?

“Men and women are calling psychics who never thought they would call a psychic,” says Maryanne Fiedler, marketing director of Psychic Source, an online network of 165 clairvoyants who consult by phone. Many have lost jobs or retirement savings. Fiedler says her psychics don’t give investment advice. “We’re trying to ease their anxieties,” she says, by offering “reassurance.”

Therese Baxter, a Psychic Source fortune-teller, says she tells callers to “be very conservative” about spending and suggests they “gain new skills for the new economy.” She recommends job seekers look at government agencies such as Homeland Security and Federal Emergency Management Agency that deal with other troubles.

Baxter, 52, a third-generation psychic who has sold her “clairvoyant flashes” for half her life, says her line of work has “become much more acceptable and mainstream (because) a lot of mainstream things we were relying on have collapsed. … People are scared, uncertain, more willing to take more of a non-traditional approach to things.”
