Get Out staff writer Chris Orf gains some insight while meeting with professional psychic Joyce from Scottsdale's Vision Quest Bookstore.

I live my life by the Woody Allen credo “I am not afraid of death. I just don’t want to be there when it happens.”

And I don’t want to know when it’s coming for me, either, which is why I’d never sat down with a psychic before meeting Joyce from Vision Quest.

I was nervous and preparing to spend the next day in bed, but Joyce, who has been a professional psychic for 26 years, immediately put me at ease.

“I find it best if people are focused and conscious of particular parts of their lives,” Joyce explains as she pulls out a deck of tarot cards. “So what part of your life do you feel like you need some guidance in?”

Seeing as I have a stack of unpaid bills waiting impatiently at home, I choose finances. Joyce has me focus on that part of my life to get myself centered in that energy, tells me to ask what is ahead for me financially, then has me shuffle the cards and place them in front of her.

We do this throughout the rest of the 45-minute session for the areas of “career,” “health” and “spirituality,” and it is remarkable how dead-on Joyce is while telling me that:

• I write fiction — which I have told very few people — and should concentrate on a science fiction idea (I have been mulling one over for years, even though I have previously only dabbled with crime fiction).

• I have had a change in medicine recently (which I have, for a persistent stomach ailment).

• I have studied Buddhism (which I did, at length, during a “seeking” period in my 20s).
If the cards and her guides gave Joyce a positive feeling, she would encourage me to explore certain areas of my life more fully.

When my session was over, I was a little freaked out, in a good way, and felt that she and her guides had really explored parts of my life that could use some spiritual guidance, focusing on the ways I can be more positive.

You can’t go into a reading asking “Will I win the lottery?” — it doesn’t work that way — but if you are seeking answers to spiritual questions, a psychic reading may shed some light on a new path.
