Free psychic readings: what you actually get, and what the free part costs later

A free reading is a sales call. That is not cynicism; it is how the business is built. Nobody who reads for a living can give away the work, so the free part exists to get you to the paid part, and the paid part, at the places that advertise "free", is usually a curse that only they can lift.

I am Don Jacinto Nahual, curandero from Catemaco, Veracruz, and I read cards. I do not give free readings. I do give a free first call, and the difference between those two things is the whole point of this page.

How the funnel works

• The free reading is short and general. It tells you something true enough that you nod.
• Then a shadow appears in the cards. Something is blocking you. Someone envies you.
• The removal is the product. It is priced after you are frightened, and it is priced high.
• The first removal "did not take". A stronger one is needed. The tab climbs.

I have had people arrive at my table having paid four figures over a year to a "free" psychic. That is the real price of the free part.

Three lines that follow a free reading

• "There is a curse on you and only I can remove it." The oldest script in the trade.
• "Bring cash or gold to be cleansed." Theft, prosecuted as such in California.
• "Do not tell anyone about this." Isolation is how the tab keeps climbing.

What is genuinely free, and what is not

A first phone call with me costs nothing, and it is not a reading. It is five minutes in which you say what is going on and I say whether it is something I handle or something a doctor, a therapist or a lawyer should. About a third of those calls end with me pointing the person somewhere else.

A reading is not free, and you hear the price before you sit down. A first cleansing is $97, about an hour, and that price does not move. If you want to understand what a reading actually is, read what to expect from a psychic reading; the service page is card reading.
