Que Sera Sera

A recipe for a great Sunday includes: catching up with great friends (especially if it's been a while since last seeing one another), brunch, walking around Boston, and psychic readings.

Alright, maybe that last 'ingredient' is a slightly uncommon one for a Sunday afternoon... but that's how Adrienne, Katherine, and I wrapped up our Sunday get-together. And it was quite entertaining!

We started our day by brunching at Stephi's on Tremont, a cute little spot in Boston's South End.


We chatted and laughed over our plates (smoked salmon & avocado eggs benedict for me, buttermilk chocolate chip pancakes for Adrienne, and the specialty tuna melt in lavash for Katherine) and wondered what the psychics would tell us. 


We specifically chose to eat at Stephi's because we knew the pshyics' place, The Original Tremont Tearoom, was also located on Tremont Street. What we didn't realize was how long of a street Tremont is. Needless to say, with Stephi's being at 571 Tremont St., and the Tremont Tearoom being at 101, we were able to walk off our brunch.

A mile and a half later and thanks to Katherine's good sense of direction, we finally arrived at The Original Tremont Tearoom. 


We were greeted my a young man who led us up a few floors to the Tearoom. We had booked appointments prior to coming and had separated them by about 15 minutes, hoping to sit in on each other's readings.

Once we checked-in though, it seemed like our reservations and time slots didn't matter so much. They were ready to take two of us at the same time. So Adrienne and Katherine went into their back room with two different psychics. Katherine's psychic was all for me sitting in on her reading and so I followed them.

The room was a decent size, and had tables and chairs scattered about. Rather than each psychic having their own separate room, everyone sat out in this one open space.  I sat at Katherine's table but Adrienne's was only five feet away, making it easy to hear her reading as well.

Katherine's psychic was a very animated older woman with long silvery hair. Using her tarot cards, she expressed what came to her. Apparently Katherine is going to be traveling quite a lot, she is going to help others (possibly through non-profit work), and she is going to be quite wealthy. The woman also said that I am going to be introducing Katherine to her husband (who I believe she said is a lawyer), they are going to have a son (who will be a little wild, and star in a rock band) and possibly a daughter. Very interesting. Guess I'm a matchmaker!
These are just some of the things I remember her saying. Some of her comments seemed a little wacky and rehearsed, while others seemed more specific and in-line with Katherine's life at the present moment.

Intermittently I was looking over to Adrienne's table. Her expression said it all. Her psychic was... not too psychic it seems. Later on, I found out that he thinks of himself more as a "warlock" than a "psychic." Hmm... okay then! From what Adrienne told us afterwards, he just kept trying to ask her questions and based on her answers, would then tell her things. Definitely not good.

Once both their readings were through, it was then my turn. Unlike Adrienne and Katherine though, my psychic led me into a closed room and said that he did not let others sit in on the session. So the two of them hung out in the lobby while I went at it alone.

Sitting at a large, rectangular wooden table, he started with tarot cards and catapulted into my reading from there.

Now, I will say that I have had two readings done in my life prior to this one. And although I do think some truth may come out of them, I remain quite skeptical about the whole 'psychic' thing and find the readings more entertaining than anything else. The two that I previously had were pretty spot-on in terms of the psychic picking up on things about me and my life at present. But who knows if the readings about the future are accurate or not? And if the future does come true as they said it would, who knows if that whole idea of a self-fulfilling prophecy plays any role in it?

The reason I mention my previous 'psychic' experiences is because I wanted to see if all three readings would match-up. I wanted to see if there was anything that all three said would happen.

And what's scary is they did.

My psychic today was really good. He was very detailed and told me things about myself, my personality, my relationships, my job, etc. that were all completely true. He didn't ask any questions to get information and I never prompted him with any facts about me. And when he moved on from reading about the present and focused on the future, I swear his statements were exactly what I've been told twice before by another psychic.

I guess we'll have to wait and see if the future holds true.

Having had our fill of predictions - wacky, incorrect, true, and up-in-the-air - we left the Tearoom. As we set out on our long, rainy walk back to our cars, we recapped on what we were told, laughed about what may come to be, and figured that even if the whole "psychic" thing is a total scam, at least it was fun.





Que sera sera, right?
