This is the story of my first tarot reading. It took place in Chicago in Spring. It was my mother-in-law and husband who wanted a reading as a meaningful activity they could do together. To help them find a place, I called a few spots off Yelp and got ahold of Evon.
“Hello, this is the psychic card reader Evon speaking.” Evon’s voice was very low. “Yes, I’d like to set up a reading.” Was this a male psychic? I wasn’t sure. We set a time and price.

“If the customer has a hole in her pocket, tell her she’s going to lose money,” my father told me when I asked about his time as a tarot reader. Sometimes he pretends fortune-telling is that easy, is that much of a trick, but I know it means more to him than that: for forty years he has trucked around the poster advertising the tarot services he offered as a young man hitchhiking around America. On it he painted the star card from the Marseilles Tarot deck, a deck designed around 15th century in Italy.

“Imagine it’s 1903 and you’ve just invented the world’s first airplane” or, Backpage Horoscopes
Most Saturdays in high school I would meet my friend for morning coffee at the local, bohemian roastery. In the back was a defunct train track where people from the Mission came to smoke with other regulars: sci-fi aficionados, massage therapists, entrepreneurs and the like. My friend and I, we came for the coffee and the free paper. In the back of the free paper were the horoscopes.
