Hi I’m John McVey and I am a positive, straightforward and patient reader, I have been working professionally for nearly 15 years. During a first time reading with me I want the customer to feel comfortable, so will provide a brief introduction to explain my approach. A client who knows what to expect from the start will feel more relaxed than one who doesn't know what is going on. I'll ask whether they're looking for a general reading or if they have specific questions in mind, then let them know about the card spread I'll use, before moving into the reading itself. My clients often ask about their current path, as they sometimes feel like they're not sure as to their direction in life. I also get a lot of career questions, in particular when they're not sure about "that job offer" or whether they should stay where they are or look elsewhere. I combine my prior management experience with my intuitive feelings as I offer guidance to the client. My favourite tool hands down is my cards, in particular the classic Rider Waite deck, although I'm competent with several others. I believe my insight comes from my "higher self" through the cards. Every time I do a reading, the cards have a unique meaning intended just for that reading and that client and in that moment. I have an interest in symbology and find my eyes naturally find that little bit of the picture I need to get the message in each card. I allow my higher self to take charge, as I find myself moving cards around the table. The messages come from how my attention is drawn to symbols, interpretations and meanings, and from the feelings and thoughts that arrive as I scan the spread before me. I believe it is up to everyone to decide for themselves who they are. We all feel our way through life as best we can, learning and growing as we go. But we live in a world where we get constantly bombarded with perspectives, teachings and points of view. What to believe? Who to listen to? And all that time your answers lie within, not without. I try to encourage people to find that answer within. In my spare time I love sci-fi, am a bit of a Star Trek nerd. I play a little guitar, badly but I love it. My main hobby though is learning. I'm on a mission to learn about myself and my place here. So I read a lot and I'm also doing several online courses related to my personal quest for knowledge.
