I'm a little wary about paying psychics up front to 'clear negative energy' and $75 seems like a lot for a candle!
The only time I have ever paid 'a fee' up front was $200 for a psychic to do 'spirit work' for me. The only reason I did it was that unlimited calls anytime of the day and visiting ( storefront psychic ) were included ( they did candle burning for me also and something with roses ).I was pretty much paying for a life coach. It was supposed to be $200 for 30 days, but since a timeline passed with nothing, she continued to work with me for an additional 2 months until I saw results- even tho she already had my money and could have just cut me off or told me to pay for more. She was also a far better psychic than the biggies at PS and other online places. She said things that made my jaw drop- personal things that none of the others had picked up on. She told me things like my ex would sell our house and move out of state, and sure enough, a month later my ex notified me he was putting the house up for sale and moving to Utah.
She was very genuine. I believe they're out there- it's just hard to find them among all the 'educated guessers and fairytale-feeders' I guess.
Anyway, welcome to the boards and thanks for sharing your story!
