She looked so normal. I mean, no crystal ball or turban or creepy, unidentifiable accent. Just, well, normal. But she was about to read the tarot cards for our beloved leader, Simon Cox, do a little light palmistry, and then identify his inner animal spirit guides. Fantastic!
Our trusty director of photography, Joel, was doing his best to get some good shots in Krista’s comfy, but small alcove off the Bodhi Tree Bookstore in Los Angeles. I was helping. (Really, I was. I had a clipboard and everything.) As Simon continues his investigation into why we believe, we were there to find out more about people who look to psychics and card reading for guidance.
And then, with no fanfare whatsoever, she began dealing the cards and talking. It was fascinating to watch because she wasn’t making a big deal of anything or asking Simon any leading questions. She was just kind of calling it as she saw it. No big revelations, but certainly some valid insights into Simon’s personality.
The palmistry was fun because it was determined that Simon’s lifeline runs right off his hand. Yes, you read it here first. Simon Cox is immortal. But the best part was the whole animal spirit guide thing. If you are a fan of this set of cards, I apologize in advance for my rudimentary understanding of how it is supposed to work. What I did understand is that the dog, wolf, badger, and wild boar all represent aspects of Simon’s personality at different times in his life. And as Krista expounded on the traits that go along with those animals, it seemed to me to be remarkably accurate description of Simon.
As we were leaving she mentioned that one of the cards dealt had to do with building and was often associated with Freemasonry. We all had to smile since Simon’s next book will be the companion book for Dan Brown’s “Lost Symbol,” which many people believe will explore the secret society of Freemasonry.
Just a coincidence, right?
