Ooh, My Aura's Showing

We went to a psychic fair last weekend. It was my fault - I have a friend who has a friend who sees auras. She told me that mine was interesting, but never told me any more. I have great fun with these sorts of things, so I was intrigued and frustrated that she went back to Australia without ever explaining. I wanted to know what color my aura is. Aura reading was on the flyer for this psychic fair, so I decided that this was my chance to define "interesting".

I got home from work and dragged a less interested Tony to the bead store. I happily paid my $10 and was escorted into a dimly lit back room. The aura reader was a heavy-set black man wearing a nice black t-shirt and olive green slacks. His name was Bill. He did have an ankh pendant on, so there was some element of the mystical there. We introduced ourselves and the first thing that he mentioned was that he saw the seven dwarves and they looked very excited and cheerful. I wasn't expecting Disney references, but who am I to say that personal symbolism shouldn't encompass pop culture? I did tell him that I am a vet, so a good number of animal references came up. Lots of different kinds of dogs, which is apparently unusual, and he asked me if I'd ever worked with exotic pets (weekly), specifically monkeys (I like prosimians, but for most people that's splitting hairs) and snakes (one to twice a year) and cranes (on this one I've got nothin'). Supposedly it's bad luck to share the interpretation, but if you ask me personally I'll explain what it all meant.

What did I learn? I worked with animals in a past life when I was a man (he seemed to think that the man part would bother me, but who cares I'm a woman this time around). No matter where my life goes I need to learn about politics. And, underneath all of the creatures frolicking, my aura is white with yellow at my crown and blue at my throat. It was fun! I might do it again some time, but I think that I'll do a past-life regression next just to get to know this man that I was :)

Oh, Tony had a reading, too. His spirits were not quite as cooperative, but they did suggest that he eat more garlic.
