A Visit at the Sibyl’s Desk
Last week I went on vacation to Strömstad, which is a
small townon the Swedish West Coast. Sometimes going
on holiday I use tolook for activities and so I did last
Saturday, as there was noweather for the beach. Approaching
Strömstad by car, I’d recognizedan advertising poster about a
Medical Health Fair taking place onJuly 5 and 6, 2008, at 10:30
a.m. and 18:00 p.m. It seemed excitingvisiting the fair. I parked
the car on the parking lot just outsidethe entrance of the upper
secondary school, where it was taking place.At the entrance I
asked the woman: “How much is it?” She answered:“The entry
is Swedish Crowns 100,-. I paid for the entrance andstepped inside
the premises.I was lucky visiting the fair on Saturday, because
there was arunning race in the city core, which was the reason,
why there wasn’tso many people attending the fair. It was very
hot inside the premises,but the atmosphere was calm. I was very
interested in what they hadto offer, so I went around somewhat
amused and curious having a lookand there she was. I recognized
the woman’s face at once. The womanwas sitting in front of a desk
offering her services, telling you about yourfuture and back-ground.
Attending the Medical Health Fair last yearI’d visited her. Her name
is Tina Taylor a professional medium. Whatstory was she going to tell
me this time, the same or another one? Thesibyl glanced at me as if
she recognized me. There was a great manyNorwegian people queuing
up in front of her desk, eagerly to hear herstory-telling. I’d to put my
name on a list to stipulate visiting-time.At last it showed to be my turn.
I paid Swedish Crowns 100, - for aten minute visit. During my visit at
Tina’s desk, the sibyl’s desk, thefollowing dialogue was held:

The sibyl: “Instinctively, I think I know you. Have you beenvisiting
me before?
”I: “Yes, as a matter of fact I’ve and now I’m curiousabout what
story you’re going to tell me this time.
"The sibyl: “How nice seeing you again. Would you please hold outyour
hands and put them into mine. I'll tell you more about your
future as well as back-groung."At the same time she closes
her eyes being quite fora long time before starting to speak
again.“As you see, I’ve got some Tarok-cards at the desk in
front of me. Now I’d like you to point out two ofthem.”
I: “Yes, I choose the Tarok-card to the extreme leftand the
other one to the extreme right.
The sibyl: “Historically, the Tarok-cards tell me, that in 1646 you were
a woman clergyman at the profession,who sentenced a lot of
people to death for witchcraft. People were burnt at the stake,
even if there just wasa mere trifle, as for example a beautiful
girl having asmall birth-mark at her left hip, which was considered
as a symbol for being a witch. At that time people, was condemned
even if being innocent. The with-trial was often being started by
envying and questioning people. Then it was fulfilled by the priest
condemning the poor creatures to death for witchery."

“Further, at the sixteenth century you entered amonastery.
Taking the vows you executed some reallygood needlework, when
giving aid to refugees. You did a nice job very alike Mother Theresa’s
and was well-known for it.”

“In the end of the seventeenth century you wereworking as a school-
teacher helping children to readand write. As a teacher you were
very popular among the children, who loved you very much."
I: “I see, that according to my back-ground I’ve been upto a great deal
of different thrilling roles. I find it an awkward situation during the
witchery having been such a cruel person. You see, I like people
very much, being an emotional person. It was a sad story you’re
telling me. However, at that time it was different as people weren’t
as informed as they are today.”
The sibyl:“No, you’re quite right. At that time, there was a lotof cruelty.
How is your situation today? I see, that you’ve got a lot of people
around you at work. What are you doing at work? Are you married?”
I: “I’m permanently employed at Telia handling claims. I’m neither
married or living together with somebody, but I’ve got a friend.”
The sibyl: “Yes, the cards tell me, that you’re living separately, but within
soon he’ll ask you to marry him. At workyou’ve got contact with
a lot of people helping them with their problems. At Telia you’re
working very hard climbing up the stairs. Also, I see, that you’re
under stress at work. That’s why I’d like you to visit thehealer’s
desk. Carl-Arne Nilsson, at the neighbour’s desk, is a healer holding
a diploma. He’ll give you a piece of good advice getting rid of stress.”
I: “Thanks for holding your time. Is it O.K. if I continue visiting
Carl-Arne’s, the healer’s desk?”
The sibyl: “Thank you and hoping to see you next year!”
I: “Good buy!”
The healer:“Hello, how are you?”
I: “I’m fine thank you, but sometimes I’m feeling a little under
stress.”
The healer:“Yes, I feel you’re in a state under strain. I’ll helpyou get rid of it.”
I: “That’s fine!”
The healer:“Now I’d like you to close your eyes and just relaxfor some minutes.
I’m going to put my hands on yourshoulders enabling you to feel
the heat streaming out of my hands. As you’ve got a very busy job,
I’dlike you to take at least ten minutes of your time eachday for
meditation. It will help you not being over-strained at work.”
I: “I wonder how do I do meditating in a correct way to achieve
utmost relax?”
The healer:“You switch off the light, lightening a candle, puttingon soft music,
while thinking about nothing at all for about ten minutes per day.
Just try to empty your mind completely.”
I: “Thanks for instructing me how to handle and solve the stress
problem.”
The healer: “I’m now going to give you a hug wishing you goodluck with
the meditation.”
I: “How much for your consulting time?”
The healer: “Swedish Crowns 100, - will do.”
I: “Thanks for keeping your time.”
The healer: “Good bye, hoping to see you next summer.”
I: “Good bye
