Cosmic Black Cat — Local services in Derby

I had a very unpleasant experience with a reader. She presents herself as someone deeply intuitive 🔮, but what I witnessed was more like someone fishing for information🐟 and twisting vague guesses into “insight.” She reads people in a way that feels invasive and manipulative, not spiritual or authentic🖤.

One clear example: she told one of her clients that their partner was secretly planning to leave them and that they needed to “spiritually detach” before it happened❤️‍🩹. The partner, as it turns out, was actually planning a surprise trip for their anniversary not leaving the relationship at all 🥴🥲. This kind of reckless, baseless “reading” caused a lot of unnecessary stress and confusion 🫥.

🚩It feels like she relies more on emotional manipulation and reading people’s reactions than on any real ability🚩. Be very careful because she’s good at making people believe she knows something deeper, but it’s smoke and mirrors at best🚩.

It’s clear that for some people, doing “readings” isn’t about passion or helping others,… it’s just a money-making act🫤. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what comes across here. Instead of genuine intuition or compassion, there’s a lot of emotional manipulation, guesswork, and theatrics meant to make people believe she has special insight🫢🤥.

She tends to read people’s reactions🫥, not their energy. What’s worse is how confidently she delivers completely off-base “messages” — like telling someone their partner was about to leave them, when in reality, that partner was planning a surprise vacation. That kind of recklessness causes real emotional harm.😥😓

There’s also an obvious struggle with personal instability that bleeds into her sessions — 😵‍💫turning what should be guidance into projection. The entire experience felt more like a performance built for profit, not a genuine gift...

Most of my items needed are purchased here! I drive an hour from home to visit this shop! I’ve been visiting for many years! Sandra & her husband have reopened the space with their own personal style and twist . A new experience entirely. I can still feel the Nostalgia with some of the remaining furniture pieces and that feels really good. This is a safe space. Sandra is friendly and knowledgeable. I’ve had readings here in the past quite a few! I respect the work and the amount of energy that it takes from them so we can receive messages. I respect the readers! They are reasonably priced. What I enjoy most is the personal experience I feel when I shop here. I’m not overwhelmed. It’s important to me to support local businesses. It’s also important to me to shop where I feel welcomed and I have been to other shops where it feels like chaos. And the environment is unwelcoming. That is my own personal experience at other shops in Connecticut. My best advice is going in person feel the vibe out. You’ll know what resonates with you....

I've been here a few times with one of my friends to get a reading done by Anna G and Sherri. When you walk through the door you are immediately greeted. You're not hounded or watches when browsing. The owner is sweet and knowledgeable about all products in the store. It's a cozy little store with an assortment of healing crystals, tarot cards, jewelry, candles and so much more! The prices are decent and affordable with whatever you're looking for. Oh, and if you're a chocolate lover...they do have chocolate bars available as well! Take a peek next time you're in the Derby area. You will not be...
