Supernatural powers visit campus Thursday
Eager to have the secrets of their future unlocked, students packed into the Bovee University Center to delve into the other realm with Judith Rizzel and her team of psychics.
Rizzel has been performing psychic readings for 20 years, offering psychic insights across the East Coast. She said the ability to perform psychic readings is a gift, not a talent.
"You can use this gift for good or evil," Rizzel said. "I use my powers for good, to help people see what they might have overlooked."
Josh Palmer, president of the CMU Program Board, was pleased with the student turnout.
"The event really fills up," Palmer said. "It's a great way for us to welcome students back to campus."
Many students came to seek career or romantic advice. Flint sophomore Keeva Smith found her reading to be very reassuring.
"It was my first time, I've only ever seen this on TV," said Smith. "It went even better than I expected, the psychic told me what was coming up in my life."
Smith was among a parade of students who left the psychic reading feeling confident and satisfied.
Mount Pleasant graduate student Sarah Wyman was excited to meet with a traveling psychic for a reading, having dabbled in tarot cards herself. Wyman said that reading tarot cards requires a great deal of intuition, in order to correctly interpret what the images mean about each person's life.
"My mom bought me my first tarot deck when I was 17," Wyman said, "It was a great experience. They were very intuitive."
Students were not the only ones taking advantage of the opportunity to meet with a psychic. Professor Andrew Dunn and his wife Yuki were thrilled to have their future read. The couple were looking for answers about a recent move.
"A good number of Japanese people believe in these readings," Yuki said. "We want to meet them again, I asked how soon they will be back."
Palmer said the psychics will be back again to provide more readings for students and faculty next semester.
The psychics look forward to coming back to Mount Pleasant, Rizzel said. They value the opportunity to offer insight to the students during what is often a pivotal moment in their lives.
"Everyone controls their destiny," Wyman said. "A lot of us are all about the black and white, I'm here to show you the grey. You have a lot of choices and options."
