Greetings,
Gifted Reader!
Honolulu
happens to be one of Gypsy Stars’ favorite places on the planet. For one, the
deep spirituality created by Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawai’ians) still permeates
the atmosphere. Even in a commercial district like Waikiki, one can feel the
strong vibrations of the ancestors.
Inside the
International Marketplace, not far from a bubbling pool of water, once stood a tree
house called The Enchanted Tree. There, one could have their cards or
Astrology chart read. A fellow reader whom I became good friends with is Marge Hemsworth.

Q: Marge, where
were you born and how did you grow up?
A: Halifax,
Nova Scotia, Canada. Most people here are of Scottish-Irish heritage and
think it's a natural thing to rely on your "woman's intuition". It
seems most people here have someone in the family who reads cards or
tealeaves. Growing up, I was always hearing about forerunners and had
dreams about things before or when they were happening. I actually thought everyone
did. Then, as I grew up, I found some people have very practical minds and
don't listen to ‘hints’ like who's on the phone or who's going to visit
you that day.

Q: What kind of
readings do you do?
A: Besides the dreams, and a
‘feeling’ something was about to happen, I read regular playing cards. At
first, I thought it was just a fun thing to do. Then, when I'd hit on
something I had no way of knowing, I realized there was more to this than just
a parlor game! I read books on Astrology and handwriting, and took courses in
both. Apparently in Europe, people use handwriting for job placements, marriage
counseling and children's problems. Here in Canada and the United States, it
seems to be used only for job applications, or sometimes it's used in Court to
determine a forgery. When I was doing readings in Hawai’i, many
people asked me to read the Tarot. Since I'd never studied cards, I asked a
co-reader to show me how. She asked me to layout my cards and tell her
what they meant. She then said they were very close to what the Tarot
cards said. But still, I find they ‘speak’ to me more so than the
Tarot. I've read some books on palmistry and numerology and try to
incorporate all those things into my readings.

Q: When did you
first realize you had a special skill?
A: I've
never really considered it a special skill. Like I said, I thought it was the
most natural thing in the world. I do try to protect myself in that I try to
just read with the cards. As a child I found I picked up other’s pains. Naturally, that was very uncomfortable. Limiting myself to doing readings was
much better for me.

Q: What drew
you into sharing your gifts with the public?
A: I
found when I was a teen and in my early 20’s, every time I was with people, or
at a party, I'd end up doing readings, and decided to charge money. I thought
that would stop people from asking me, but it had the opposite effect.

Q: How can
people reach you for a reading?
A: Now, for
years I've been saying I'm retired and no longer want to do readings. But I'm
still hearing from people whom I've read for throughout the years.
