THE IDEA OF HAVING YOUR FORTUNE READ is an intriguing one, but far more so when there is every chance you will learn about your Second Life, as well as your RL. Avatar readings are a relatively new concept, but the opportunity is now being offered by French clairvoyant, Madame Candice Mathy of Normandie, France. Regular readers will know that SL Newspaper columnist, Natalie Niven is one of Madame Mathy's delighted clientele. (Apparently Natalie was given some very promising news in the romance department).Madame Mathy says she "fell head over heels in love" with SL when she arrived here in March 2007 and loves creating her own avatar, something she is very skilled at through her abilities as a stylist. Through a interpreter, Madame Mathy (who does not speak English), says she also enjoys helping people by doing the clairvoyant readings.I asked whose future is being revealed, the avatar's of the RL being? She replied that there was not much difference between the two, as it is the personality of a person which is being read and both the RL personality and the SL personality combine."Our personalities are the same," she explained. "It is more a feeling of things, and this, everyone will interpret differently. I speak rather, about what touches a person. It has to bring something of reality."Most importantly, Madame Mathy believes that SL offers people a good opportunity for their spirit to grow.I asked if the process of allowing your 'inner self' to be expressed so freely in SL made it more difficult for her to read people's 'other' life, since for most people the two are so completely different.But she reassured me that the two combined to make the complete personality, and that it had no impact on her ability to read for the person.Still, there was still some resistance from some people to the idea of clairvoyant readings. "It is never easy to open to somebody," she pointed out. "Whether it is the reality of SL or RL. People can be somewhat uneasy, but I find they speak openly with me.""Clairvoyance is a metiér I adore," she enthused. "I became aware of my abilities when I was an adolescent, but did not use my abilities then."With eight years experience in clairvoyance, Madame Mathy uses gypsy 'belote' cards in her readings, charging 100L per question.She says she has been able to help people in many ways - from predicting a proposal of marriage, advising of gifts to come, warning of a fraud to such simple events as "a surprise feté or de soirée romantique".If you plan to visit Madame Mathy in her 'Cabinete de Clairvoyancy', try and arrange an interpreter if you do not speak French.by Miralee Munro
