Why you are not here to learn a lesson

Life lessons are how people learned to explain the bad things that happen to them. What is really going on is fixed events, loops, curses or default patterns.

Preparing

Preparing for a consultation

Nothing is required of you before a consultation. Clients who arrive having thought about a few things tend to get more from it.

  • Choose one topic. Each consultation covers a single subject, so decide which one matters most now.
  • Write it down in your own words, even if it feels unfinished.
  • Note anything that seems connected to it, such as dreams, recurring events, dates, places or people.
  • Keep to the golden rule. Ask about your own life, and do not ask how this world works.

Questions

Common questions

How much does a consultation cost?

The price is set by the consultant after reading your inquiry, because the price is part of the consultation itself. It may be money, anywhere from nothing at all to $1,000,000 USD, or it may be something you have to do.

Why does the price depend on the person?

Because what you give plays into the consultation. A greedy man must pay, a shy man must shout from the rooftops, and a selfish man must become selfless.

Can a consultation be free?

Yes. The price can be nothing. It can also be as much as $1,000,000 USD.

What can a consultation be about?

Anything, one topic per consultation. The consultant can see everything about a person, from the "lesson" you are supposedly here to learn to the future held for you, the paths in front of you and your likely fate.

Can I bring more than one topic?

Not in the same consultation. Each one covers a single topic. For another topic, send another inquiry.

Is there anything I cannot ask?

Yes. You may not ask for specifics on how this world works. That knowledge tends to drive people insane.

Is there anything you will not help with?

We will not help you kill. We will not help you steal, unless it is something that rightfully belongs to you. We will not coach you in the ways of this work.

How does a consultation work?

That is at the consultant's discretion. Some problems are resolved entirely by email. How yours will go is set out in our reply, together with the price.

How soon will I hear back?

Whether and when a consultation takes place is at the consultant's discretion. Every inquiry is read in full.

Can I meet the consultant in person?

Possibly. In-person consultations are held at a location we designate, for those willing to travel there. Whether yours is held in person is decided by the consultant and stated in our reply.

Do you guarantee results?

No. We give you the path, and it is yours to follow.

Do you cast spells?

No. We have no intention of locking anyone into a system. Real spells come from who you are and what your path is, which is why our work is a consultation.

Do you work with organizations?

No. Orpheus & Theseus works with individuals only.

Who is the consultant?

Orpheus & Theseus has one consultant, the present keeper of a line that goes back to the 1300s, who works without a public name. You come to know the consultant in the consultation itself.

Is what I share kept confidential?

Yes. Inquiries and consultations are held in confidence.

How do I begin?

Send an inquiry through the form on this site with the one topic you want to bring. The consultant reads you, and we reply privately by email with a request, an invoice or direct instructions.
