COVER STORY What's in the cards Open Doors, Braintree I had heard many good things about Open Doors in Braintree from friends and psychics alike. The New Age gift and bookstore is packed with crystals, gifts, artwork, even a flowing fountain. It also offers classes in such things as reflexology and past life regression, and has a School of Energy Healing. Readings are done in partitioned-off corners of the store. Over the phone, I had made an appointment for a psychometry reading ($30 for 30 minutes) in which predictions are based on personal objects and photographs. Tracey was recommended, but when I showed up she said psychometry was not one of her specialties. She gave it a try anyway. Tracey - whose hair, flowing clothes, and long, painted nails gave her a Stevie Nicks look - made sure I was sitting up straight with legs uncrossed, so as to not block the flow of energy. At this point I was thinking, oh brother. I handed her a black-onyx ring. Her first comment was that it had "a lot of female energy" and asked if my grandmother had given me it. When I said my father had, she assumed it was a family heirloom (it wasn't) and continued talking about my grandmother. I should have listened to Tracey's warning and asked for another reader. That's standard procedure when don't feel you're connecting. In a short reading using tarot cards, Tracey, assuming my father was alive, said he needed to watch his diet and that he'd visit the Cape often. She prefaced many sentences with "they're telling me," and I was imagining invisible fairies hovering around her head. Some customers swear by Tracey, owner Richard Lanza said later. With me perhaps she was tuned in to the wrong lifetime.
