For almost eight years, Marva’s Psychic Fairs have been a staple of Houston’s metaphysical community. The first Saturday of each month, a conference room at the Ramada becomes a veritable Galleria of the world beyond this mere dimension. There are astrologists, palm readers, reflexologists, iridologists, herbalists and tarot-card readers. (Here’s an idea: Go to several different vendors and get them arguing about why each sees a different future for you.) There’s also a wide selection of jewelry and books, all in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. If you’ve got any doubts about where your love life or career is going, Marva’s fair will have answers. Maybe not guaranteed answers, but answers nonetheless.
