It was absolutely a wonderful and magical time at the Ren in
the Glen! The people who host the event were awesome and the vendors were are
great. Everyone was in character and true to the theme of the village. Unlike
some ren fests where the emphasis is on making money (which is important) here
it was more about the patrons having fun first and then buying stuff secondly. It
was also a “safe place” so I didn’t have any worry with my granddaughter wondering
around the village.
I was privileged to be accompanied by my daughter Traci (who
actually assisted me with some of the analyses) and her 3 year old daughter Nia
who became well known by every vendor. I
was in character as Brother Scott, a scribe who escaped from an evil king over
in the next village. I escaped because this king wanted to keep the common
people from learning how to read and write so they would not have the power to
succeed in life. I referred to my daughter and granddaughter as my “birthday
peasants”.
I explained graphology by explaining that even though the
people of this village (or visitors) may not even know how to write, that I could
tell much about their personality with just the size, and placement of their simple mark placed on a piece of paper.
I did several group presentations during the two days of the faire and followed
this with private analyses. There was such a variety of samples of writings as
I analyzed a tarot card reader, two belly dancers, and several other vendors
not including the many visitors.
There aren’t many of us graphologists in the USA and even
fewer with handwriting huts at renaissance fairs. Many people walking along the
dirt path seeing my sign had no idea what a graphologist is and what he or she
does. I explained how most graphologists will tell the person what the writing
reveals like, “Your writing tells me that you have low self-esteem, thanks for
your business; run along and have a nice day”.
I take it much further than most graphologists. Although I
can’t do as much as I do in my 30 or 60 minute phone sessions (see www.terscott.com/handwriting) I
usually spend 10 minutes minimum revealing the mysteries of their writing
followed by Q and A so I really give them answers to their questions. The
process of my private analyses is that I explain what the person’s writing
reveals, how it shows me the personality trait in their writing (so they can
see it and are part of the process) and I explain a few exercises they could do
to change their writing to change their life if they chose to do so. This is
called Grapho-Therapy and I talk about it in length in my Amazon Kindle Book:
The Power of the Pen.
I look forward to being there again next year. If you are in
the Minneapolis Minnesota/Menomonee Wisconsin area the last weekend of July,
stop by! You can get more details at www.renintheglen.com.
I also plan to be at other fairs and will of course be appearing at many events
throughout the year.
