This is a little more of an “out there” event but it is not one where you need a high level of expertise to run it, nor do you need to be a clairevoyant!
Spiritualists are people who believe in the power of spirit and are often into tarot card readings, oracle cards, palm reading and seeing psychics among other rituals. Everyone is quite curious about their future and it can be a great, fun way to add some flair to your fundraising!
You can buy lots of books on palm reading, and tarot card starter kits and this can be a chance for you to practice reading them and giving some spooky, or fun readings to your friends and family for a fee.
You should make sure that you do not mislead anybody by making them think that you are an expert or that anything you say holds any truth, but it can be a really fun way to make people think about their future and you may even surprise yourself with what you get right!
To run your own spiritualist event you could take something from the following points:
- You could try and book a space at your university student’s union or during a local festival where you know there will be a lot of footfall
- You can offer £1 a palm reading or similar, not forgetting the disclaimer that you are not an expert
- You can always try and ask some local mediums and spiritualist gurus if they would be interested in being involved in an event for you, if you held a holistic event with herbalists and such then you could make a lot of money!
- You can always take advantage of some drunken people at festivals and offer your spiritualist palm reading knowledge in exchange for a small fee! People may be more willing to get involved!
WHSmith and similar shops do a lot of cheap handbooks on how to get involved with spiritualist work, maybe you could even host a “white witchcraft” workshop where students could learn about spells and such that can boost their luck during exams! I’ll write about that in another post!
Good luck and keep fundraising!
