One day Shira Plotzker was sitting at home in Nyack, New York, watching the animal communicator Sonya Fitzpatrick on TV. As she watched, she suddenly developed the ability to communicate with animals, and started a booming psychic business to cater to pets. Dogs and cats make up the bulk of her clientele, but also some snakes, horses, wolves and elephants at Tampa zoo. A story: Janis Kowalski says she came across Shira Plotzker by chance 10 years ago, at a group session Plotzker was running in a local library. Janis was not registered, and says Shira didn't know her name or anything about her. Still, Shira told Janis that her family had just got a new dog and that "your new dog loves going in the pool with your son but when your husband came home with a sprinkler he didn't like that - he only likes the pool." It was correct, Janis tells. Shira charges $100 for a half-hour session. Another pet psychic, the California-based Laura Stinchfield, charges $150 for a 30-minute phone session, and $200 if it's an "emergency session". Lisa Greene in Houston, charges $260 an hour for an in-home reading. Money matters aside, can anyone communicate with lots of animals psychically? Belief-based practices inspire passion and conviction in some people, but the evidence is not convincing today. Still, Dr Aleda Cheng, a New Jersey-based veterinarian, says she's seen enough evidence to convince her that the idea of pet psychics shouldn't be dismissed outright, for in her experience there have been several occasions when the animal communicator's advice has been eerily apt. Sonya Fitzpatrick says how to "talk" with animals: You have to start by being very quiet. When calm, ask your animal a question. See what comes back; it's almost like you're imagining it. "You just have to trust your imagination." It may be right, it may be wrong. It may be very wise not to risk anything of value throughout. (Source: Arwa Mahdawi.

The legend is from a book by Anonymous who in this case was Charles John Tibbitts. See Tibbitts 1892, 6-8. The legend also appears in German Legends by the Brothers Grimm. There the spirit is the devil. The real name of Paracelsus: Theophrastus Philippus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim (1493–1541). He was a Swiss German Renaissance physician, botanist, alchemist, astrologer and much more, born in Egg . . . He founded the discipline of toxicology. He insisted on observing nature. Modern psychology often credits him for noting that some diseases are rooted in psychological illness (psychosomatic diseases). Pig MusicDuvoisin 1958, 28-30. The Three Languages"Die drei Sprachen."
