"I went for a reading with Barbara on February 9, 2008, doggedly open-minded regarding her
being the real deal or a fake. That question was answered within moments as she asked me
what was up with the junior Jew. “Jews don’t name their kids juniors,” she informed me. “True,”
I replied, “except for my father.” And with that, a feeling of serene calm enveloped me. My dad
was there. Barb went on to ask if I had any comedians in my family. Well, yes. My dad was
known and beloved for his sense of humor, but I also had a professional comedian in my family
tree. Barb thought she had both of them there.

My dad was making her laugh as he “schmoozed” with her, but she wanted to know a bit more
about the professional in the family. I explained that he was nationally known, but barely, being
more of a Catskills comedian. “Is it Myron Cohen?” she exclaimed! Amazingly, it was.

Turns out, Barb knew Myron Cohen so well, she called him Uncle Myron. Further discoveries
revealed that Barb’s father and my father shared the middle name Myron, as well as a love for
Buddy Hackett as their favorite comedian. Seems like it’s a small world, on both sides of
existence!

For the rest of the reading, Barb named names, offered details, and captured my father’s
personality so accurately, I truly felt his presence. I laughed and cried. And most of all, I remain
so grateful for this great gift Barbara has given me… the knowledge that love and laughter, and
even life, never ends…"

"The strangest thing happened yesterday Saturday March 8th.  I went to the local library to drop
off some books.  After dropping off my books, I passed the meeting rooms on my way back to the
car.  I noticed a news article taped to the door:  It read "Barbara Friedkin, Psychic".  She was
giving a lecture at 2PM.  Well, it was 2:05PM.  So I thought, why not go in and listen.  Couldn't
hurt.

Anyway, I snuck into a crowded room and leaned against a wall.  Barbara didn't look at me, but
asked if  “The Name Game”, (banana fana fo fanna Anna) was someone's favorite songs from the
60's.  I raised my hand.  I sing it to the kids all the time.  She then focused on me and said, “You
went out every Saturday night and danced your heart out?  Like at 7PM you were out the door?”  
{She scribbles on a sheet of paper as she asks the questions.} She told me I was Italian from
Long Island New York. Yes!

She then said, “You're father is here.”  Oh, gees.  That's great I said sarcastically.  She then said,
“He has a J initial in his name.”  Yes John.  She asked if he owned a restaurant.  Well yes a
nightclub.  There were comedians or singers who hung out there? She said he had a little bit of
the mobster in him. “I see the movie “Good Fellas” the scene in the club with the comedians and
the singers. She asked if there was a well known Jewish comedian and there was one who hung
out there a lot.  She mentions that when she grew up in Chicago how her family was friends with
Shecky Green and other comedians and was trying to cue in on the one with my dad.

She went on, “Did your Dad live in Florida?  And I am seeing that he died in Florida. Yes. I see
that he was not with your mother in life.  Yes they were divorced and she told me he’s not with
her now.”  “NOOOOO”, I replied, “but when I die before I go to heaven, I am going to find them
to give them a good talking to about what they left me with.”  

She was still trying to get who the comic was; she kept saying I am seeing the comic with a male
singer. And then she told me to just tell her the name of the comic.

The comedian was Buddy Hackett. She laughed and said that he was her Dad’s favorite comic
and when they were 11 her family took her and her cousin to see Buddy Hackett and the
singer/actor Eddie Fisher. They got the free tickets from Shecky. It was an adult only show and
she remembered how the audience was surprised to see two little girls there and that they
“GOT” the jokes.

She goes on to say, “Your father wasn’t funny, though.”  And I told her, “oh no he was not!”  She
told me that he knows how he was in life, but it was the only way that he knew to live and that
is the way he was raised.  He is different now and understands his errors.  He said he would like
to apologize to you and your brother.  He feels that he pushed him around the most.  Then I said
that it’s always about my brother.  And everyone laughed.

After more messages for some people about San Antonio, Texas, she starts to end her session
but notices something else she had written down and asked if anyone was connected with
Geronimo?  She describes kids jumping off a rope into a lake or river and they are yelling
Geronimo!  I raised my hand but another woman also responded and said her dad ran the Boy
Scout camp at Camp Geronimo here in Arizona.  Barbara gave her messages she recognized as
being from her Dad and when she finished, Barbara asked me “How do you have Geronimo?”

I told her I was supposed to meet my cousin’s wife today who was in town for a meeting.  Her
family by the way was from San Antonio, Texas and she now is Camp Director for the very same
Camp Geronimo.”  The whole audience gasped.
My Dad and I weren't very close, but she said numerous things that really were about him and
his life.  It was fun and she hit the nail on the head."

"I met Barbara one Saturday while shopping with my mother and one of my sisters in Cave
Creek.  Barbara and I engaged in conversation when she identified herself as “The “Mystic of
Cave Creek.”  Speaking with a “mystic” aroused my interest.  I wasn’t sure the difference
between a “mystic” and a “psychic reader” as I have had angel readings occasionally in the
past.  I took one of Barbara’s business cards and continued to shop.  Later, I heard Barbara
comment that a baby would cry if she would leave his sight.  The small baby was in a hand-held
carrier and set aside as the child’s parent shopped.  I watched as Barbara entertained this small
baby as I continued to shop.  Barbara said that she had to leave.  As Barbara was leaving, the
baby turned his head and clearly said “thank you.”  I questioned what we had just witnessed as
this baby was at an age too young to speak and after perplexing thought, I scheduled an
appointment with Barbara.  In my mind, I had witnessed something that was not explainable and
I became curious about Barbara’s abilities as a mystic.

Over the years, I have been more in tune and open to accepting the unexplained.  My openness
has been broadened since with working full-time in the hospice field.  Over the years, I have had
several angel card readings but forgo taro card readings as they tend to spook me.  Before
scheduling an appointment with Barbara, I went online to check Barbara’s website and to
investigate the difference between “mystics” and “psychic readers”.  I then scheduled an
appointment.

As Barbara told me, she uses prayer to establish connections for her readings.  Before beginning
her reading, Barbara and her client pray.  Barbara uses no more then a note pad and a pen.  As
messages come to her, she doodles these thoughts onto her pad of paper.  This is how she
provides her readings for her clients.  Her doodles seemed were quite intriguing; mostly large
round-about scribbles and little formal sentence structure.  Barbara is in tune and accurate in her
thoughts.  Barbara came up with the most amazing revelations of my life.  She was able to
provide exact names of my family members and extended relatives.  She was able to speak of my
grandfather who died early on in his life.  Nobody in our family had known much about him
because he had passed when my father was in his teenage years.  My relatives, both dead and
alive, came through for my reading.  I was surrounded by my family from both my mother and
father’s side.  This included family pets.

The most surprising part of my reading was when Barbara asked me about a “special dog.”  She
then elaborated about this dog saving a family member.  I had to think about this.  The dog that
Barbara referred to was not special in disposition or in personality, but she was truly special.  
Sebastian gave her life by saving Mother from a rattlesnake bite some years ago.  That was truly
amazing.  Barbara was exactly correct and I am thankful for Barbara in reminding me of our
special dog, Sebastian.

I am truly amazed.  My reading was more specific then what I could have thought possible.  
Barbara’s clarity is truly amazing.  I would love to sit with Barbara again to connect with my life.  
She is insightful in conveying your life; past, present and future.  She can reconnect you with
your love ones, and is equally talented in identifying difficult confrontations and personal
unresolved issues.

Barbara audio tapes her sessions so that her clients can re-listen to their readings.  Sessions go
quickly; without pauses, delays or distractions.  I was amazed with the amount of information
emerged and flowed in what seemed to be a short amount of time.  Her information was
accurate, clear and direct.  The “Mystic of Cave Creek” is intriguing.  I was certainly impressed by
Barbara’s abilities and look forward with visiting her again."
