“I just always believed in magic,” she says. “Or whatyouwouldnowcall spiritualism. Never in a million years did I think I would be doing something with it.”

Benanti is a tarot card reader known as Nattacia Zeviar. She used to have a table at Central 214 but now takes appointmentsatherHillcrestForest home.Infact,shehastriedtounspook herself, she says. Benanti is a wife and mother of two boys at Kramer Elementary. She has a beautifully landscaped yard that hints at her innate connection with the earth.

One time, she walked into her garage it.” in and spotted a blue garden sprite about 18 inches tall that looked like a gargoyle. It disappeared before her eyes.

“There are other things that live in this world,”Benanti says. “There’s an entire universe that we don’t see.”

Benanti says she comes in contact with that universe on a regular basis through tarot card reading. The goal isn’t necessarily to tell the future but toopencommunicationsfromthe subconsciousmind,givingpeople a betterunderstandingofthemselves and their path.

“Sometimes,I’lltellyouthingsyou already knew. In that case, you get a second opinion.”

However, she still stuns clients with the amount of detailed information she sees in the cards from a troubled love life to concerns about the next step in a career.

“There is that ‘wow’ factor,” she says.

Benanti’s psychic reading trade didn’t come easily. She says her ability was triggeredbyanunexpectedanddisturbing event in 2000, when she was pregnant with her first child.

“I was walking down a flight of stairs one day and, all of a sudden, I said, ‘I hope this baby isn’t dead.’ ”

She doesn’t know why the thought entered her mind, but it did. A couple of weeks later, she went to the doctor. Her baby had died of unknown causes.

“That was pretty traumatic,” Benanti says.

Shebeganreadingbooksabout tarot, attending workshops and building a client base. In 2008, she started turning heads in the psychic community with her breast cancer journal. She sketched images she saw in her head and tracked them in the journal, which she believes foretold her eventual diagnosis.

“I had a cluster of tumors in my right breast. I had been drawing clusters of stones in my journal for weeks.”

Benanti has dedicated her life to her sixth sense, dabbling in several types oftechniques.Shesaysshehasn’t dealt much with ghosts except for one incident involving night terrors. They tormented a client’s son until Benanti suggested a remedy — tell the spirits to leave; then they have to.

“Her son slept peacefully from then on.”

Childrenareoftenmoreperceptive to the supernatural than adults, Brott says, particularly when the child hasn’t beenadvisedagainstit.Societyhas conditioned people to reject these incidents as nonsense. But Brott believes otherwise.

“Most people are told from the moment they’re born that ghosts don’t exist. So from an early age, they block out the natural sense they’re given. But if you watch kids, most of them have imaginary friends. You walk in and see a little girl having teatime.
