A former beautician has dropped her glitz and glamour job, which she held for over five years, to become a full-time witch.
Jessica Caldwell reports to be raking in over £7,000 a month solely through social media by reading tarot cards to celebrities and Babestation models.
Jessica, 29, quit her beauty job after experiencing 'spiritual awakenings' when scrolling through popular social media app Instagram during a shift as a nail technician.
Her love for witchcraft and crystals instantly blossomed after she purchased fitting books online and discovered her talent for reading tarot cards.
After she set up an Instagram account in January 2021, Jessica was instantly bombarded with requests for readings after promoting her white witch and reading tarot card services.
Since launching her account over two years ago, Jessica now has over 5,000 clients - several of whom are celebrities and friends.
The full-time witch, from Swansea, Wales, said: "I've always been a witch. I just never had the tools to utilise my power until now.
"Intuition is a powerful tool that I never realised I used in my daily life. Now I utilise it within my readings with complete strangers.
"I only work on Instagram and am earning three times more than I was before working in a salon. My friends and family were worried when I started working full-time.
"But once I started to earn good money they supported me!"
Before falling into the world of paranormal, Jessica was previously working six days a week in a salon. She now is able to work from home while 'picking and choosing' her own hours.
While working at her salon job, which she held until December 2019, Jessica discovered a paranormal group on Facebook.
Intrigued, she bought a collection of crystals and a set of tarot cards from Amazon that same day.
Jessica stated: "The Facebook group was filled with posts where people explained their journeys into witchcraft. It fascinated me and I felt really drawn to know more.
"I purchased crystals, tarot cards, and a few herbs. At first, I was extremely sceptical, but I was really curious. On my breaks at work in the salon I'd be researching tarot cards and crystals, I became obsessed.
"I felt like it was a pull towards it all, it felt really natural to me."
Eventually, in January 2020, Jessica reached out to friends and family and asked if they'd like a free reading."
After a year of practicing on pals, Jessica started offering her services on Instagram - where demand shot up instantly.
Charging between £5 and £60, Jessica would select tarot cards for her customer and then record her readings, which are usually five to ten minutes long, via voice memo.
She explained: "It just exploded online, within six months I had 16,000 followers. I realised I'd have to start charging for my time as I was getting so busy.
"I had this woman approach me for a reading and I kept getting the name Steve. Eventually, I had to say something - which she revealed was the name of her partner. I was spooked but amazed by my intuition."
In January 2021, Jessica's client base became so large she decided to pursue witchcraft full-time and currently works 10 hours a day.
She said: "They often ask about love. People want to know what their partner thinks about them.
"Sometimes I do have to tell them the brutal truth. Some people just want a nice chat which can be just as helpful as a reading. I also give free advice on spell work and spirituality.
"I show people how to create protection charms. I even show them how to attract people to you. I've had a few trolls, but my clients have been respectful and lovely."
With intuition, a set of tarot cards, and crystals, Jessica encourages other women to join the world of witches.
Jessica said: "It's really changed my life, it's my calling. I do always encourage other women to give it a try, I've been on such a journey of discovery.
"A reading can discover so much about someone's life. It's like therapy for them. I always get people crying, saying that I've changed their life.
"Additionally, I do everything within the comfort of my own home. I don't see myself ever going back to the salon.
"I wish more women and men would trust their intuition. It's a powerful tool when used properly," she added.
