Jon Saint-Germain joins us to speak about his new book Crystal Magic

At age six, Jon Saint-Germain decided he wanted to be a Wizard when he grew up. Today he is a professional psychic, rootworker, author and ecumenical minister. Jon is one-half Cherokee and has studied traditional Cherokee herbal medicine and magic. He has a long family tradition in Southern psychic arts, as his mother, grandmother, aunt and great-grandmother all were practicing psychics, and his grandfater was a skilled dowser or "water-witch." During the 1982 Knoxville World's Fair, he successfully solved the Rubik's Cube while blindfolded. Professor Erno Rubik thought this was the most amazing thing he had ever witnessed. The most common remark made during this time was "Heck, I can't solve it with my eyes OPEN!" He was the official palm reader for Obama's Inagural Ball and Women's Health Magazine's Chicago Expo, and is a popular guest on television and radio programs. He has even read palms over the radio! He also enjoys speaking for Civic clubs. His books -- Runic Palmistry, Karmic Palmistry and Love in the Palm of Your Hand are available in bookstores and from this website. Because of his eclectic knowledge of all things magical and psychic, he recently was retained as a consultant for a series of programs for the Learning Channel. In 2001, Jon was part of a scientific panel led by Dr. Gary Schwartz dedicated to examine the most important question ever asked: does human consciousness survive the death of the body? the results of this investigation are related in Dr. Schwartz's book The Afterlife Experiments. Jon practices what he preaches. Struggling with a lifelong eating disorder, he applied his mind power techniques to solving the riddle of why a person would consume food when he isn't really hungry. He found answers, and his weight dropped from over 300 pounds to 200 pounds in a year and a half.
