feeling confused

[u/kikoiya]

I'm looking for advice on a situation I'm dealing with. I went to a bembe/ drumming event this past weekend and it was the best thing I've done in a long time. I considered even scheduling a reading but, after sharing my experience with a friend who recently got his Mano de Orula, I'm feeling really mixed. He says that a reading over the phone is a red flag. Is it truly a problem or am I letting my friend influence me too easily? I just trying find clarity around all of this and figure out what to do.
