Kevin Baird has been with us here at Esoterica for almost five years.  We are his
weekend family.  Kevin came to us with the intent to further develop his path and spiritual
understanding of the unseen world.

When he was 4 or 5 years of age, his parents would many times find him speaking with a
group of adults at different places in his neighborhood.  When his parents found him, they
were greeted with, "Who is this curious child who speaks to us as if he were an adult
himself?"  Those were safer times than today.  

The whole of his family soon heard about him, that the "gifted" members of his family
began schooling him on the areas of their abilities.  His dad's mom, taught him about the
art of "Seeing" -receiving advice about that which goes unknown.  She explained further
that her father had the same gift.  Kevin's mom's father schooled him on working with the
elements, primarily, dowsing for water.  This grandfather in the early 1900's earned a
living helping new land owners find underground springs where wells could dug.  Kevin
spoke of a time where he remembered witnessing his grandfather using a Y-shaped stick
and how it wiggled as a fishing pole would with a fish at the other end.

As Kevin grew older and spending more time in school, so did he take what he was
being taught at home to school as well.  This, however,was not received well and the
PTA meetings had discussion of Kevin's imagination in question and how he should focus
on school work.  With that, his parents stopped the family from teaching Kevin what they
knew.  Kevin persisted with what he thought was normal and assumed everyone else had
it as well.  Teachers and Principals complained and this brought about a series of
beatings until Kevin stopped with the crazy imagination stuff.  The focus was school work!

At 13 years of age hormones kicked in and he put his shunned conduct to rest.  Girls
were now top of the list of interests.

At 17 years, Kevin joined the Army.  His gift began to show itself, but now older, Kevin
saw it as a knack for doing something and so did his superiors.  During Kevin's last tour
in the Army, he worked for a Sargent-Major who called  him Radar, after the character
in the TV show M.A.S.H.  He, as Radar saw known for, having things before they were
asked for. This 'knack' got him promoted to the Post Commander's admin office, where
it was discovered by his fellow soldiers, that every time Kevin would put in for
vacation, months in advance, so during his away time would a surprise inspection of the
Office, or the Ammo storage facility lost power and a 24-hour guard had to be posted.  
It got to where the people working around him would plan for trouble during Kevin's
away time.

Kevin met his wife towards the end of his tour in the Army and after some years of living
in the city, they moved to Front Royal.  There Kevin was finding him well established in
preparing for a family of his own and growing in the Corporate world.  Then in the Fall of
1995, between September 15th and October 15th, Kevin got into a series of car
accidents, 5 to be exact.  The insurance company threatened to drop him if any more
accidents happened.  The strange thing is that all the accidents were from people hitting
him and not him causing the accidents.

It was at this point that Kevin bought three cases of beer and kept the Pizza delivery
place on speed dial while he camped out in his basement and trying to sort out what the
hell was going on.  What he determined is that he should stop everything he was doing
and wait to see what happened next.  He then started doing a lot of hiking in the
mountains.  With each hike, the old ways, from when he was a child, began to return.

Kevin, realized that now was the time to return to his knack and that the car accidents
was caused by the world of spirit trying to get through to his numb senses.  With the
return to this path, Kevin began to change and his awareness grew.  And as he changed,
so he did change from being the man that his wife married.  Three years later, they were
divorced.

Today, Kevin has kept his corporate job, because that is how he sustains his life and to
remain connected to the population.

With us here at Esoterica, he helps those whom have stepped upon the spiritual path and
want to know more.  He charges a fee for his services to help Esoterica keep her doors
open.

Kevin uses the Tarot to dial a connection to the world of spirit for those who sit before
him looking for the meaning of current events and a look ahead to upcoming events in the
next ninety days so that plans can be made for when the events occur.  Ten minutes with
Kevin can get you enough information to last you a life-time.
