I've noticed in the new aged circles akashic records readings are becoming the new big thing. I did a class months ago but I don't like doing trendy stuff plus I find the Akashic records to be super cryptic. I see things in riddles that seem to take twice as long to figure out the possible meanings then there's the asking permission of the "record keepers". I hate asking permission.

What's another method that is similar/ better than the trendified akashic records?
