At 10, Swati Parekh a Tarot consultant and owner of Magick, believes to have realised she possesses special psychic powers after lacking behind repeatedly in math exams, when chants and symbols (known to bring good karma) magically came to her. Thereafter, her luck has always worked in her favour, academically and otherwise, she claims.
