Tea houses devoted to fortunetelling used to be quite common in the
United States. Unfortunately, these days they’re a dwindling breed. But
now—goddess bless!—Portland has her very own, thanks to the
enterprising Christy Desko, who opened Mademoiselle Noelle’s Fortune
Tea House two months ago. Christy has been a working psychic and
practicing
herbologist since the tender age of 15. Still, even
psychics can take meandering career paths, and Desko spent much of the
last decade in the usual Portland pursuits—bartending, selling
vintage clothing, studying acupuncture and massage—before finding
her niche at the darling little tea house on NE Fremont, just past Rose
City Cemetery. There she offers quite a menu of services, including
palmistry, scrying (crystal ball), and tarot and tea-leaf readings,
alongside a more traditional menu of espresso, fabulous teas she blends
herself, scrumptious pies and cakes, and locally-made Wingnut
chocolates. She also sells books on the occult and stocks hoodoo oils
from Portland-based Conjure Oils (“Whore of Babylon” apparently works
so well she can’t keep it on the shelves). Stop by for a free psychic
reading at their official grand opening on Wednesday, October 31st.
What do your clients want to know about most?
Love. Women want to know if they’re going to have babies. Those
things are really easy for me to see for some reason. After love, it’s
job stuff.
So when you see people walking down the street, can you see what
they’re about?
Being psychic can scare a lot of people. I get things off of people,
but it’s not like I know everything. I’m what they call a clairvoyant.
I’ll see dead people next to you. I’ll see energy and symbols around
you. I can see places you’ve been, stuff like that.
Can you see stuff about me? Like right now?
I can see your aura and your energy. It’s good! You’re a kind
person. Don’t get freaked out.
Dating must be rough for you, if dudes think you can see right
through them.
The more I get to know someone, the less I can see—especially
when I’m dating, because then my hormones get involved.
Can you tell if someone’s cheating on you?
I can see stuff like that, but not always. I’ve been deceived.
Still, it has occurred to me that I’ll never have a boyfriend again
after all this psychic stuff. Guys are too intimidated.
Tell us about your school.
The White Owl School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is something I’ve
always wanted to do. I’m hoping to open it in the darkest months of
this year. People will bring up Harry Potter, and that’s fine. I love
Harry Potter. Magic is a real thing. There’s a need in the world for
more magic and more openness to magic.
This business is terrible, this medium tried to get involved with my personal private family business with a third unrelated party I was having trouble with. Claimed to want to help by mediating, but refused to hear, or believe anything I had to say about it. The third party has been harassing for months!! I had only met her a couple of times, and found her intrusion to be very inappropriate, and unprofessional. Beware if you choose to deal with this “medium”! I have launched a compliant against her business.
Well I absolutely love Christy and have had readings from her for two years on and off. She’s kind and always amazes me with something that she says that there’s no way she could know. I find her work to be very useful and I highly recommend her! By the way, slandering someone on the internet is really lame.

THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER BAD REVIEW ABOUT HER ON HERE. I WON’T STATE ANY NAMES BUT I’VE HAD SOME EMAILS ABOUT CHRISTY NOELLE SIMILIAR TO THE REVIEW HERE AND THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH HER.
“I had only met her a couple of times, and found her intrusion to be very inappropriate, and unprofessional.”
Likk you obviously have more problems than a “psychic’ can handle. Get a life. The rant you left about this person makes you look like a total psycho. Hopefully Christy Noelle got a restraining order against you…..also, slander and libel on the internet is a crime that this lady could probably sue you for. Live and let live crazy lady.

Beautiful, beautiful woman. Just had a reading with her a few days ago and she helped me and the police close a case regarding my missing brother. I just know that she was sent here to help. What an extraordinary person. I don’t understand the previous bad reviews about her. Strange.
The other day I had a reading with Christy Noelle. I have to admit that I was skeptical when I first started but WOW! She is the REAL DEAL. Highly recommended. Not only was she on point about everything she was also super sweet. Go see her!
