The Psychic & Healing Guide Featured Listing




Patrick Kaderka and The Menagerie
Over his decade+ practice Patrick has found that his style of tarot is just that little bit different. While using the definition of the individual cards he also reaches out to his client’s ancestors and guides for their input. Because, of this Patrick’s readings come out more like “advice from an old friend you never knew you had” and less the traditional spreads. Each card is a stepping stone to what is coming. Don’t like the outcome? Change directions when you come to the next stone. https://www.themenageriepgh.com/
The Menagerie
Opened in September of 2021 The Menagerie is a family owned metaphysical shop in Bellevue Pa. Jessica and Patrick opened the store to bring affordable tools and assistance to the pagan and witch population of the greater Pittsburgh area. Their use of Folk Magic emphasizes the use of numerous items they create in house or, better yet, that you make yourself. As reconstructionist pagans they are ready and willing to discuss mythology and help you find the best way to reach your goddess or god. https://www.themenageriepgh.com/

Get to know Patrick
How would you describe the modality that would be your main service to others?
Through it all our main service has remained 2 fold. First is to create and maintain a community where practitioners of any and all faiths can feel free to be their 100% true selves. The other is to help people learn and grow along their path so they can stay in “right relations” with their gods, guides, and universe.
When did you first feel the desire to share this with people?
While being in the metaphysical community has only been the last decade+ the desire to help and be there for people has always been a part of me. I just didn’t realize how that was to be done until 2020/2021 when we decided to open shop.
Who would you consider to be your greatest teachers?There are a few in my life I would dive this title to. First would be my Dad. It sounds generic but he gave me my work ethic, my drive, and my moral compass. One of my high school history teachers, Mr Irey, would be second. He was a veteran and true patriot; however, he was very critical of the governement and our elected officials. He taught me to be critical even if I support and that loyalty shouldn’t be blinde. Finally, and most recently, An Morrigan. As a follower of Irish Paganism we recognize that we need to learn not just from mythology but the gods themselves. The Morrigan has taught me a lot over the years and helps to guide me down my path.
What would you like to be doing in 5 years regarding your work?
This. If I am lucky enough to still be helping out the spiritual community in 5 years I will consider myself to be extremely fortunate.
If you would be able to have a conversation with 3 people, living or not, who would that be and why?The first 2 are pretty selfish my mother, anyone who has lost a parent will get this one, and my Marine Corps brother Fitzy who paid the ultimate sacrifice during our second tour in Iraq. Would love to have another beer with him. The third would be Anthony Bourdain. As a former chef his influence on the American food scene is incalculable. He also taught a generation how to be accepting of other cultures and the importance of understanding each other. On top of that he was dedicated to helping others with recovery and aided in the fight against child trafficking.
