Singles are paying a psychic on Etsy to draw their soulmates in the hope of finding their one true love, and while some fans are raving about the experience, others are doubtful of the results.
The seller, who is known as ThePsychicArtist on the e-commerce site, promises to ‘draw your soulmate within 24 hours’ of purchase and email the sketch along with a description of the person’s character.
Originally priced at $67.22, the unique service is now on sale for $33.61 per drawing, and customers are only required to submit their name and birthday along with their payment.

Nothing to lose: ‘This service will bring a reflection of whom you are going to marry, describing and drawing the physical appearance of your Soulmate!’ reads the product description
Little is known about the California-based psychic, whom many customers referred to as ‘he’ in their reviews of his drawings.
According to the seller’s bio, he is a ‘natural born psychic expert’ who has worked with ‘governments, celebrities, judges, lawyers, and everyone in between.’ He got dubbed ‘PsychicArtist’ thanks to his ability to explain and draw ‘exactly what will happen next.’
‘My drawings are very realistic and accurate,’ he wrote in the product description. ‘This service will bring a reflection of whom you are going to marry, describing and drawing the physical appearance of your Soulmate!’
There are more than 59,000 sales listed on his Etsy shop, which has gotten multiple five-star reviews over the past week.
A few customers shared photos of their drawings along with pictures of their partners to tout the accuracy of ThePsychicArtist’s predictions.

‘I bought this service from pure curiosity and now after 3 months I just met with [a] wonderful man! He’s exactly how PA described him, I’m shaking all over OMG so excited! MANY THANKS TO YOU FOR SPREADING YOUR GIFT WITH OTHERS!’ reads one five-star review.
The woman posted a snapshot of the sketch she received along with a picture of herself with her new boyfriend — who looks just like the man in the drawing.
‘I never thought I would order this type of product but now I am so happy I did so. I met a warm, gentile soul exactly how I wanted and how you said he will be. Thank you,’ another five-star reviewer shared.
‘I have to admit, I was a little skeptical at first, but three months after I ordered, I met someone who looks IDENTICAL to the drawing I was sent!’ someone else commented. ‘Now we are in a happy relationship and I am literally amazed with The PA’s psychic gifts! Highly recommend this to anyone!!’
The Etsy shop has been given a boost in recent weeks as a number of TikTok users have shared videos documenting their experience with ThePsychicArtist, though the reviews have been mixed.

What are the odds? Another fan shared a photo of her new boyfriend along with the sketch she had received
Rave reviews: One woman gushed that she met her ‘soulmate’ after purchasing the drawing and is now planning her wedding
A TikTok user named Victoria explained in her video that she is already married, and the description of her soulmate actually fits her husband ‘quite well,’ but the drawing wasn’t as spot-on.
‘I don’t think they look that alike,’ she said. ‘But it was fun, so worth it.’
A few commenters disagreed with her assessment and noted that her husband has similar features to the man in the picture.
Others shared photos of their sketches on TikTik to ask viewers to help them find the mystery men in their drawings.
‘Alright TikTok, I need your help,’ Megan James shared. ‘Look, I’m wearing my rose quartz and everything. I need love! Oh, my God, I need it! … I need your help to find him.’
Emily Strawn’s video detailing how she paid for the psychic’s service has been viewed more than 3.1 million times.

‘I saw a video two days ago of this girl named Kennedy, and she was talking about how she found this psychic artist on Etsy,’ she explained in the clip.
‘Basically you pay to have him draw what your soulmate is going to look like and he gives a description and tells you when you’re supposed to meet this person or whatever.
‘Me being me, I’m always up for a challenge, so I found that s**t and I bought it!’
In a follow-up clip, she revealed that she was advised not to tell anyone about his prediction, but that didn’t stop her from sharing the psychic gave her a ‘generic description’ of the guy she will supposedly meet in six months.
However, when she went to share a photo of the sketch with her TikTok followers, it appeared to have been erased.
‘I don’t know if it’s like fate telling me don’t do it, don’t mess up your aura girl,’ she said.

Close enough? Victoria didn’t think her husband looks like the guy in the sketch, but some commenters disagreed with her assessment
In a piece for The Verge, Makena Kelly wrote that she had a similar experience with the psychic, explaining that she was advised to keep the information about her soulmate confidential.
‘You should not release to any other soul because the consequences could lead to an energy blockage of your aura and it will interfere with the connection between you and him,’ the psychic told her.
However, some skeptics insisted the warning has more to do with keeping people from realizing they have received the same sketches than aura blockages.
‘They started putting that disclosure because they were sending the same photo to different people,’ one TikTok user wrote.
‘Do you think that maybe they would just tell you to not share it so that they can give multiple people the same drawing?’ someone else asked.
With so many TikTok users showing interest in the service, ThePsychicArtist started his own page earlier this month to promote his work.
