The word does not identify one method
In Bulgarian usage, “vrachka” can refer to someone offering divinatory readings or claiming unusual knowledge. The name alone does not tell you whether the practice involves cards, astrological calculations, ritual or open conversation. Ask about the particular method.
What happens during the meeting
A useful description states the duration, price, format and what you receive afterwards. “A discussion of one question with written notes” is clearer than “a complete revelation of destiny”. If birth data is requested, establish why it is needed.
How to assess the experience
Afterwards, record what was specific, what came from your own account and what remains untestable. Feeling heard can be valuable in itself; it does not establish predictive ability.
