Fortune-telling is the practice of seemingly predicting the future, usually of an individual, through seemingly mystical or supernatural means and often for commercial gain. It often conflates with the religious practice known as divination. Common methods used of fortune telling include astrology, cartomancy (fortune telling with cards), tarot card reading, crystallomancy (reading of a crystal sphere), and cheiromancy (palmistry, reading of the palms). The latter three have traditional associations in the popular mind with the ...

Psychic Reading

The Concise Oxford Dictionary defines a psychic as "a person susceptible to psychic influence," and a clairvoyant as having a "faculty of perceiving, as if by seeing what's happening or exists out of sight; exceptional insight." These terms define the new type of clairvoyant emerging in almost every city, town or area around the world. No longer does the word "psychic" bring forth an image of an old woman in a long dress or robe, ribbons streaming from her hair, shaking a tambourine and saying, "Cross my palm with silver and I'll tell your fortune," or the guru sitting with legs crossed on a snow-capped mountain contemplating the meaning of life.

Know this so that you may not despair for the good fortune you lost, nor exult unduly because of the blessings bestowed upon you. Allah does not love the arrogant and the boastful.

Muslim Quotes: Meet the Lord

A time will come when the sky bursts apart, obeying its Lord as it must. A time will come when the earth expands, casting out all the creatures that live upon it and within it, and becoming empty; it will do this in obedience to its Lord, as it must. Then all men and women who strive to meet their Lord, will do so.

Muslim Quotes: The Mocked Man

Believers, let no man among you mock another man; the man being mocked is usually superior to the man who mocks. Let no woman among you mock another woman; the woman being mocked is usually superior to the woman who mocks. Do not slander one another, nor call each other by rude names; it is wrong that someone who has embraced the faith, should be called by a rude name. Those who do not repent, are sinners.

Gyromancy is one of the many forms of divination, or fortune- or future-telling that has been used throughout the ages. Gyromancy is not used much in today's modern times, and involves what could be deemed a rather silly practice. Gyromancy involves writing the alphabet on the ground in a largish circle around the diviner. From there, the diviner will spin on their feet until they stop and stumble upon a letter, which then is recorded. Other related archivesdivination, fortune- or future-tell

Divination is often dismissed by skeptics as being mere superstition: in the 2nd century, Lucian devoted a witty essay to the career of a charlatan, Alexander the false prophet, trained by "one of those who advertise enchantments, ...

The Sortes Astrampsychi (The Lots of Astrampsychus), was a popular Greco-Roman fortune-telling guide written under the pseudonym Astrampsychus. The book contained instructions for throwing lots, the result of which would be used to look up prewritten simple sentences by means of a numerical index. In essence, the procedure was similar to the I Ching. The text is known from a dozen of papyrus fragments, and from a Byzantine codex of the 9th or 10th century. The latter is heavily modified, wit ...

Cartomancy is a form of fortune-telling or divination using a deck of cards. The practice of cartomancy has been observed since playing cards first came into use in Europe in the 14th century. Some practitioners (known as cartomancers) have claimed its origins date back to Egyptian times, the art being derived from wisdom given to the ancient Egyptians by the scribe-god Thoth, although this belief is by no means common today. A standard deck of Anglo-American playing cards (i.e. 52-card, four suit set) are used for the p ...
