Knowing the future is something that has always intrigued us. Our curiosity is unstoppable, and in a state of higher consciousness, some people have developed the art of predicting the future. From ancient times to the present day, these people are known as prophets, fortune tellers, psychics or seers, and each of them uses his own methods to predict the future. These predictions come from spirituality, intuition, economic theories or scientific basis. There are endless prediction techniques that can be applied to every aspect of life.
Cartomancy– Through Spanish, English, French or German cards, the reader can predict the future through the interpretation of the pictures, shapes, symbols or colors on the cards. The reader will advise the patient about what will happen in his/her life according with what he sees on the cards.
Tarot of Marseilles- It also consists on reading cards, but these cards were especially designed for this purpose. It is a deck of 78 cards, divided in two groups, the Major arcana, with 56 cards, and the Minor arcana, with 22 cards. A Tarot reader must have a deep esoteric knowledge and experience to interpret the images on each card and give the patient the necessary spiritual guidance.
Coffeemancy – It is the art of seeing the past, present and future through the lees of the coffee. A whole ritual is required for that. The coffee must come on a white cup, the coffee must be black and strong, and before drinking it, the person must meditate about what he/she wants to know. After drinking the coffee, the person must slightly spin the cup and let it rest for a few minutes. The lees of the coffee will stick around the cup and the psychic will interpret the lines and images formed in the cup.
Bibliomancy – This method consists on opening a random page of a book with your eyes closed and pointing your finger to a sentence on that page. The text you read should guide you to see about your future or whatever is your concern at the moment. Many Christians use the Bible to do it. In ancient Greece, people used works of Homer and Euripides, and the Romans used Virgil’s.
Chiromancy – Some people believe they can see the past and the future through the palm of our hands, its different lines or marks. This practice comes from India and is used all over the world. It is a useful method to describe people’s personalities, reactions to experiences and to check for diseases.
Tobaccomancy – It is the art of reading tobacco or cigarette smoke and ash, in order to see the past, present and future. People who practice this method ensure that their recommendations must be taken seriously.
