Spirit boards are known to communicate with spirits but it can also be a way to get questions answered involving the future. You can ask a question and receive an answer of yes or no.

Spirit boards are definetly in relation to agenticity because of the fact that it deals with spirts/angels.

People who use spirit boards are usually using it for an emotional reason. They may be sad or hopeless and want an angel/spirit to help guide them to their future.

Just like most fortune telling techniques this is also used to gain money because we have seen it being used in movies and also sold in stores.

Predicting future with astrology is like the daily horoscope reading. I actually have a book on my horoscope and at the back it would say future predictions.

When you read future predictions you may experience confusion with correlation with causation. You may believe something is happening because the book said it would when in reality you are just confirming it with this reading when in reality it is just chance.

I believe people may want to believe based on hope. They may emotionally feel hopeless and they look to see good things coming in the future.

This is definitely used for money to do things like sell books.

With tarot card readings it is basically based on being random there is no actual link between the card being chosen and your question. This can deal with confusing what is happening based on fate instead of realizing that it is random.

I have actually gotten a reading with tarot cards before and I found I wanted to believe because I liked the idea of there being something greater than this and that you could have questions answered based on a spiritual connection.

Video 3. Predicting future with Tarot Cards

# data[].attributes.body
A method to predict the future is with tarot cards. Once the deck is shuffled the cards will be placed out and whatever cards are shown are the cards that will answer your future questions and worries.

The lady in this video is performing a tarot card reading.

In this video their is evidence of agenticity. The woman begins with talking about animal spirits and says that they are angels that watch over you.

There is also an emotional connection. She says that the spirits are a way for you to never be alone which could be a comfort for some people who feel lonely.

There is definitely a confirmation bias with readings because the people who are reading are never specific so it is easy to relate yourself to many different attributes.

There is also the red flag of mystical energy because the terminology she uses makes no sense. She will use words like energy and great divine which will convince people that she knows what she is talking about.

There are many predictions on record that people have made that are said to have come true.

In this video a woman has predicted many events that they found to relate to actual events that did happen.

One of the red flags I noticed is that there is confusion with correlation with causation. It states that she can predict the future because she is blind when she is just blind because of an accident which doesn't actually have real evidence of coming because of a gift.

Another thing is confirmation bias. The woman said that there will be an African American president and that he will be the last president. However we are using this information to confirm that the predictions are true when in reality there is a chance of this happening no matter what due to the percentage of African Americans. We are also ignoring the fact that she was wrong about that being the last president due to another president being elected.

A reason why people may believe this is based on simplicity. She said that a president will be African American and there was so we are saying it must be true.

Did This Woman Predict 2017? Baba Vanga is considered a prophet by many who met her. Blind and aged, she had an uncanny knack for predicting the future - she forecasted 9/11 and Barack Obama's Presidency. But perhaps her predictions for 2017 are the most disturbing of all... Could they be true?

Video 1. Predicting Love Life with Palms

# data[].attributes.body
Many people read palms as a way to predict the future. It is believed that the lines on your palm tells about who you are and what will happen.

This video predicts your love life. It goes over what each line means and you can follow along and see what your lines say about your future love life.

In this video it has really generic information. People can easily see themselves as any of these descriptions which would lead them to believe it is true. For the first one the three options are independent, romantic and devoted. People can be a little of all three especially if you are romantic you are usually devoted to your partner as well.

Palm reading has the read flag of emotional because people could be scared of the future so they want to know answers. For example if someone is scared they can't have babies they might go to see what their palm says about children. Another red flag is confirmation bias because of the fact that you can confirm palm reading based on very generic information.
