I think that confusion with correlation and causation is something to consider about palm reading. Are the lines in our hands a map of our life and future. Or are they simply lines on our hand from the way that our hands fold.]]> 2018-03-30 18:21:58 UTC https://padlet.com/brooklynvr33/x4e50916eco7/wish/247537508 Witches Runes brooklynvr33 https://padlet.com/brooklynvr33/x4e50916eco7/wish/247537831 To read the runes you put your hand into the bag of runes and pull out one then another then another this is called a three rune reading it depicts the past, the present and the future.

It helps to tap into the Higher Self and enhance intuition. And predict things in the future. You can ask it yes or no answers and depending on the direction it swings in is your answer.

Pendulums are a good example of of Mystical energy. These stones on a string are thought to have magical energy that can move on there own. But the deliver could just be moving it themselves. Hard to know but mystical energy sounds n]]> 2018-03-30 18:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/brooklynvr33/x4e50916eco7/wish/247537896 Psychic brooklynvr33 https://padlet.com/brooklynvr33/x4e50916eco7/wish/247537995 A psychic reading is a specific attempt to discern information through the use of heightened perceptive abilities; or natural extensions of the basic human senses of sight, sound, touch, taste and instinct.

Simplicity is a reason of believe that can be connected to why people believe that there dreams have hidden layers that can predict the future.]]> 2018-03-30 18:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/brooklynvr33/x4e50916eco7/wish/247538110 Crystal Ball brooklynvr33 https://padlet.com/brooklynvr33/x4e50916eco7/wish/247538172 A psychic, can use a crystal ball while in a trance, and may see different images in his or her brain while in a light trance. These images can be concrete pictures, symbols or vague impressions. What these images convey are information about situations you are facing and guidance of how to resolve your problems.

I believe that the use of a crystal ball is a connection to the red flag Mystical energy. People claim that crystal balls have magical properties that give off mystical visions into your future.]]> 2018-03-30 18:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/brooklynvr33/x4e50916eco7/wish/247538172 Tea Leaf Reading ~ Tasseography brooklynvr33 https://padlet.com/brooklynvr33/x4e50916eco7/wish/247538227 The diviner now looks at the pattern of tea leaves in the cup and allows the imagination to play around with the shapes suggested by them. They might look like a letter, a heart shape, or a ring. These shapes are then interpreted intuitively or by means of a fairly standard system of symbolism

I believe that the art of tea leaf reading is a good example of the reason of belief Patternicity because that is what one is doing in order to predict your future. They are using the images and patterns in the tea leaves to give you some insight into your future.]]> 2018-03-30 18:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/brooklynvr33/x4e50916eco7/wish/247538227 Tarot Cards brooklynvr33 https://padlet.com/brooklynvr33/x4e50916eco7/wish/247538292 Tarot decks are decks of cards with pictures, symbols words and numbers printed or painted on them. In theory they are supposed to be able to tell the story of the past, give clarity and insight into the present and predict the future.

Tarot cards are a good connection to Perception and Observation. The art of card reading is often left to how you perceive the cards and what they are telling you. Often leaving the messages up for interpretation and not can cause you not to see the reality of them.]]> 2018-03-30 18:27:51 UTC https://padlet.com/brooklynvr33/x4e50916eco7/wish/247538292 Omens brooklynvr33 https://padlet.com/brooklynvr33/x4e50916eco7/wish/247538351 Something that is believed to be a sign or warning of something that will happen in the future

Confusion of correlation with causation is a red flag that can be associated with Omens. If you saw an owl it could be a Omen of a death nearing, or it could be that you just happened to see a owl.]]> 2018-03-30 18:28:18 UTC https://padlet.com/brooklynvr33/x4e50916eco7/wish/247538351 Reflective and Discussion brooklynvr33 https://padlet.com/brooklynvr33/x4e50916eco7/wish/247554331
  • What did you learn about the topic that surprised you most?
    • The topic that surprised me the most was the crystal ball, I didn't know too much about the topic before this assignment. It seams very fascinating but one of the most far fetched tools of divination and i'm not sure if i entirely believe in it.

    1. Provide a real life example of how this topic is relevant or interesting for you.
    This topic is relevant and interesting to me because these type things I find interesting and amazing. Ive worked with Tarot cards, Pendulums and have had readings done by psychics. This topic is very much me.

    1. Which research did you find most interesting? Why?
    What I found the most interesting is the video of The Psychic Twins on how to spot a fake Psychic. It was cool seeing from a Psychics point of view on the fact that a lot of Psychichs are fake.

    1. What are you most likely to remember from this research?
    I am most likely to remember most of what I researched, I learned other forms of divination and how they are perceived to work and it all fascinates me.
