Fortune tellers have many routes to go to. There are those lines on the hand that some fortune tellers are great at. And the tarot readers are adept with the cards. There could be many more methods and there are enough to believe and encourage them. Fortune reading is a thriving business. Although most are hit and miss conclusions and those who believe, religiously follow what is told to them and in fact some change their way of living. If death is predicted you will find them writing their wills and and so on.
Some fortune tellers read through dregs in your tea cup and predict what is in store and even tell you the kind of person you are. I am not someone who believes in this but amazingly books are written on the subject, as far back as in 1921. If this type of reading deserves books on it surely there must be many who religiously believe in what the fortune readers tell them about them. Some of the books in question are The anonymous Highland Seer’s Tea-Cup Reading (1921) and Cicely Kent’s Telling Fortunes by Tea Leaves (1922).
My thinking is that it reflects the personality of a person in that some drink their tea to the last drop, some leave a lot and some leave just enough which most do. That reminds me. We as kids were told nt to finish our tea to the last drop as it was bad etiquette (lol)
Have you ever gone through this experience and if so did what the fortune tellers have told you appeared to be true?
Truly a fascinating phenomena.
And yes this fortune reading has a name and it is called tasseography. Even a great name and so all the more reason that one should give it a second thought whether to believe or not.

The fortune telling is prevalent in all most all religions of the world. I had many experiences. There are many types as rightly said. Tarrot Reading Numerology Palmistry Clairvoyance Gadde Parrot Reading and many..
In this connection I would like to bring to the notice of the readers my own experience.
I am a regular visitor of Srisailam in
Andhra Pradesh.
I had been to that place in the year 2000 for performing the last rytes of my mother. After the work is over I was waiting for the Bus. It came and the driver told me that there are still 20 minutes.
I was watching outside where there was heavy crowd. I got down and went there to see what it was. A lady was having a cauldron in her hand and was telling to her visitors. I actually wanted a change for Rs.100/-. I just inquired how much she would charge. They told me only Rs.10/-. I asked her whether she can give me change. She said "o.k. stretch your hand.'I did it. she started telling with a great fluency.
I can not give all the details here. But what she predicted was 100% correct.
In the beginning itself she told me that I visited this place in honor of paying tribute to the lady who gave birth to me. I shocked. She told me that I would visit the place again in a motor bike and after that in a car. They exactly happened. Totally amazing.
There are persons who can predict with precision the time of death also.
My own father could predict his date of birth as 13th June 1999. This took place exactly on the said date and time also. I came to know about it only when I was just reading his diary after his death.
A person who knows how to read also knows what to tell and what not and how much. They will not be available to each and everybody.
My Guru was a Muslim. His name was Syed Hussain. He was liking me very much.
He personally spent some amount from his pocket and got a ring made for me and handed over it to me saying 'better you wear it on your index finger. The days are not good nowadays. I am giving it to you because you are my favorite disciple. Whenever I pray for Namaz and if you recollect me I can see where you are". He was not having even a house. He was leading a very ordinary life. He was even saying what orders were passed on the file written by me.
These experiences have made me to believe such things. But always remember that it is only by sheer luck you will get the company of good friends and good Gurus.
Thanks for that long write up on your experience. If there were no believers there would not have been thriving business in fortune telling
We all must keep in mind that that there is no luck or fortune pre written in the book of life mentions in all the holy books. Man is free in his all doings and is responsible for his doing on the Day of Judgement. Actually the main branch of fortune telling is astrology that read just human trends in the birth chart and the trend show what she or he will do in practical life.
Keep in mind the stars how trend not fortune what anybody does is called his or her luck or fortune. Humans trends on birth are awarded by God according to His Mega Plan for men on earth. Each man and woman is for a special purpose on earth but man and woman ignoring his birth trends follow their emotions that lead them poverty and thus they are compelled by poverty to ask the fortune tellers why my luck or fortune is going down.
Astrology is a royal art on earth and its master was King Solomon. We all mus believe in astrology with whole heart because it is the art of reading the planets' motions effecting man, woman and the whole universe. Ponder over the motions of the sun over the universe and its blessings you will wonder.
I know very little of the stars and their formations. As I have said the fact that these things have stayed for thousands of years shows there is substance in them, both astrology and fortune telling.
I wouldn't say that I ha e visited a fortune teller before because there was one right there with me. That was my boss though he was not th3 actual fortune teller his daughter was. I have never believed in this things before or even now. He one day asked me to show him my palms which I did though I had not known at that point that he reads palms. So after he looked at my palms he started telling me what my future would be like. But of course me being who I am I just shrugged and said to him ooh well let's wait and see. Then at the time I was in a long distance relationship and he went ahead and told his daughter about me, and the result that came out about me was that I would join my boyfriend where he was and that we would get married, but I still wasent satisfied with the findings so I let it just hang around me as I waited for the said day when I would go and be with my boyfriend. It has been more than five years and nothing ever happened, no actually something happened I broke up with him hehehe. So I really don't believe in this things I only trust what God has for me.
Most of us who do not believe have subjected ourselves to such experiences just to please those who believed in it. The fact that this activity is going strong shows that there are believers.
