context; while fortune-telling is a more everyday practice
for personal purposes.
The art of using magical tools and symbols to gather information
from the Collective Unconscious on the nature of people, places,
things, and events in the past, present or future.

of things that are hidden by various practices. Some of the
most common are: dowsing, astrology, numerology, palmistry,

Spiritualism, however spontaneous prophecy is.
