A 2 Z – 2026 – Fortune Telling

F is for…FORETELLING THE FUTURE

Fortune telling has been practiced for millennia by people who believe they have the power of clairvoyance. In other words, they try to tell/read the future by many different means. Some use tarot cards, while others, do palm reading, and read tea leaves. Those that practice numerology, use numbers and math to predict a person’s future path. There are also those who study handwriting (graphology), or consult the Ouija board.

Many of these are believed to be only guesswork, but I believe there are some people who truly have a gift of knowing things. Most will ask a customer who seeks to know the future, some general, vague questions that could apply to anyone. Whether the predictions and advice given will come true, is never certain.

The act of fortune telling, or psychic readings is banned in some countries, and in others, it is only a misdemeanor, especially if they charge a fee for their services. It is also against some religions.

Mystery Box Chickens are sitting by (and one is on top) a crystal snow globe ball, and they say, “What’s My Future?” and  “It’s a Surprise”.

SOCS – dict 

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Dec. 10, 2022

***

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “dict.” Find a word that contains “dict” and use it in your post. Have fun!

***

dictation – I used to know how to take dictation using shorthand symbols. It was pretty fun knowing how to do this. I only did it on one job I had, though. I wish I’d kept up using it, because I doubt I could read or write it any more. Right off the top I do remember how to write ‘Dear Sir’, haha

predict – A poem and a photo of a crystal ball with a skull inside – posted in 2020 (see below)

dictionary – I love reading the dictionary. So many words and definitions. Pages and pages of them to learn about. Lots of them I know, but there sure are some strange words I’ve never heard of. Makes me wonder how a word would get started from nothing, to being used in common language.

This was from 2020, but I still like it.

A crystal ball

Predicts the fall

The future not seen at all

Shake it like a magic 8

Hope and pray it’s not too late

May humans heed the call

The Anniversary

~

Today she would find out if her entire life was a lie.

Jiggling her foot and twisting a strand of hair through her fingers, Marissa closed her eyes and prayed, “Let it be good … let it be good”.

But, it wasn’t.

Gripping the edge of the table where she sat she willed herself not to pass out. Happy noises, jangly music, and carnival smells faded to the background of her consciousness, as the old fortune teller continued gazing into her crystal ball.

With a gasp, Madame Sophia clutched her chest. “Get out … get out now…”.

“What? What do you mean?” Marissa stared at the old woman.

“Leave now; I don’t give readings to ghosts.” She made the sign of the cross, then turned her back.

Confused, Marissa glanced at the crystal ball. She saw a granite gravestone with her name and dates of birth and death carved there. She’d died a hundred years ago on this very date.
