images (3)

Have you heard of some food that brings out your psychic powers? Check out how many psychic food you have eaten today by reading thru this article.

Sometimes we oversee the spiritual side of a 12-ounce coffee to go, or a fruit salad in a plastic cup. But the staples of the modern diet offer more than just sustenance. In a single day, you might encounter dozens of foods that belong to a worldwide cornucopia of fortune-telling tools, foods whose familiarity belies their mystical heritage.

You don’t have to put down your spork, of course. It’s perfectly safe to swallow clairvoyant cantaloupes. But read on to learn how spiritual advisors have for centuries divined the future from your grocery list.

The Most Common Psychic Foods

Onions – The humble onion of stew, ratatouille, and burger topping fame is rich in both Vitamin C and symbolism: just as we seek to discard the illusions in our lives, we peel away the translucent layers of the onion. Appropriately, the European tradition of cromniomancy looks to these geometric marvels for spiritual help. Unlike some forms of divination, cromniomancy is easy to try at home. Next time you’re faced with a vexing dilemma, say a choice between two romantic interests, carve their initials on separate onions. Whichever sprouts first is the one for you.

coffee-beans-grounds-recycle-reuseTea leaves and coffee grounds – Search the residue left after a warm drink of tea or coffee for symbols, letters, or even faces. Do you see any familiar patterns? Generally, the closer a picture is to the rim of the cup, the sooner the event it foretells. You might make out things that don’t immediately make sense (what’s that duck doing in your query about a promotion?), or that only seem like half an answer. For better or worse, tea leaf reading is open ended, making it ideal for practiced readers and challenging for the less proficient.

download (5)Coconuts – With its hard, hairy shell and soft, creamy interior, the coconut is a biological and culinary wonder—and in the West African system of Obi divination, it’s also a tool for foretelling. Yes or no questions are instantly answered by flipping a few chunks of the coconut shell. Based on the way they land (shells up or down), you’ll learn what the spirits think of your situation. In places where coconuts are hard to come by (like Canada in the winter), Obi practitioners substitute cowrie shells.

Burning herbs – Why would you ever burn a fresh bundle of sage, lavender, or thyme? If you needed a little spiritual wisdom, that’s why. Not only do these herbs smell heavenly when lit, but their smoke rises in curling tendrils that are perfect for gazing and divining. Each herb has its own spiritual significance, too.

Lavender is the king of restful sleep, and sage is the best in the business of aura cleansing.

download (6)Fruit – For the skilled psychic reader, the produce section of the market is good for much more than cobblers. Ripe fruit is the fertile womb of a plant: life-giving, feminine, and sweet. Like asking a wise grandmother, this maternal energy has endless foresight and intuition to share with you.  According to folk wisdom, fruits with peels and rinds, like apples and oranges, can be divined by sweeping a peeler around the surface to shear one long ribbon. Toss the peel over your shoulder and read the shape it assumes. Moreover, each fruit possesses its own talent, spiritually speaking. The peculiar, spiny pineapple is an improbable symbol of hospitality and generosity, long known to imbue a new house with warmth and a fabulous centerpiece. So if the guy your tangerine peel told you to pursue invites you over for a home-cooked meal, don’t forget that pineapple.

The Pros and Cons of Food Divination

If fruits and vegetables have so many psychic powers, why don’t they get as much attention as, say, Tarot cards?

While the mystical foods on this list are generally easy to come by in your local supermarket, they’re considerably less straightforward to divine. Divination by coconut is the clearest, because it provides yes or no answers. But when you’re faced with complex situations, like repairing relationships, raising children, or resolving delicate career matters, the coconut may not be enough.

Similarly, choosing between romantic suitors with an onion is appealingly simple, but you’ll have to wait a few days for an answer. When the onion finally does sprout, you’ll know which relationship is right, but not why. Moreover, if you’re at the point of consulting an onion for help, you probably want a little more insight, anyways.

Reading tea leaves, fruits, or smoke tendrils is surprisingly challenging for beginners. The learning curve is steep because, unlike in a system of Runes or Tarot cards where every symbol has a history and well-traversed interpretation, absolutely anything can show up. Sometimes a clear picture with an even clearer meaning will appear in the leaves. But just as often, the bottom of your teacup looks like a triangle, or a boat, if you tilt it, and it’s not obvious what exactly this has to do with you.

So if your plate is full of both small questions and raw onions, go ahead and see what answers you can divine. But when you’re up against tough issues, the life-changing, long-term, big deal questions, a psychic advisor can take over where the pineapple leaves off.

The Difference Between a Fortune Teller and a Psychic

FreeOnlineFortuneTellerBotFortune-telling is the practice of predicting information about a person’s life. The scope of fortune-telling is in principle identical with the practice of divination. The difference is that divination is the term used for predictions considered part of a religious ritual, invoking deities or spirits, while the term fortune-telling implies a less serious or formal setting, even one of popular culture, where belief in occult workings behind the prediction is less prominent than the concept of suggestion, spiritual or practical advisory or affirmation.

The term “fortune teller” is a term sometimes mistakenly used when you hear someone talking about a psychic. The word fortune teller was a more commonly used word back in the 1960’s and 1970’s to refer to someone who was a psychic.

But unlike in the 60’s and 70’s, nowadays this word  has a negative connotation when using it to refer to someone who is  an authentic psychic. It refers to a gypsy, which is a very different, and dangerous type of person! I am going to talk about how to avoid these dangerous and deceptive types of con artists, so that you don’t get caught up in one of their gypsy scams.

The difference Between These Two Words?

The term fortuneteller has a negative connotation today, and should never be used when referring to a reputable psychic who gives authentic psychic readings.

These tellers of fortune often have neon signs out front of their offices advertising their supposed abilities to be able look into your future.

They often offer very low prices for their “readings” (around $25 to $40 dollars) in order to lure you into their office of deception. These are people with true psychic gifts – but they have been pulled to the dark side by greed, discovering they can make lots of money when using their abilities for evil.

Once you have been lured in by their cheap prices, they use their psychic ability to con you out of large sums of money. They tell you a family curse is the cause of all your woes, and then tell that if you pay them, they can remove the evil curse that is causing all of your heartache.

Cons Used By Psychics Who Went To The Dark Side

This is the con that they all use. It usually involves removing a family curse, or some kind of cleansing that you need – and you always have to pay them to remove it!

What turned out to be a cheap reading, ends up costing you thousands of dollars when it is all said and done. These criminals bleed their clients bank accounts dry until their victims have no more money left to give them. At that point, they move onto their next victim!

No matter how smart, intelligent, or educated you are, these predators are good at what they do, and they know how to bleed money out of anyone who walks into their office! They are experts and pros at this con game! No one is safe from them!

The best way to avoid this scam is to understand, that without exception, that these con artist psychics live in every city in America, large and small!! No matter where you live in the USA, there are several in your city already!

Here are 4 warning signs that will tell you if the psychic reader is con artist:

red_warning_sign_2 Professional psychics DO NOT have neon signs, or large signs of any kind in front of their offices!

– They do not use Madame, Ms., Mrs. in front of their names.

– They do not keep calling you on the phone after your reading, or texting you, asking for gifts, such as cash, gift certificates, etc.

– They do not tell you a curse is the cause of your problems to scare you into spending hundreds of dollars to have it removed. (Even if you did have a curse on you, removing it would be included in the cost of your reading, and it would be removed as part of your session. I remove them all the time, and there is no extra charge, because they are usually very easy to remove!

How To Find A Psychic You Can Trust

A professional psychic is someone who you find by word of mouth, hear on the radio, read about in a magazine, find on Youtube, see on a TV show, talk show, news interview, or works in a new age bookstore or at a psychic fair.

Legitimate psychics do not use deceptive means to try and get money from you. When you have a reading from a professional psychic, there is no extra money involved to remove a family curse.

Many professional psychics teach classes, workshops, do healing work, sell their books, gemstones, or other psychic products!

So they may recommend attending one their classes or workshops, or having some type of healing work performed, but it will not involve removing curses, nor will it involve them trying to bleed you of your total savings account!

psychic-260x300Here Are 6 Signs Of A Legitimate Psychic:
1. They give you a psychic reading that may include solutions, insights, and guidance

2. They may suggest attending certain classes they believe will help you

3. They may recommend certain gemstones you should work with

4. They may suggest other healing work, such as an aura cleanings, a chakra balancing, Reiki, etc. Usually, a good psychic is already trained in performing these healing sessions.

5. They will usually suggest a return visit every 3 months

6. They will NEVER tell you that you have a family curse that needs removed but it will cost you a few hundred dollars extra to remove it!

You Need To Use Common Sense 

Common sense will tell you the difference between when you are being conned, or being helped. You can be almost 100% guaranteed that if you avoid the “psychics” that show any of the warning signs I told you about, you probably never being conned by one of these charlatans!

Fortune tellers are very different than psychics. Fortune tellers know how to con you into giving them the fortunes you have saved or acquired up to that point in your life! An authentic psychic will not only offer you priceless information that will help you, but a real reading will change your life for the better!

The Future is In The Cards

Many psychics who work with us classify themselves as “card readers,” This type of reader uses a deck of cards to guide him or her through a session with a client. These cards generally are printed with an image that carries a meaning that helps inform the psychic of the client’s life situation, depending upon where the card falls in the “spread,” or pattern in which the cards are laid out. While the images on the cards do impart meaning, this method of psychic reading is not just a matter of memorization for the reader. A talented psychic uses the cards as simply a tool to “bridge the gap,” i.e. make the connection to the client psychically. His or her psychic gifts then are used to give context to the information in the cards and to make that information specific and relevant to the client’s life.

No one is certain of the real origin of the first psychic cards (commonly known as tarot cards). The oldest tarot decks were hand-painted. Scholars and researchers believe that originally cards may have been created on pieces of leather or decorated wooden blocks. Most of the surviving ancient tarot cards are heavily worn by use and in poor condition.

There is no real evidence that that proves these cards were around before the mid-13th century, but most of the symbols depicted on the cards are ancient. Many believe that gypsies were the original fortune-tellers/card readers. They were nomadic peoples that seem to have originated in India and the Islamic nations. As they traveled through Italy, France, Spain, and eventually to England, the tarot cards traveled with them. Versions of the fortune-telling cards developed everywhere and were handed down from generation to generation.

The earliest tarot deck that still exists date back to the late 1300’s; only 17 of its cards remain. They are thought to have been hand-painted for King Charles VI of France by the artist Gringonneur.

Tarot Card Basics

While certain cards, like the Juggler (Magus), The Devil, the Pope (Hierophant), Death and the Judgment card seem to reflect medieval European culture, others, like the High Priestess and the Moon, are pagan imagery.

Most basic decks are structured and numbered in two ways. The Trump cards are 22 cards which includes The Fool, which has the zero value.

The remaining 56 cards are divided into four suits. The most common traditional Italian suits are Swords, Batons, Coins and Cups. In modern tarot decks, the Batons suit is commonly called Wands, Rods or Staves, while the Coins suit is often called Pentacles or Disks.

Trumps are known as Major Arcana cards, while the while the rest of the cards are the Minor Arcana. Please note that the word “Arcana” comes from of the Latin word arcanum, which means “secret”.

The court cards show 4 each of the King, Queen, Knight and Page. Regular playing cards have 4 Kings, Queens, and Jacks (which are the mirrors of the Pages).

Tarocchi Cards

Full decks of Venice Tarocchi cards (mid 1500’s) are still in existence.

These psychic cards got their name from these decks, known as the “Triumphs” and later called “Tarocchi” which means “tarot” when translated from the French.

There are several types of Tarocchi decks that were developed in France and Italy in various regions.

Tarocchi of Venice (Lombardi deck), has the same structure as a deck of modern Tarot cards. Tarocchi of Mantegna, has five series of ten cards each. Tarocchino of Bologna has only 62 cards. There are no court cards. This deck may have been created by Francois Fibbia, who was the Prince of Pisa.

The creator of the Lenormand cards was said to be Marie Anne Adelaide Lenormand (born 1772 died 1843) from Normandy, France. She was orphaned at an early age and was educated in convents.

The legend has it that Marie arrived in Paris in 1786. She was a gifted psychic who advised the rich and famous throughout Europe. Lenormand’s clients included royalty and many famous people of the time. She was a psychic to the French Revolution leaders (Marat, Robespierre), Russian Tsar Alexander I and Napoleon I and Empress Josephine.

She was a controversial writer and was thrown into prison from time to time. Lenormand claimed to have been taught her card reading skills from Gypsies. Her uniquely designed tarot cards were created with her student Madame Breteau. Breateau published the deck 2 years after Lenormand died.

She had a long career in fortune-telling and was an author of over 12 books. She is said to have left over 500,000 francs when she died. Marie may have been the most famous card reader of all time.


Zener Cards Zener_cards_(color).svg

Zener cards are not really psychic cards, although they do have metaphysical symbols. They were developed to test for extra sensory perception (ESP). These 5 simple symbol cards were developed by psychologist Karl Zener in the 1930’s. Zener and his associate, parapsychologist J. B. Rhine, used them extensively in their studies.

The Zener cards are: a circle (one curve), a cross (two lines), waves (three vertical wavy lines), a square (four lines), and a star (five-pointed). Each deck comes with 25 cards, five of each design.


Rider-Waite Cardst-rider

Arthur Edward Waite and Pamela Colman Smith met in 1903, at the mystic society The Order of the Golden Dawn. Waite was a spiritual scholar and one of the Grand Masters of the Order.Smith was a talented actress and artist.

Waite’s intentions came alive with Smith’s detailed designs. The printing press made wide distribution possible. The deck includes 78 cards with designs for number or pip cards, as well as the minor and major arcana.

Pamela Colman Smith’s role in the card initially was minimized. The tarot deck was named the Rider-Waite Deck after Arthur Waite and Rider, who was the publisher. But it was her images that remain some of the most popular and powerful metaphysical symbols.

These standard decks, shuffled before each reading, offer an infinite number of alternative interpretations based on how the cards fall. This is the most famous tarot deck of all time.

Many advisors on Psychic Elements use psychic cards as a divining tool to enlighten those who seek the truth about their path. The power of the tarot promises that more will be revealed to those seek their truth.
