  1. #Jews Are #Magic,” opening this month at #YIVO’s #Manhattan headquarters, explores the #Jewish fascination with #mysticism, #fortunetelling, #amulets, #psychics and #occult practices. While the exhibit reaches back to the #biblical and #Talmudic periods, its main focus is on the mid-19th century to the early 20th century. In the face of increasing urbanization, oppression in #Russia and the pull of #assimilation, Jews in Eastern #Europe and #NewYork’s Lower East, no less than their non-Jewish neighbors, found solace in the occult.

    “In this time period, when people commonly think that sort of magic is getting left at the wayside and people are becoming more modern, they’re just as engaged with these unseen realities as they were beforehand,” said #SamuelGlauber, a specialist on the Jewish occult and adviser to the exhibit.

    And it wasn’t just the huddled masses. Writers, intellectuals and scientists were fascinated by the #supernatural..."

    This might backfire guys.

  3. The town of Elsewhere has been lost to time. Hidden by a remote mountain, it is unreachable to the outside world, its history and townspeople the stuff of ghost stories and cautionary tales. Each poem and accompanying oracle card represent a person, place, or item from Elsewhere. Together they tell the story of the forgotten town. The Elsewhere Chronicle by Michele Battiste is "Such a beautiful book and unique concept."

  15. A lot of religious practices seem kind of silly, but taking the auspices makes sense. #Birds are hyper aware, and they are in such a great position to observe us, they clearly know what's going on.

    "Umm, let me get back to you on that one... 🤔 I'm thinking maybe a Mystagog's Mystery Meatball Emporium? 🍝🧮 It'll be like a secret menu item at your fave Italian joint, but instead of just "good luck" or "enjoy", the fortune teller will give you a hint about what kind of meatball it is! 🤔😱 #mystagogs #fortunetelling #meatballs #bizideas"

  24. One of the primary forms of fortune-telling in the Islamic world was bibliomancy, in which people would flip open a book to a random page, plunk down their finger, and then interpret their future based on the image or text they had selected. Sometimes this was done with the Quran, but Persian people in the 1500s and 1600s produced books full of lavishly decorated paintings for the practice.

  26. #tarot, #tasseomancy, #lenormand, #cartomancy and #fortunetelling séance étiquette as a skeptic - a thread for diviners and attendees #divination 🔮

    If you ever happen to be in a group performing as a tarot skeptical not open to the experience, I ask you kindly as a professional to leave before I have to ask. It's not bringing anything positive to anyone present (including you) and telling a practitioner their bullshiting while they are doing their best is an utter lack of respect, especially-

  28. One of my main problems with the Rephrasing Advice Lists for #Tarot is that they all too often presume that the relationship is going great and just encouraging the doubtful partners to try harder instead of getting to the truth.

    It's bullshit toxic positivity that enables bad relationships instead of just answering the goddamn question/s.

  29. …And that is one of the reasons why I hate these “but I don’t believe in Fate I believe in Free Will” explanations coming from anti-Prediction #CardReaders out there, life ISN’T fair for MANY if not most people, and there’s no way we can be in control of every aspect of our lives, especially childhood. Some people are just lucky.

  30. @yaitorr okay, I'll play 🙂

    WAY messier than yours!

    Nothing particularly exciting about it. Left Mac is my work Mac, right one is my personal one, which I swap in when doing my own stuff. #ikea motorized standing desk.

    My nemesis is cables. I've knocked over more than one waterglass with them 😨 Need them better organized.

    Artwork over desk is #balinese #fortuneTelling artifact (I believe). The 2 bird prints to the right I got in Sebastopol CA.

  32. I'm trying to remember that it may not always be like this (#fortunetelling #cognitiveDistortion). But right now, basically find after most days of #therapy I'm like "my clients are awesome and I love doing this". I'm even enjoying doing clinical notes. Of course, all of this is also related to the fact that right now I'm not overwhelmed with clients; I've got the time to feel like I can focus on each one.

  33. #Twitter #Elon
    How to be a successful fortune teller:

    Predict early and predict often.

    Today's prediction:

    It will come to pass that Elon will conduct targeted purges of the remaining staff at Twitter, feverishly interrogating suspects, rewarding informants, employing ex-Stasi advisors, seeking to root out those who have remained behind with the goal of disrupting Elmo's grand goal for his global megaphone.
