Product Description

What does the future hold? How can we use everyday objects and signs to discover what's in store? How is divination and prophecy used around the world? What about the stuff in Harry Potter...tea leaf reading, crytal ball gazing, runes and more?

At 89 pages and with DOZENS of images, the Telling Futures eBook will give you a world tour of how humans have sought--and still seek--answers from the Divine..

The classic definition of divination is to foretell the future. Fortune telling, augury, and prophecy are often used interchangeably with the word divination.

However, foretelling the future is but one aspect of divination. Many use divination to uncover past events, as well as those of the present. In that case, divination is not used to foretell the future, but rather, to gain insight into the past or present. This is known as forth telling. For example, in the New Testament, Jesus encountered a woman at the well and said to her "the man you are now with is not your husband." He was not foretelling events, but rather, declaring what was true in the present.

Some forms of divination rely on a tool such as cards, runes, tea leaves and dice, while other forms are an interpretation of body parts or other natural objects such as palmistry, animal behavior, and cloud formations. Yet another type of divination is a direct knowing outside of any tool or natural observation, including dream interpretation, channeling and clairaudience.

The Telling Fortunes Ebook is 88 pages and provides:

*Images and illustrations, including rune symbols and a Pythagorean numerology grid

*Original spreads for intuitive reading, including a Past Life Spread and Life Purpose Spread created specifically for this Ebook

*Animal totems and meanings for divinatory use

*Palm reading graphics to show you how to read lines and mounts

*The Tree Signs of Celtic Astrology and their traits

*Original Chakra Stones Oracle

and much more.
