Fortune-telling is the practice ofpredicting information about a person's life.[1] The scope of fortune-telling is in principle identical with the practice ofdivination. The difference is that divination is the term used for predictions considered part of areligious 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 ofsuggestion, spiritual or practicaladvisory or affirmation.
Historically, fortune-telling grows out offolkloristic reception of Renaissance magic, specifically associated withRomani people.[1] During the 19th and 20th century, methods of divinationfrom non-Western cultures, such as the I Ching, were also adopted as methods of fortune-telling in western popular culture.
An example of divination or fortune-telling as purely an item of pop culture, with little or no vestiges of belief in the occult, would be the Magic 8-Ball sold as a toy by Mattel, or Paul II, an octopus at the Sea Life Aquarium at Oberhausenused to predict the outcome of matches played by the German national football team.[2]
There is opposition to fortune-telling inChristianity, Islam and Judaism based on scriptural prohibitions against divination. This sometimes causes discord in the Jewish community due to their views on mysticism.
Terms for one who sees into the future include fortune-teller, crystal-gazer,spaewife, seer, soothsayer, sibyl,clairvoyant, and prophet; related terms which might include this among other abilities are oracle, augur, and visionary.
