Fortune-teller (Waarzegger)
Information on this skill...
A fortune teller practices divination, which relates to trying to make certain questions or situations transparent. Another more modern name for a fortune teller is nowadays also called psychic. How exactly a fortune teller or psychic works can differ per fortune teller, because each fortune teller has his own preferences and methods. The profession of fortune teller is very old and already occurred in ancient China, in Babylonia, in Chaldeans and in Egypt. In the past, fortune tellers played an important role within religions and medicine. Nowadays the term fortune teller is almost no longer used but we speak of a psychic. Within divination, astrology and numerology play an important role. In addition, different types of attributes are used such as tarot cards, coffee grounds and the crystal ball to make divination possible. The well-known palmistry is also a form of divination. How exactly a fortune teller works can differ per fortune teller, because a fortune teller can use different techniques to practice divination. In all cases, a fortune teller will perform certain rituals that make divination possible. Whether divination has a certain value for people is further personal and can vary per person. Divination does not have to have a deeper meaning for people in all cases. Within the Netherlands we know the divination mainly from television, in which psychics help people by providing information. In addition, we know fortune tellers and psychics of spiritual fairs, where people can get a consultation. Most fortune tellers or psychics are not professionally active. What the value of divination is of course personal for everyone. Consulting a fortune teller or psychic can also just be a fun experience for people.
A fortune teller or psychic can therefore be regarded as a clairvoyant who predicts the future of people. In order to predict people's future, a fortune teller must have extrasensory skills. How exactly a fortune teller will do this is further personal and can differ per fortune teller. The profession of fortune teller must be regarded as a paranormal profession whose effect is controversial. This is also the case, for example, when we speak of the profession of magnetizer. Another name for fortune teller may also be seer. A seer is a psychic who has certain visions that allow a seer to see into the future. When a seer claims to be able to pass on certain (religious) messages, the name prophet can also apply. In a general sense, fortune tellers can often be classified as artists nowadays. This is because most fortune tellers can also charge a certain fee for their services. In that case, divination usually also has an important entertainment value.
ASTROLOGY
The name astrology is derived from the Greek word astrology and is a composition of astron (star or constellation). The predictions that are made are based on the relationship between the movements of the sun, moon and other planets. Astrology relates to the supposed connections between the fate of people and events on earth. Astrology belongs to the so-called pseudoscience (unprovable). This is the case when we speak of astrology.
TAROT CARDS
Tarot is a card game that consists of 78 cards. Although this card game was once made as an ordinary card game, it was later associated with mysticism and magic. With these maps one can predict the future. The Tarot deck consists of 56 almost ordinary cards and 22 cards with images called Major Arcana. The cards again contain names such as the Devil, Fool, Hermit, the Sun, the Lovers and Death. Those who play the cards regularly are expected to be able to prepare for the future.
CRYSTAL BALL
The crystal ball gives the fortune teller insight into a person's now, past and future. To predict the future, it is necessary to sit in a quiet room without dust. Dust in a room affects the paranormal phenomena, in addition, one should light a candle. Fortune tellers have been using crystal balls for centuries to predict people's future. The effect of the crystal ball can also not be proven in any way. Fortune tellers and psychics still often use the crystal ball today.
PALM READER
A palm reader reads the future of people by reading handlines on the hand. From the left hand the potential of people is read and from the right hand how this is realized in life. Many palm readers believe that influences in life can change the handlines. The most well-known handline is the so-called lifeline. Fortune tellers and psychics often use palmistry to predict the future. Palmistry also belongs to pseudoscience. In other words, there is no evidence that palmistry actually works.
WHAT DOES A FORTUNE TELLER DO:
FORTUNE TELLER TRAINING
There are no national training opportunities for the profession of fortune teller or psychic. There are various external training and courses offered by other fortune tellers and psychics, who claim to be able to learn certain psychic skills. This is remarkable because true psychics must have certain innate spirituality in order to work as fortune tellers. In other words, the work as a fortune teller or psychic cannot actually be learned. Accounting is also important as an entrepreneur.
COMPANIES WHERE A FORTUNE TELLER CAN BE EMPLOYED
In general, a professional fortune teller or psychic should be considered an entrepreneur. In addition, a fortune teller or psychic can simply be active as a hobby. As a fortune teller, you can now also work for television producers or work via the internet. It is also conceivable that a fortune teller is affiliated with an artist mediator. In that case, a fortune teller can be hired for certain events. A fortune teller can also be active as a street artist. As a fortune teller you can in some cases also work for a circus. In that case, the name circus artist may apply. Most fortune tellers are not employed full-time as psychics.
COMPETENCES FORTUNE TELLER
The most important competences as a fortune teller or as a psychic are communication and spirituality. Without the combination of communication and spirituality, it is not possible to work as a fortune teller. In addition, a fortune teller must have an innate psychic ability to come to a consultation. Because most fortune tellers can be regarded as entrepreneurs, you will also have to have a commercial institution. In this respect, networking can also be regarded as an important competence. Generally important words are inspiration, sensitivity, motivation, analytical, performance and professionalism.
LABOUR MARKET PERSPECTIVE AND CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AS A FORTUNE TELLER
The labour market perspective as a fortune teller does not really apply because most fortune tellers must be regarded as entrepreneurs. An entrepreneur will have to determine his own labour market perspective by winning sufficient assignments. In addition, a fortune teller can also simply be active as a hobby. The career opportunities as a fortune teller should be seen as becoming a well-known and important fortune teller. In that case, you can also work as a fortune teller for television or the internet.
TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT AND SALARY FORTUNE TELLER
As a fortune teller or psychic you usually work as an independent entrepreneur or you carry out the work as a hobby. Terms of employment therefore do not apply to the profession as a fortune teller. The salary as a fortune teller or psychic cannot be indicated because it is too specific and can be very different per person. It is true that especially via the telephone or via the internet the income of a fortune teller or psychic can increase considerably.
