Clairvoyants/astrologers

[kitty kat]

Would you ever go to see a clairvoyant? Do you believe in what they say or not? Why?

Was at one years ago and was conned, told me crap that never came true.Cost me £40 for the privelidge. I have loads of psychic mates but nothing comes true what they say either. Though my mate did visit a psychic who knew i was preg before me and she never met me and I wasnt even there when she said it . That was a bit weird alright, she said i was having a boy though and got the dates right.

I dont really think alot of most of them as i aint prepaired to part with alot of cash for finding out I like things like cats and flowers. They should be free or at least cost a hell of alot less as it shouldnt be taken so seriously.

Utter sh1te. Never been to one and more likely to buy the aforementioned beans.

Bollocks I'm afraid. My mum was always into them.

Basically they ask general loaded questions and use all the bits they pick up from the answers to tell you something that seems insightful.

Add that to a receptive believer, and 'OMG how did she KNOW!!' ensues...

Not been to one myself, sister is into all that stuff. She went a few years back and described some stuff about me to her. Also told her that her and me apparently have some sort of psychic power ourselves...

Its all Derren Brown psychological trickery.

Would be nice if it was true, but there isn't an afterlife anyway so there's no use wishin'.

Agreed, utter wank, read up on cold reading.

The missus an her mates had one round about a month ago, some of them came out impressed, and some of it did sound impressive. However, were I to have been in the room at the same time I wonder how much non-verbal cues I'd have picked up on being given off by the person being read.

Its largely based off people remembering what the psychic got right, and discarding anything that they got wrong. For instance, take Dragonflys example. Ignoring the fact that she probably said something along the lines of "A friend is pregnant, it will be a boy...." and thus ignoring that statistically speaking that could be said to anyone and they'd probably hit the bullseye. Anyhow, that story would probably have never got a mention had she said "err a friend is pregnant, it will be a girl, born in november" this would have been completely wrong and thus deemed a non-event, thus the psychic would be labelled as crap, and so just because they hit the spot on one thing, they gain credibility.

Seriously, if all these people can speak to the dead, why is it we never hear details about what happens when we die, specifically. Is there a god? Jesus? Buddah? Satan?

I'll only be convinced if I went to one and they started doin some exorcist shit like talking in my grandfathers voice, I;d be hard pressed to debunk that. Since I will always have something much more worthwhile spending my money on, I doubt I will ever get a chance to test this out.

It's a load of shit and anyone who believes any of it has a fucking screw loose, including my mum who I am convinced is going slowly senile.

You missed out the 'they're bleeding the desperate dry with peddling false hope'.

Astrologers are worse as they like to pretend theres some science in it... has the loss of a planet upset their 'science' at all?

I don't think clairvoyance and astrology can be compared; one is a lone nutter who says they're in contact with the other side, whilst the other does have quite an in-depth "science" to it. Neither of them however will tell you where the cash is buried, whether your father forgives you, the name of your secret admirer or what the lottery numbers will be on Saturday.

I'd get as much useful knowledge out of my cat. But he's a Scorpio and only thinks with his dick.

I think someone who is good, could offer you a few insights into your life, under the guise of it coming from the spirits, but I think most are clueless.

I was once in a night club and some woman was coming around doing tarot card readings and she clearly didnt have a clue what the cards stood for.

When the temperance card came up, she said that that meant the person had a temper.

Whats a bit scarey, is some women live by these things and various half-baked advice from friends.

At least horroscopes in the paper are designed to be fairly innocuous and not lead people to do anything stupid.
