Brief Psychic History

Fortune telling dates back to ancient times. Years ago psychics were otherwise known as peers and prophets. Earliest beliefs concerned astrology and the study of the planets and the influence the planets had on a particular individual. The time and date of birth is referenced by the positioning of the planets. The subsequent planet movements and interactions can provide a map of life or a mirroring of a person’s moods and decision making process. Fortune telling in European countries was considered sinful for many centuries and religious orders opposed the practice. Some still frown on the practice.

A lot of fiction novels have been written that contain elements of psychic phenomenon that are convincing and make for enjoyable reading. Many movies, too, explore the psychic. A good example from 1999 is “Sixth Sense” where a young boy is able to communicate with the dead. Another Bruce Willis film called ‘Unbreakable’ explores the main character’s dawning realization that he possesses a strange human ability or psychic power.
