Think of all the names those with psychic powers been called throughout the years: clairvoyant, fortune tellers, augur, and prophets. There are many different titles given to those who have any type of powers related to second sight, but the actual powers and activities of this group have been the same throughout the years.
Psychic powers can vary tremendously, but they all have one thing in common: the ability to see things that others cannot see with their naked eye. For some psychics this involves communicating with dead people; which is called being a medium. Still others may feel they can read tarot cards or other tools of the trade.
Some people see psychics on a regular basis for psychic readings. It is through these readings that serious life problems are solved, thanks to the believed ability of the psychic to see into the deeper workings of a client's mind.
The reactions to a psychic reading or any display of psychic power vary from person to person. Some people embrace the new information they discover about themselves, while others shy away or become alarmed at what they learn. It is never known what may come out when the reading first begins.
The first psychic that was recorded in history was Dr. Franz Antoine Mesmer. He was born in 1766 and passed away in 1815. During his lifetime, he claimed to be clairvoyant. He was most well known for his healing powers, although the true strength of his powers is still in question.
The Hydesville psychic movement of the 1940s was a big phenomenon and the Fox Sisters were right at the center of the action. Known for their ability to draw out dead people and make them communicate by moving things or making weird sounds, Margaret, Kate, and Leah Fox would put on fascinating shows in their time.
It was not uncommon for some churches to get in on this type of power as well. They would claim to have connections to the dead and the power to cast out demons. Of course, it was quite some time before people (including Houdini) actually started buying into these powers full force.
There have been many times throughout history that people have claimed to have gifts of prophecy and precognitive abilities. Almost everyone has precognitive abilities. A good example is when someone knows who is calling them before they look or answer the phone. Another example is when a person gets a sudden urge to call a loved one, when they sense that something is very wrong.
Also, the term dj vu has been big throughout history but is now related to events where someone may see something in a dream that really comes true.
"Mantic Arts" is another term that refers to a type of historical psychic ability. This is the practice of reading signs and messages through stones, sticks, dice, tea leaves, shells, and other objects. In history, priests were noted to read messages through the patterns made by oil when poured into water. This practice was considered dangerous and was later banned with a penalty of persecution in the Christian world.
The roots of psychic readings go way back to the beginnings of time, where they were ever present in the ancient world. It was known that the King of Egypt kept psychics always on hand as a part of the royal court. They would be consulted for major decisions and of course, they could be imprisoned or killed for giving the wrong answers to the King's problems.
During the Salem witch trials, fortune tellers and anyone else who displayed any type of extraordinary powers were murdered under the Christian belief that they were doing the bidding of the devil.
Psychics are no longer outcast or murdered. Our modern society has embraced psychic reading stores, telephone hotlines, books, and a variety of other outlets.
While the practice of psychics is accepted in today's culture they do still face a lot of criticisms. Many people still question if psychics are really genuine.
While it is true that some people set up shop as a psychic without any real powers, there are many really powerful psychics in our time. You have to take the fakes with any industry in our day.
In fact, science is now proving that every human being has some level of psychic power. These powers are of varying degree, but they can be developed if you are determined.
