Prophets make predictions about future events. The best example how prophecy works is Edgar Caicy, the sleeping prophet, because he illustrates that prophesies, if genuine, do not originate in the prophet's own mind. Whether sleeping or awake prophets receive information, which they pass on as prophecies. The source of this information is an intelligent unseen entity, a spirit, transmitting to the prophet's spirit whatever it is interested to let the prophet and through him other people know.
The prophets of the Old Testament predicted the coming of a Messiah and related topics. Nostradamus predicted a wide variety of events. A contemporary prophet predicted the assassination of President Kennedy. Over time many prophecies were made and many of them did not come true. The problem really is that it is impossible to know whether a prophecy is genuine or just a tool someone uses to make his point. Therefore, prophecies only can be trusted if they come from a prophet with a proven track record like Nostradamus or when the event they predicted has happened.
Divination
Divination is reading signs by an "initiated" found in divers media, for instance, in tealeaves and the entrails of domestic life stock. Before the Roman army went into battle the auguri, descendants of the Etruscans who were knew how to read the liver and entrails of slaughtered animals, predicted the outcome of the imminent battle. It was tradition to always predict a Roman victory. There are no records what happened to the auguri when a battle was lost.
Oracles
Contrary to prophecies Oracles provide answers to specific questions. The most famous was the Oracle at Delphi in ancient Greece, which was the shrine of the god Apollo. A priestess, the Pythia, inhaled vapors emanating from fissures in the earth. That got her into a trance like or semi hypnotic stage and then she answered questions. These answers often were so cryptic that special priests had to figure out what they meant. Nonetheless, throughout antiquity many important people sought the oracle's advice and sometimes this really backfired. There was this king who asked the oracle whether it was the right time to attack the neighboring kingdom. He was told that if he attacked he would destroy a mighty kingdom. The king attacked and lost. The kingdom he destroyed was his own.
Summing up one can state that prophecies, divinations and oracles are frequently unreliable. Nonetheless, they can provide valuable information if the source is proven to be genuine.
The Pendulum
The pendulum can be any small object on a string, that someone holds with two fingers. A ring works fine but an expert I met who is doing most amazing things uses a special arrow shaped epoxy device. The pendulum is as good as the one who uses it.
My sister somehow found out about the pendulum and from then on she used it to get yes or no answers to all the questions concerning her and her children. It worked amazingly well. Sigi, a Swiss treasure hunter who showed up on the island several years ago had a "pendler" back home locate a gold treasure on the map of a Caribbean island. He found 64 kilos of gold, a value of roughly one million dollars.
Sigi was retired. He used to be the owner of the world's largest factory for radiation measuring instruments. He was in contact with the retired director of Germany's state institute for radiation measurements. Dipl.Ing. Dr. Prof. Chris joined Sigi on the island and he was the top expert using the pendulum for just about anything. The many-titled Chris cured my backache and he cured a lady living on a boat from her crippling arthritis. When he hit the corner of a glass table with his shin within several minutes he not only made the swelling disappear; he also closed the nasty gash.
Sigi and Chris conducted experiments on my porch to see whether there was any gold on the island. The reaction was very promising. Then we drove several miles away to triangulate the exact location. Again the pendulum showed a very strong reaction and it really found the exact location of all that gold: main street on St. Thomas with possibly the biggest concentration of jewelry stores in the world. - Next day the two old timers sailed into the sunrise towards fabulous riches pirates and Spanish deserters for sure had buried somewhere on neighboring islands. Chris and his pendulum were ready for action.
Reading Cards
Reading cards is probably the most popular methods to find out "things". - Rosine was from Paris, France. She claimed she was the best left over cook in the world, which actually could have been true. She also was very good at reading the cards. As accurate as her readings were they only could give information about the present and a maximum of three days into the future.
During a stay in Vienna, Austria, I visited a New Age fair. There I met and consulted a card reader. I know a lot about psychic matters but this man surprised even me. He was able to give precise information about important events and situations in my past, which decided future situations and events to come. His predictions went far into the future not only for me but also for my wife. Shortly before meeting him I had consulted my friend, the clairvoyant Rosalinde Haller, who had given me valuable information. This man confirmed her predictions but he was able to provide details Rosalinde could not give me. The cards as one says "were speaking clearly". - Several years have passed since this encounter and as much as I remember his predictions they all have come true.
The cards are a means to establish contact with the spiritual energies, which store the memories of things past and the programs of things to come. With their diversity they enable the reader to explain their meaning in great detail. There are no limitations in the information available; only the talent and abilities of the reader determine how much can be read.
