![]() QUESTION - There have been a few questions recently along the theme of asking me for clairvoyant insights into the future of the individual asking the question. Rather than reply individually I'm going to address the general question about foretelling the future (and then link this answer to anyone else who asks a similar question). ANSWER -There is often an assumption that clairvoyance and witchcraft go hand in hand and there probably is some limited truth in this. A witch will naturally be open minded to the possibility of getting glimpses into the future. She may look for signposts in everyday occurences, she may meditate, she may travel the astral and she may use various tools like tarot cards or rune stones. You'll notice I use the term "she may" as there are no mandatory practises involved in the practise of witchcraft and many witches have very little to do with anything that might be considered divination. The point I make is that although a witch may well move in circles where precognition is commonplace it does not necessarily follow that she enjoys this skill herself. Divining the future is entirely separate to what it is to be a witch and it would be a false assumption to assume that any witch you encounter will have a good understanding of what your future will bring. As for me, speaking personally, I do have the odd insight into the future but they are very few and far between and almost always linked to people I know well. I have good results with Tarot but I tend to use this more as a tool to illuminate the present than to see into the future. In short I'm probably not the best person to ask if you want certainties confirming about what the future will bring. The purpose of Ask a Witch a Question is to answer questions publicly so others can benefit from the answers given (and perhaps even offer further wisdom in the comments). The questions that lean toward a request for divination would offer little meaning to anyone beyond the individual querant so they fall outside the scope of what I offer here. Those seeking clarity of their future would do better consulting a professional tarot reader. There is usually a cost for a full reading but the better at their profession will justify the costs with the results. So I apologise that questions like "Can you tell me if I will ever be rich?" Or "Will my husband ever cheat on me?" continue to go unanswered. But in all honesty if I did answer these questions I wouldn't be doing you any favours as not knowing you or your circumstances I'd only be guessing at best. Yes I could do a reading but as there are many other sites offering a tarot service and not so many offering the common sense approach to witchcraft that I offer here I have made the decision to focus on the questions relating to the craft and suggest with kindness and tact that those wishing fortune telling services look elsewhere.
