What are Ghostly’s 2021 Predictions? In this surprise bonus episode, Pat and Rebecca are joined by mind reader, mentalist, and psychic entertainer Jacob Mayfield for a 2021 reading for Ghostly! Jacob uses home divination techniques that anyone can use without special knowledge (dice, palm reading, and cards). We hope listeners will enjoy doing some fortune-telling themselves using Jacob’s amazing resources (see below). Will Ghostly’s readings come true? Mayfield Predictions with Dice Dice: Astragalomancy This technique dates back to Ancient Egypt and Greece. It is still popular with certain populations in Africa today and is very easy to do with the help of the text below. Make a circle on the ground, take 3 dice, roll them in the circle, and interpret.

We see strong evidence of it starting in Ancient China and India and traveling to Ancient Greece. The popularity of chiromancy has gone up and down over the centuries, but overall has remained. If you want to learn more about Palmistry, Jacob is currently doing a class called “Palmistry 101” through the event app and website Fever.

Some New Age or Occult books will claim that cartomancy dates back to antiquity and nearly coincides with the invention of playing cards.
