MENTALISM
MENTALISM Study of Parapsychology, ESP, and other paranormal mental abilities.
PARAPSYCHOLOGY Term coined in German by Max Dessoir (1889) and adopted by J. B. Rhine in English to refer to the scientific study of paranormal psi.
Dr. Joseph Banks Rhine (1895 -1980)

MENTALISM 1. EXTRA SENSORY PERCEPTION: (ESP) A term coined by Dr. J. B. Rhine. The unproven ability to communicate, gain knowledge and information outside the use of the five senses, or cause things to happen using only the power of the mind.
MENTALISM 2. CLAIRVOYANCE: Seeing things that are out of sight; beyond physical vision; also called second sight and sometimes the "sixth sense. "
MENTALISM 3. MIND CONTROL: Supposed psychic ability for one person's mind to influence, alter, or control another person's mind, and therefore their thoughts and actions.
MENTALISM 4. MIND READING: The psychic ability for one person to read the thoughts of another person without communication except by use of the mind.
MENTALISM 5. PRECOGNITION: The attempt to see future events before they happen.
MENTALISM 6. PARAKINESIS: Also known as PK, this is the attempt to control objects by the power of the mind or will; clock stopping, spoon bending, etc. , sometimes also referred to as "mind over matter. "
MENTALISM 7. PSYCHOKINESIS or TELEKINESIS: Supposed ability to cause an object to move by the power of the mind.

MENTALISM 9. TELEPATHY: One or two-way psychic transmission, reception, or communication of one mind to another without the use of the five senses.
DIVINATION The attempt to predict, foretell, or “divine” the future; one who practices fortune telling.
PALMISTRY
PALMISTRY Foretelling of the future through the study of the shape, color, texture, temperature and lines of the hand.
SCRYING
SCRYING Also called "crystomancy" (or Crystal Ball Gazing), the diviner gazes into any shiny object (such as a crystal ball, mirror, or shiny stone) to determine the future and see things past.
Originally diviners used shiny objects only as a means to induce themselves into a trance-like state to enable them to see visions and foretell the future.
Scrying has now evolved where the diviner supposedly sees the future in the object itself.
TAROT CARDS
TAROT CARDS Tarot (pronounced "taro") are the predecessors of modern day playing cards.
TAROT CARDS Tarot cards date back to fifteenth century Italy and a card game called "triumphs. "
TAROT CARDS The deck usually consists of two sets of cards. One (the major arcana) has 22 pictures such as the Fool, the Devil, the Sun, the Lovers, the Hanged Man and Death. The other set has 56 cards (the minor arcana) with kings, queens, knights, and knaves.
Some facts about “cartomancy” (or Tarot card reading).
The meanings of the figures and numbers on tarot cards vary greatly among tarot card readers.
The way the cards are shuffled, dealt, and "read" by diviners are as varied as the practitioners themselves.
Interpretations vary greatly and rarely do two practitioners interpret the cards in the same way.
OUIJA BOARD
OUIJA BOARD It is a device used in fortune telling that consists of a small board on legs that moves about on a larger board with numbers, letters, and words.
OUIJA BOARD The term “ouija” is a nonsense word from the French word "oui" meaning "yes, " and the German word "ja" meaning "yes. "
OUIJA BOARD The Ouija Board is actually an American trademark owned by Parker Brothers, a division of Hasbro toys.
The Ouija Board was patented in 1892 by Isaac Fuld, a cabinet maker who owned a small toy factory in Baltimore.
OUIJA BOARD How does it work?
OUIJA BOARD 1. The “planchette” moves on the board as the result of the operators either consciously or unconsciously selecting what is read.
OUIJA BOARD 2. Sub-consciously the two individuals push the “planchette” around on the board as the result of minute muscular finger movement known in science as "ideomotor movement. ”
OUIJA BOARD 3. The movement of the planchette is not caused by paranormal forces but rather by the unnoticeable finger movements of those controlling the pointer.
OUIJA BOARD 4. Even Isaac Fuld who patented the Ouija Board stated clearly that either one or both of the operators knowingly push the planchette about on the board, or. . .
OUIJA BOARD. . . unknowingly push the planchette about on the board due to “involuntary muscular actions. ”
OUIJA BOARD 6. Proof that this is true: (a) the board won’t answer if the operators don’t know the answers, (b) if the operators are blindfolded and can’ t see the board, the result is usually garble.
OUIJA BOARD: The Question! Since there are no supernatural agencies at work moving the planchette around on the board, does this mean it is ok for Christians to “play” with the Ouija board toy?
OUIJA BOARD: The Answer! NO! While no supernatural or Satanic power causes the planchette to move, what Satan can do is to use the psychological and emotional influences that result from the Ouija Board's use.
Satan can use the Ouija board or any other New Age practice to distract a believer’s trust in God.
Satan will use virtually anything to inspire disbelief, rebellion, and hinder the work of God.
Satan will use any means at his disposal to wage war against you on the spiritual level to try and disable the work of Christianity.
ASTROLOGY
ASTROLOGY A type of divination based on theory that the positions and movements of the stars, planets, sun, and moon at the time of a person's birth have direct influence on a person's life.
One of the keys of astrology is the zodiac. In western astrology, the zodiac refers to twelve zones in the sky and each zone has a star constellation that originally fell within its zone.
Each zone has a name (such as Gemini, Taurus, Leo" etc), and each zone has a symbol.
A horoscope is forecast based upon astrology.
