You can go way back in time and farther for the existence of authentic psychic readings from all types of people and cultures.
The Greek's word for it was "Psychikos", referring to the soul, spirit or mind.
The ancients would use "seers" before making any decision concerning major decisions for themselves or their people.
One of the most famous seers being the Oracle of Delphi; it is said that the priestess, Pythia, who sat on a tripod would inhale ethylene gas and then mutter words and phrases which were then interpreted as future happenings.
Brings to mind the scene from the film "300" when the writhing oracle told King Leonidas not to go to war, yet he chose to ignore her foreboding...
and we all know how well that turned out! Fast forward to the American West where the Native Americans had their own oracles known as shaman; revered and trusted to see the future of their people.
Research tells us that these shaman "Drinks Water" and "Black Elk" "foresaw the appearance of the white man, the destruction of their culture and homes, and the slaughter of the buffalo.
Some of the prophecies came to the shaman in their dreams, some while under the influence of ritual teas made of plants and herbs.
Sadly, like many other cultures, they were correct and were unable to change their prophecies.
Today there is a plethora of "psychicness", from the tabloids to television to movies; the prophets of doom and gloom to the foreseers of futures.
Makes one wonder for example, if the world is going to end in 2012, then how are all these psychics "seeing" the futures of people's children? Case in point: a very prominent psychic shared with a mother that her infant son was going to be a doctor.
This will take years beyond 2012 for this to come to pass.
The world has seen many doom and gloom dates come and go, and life continued.
