Fortune teller/medium

carbob

Hay was just wondering does anyone know a good fortune teller/medium in Naas or Kildare area with good recommendations please

frozenfrozen

Spend all the money on drinking and class A drugs instead, talking to yourself in the mirror while completely smashed will give you more answers than they can

No, but I can do it myself. Give me €40 and I'll tell you all the vague descriptions and flattering platitudes that you like, and I'll even throw in a book on how they make it look like they're contacting the dead through the use of cold reading and shotgun statements.

Alternatively head on over to the Paranormal forum. They'll be happy to give you the contact details for as many frauds mediums as you like.

Typical, predictable (excuse the pun) replies from people on this site: someone innocuously asks for information and people come down on them self-righteously like the hammers of hell, preaching about why they think such-and-such is 'wrong' for them.

Did ye ever think that the person might have their own powers of discernment (meaning, they would no doubt be fully aware of frauds, amongst other things), not to mention freedom of choice?

If I see someone requesting info on something that I find daft, then I simply don't reply. I might not like it, but I certainly don't feel the need to reply and, say, suggest that the person ought to take Class A drugs and talk to themselves in a mirror (very mature and respectful).

:rolleyes:

I agree with MrMojoRisin. Just because it's not your thing, doesn't mean it isn't someone elses. So no more "sure it's a waste of money" please.

I'd second Sharrows link if you fail to get better replies here.

There are a few things which I am completely morally opposed to in this world and people who lie to the recently bereaved with false information about their loved ones are up there with the worst of the worst. It's a disgusting thought that just because of freedom of choice you should not protect vulnerable people from exploitation and in a lot of cases extortion. It's sickening that these charlatan's are protected in society.

After reading the charter I think I'm allowed to post this, although it might still count as the "no more waste of money" posts which Wibbs doesn't want, so wibbs, delete this post if it isn't allowed.

I went to a lady called Elaine in Allenwood years ago, I don't have her phone number anymore though. She lived near the canal, nearby a pub over a heap of bridges, if you know the area, that might help.
I found her good, but to be honest I dont know if thats because I was in a place where I wanted to hear what she was telling me.

I don't know if I really agree with that, although I understand where you're coming from. I went when I was 18, a couple of months after my mother died. I was a mess, and after going to the medium I felt a lot better. I am not innocent enough to think that she really helped me or anything, but I think what she talked about really helped me to face up to what had happened, or something. I can't really explain it, but regardless or whether or not she was real or phony, it was the best 50 euro I spent and I for one didn't feel exploited. Don't knock what might work for others.

Okay okay for one i am not recently bereaved or anything of the sort i really do not mean to sound rude as i am saying this but my money is mine i earned it and shall spend it as i see fit nor am i innocent i have heard a lot of good things about fortune tellers/mediums and would like to experience it for myself.... Thank you for the information on Elaine in allenwood i will see if i can get a contact number for her

Google 'cold reading' and read the wikipedia article on it. Also check out derren brown's video. Then you will see how they 'know' so much ;-) No harm in reading before going to one at least

If someone seriously had a psychic gift do you think theyd be doing palm readings and the like for a few quid a pop? they'd be world famous. unless they're bound by some moral code, but hey, if mediums had morals they wouldnt be doing what they do would they.

If it doesn't harm anyone, let people take comfort/interest in whatever they need to

Im going to a medium with the girls the end of this month. I hope he tells me he sees a lot of money.

There isn't always no harm.

He'll be the one seeing money. Yours.

I find it incredible that not one psychic has been able to prove psychic ability yet people are only too willing to listen to them.

It's Penn and Teller! But it's still makes a valid point!

Uh huh, tell that to the customer i had before who ran up a 20 grand phone bill ringing psychic lines, see it all the time

Wibbs

Sorry did the bold text bit get lost in the mix?

FINAL warning, if you want to debate psychics go to either the Psychics or Sceptics forums, not here. Back on track please.

I think the OP has received all the helpful information they're ever going to get from a thread like this. There was a little bit of a discussion going on could you maybe splice this thread and move it to the Psychics or Skeptics forum or wherever the appropriate section on this discussion board is for such a topic. Maybe the original post could also be moved to the Psychics forum or a Nass / Kildare section as it would be more suited to the very specific information required by the OP

Wibbs

Good call frozenfrozen as it was likely to go around in further circles. Moved a copy of the original post to The Psychics and Mediums forum.
