What method of divination would be used to forsee an event as far as 20-30 years into the future. I understand Tarot is for short time frames. I need this information for a book I am writing that I want to make sure the scene is accurate.

Sounds like a fiction book?? if so, devise your own divinatory tool to be used therein...branches, bones, stones, plants...could be some unknown divination method exclusive to this or that culture/shaman...
otherwise, even tarot can be used as a long distance diviner...being the BS it all really is in bizarre, and the like, the world is truly yours to create... how ya been by the way Pastor Will? Love! Baba |

Nostradamus' tool was just a bong. He gazed into the bubbles.... lol...
A good way would be to calculate the amount of gases and pollutants emitted everyday into the ozone and see how long the earth would last. Then, guess what would happen then... Lets say, extreme green house effects 30 years from now. Just mention, the sun will release bigger fires or something like that... Sound prophetic... It worked for Nostradamus... Joe |

But the weird thing is that Nostradamus mentioned something about a monk who predicted all the Popes + their names and what they will offer/do + the period of their reign...so far he's right! this year he says that we are going to have a new pope who will be somewhat young open minded, but will get assasinated in public....
and the apocalypse will start the day we have TWO popes! (hmmmm church hunting down the line of these two n murdering them?? nice movie! any producer around here? lol)

You would want to use a divination system consistent with the story setting. Runes for a Nordic setting etc...
Astrology is always good...most cultures have some variation on that...same with palm reading or some form of Tarot/card divination. |

Scrying by looking into a black mirror or a dish of water are two methods that might reasonably be used for long-term fortunetelling.
The oracle at Delphi was a woman seated in an alcove where she was probably intoxicated by the fumes from the earth. Her pronouncements were so vague that they had to be interpreted by the priests attending her.

Just a question from my more knowledgable peers: the dictionary describes, "scrying" as looking into a crystal ball to predict the future. Has it developed into further uses over the years, or is that still the correct one?
Thanks for the information. Verne

Haruspication or failing that scrying (with a crystal ball).

Scrying is still used mostly with a crystal ball. Other ways it is done is with a dish of water or a black mirror. Any color-neutral undifferentiated field of vision will work. It is very similar to being snow-blind, looking at the bright white of the snow for so long your eyesight basically shuts down because of no change in input. With so much of your brain assigned to visual input, when that slows down other images come forward from other parts of the brain. The snowblind result is called the ganzfield effect. You can do it with ping pong balls, cut in half and placed over each eye. You have to set it up so all you see is the white of the inside of the ball, no light leaks, variations in light or other input at all. Stay like that a bit and you will experience the ganzfield effect.

Yup, that's Haruspication. Scrying may be more practical! : ) Keith Hart
