Do you....

[Guest]

believe in voodoo or any of the mystical arts? Like tarot cards, palm readings, horoscopes, etc....

 

[lovetoread]

Yes

 

[Guest]

Yep.

 

[Shadowann2]

Not really ,but it's fun to play around with just for shits and giggles!

 

[Guest]

hmm...

what makes it all believable? If the things actually were consistent predictors it would be more credible.

 

[Guest]

I believe that most of the junk you see on tv...is not real. I think all the real things are behind the scenes.

I don't think a real voodoo priestess is going to come on tv and discuss her practices and give up secrets.

And what makes it believable... well I guess that it has lasted so long.

 

[Mad_Jack_Rabbit]

Nope. Not in the slightest.

So that is why you believe in it? because of the longevity?

Is there some figure that you think it originates from or is it just some kind of supernatural phenomenom that affects certain people?

 

[Pixie]

Yes

 

[Guest]

Part of it is the longevity.

The other part, is the curiosity. Why do people practice these things unless they really believe that they do work/exist.

I think that its mostly a matter of faith. I think that if you sincerely think that something is going to work...your mind will eventually make you believe that it will.

I believed it ALL...until I found out Madam Cleo was a fake

OK! Did it hurt when I stuck that needle in the eye of my D24 doll?

now you know you can't make a real doll without something that they have touched/belonged to them... LOL

 

[Guest]

rofl

I was just curious about the subject, wasn't bashing it or anything.

 

[Guest]

well do you believe in it D24?

 

[Guest]

well do you believe in it D24?

not realy im pretty skeptical about it, its fun reading the explanations but the whole process is shrouded in mystery that makes it hard to believe it physically exists.

ahh so you have to see it to believe it?

 

[Guest]

not necesarily, whatever form it manifests itself, the story has never been told....if there is doubt around it, why not bring it into the forefront instead of wrapping it in secrecy.

 

[Guest]

because not all things are explained. Either that...or there is no reasonable explanation to be found.

I have used Tarot Cards...and found that I have a knack for them sometimes...I have studied palm reading... I have done all kinds of things... and the unexplained interests me...

Ouja boards... I will always and firmly believe that someone is pushing that pointer thing... and that it never moves by itself. And until I experience otherwise...I will think that way.

true....I guess thats the whole paradox, how are people supposed to believe when the thing is inexplainable.

 

[Guest]

you believe in things by choice... sometimes I don't think it needs explanation lol

 

[TigerClaw]

No
