What does the future hold, dear hernia
- You really want to know?
In The Cattle Raid of Cooley, Fedelm was Queen Medb’s main seer. She wore a speckled cloak and had spirals for eyes/pupils. She identifies herself in the text as a poet rather than a seer, with the gift of “imbas forosnai” - inspiration, insight, foresight. She correctly predicted the outcome of Medb’s desire to invade Ulaid
Her teacher was Scathach, a Scottish warrior woman and prophetess. Bit like Veleda on the continent just with more swords. There’s another text with Fedelm in, but arguments about translation aside, she drew inspiration from river banks. Thin places, ie liminal

Link to possession as divination porthole, geasa too, or reaching states that tip into delirium, speaking in tongues et al. Cults of the Shadow
When all the regulars in a pub go deathly quiet as you walk in, clock ticking as you clear your throat and order something, violence very close
There's a fully developed new model of this from Eric Wargo - his book Precognitive Dreamwork & the Long Self is genuinely really exciting.
Interview with him here but buy the book: https://whatmagicisthis.com/2020/12/12/the-timely-ideas-of-eric-wargo/
His first example in the book is also about his own precogntive dreams of 9/11 IIRC.
I've had a couple of instances of precognitive dreams since I read it. His idea is that we're all experiencing them fairly constantly but we don't notice them 'cos they speak in the dream language of allegory.

thanks for the tip, I've ordered the book
To answer the opening question I tend to use the I Ching more than anything else. As it's embedded in a Taoist framework, if you follow it's advice you tend to act in a Taoist way and are thereforre less of a muppet. Those of you who know me life and have seen me act like a dickhead for extended periods may roll your eyes at this but best believe I was probably not listening to the I Ching in those periods.
It's fucking great, you won't regret it.
This is great when you're working somewhere weird and isolated like a shit village or thamesmead, you get to be some kind of demon for a bit. Best thing to do is to embrace it and talk really loud on the phone too

You've talked about technology being some sort of indicator before. When your stuff starts breaking then something's up.

I feel like Jack Sarfatti in his book Destiny Matrix is trying to hammer home a point by repeatedly referencing Stephen Hawking:
reminds me of the alchemists using code words ("technical terms") to obfuscate what they are really exploring
