The history of fortunetelling is as old as the history of the mankind. In this
paper, we intend to appreciate fortunetelling as a tool for folklore ad explicate its
social psychological and cultural background. Our subtitles are the definition of
fortunetelling, fortunetelling in old cultures, fortunetelling according to İslam, the
main types of fortunetelling in Turco-islam vvorld, the charateristics of
fortunetellers’ identity and the validity of fortunetelling, the pyschological and
sociological dimension of fortunetelling as a tradition, the analysis of fortunetelling
tradition in terms of folklore.
We come to the conclusion that this application is not limited vvith the
geographical and timely dimensions and involues, anybody coming from any kind of
education and any kind of social class. The roots and the spirit of this tradition
remain the same, although the methods change. Today, the old methods of
fortunetelling have some parallels with the modem fortunetelling vveb pages on the
net. The important thing here is the cultural response that this parallelism provides
for the people.
Man might face uncertainties and problems in his/her life. What brought
the tradition of fortunetelling to our day is its enigma, the urge to solve it
forexample. the sense of curiousity and desire to overcome the problems.
