Anonymous wrote:DD 13 has been getting into tarot and witch-y stuff lately. I didn't intervene, as I think it's necessary to let teens try out their passions. However my daughter is now claiming that she has the "gift of prophecy", insisting that her dreams tell the future. For instance, when I dropped a jug of milk yesterday, she smiled and said that she "had a dream about this." I don't know if she's joking or not and it's worrying me. Thanks.
This is easy enough to test. Buy a lottery ticket.

I would thank God profusely if this rises to the level of worry in your life.

Tarot has absolutely nothing to do with channeling spirits the way ouija board does.
You can't be real.

She sounds awesome. This is totally normal. Enjoy her. She'll only be this young and naive for a short time

Yeah I’d definitely have to tease and tell her I’ll believe it when she provides the winning Powerball numbers for tonight’s drawing.

Give her a dream journal.

This is interesting to me because I'm Irish Catholic and on my family foresight was always just called "a touch of the Gift," like a thing that obviously happens feom time to time, and is not in any way demonic.
I've had premonitions my entire life, but not in a predictable, harnessable way so it's more of a Thing That Happens than a workable talent. Usually it's sitting through a boring conversation that I've previously dreamt in full, though a few times it'sbeen more violent and I am almost always willing to forego any activity that gives me a vague sense of foreboding so who knows what I've protected myself from.

A lot of people are intuitive (I personally think it’s the voice of God + subconscious awareness). I have practiced magic and it is very real. I am a Christian now. Please don’t let your daughter practice witchcraft: it’s a deal with the devil.

Start calling her “Cassandra” and have her read “The Iliad.”

I hate to say it but this was my first thought too. There was a poster on here a few years ago whose DD started saying similar things. She ended up being diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 16.

It’s harmless. She said she saw that you dropped the milk. Let her do a reading for you. This will pass. She’s 13.
