Psychics

Psychics have been around for as long as history has been recorded by people. They have been called different names throughout the years including: mediums, wizards, clairvoyants, spiritualists, necromancers, and witches among others. They have not always been as popular as they are today.

Walk down any city in the United States today and you are bound to see at least one psychic. At certain points in history they have been singled out for banishment, punishment, or in some cases death.

From Ancient History

They were very popular in ancient Egypt and were an integral part of the royal court. They were consulted for decisions both large and small and their abilities were heralded by all. They influenced wars, decisions about crops and even held sway in choosing government officials. They were not however without fault and when wrong they were held responsible. A failed battle or unpopular appointment of an official often led to prison time or even the death penalty.

To Recent History

The rise of Judaism and later Christianity and Islam, psychics took a back seat to priests and other members of the clergy. As religion spread its roots over the world the backlash against them increased. The best example that everybody is familiar with is the Salem witch trials where dozens of women were rounded up and killed for their supposed devilish ways.

To Today

Psychics have come a long way throughout the history of time. Today they are an accepted part of our society and are even used in some cases to solve crimes. Their history, like a lot of things, was turbulent and had ups and downs.
