fortune tellers
Readers of palms
Fortune tellers are people who claim to predict the future, typically for payment.
They may use cards, crystal balls, palm reading, or other methods to divine what lies ahead.
The term carries skeptical connotations—fortune teller suggests carnival booths and storefront psychics rather than respected seers.
The fortune teller said I'd meet someone tall and mysterious.
