Abstract:
Accumulations of burnt pebbles are often found in burials of the early nomads. Such pebbles are called kumalak- stones in literature suggesting the purpose of fortune-telling or playing. But neither their size nor weight, nor their form is similar to real kumalaks. The key to understanding the purpose of these pebbles is that they are burnt. The article suggests that they are accessories of the “steam bath of the Scythians” for the ritual of the purification after burial. Although in some cases these pebbles could be used for fortune-telling as well. In female burials of the 4th—3rd centuries

В статье рассмотрим святочные гадания, рассказы о которых записаны в трех русских заводских поселениях (Кажым, Нючпас, Нювчим) Республики Коми. Появление русских поселков на территории Коми края связано с организацией чугунолитейного производства в середине XVIII в. и переселением крестьян из северных и центральных губерний России. Корпус текстов о гадательных ритуалах записывался сотрудниками сектора фольклора ИЯЛИ ФИЦ Коми НЦ УрО РАН в период 2008–2022 гг.

Abstract:
Using various fortune-telling methods to get information about the future is an action that people have been doing for hundreds of years. The texts describing fortune-telling date back to the first written works of Turkish literature. The event of waiting for news from the future as a result of seyirme or ihtilac, which is a product of the tradition, has an anonymous feature in this respect. Inferences about watching are generally based on names such as Cafer-i Sadık, İskender and Danyal. The manuscript that will be discussed in this article is of the type of ikhlâc-nâme, which is a kind of fo

Abstract:
Sumarokov’s distichs — biletsy — were humorous additions to the New and Amusing Lottery Game (1764). They and the Tickets by I. S. Barkov that parodied them seem to be the only genre of Russian Classicism that did not have a Western European prototype. For his private leisure, rather than for the public use, Sumarokov had compiled Fortune-Telling Book of Love (1774) from the verses of his own tragedies. In the middle of the 19th century, the book encouraged n. A. Markevich to write a parody on the love poetry of the 18th century.

Abstract:
The article examines the linguistic features of 18th century fortune-telling books published in Moscow and St. Petersburg and representing “mass literature” at the time of the emergence of the book market and the rapid development of secular (civil) book printing in Russia. The vocabulary of dream books, as a rule, does not fall into the field of study of linguists and is not recorded in the academic dictionaries of the 18th century, although it reflects the main processes taking place in the Russian literary language of this time, and often more vividly and more clearly: for example, active w

Abstract:
Every year school districts must fill tens of thousands of teacher vacancies in mathematics and science. Reasons for the high rate of attrition are described in general terms, such as lack of administrative support and dissatisfaction. Analysis of direct quotes from qualitative research, however, suggests the presence of cognitive errors within the decision-making process of those teachers who quit. Cognitive errors include all or nothing thinking and fortune telling, among others. Results of this study are interpreted in comparison to the attrition literature. Suggestions for future research,

Abstract:
Georges de La Tour’s representations of monetary transactions are examined in his depictions of tax collection, gambling, and fortune telling scenes. But the financial and moral obligations involved in keeping books and settling debts are at variance with the vicarious risk and expenditure of money in games of fortune. These works encourage theological inquiry since questions of keeping or breaking faith or promise reference not just economic concerns but also moral and religious beliefs. La Tour’s portrayals of deception, manipulation and betrayal in his financial and gambling scenes also inv

This chapter explores the practice of fortune-telling among female friends in contemporary Italy. While expanding the scope of feminist knowledge into underinvestigated practices of divination, the chapter aims to contribute to the growing literature on patriarchy, women's (self-)care practices, and the commodification of intimacies in the Global North with attention to the role of global factors.
