People have always wanted to know their future and have used many different ways to predict it.. Originally they would use the items they had to hand, to help them decide their fate. Now, people have settled on the more well-known methods, runes, tarot cards etc, but there are many different methods that have fallen out of favour and have been almost forgotten. Elaine will demonstrate some of the more unusual types of divination, ancient and modern, with a variety of different items..

I was an historic trader, a semi professional actor and have been giving talks for over 20 years to a variety of venues including Historic groups and Battlefield Societies. I present my talks in costume as a Medieval Cunning woman, with a range of found and made objects to help people see life through the eyes of ordinary Medieval men and women.
My talks. They are informative, amusing, theatrical and presented in the First Person in Medieval costume. They are “stand alone” talks and so can be presented anywhere. I only need a table to display various small artefacts. They last about one hour, plus extra time for questions.
