There is no guidebook to living, but with worries and even fears about what the future has in store, some people turn to fortune telling and a host of other divination methods to interpret or intervene in their own fates. To make matters worse, the COVID-19 pandemic has imposed even greater uncertainty and upheaval on the already perplexing lives that people navigate, destabilising people’s finances, families and futures. This feature writing package explores the allure of the spirits and the stars and the value in the comfort they offer.
