Discovering the Ancient Celtic Method of Prophecy: A Guide to Ribbon Readings

Ribbon readings are an intriguing way to gain insight into the future. Rooted in ancient Celtic tradition, I explore how to conduct a reading using psychometry, touch, and sight. Use ribbons to answer questions and gain insights. Unlock the power of ribbon readings.

Where did 'ribbon readings' come from?
Ribbon Readings are an ancient Celtic method of prophecy to tell the future. It was considered to have come from wandering gypsies who travelled from place to place, and they used them to do readings.

Ribbons have been used in numerous ceremonies throughout pagan times (and still are.) Handfasting during weddings is a ceremony in which ribbons bind and wrap the couple's hands together to symbolise their relationship—the "tying of the knot" in its literal sense.

Dancing around the maypole, the dancers would hang on to ribbons as they weaved in and out.

Reading the ribbons
Ideally, you will have many different coloured ribbons, and you can use numerous shades of different colours. Ribbons are used as psychometry, as you read them with the senses of touch and sight. 
​
A ribbon reading can be done in various ways, and there is no right or incorrect way to accomplish it. The best place to begin is to do what seems natural to you.

Ruffle the ribbons from side to side to release stagnant energy and notarise them so you or your client can work with them. 

Tips and Tricks: 
If doing for yourself:                                          

• Arrange your ribbons on the floor in a safe, relaxing environment where you feel at ease. If you want, you can light some candles or play some music.
• Close your eyes and choose.

For another:                                                    

• Ask them to hold the ribbons, close their eyes and choose.

See what you can pick up with your thoughts and touch once you've opened your intuitive senses. Remember, practice will help you polish your insights and learn how your senses work.

It is possible to pose a query and obtain insight using ribbons. Alternatively, you might do ribbon readings without a specific question and see what the ribbons come up with!

Have fun practising. Let me know how you got on.
