Depending on what Bible you reference, mediums, spiritualists, necromancers, and their ilk are all verboten. In Leviticus 19:31, in the King James Bible, for instance, it says, “Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.” The New American Standard Bible conveyed a similar sentiment: “Do not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God.” The World English Bible reiterated this with: “‘Don’t turn to those who are mediums, nor to the wizards. Don’t seek them out, to be defiled by them. I am Yahweh your God” (via Bible Hub).

Whatever version you embrace, it seems that psychics can become a dangerous conduit to other darker activities, and is thus discouraged, according to Grand Canyon University. Even Pope Francis spoke against visiting such practitioners in 2019 while speaking to an audience in St. Peter’s Square. Individuals should look to God, “who makes himself known not through occult practices but through revelation and with gratuitous love,” he said, according to the National Catholic Reporter. 

So if you’re thinking about visiting a psychic, the Bible would tell you: Just say no. Or you could follow the about 1 in 5 Americans, who admit they’ve seen a fortune-teller or medium at some point in their lives, according to a study by YouGov, quoted in Mystic Magazine, and go for it.
