The slumber party has been a locus for divination and fortune-telling for a very long time. Games of prognostication dating back centuries involve everything from eggs dropped in water to trance-induction to ouija boards and so much more! In this hands-on practical session, folklorist and author Cory Thomas Hutcheson will give a brief historical overview of some of these traditions including Concentration, Charlie Charlie, Red Door/Yellow Door and more. Then, he'll help to guide those who wish to play a few of them, as well! In the spirit of the slumber party and all things a little spooky, feel free to come dressed in your pajamas and see what spirits we can conjure up and what the future may hold for you.
