| description | Magic, fortune telling and similar beliefs become ditinctive powers which influence social institutions such as economy and government and shaping socio- cultural structure. In today’s society, though these beliefs considered to be marginal, they gradually increase their effect and turns into a phenomenon in socio cultural life. Therefore, it is possible to see people who introduce themselves as fortune tellers and comment on past and future in fortune tellers’ houses in many parts of urban localities. The aim of this study is to understand how social perception to fortune telling comes into being and to identify the underlying factors which causes this phenomena. In this context, over 82 people were interviewed using qualitative data collection techniques. |
