abstract = "This chapter explores fortune telling in an overlooked period (the long 18th century) in an understudied country (Ireland). It charts what they did, how they did it, and how they were consequently treated by the legal system. In doing so, it demonstrates that attacks on magic by {\textquoteleft}enlightened{\textquoteright} Irish Protestants were politically conditioned and relational to the perceived political threat deemed to pose to the status quo.
