National Institute of Divinatory Arts (INAD)

L’INAD a récemment reçu un témoignage anonyme relatant une expérience particulièrement troublante auprès d’un praticien proposant des consultations de voyance. Selon son auteure, tout aurait commencé par un appel à une émission de radio au cours de laquelle un voyant répond aux questions d’auditeurs confrontés à des difficultés personnelles. Après un bref échange à l’antenne, le voyant lui aurait conseillé de venir à son cabinet pour une consultation approfondie. Le rendez-vous aurait été fixé par une secrétaire, pour un tarif initial de 50 euros. Sur…

V oyance et Intelligence artificielle: Un marché de dupes! L’intelligence artificielle arrive dans la voyance et la médiumnité. Le métier est peu encadré, et les arnaques y vont de quelques centaines d’euros à des dizaines, parfois des centaines de milliers d’euros. L’IA pourrait aggraver les choses, jusqu’à menacer la place du praticien. Certaines plateformes y voient surtout une façon de payer moins de personnel, de gagner plus et de répondre plus vite, sans trop regarder la qualité de ce qu’elles vendent. L’Institut national des arts divinatoires…

Une femme fragilisée par une séparation a versé près de 80 000 euros en quelques mois. Dès la première consultation, selon les éléments réunis par l’INAD, un « travail occulte » lui aurait été proposé pour obtenir le retour de son mari, avec un résultat présenté comme garanti. Par la suite, une prétendue menace de magie noire aurait été étendue à la cliente, à ses parents et à ses enfants. L’Institut National des Arts Divinatoires, mandaté par la consommatrice, dispose des justificatifs bancaires, des échanges et des pièces permettant de reconstituer le…

À l’approche des élections, certains voyants et voyantes autoproclamés multiplient les annonces sur les réseaux sociaux. Sous couvert de tarot,, ils présentent leurs propres souhaits politiques comme des prédictions électorales. Ce qui nous frappe, c’est la place que prend leur propre personnage. La caméra tourne, les cartes sont disposées, le ton se fait grave: un candidat va gagner, un autre va tomber, une crise se prépare. Le public est invité à croire que le résultat se trouve déjà sur la table. Or, bien souvent, ces annonces ressemblent aux…

QUAND LA PEUR DEVIENT UN BUSINESS Une main de Fatma accrochée au rétroviseur. Un œil bleu suspendu au-dessus d’un berceau. Un fil rouge noué au poignet d’un enfant. Le mauvais œil est partout. Superstition pour les uns, réalité pour les autres, chacun y porte son propre regard. L’INAD n’a pas vocation à trancher ce débat, ni à balayer des croyances que l’humanité porte depuis des siècles. Mais il refuse de se taire face à ce qui prospère sur ce terrain: un véritable commerce de la peur. Celui qui sait se tait Toutes les traditions racontent la même…

L’Institut National des Arts Divinatoires (INAD) œuvre en faveur d’une pratique plus responsable et plus éthique des arts divinatoires. Il informe sur les dérives du secteur, tout en mettant aussi en lumière les praticiens sérieux, sincères et respectueux de leurs consultants. Car derrière les excès, il existe aussi des professionnels discrets, parfois peu visibles, qui exercent leur métier avec humilité, conscience et mesure. C’est cette autre réalité de la voyance que l’INAD souhaite également faire entendre. Par Marie Lenz Doceul Je suis voyante…

Haro sur les arnaques qui font commerce du deuil Il existe des souffrances devant lesquelles toute personne digne de ce nom devrait savoir s’arrêter. La mort d’un enfant, d’un conjoint, d’un parent, d’un frère, d’une sœur en fait partie. Quand on vient de perdre un proche, on ne cherche pas un spectacle. On cherche un signe, une présence, une parole qui apaise, ne serait-ce qu’un instant, le vide laissé par l’absence. Précisons-le d’emblée: un spirite n’est pas par nature un profiteur. Un vrai spirite est un être attentif, sensible et humain, à l’écoute…

Sorcellerie, désenvoûtement, chantage: la voyance version TikTok, Instagram et YouTube Magie noire, sorcellerie, soins énergétiques, passeurs d’âme, contact avec les défunts, photos intimes: bienvenue dans les arrière-boutiques de la voyance en ligne. Il fut un temps où, pour jouer les sorciers, il fallait une boule de cristal, quelques bougies et un vrai talent de comédien. Aujourd’hui, un smartphone, un pseudonyme ésotérique et trois phrases sur les « énergies » peuvent suffire. Bienvenue dans les supermarchés de la peur: magie noire sortie de nulle…

For more than two years, the Professional Union of Practitioners of Divinatory Arts (SPPAD) has acted with determination to defend the interests of serious practitioners. Far from speeches, our action is concrete, with a constant desire to advance our profession and represent it to institutions. During this period, SPPAD intervened with certain platforms in order to defend professionals facing unfair situations. He supported practitioners in their dealings with the URSSAF, helped resolve disputes between professionals and provided support whenever the…

Social networks have profoundly changed the world of clairvoyance. In just a few years, in-office consultations have given way more and more to live videos, daily publications and widely distributed predictions. This development is not a problem in itself. What is more so are the abuses it encourages. It would be unfair to put all practitioners in the same basket. Many carry out their activity with seriousness, discretion and respect for their consultants. But part of the community today seems more concerned about its visibility than the quality of its…

I The National Institute of Divinatory Arts (INAD) was recently notified of a complaint from Mr. Nathaniel, a particularly documented complaint calling into question the Ideal Voyance platform, operated by the company SATYNA SA. The documents transmitted: contract, exchanges with support and other elements, deeply question the real place occupied by this platform in the organization of the work of self-employed people. The contract is, however, unambiguous: the practitioner is presented as an independent professional and “the contract excludes any…

The trade of distress Norma*, 73, provided the INAD with supporting documents showing more than 4,800 euros in payments for the benefit of “Alicia”, the pseudonym of a woman presenting herself on social networks as a clairvoyant and medium. Behind the promises of “hidden work”, the INAD describes less support than a mechanism of pressure, successive payments and final silence. There are words that serve to enlighten. And others to smoke. In this case, it is a question of “works”, of “blockages” to be removed, of interventions supposed to restore a lost…

When a child goes missing or someone goes missing, a family faces an unbearable wait. Every call brings hope. Each rumor can rekindle an already deep wound. In these moments of extreme vulnerability, loved ones above all need respect, support and kindness. In the age of social networks, everyone can share their opinion, their convictions or their analysis. These speeches sometimes include those of practitioners of the divinatory arts, content creators or people convinced of being able to provide answers. But when a matter is in progress, caution should…

Online clairvoyance: when “entertainment” becomes deception You have to call things by their name. For several years, certain online clairvoyance platforms have taken refuge behind a convenient qualification: clairvoyance is simply “entertainment”. A reassuring formula, legally useful, but profoundly far from reality. Because behind the screens, behind the up-to-the-minute consultations and the promises of insight into the future, there are no players. There are people. These people do not come looking for leisure. They do not “consume” clairvoyance…

They wear neither white coats nor lawyer robes. However, every day, thousands of French people confide in them their doubts, their fragilities, their life decisions. Practitioners of the divinatory arts occupy a unique place in the social landscape: that of interlocutors of the intimate. But one question remains, simple and essential: to whom do we really entrust our secrets? Today, these professionals are administratively classified under the APE code 9609Z, entitled: Other personal services not elsewhere classified. A catch-all category where…

Under the guise of spirituality, these merchants of illusions exploit the grief, vulnerability and dismay of bereaved people to extract their savings. Their hunting ground: the loss of a loved one. Their tool: cleverly misleading advertising. Their goal: money. Some go so far as to offer “emergency” consultations, priced as vital interventions, suggesting that it would be enough to dial a number to “get in touch” with a deceased person. The reality is much harsher: their only “gift” consists of extracting as much information as possible from their…

Clairvoyance is an unregulated consulting practice which is often carried out with people in questioning or fragile situations. As such, it implies reinforced ethical responsibility. A responsible clairvoyant/medium limits himself to announcing what he perceives, what he feels or what he “sees”, without ever directing, influencing or conditioning the person who consults him. He may, where applicable, be able to reveal the subject of the solicitation without asking prior questions. In all circumstances, he strictly respects the free will of the…

Social media is overflowing with fake psychics and impromptu card pullers. They promise to fix love, luck or the “evil eye” in just a few minutes. In reality, they exploit human vulnerability and turn suffering into a source of income. Their method is simple: rapid gestures, cards shuffled with a bang, serious tone, vague sentences that would work on anyone. They don’t read the future: they observe your reactions. This is not spirituality, but a setup intended to extract money. True cartomancy requires presence, time, skill and discretion. Nothing to do…

Additional investigation from October 30, 2025 (France 2) The program Complément d’investigation, broadcast on October 30, 2025 on France 2, ventured into the gray areas of a universe where mysticism and marketing mix. With rigor and a touch of irony, she explores this fascinating world where the quest for meaning, emotional distress and the thirst for illusion coexist throughout the cards. Between sincere belief and commerce of the soul. Clairvoyance, originally, is an art of interpretation and intuition. But the show reminds us that in the digital…

The Business of Fear However, it all started in a beautiful light. On TikTok, Marie-Noëlle, known under the pseudonym @leslumieresdava1, appeared as a benevolent figure: clairvoyant, healer and “white witch”. His reassuring messages, his direct messages filled with gentleness and his promises of inner transformation attracted many people in search of meaning. “We thought we were joining a sincere human and spiritual adventure,” say Romeo and Juliet. Our intention was to help, not to harm. But little by little, certain aspects deeply disturbed us. »…

legend, manipulation and divinatory heritage In the history of the great figures of cartomancy, Mademoiselle Lenormand (1772-1843) occupies a special place. Adored by some as the prophetess of the powerful, denounced by others as a skillful manipulator, she remains the most famous icon of clairvoyance under the Empire and beyond. His name, still associated with the Petit Lenormand card game, continues to influence the world of modern tarot reading. Born in Alençon, orphaned at a very young age, Marie-Anne Adélaïde Lenormand moved to Paris at the age of…
