A fortune teller who uses asparagus to predict the future has revealed her tips for 2022, including some royal scandals as well as Boris Johnson’s continuation as prime minister.
Jemima Packington – better known as “Mystic Veg” – is the only “Asparamancer” in the world and claims she can see into the future by throwing spears in the air and interpreting their landing.

If you had to be convinced that the 65-year-old is the real deal, it’s worth noting that she saw Brexit, the death of Prince Philip, the deposition of Theresa May as Prime Minister, and the withdrawal of Harry and Meghan from the royal family correctly predicted.
Jemima believes Boris Johnson will continue to serve as Prime Minister in 2022 and the royal family will be even more sad, including “scandals and worse”. The mind is shaken …
She also predicted that Keir Starmer will not continue as Labor Party leader and that some showbiz legends will die unexpectedly.

In the world of sports, Jemima says Man City will not be crowned Premier League champions, but Man United will be a dark horse (my mother will be happy) and Croatia will win the World Cup.
The West Indies will win the World Cricket Championship in Australia while the English rugby team can look forward to “great success” at their World Cup in New Zealand.
Jemima, from Bath, Somerset, began making predictions at the age of eight, saying she inherited the gift from her older aunt, who used to read tea leaves.

She said, “My technique hasn’t changed and I’m still throwing the asparagus spears and interpreting the patterns in them.
“Seeing the patterns for me is instantaneous, maybe that’s because I’ve been practicing for years.
“I’m usually 75-90 percent accurate in my predictions. I go through my predictions every year and think, ‘Yes, that happened, yes, that happened’.
“Occasionally I run into something that I haven’t read quite right, but I’m never far from it.
“I predicted Boris Johnson would become Prime Minister about four years before him and everyone laughed off their feet.”

Jemima doesn’t use old asparagus, she uses fresh Worcestershire asparagus grown in the Vale of Evesham – the UK’s main supplier of the vegetables.
Earlier this year, after throwing the greens, she predicted the Christmas celebrations would be a humble affair, which was the case in many households when Omicron prevailed.
Last year she predicted more royal births and bereavement and was right when the Sussexes announced Meghan was pregnant with their second child and Prince Philip was dying.
In 2019, she correctly predicted cricket success for England, Big Brother returned to our screens and the romantic US musical A Star is Born won an Oscar.

It also foresaw the shutdowns of UK household businesses like Thomas Cook and Mothercare. I just wish she could have let me know before she got stuck in Florida.
