A fortune teller who predicted the Lionesses would win the World Cup with asparagus has revealed that this weekend’s final will be decided – on penalties.
Jemima Packington, 66, from Bath, is the world’s only asparamancer and claims she can see into the future by throwing spears into the air and interpreting how they land.
She has previously correctly predicted Brexit, the death of the Queen and the departure of Harry and Meghan from the royal family.
Late last year, she revealed her top tips for 2023, including the England women’s national team that won the World Cup in Australia.

And Jemima has now revealed that the country will face a blood-curdling final as the game will go to penalties – but the Lionesses will prevail.
She says the asparagus didn’t reveal the score to her, but guarantees we’re in for an “extremely thrilling finale.”
Jemima said: ‘The Asparagus have told me we are in for an exciting final and the game will go to penalties.
“But the Lionesses will come out victorious. I’m sure about that. The asparagus failed to reveal the score in normal time.
“But I know it will be an extremely exciting final. We’re in for a treat and I’m confident the girls will take home the trophy.
“I will be glued to the TV myself. I watched every game and they made the nation proud.
They inspire the next generation. It is great to see that so many children are also involved. It has really put women’s sport firmly on the map.’

In December 2022, Jemima also correctly predicted that industrial strikes will cause unrest across the country and that Covid will continue to be under another pressure.
She says she reads the shapes of the asparagus as they land and boasts an impressive 70-95 percent accuracy.
Jemima started making predictions when she was eight years old and said she inherited the gift from her elderly aunt who used to read tea leaves.
She said, “My technique hasn’t changed and I still throw the asparagus and interpret the patterns in it.
‘Seeing the patterns is instantaneous for me, possibly because I have practiced for years.
“I’m usually about 75-90 percent accurate with my predictions.
“Occasionally I get a little off where I didn’t read it quite right, but I’m never far off.”
Jemima uses fresh Worcestershire asparagus grown in the Vale of Evesham, the UK’s main supplier of the vegetable.
