So she put together a little altar for me that I can bring with pictures of my kids, and I have these little special stones and healing stones and protections, and she has me wear this necklace, and take these drops she makes, and I say all these mantras, and I stopped questioning her a long time ago. I did. I just shut up and listen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brady acknowledged that he thought it was \u201ckinda crazy,\u201d at first but after a game against the Seattle Seahawks, he started to see things a little differently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then about four years ago, we were playing the Seahawks and she said to me, \u2018You better listen to me. This is your year. But this is all the things you\u2019re going to have to do to win.\u2019 And I did all those things and\u2026it worked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That year, the Patriots beat the Seahawks in Super Bowl 49.<\/p>\n<p>She also predicted the Patriots\u2019 losses as well. In January 2015, she told him, \u201cI just want to let you know this is not going to be your year.\u201d Her prediction was accurate as the Patriots didn\u2019t advance to the Super Bowl that year. They lost to the Denver Broncos.<\/p>\n<p>Following that loss, she predicted success for him in 2016 and 2018 as well and those both ended up being Super Bowl championship years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe said, \u2018You\u2019re lucky you married a witch. I\u2019m just a good witch.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to heavy.com, Brady grew up in a Catholic home but has shied away from describing himself as belonging to one particular faith. During a 2015 interview with The New York Times\u2019 Mark Leibovich, Brady explained he was open to different systems.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Leibovich noted there was a menorah in the house, but Brady nor his wife consider themselves Jewish.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>We want to know what you think!<\/h3>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/survey.fm\/0C4C9A9E6608F98C\">Take Our
