Divination
Since time immemorial, man has felt the need to predict the
future.
But the way divination differs from fortune telling is that
divination takes a more spiritual approach to seeking and interpreting the
results, whereas fortune telling is a more everyday practice.
The history of divination is intertwined with human history
as every great human civilisation had its own divination methods.
Man's need to see into the future ensures that even today
this ancient science still lives on.
Divination works by predicting the future after analysing
certain "signs".
But before you can read the actual sign, you have to know
where to look. Different people had different views on what should be
considered a sign and how to interpret it, and this led to a series of methods
of divination. Some of these methods are listed below:
- astrology by celestial
bodies
