Divination is the art of extracting hidden meaning from the present by using supernatural tools, or oracles, as guidance for the future. Some ancient divinatory methods may seem primitive now, such as shamans in antiquity observing animal entrails, while some methods have remained popular throughout the ages. Diviners today still use methods that draw on the environment, including reading runes or cards, floromancy (reading flowers), and even conchomancy (reading seashells). Our questions might differ from our ancestors’, but we still harbor the same basic needs and keen desire to know, understand, and improve the future.
