As far back as 1000 BC. the Chinese had "I CHING," an oracle which involved the tossing and reading of long short yarrow sticks. Another ancient Chinese divinatory practice which is still used is "feng-shui," or geomancy, which involves the erecting of buildings, tombs, and other physical structures by determining the currents of invisible energy coursing through the earth. Today many people still use this method to arrange the furniture in their homes.
The ancient Romans favored augury and haruspicy. The Egyptians, Druids, and Hebrews relied on scrying. The Druids also read death throes and entrails of sacrificed animals.There are many forms of fortune telling still used in modern times. Religious practices such as paganism, witchcraft, voodoo and Santeria especially use divination. Many people believe we have free choice over our futures and knowing what is to come gives us a chance to make changes for the better.
Lets take a closer look at some of the methods still used today.
