By divination we mean the attempt to elicit from some higher power or supernatural being the answers to questions beyond the range of ordinary human understanding. Questions about future events, about past disasters whose causes cannot be explained, about things hidden from sight or removed in space, about right conduct in a critical situation, about the time and mode of religious worship and the choice of persons for a particular task - all these have from ancient times and in all parts of the world been the subject of divinatory enquiry.
