Divination refers to the methods or practices of attempting to foretell the future or discovering the unknown through omens, oracles, or with supernatural powers; prophesying or predicting the future; and consists of various methods of "fortune telling".

It is the practice of foreseeing future events or obtaining secret knowledge through communication with divine sources and through omens, oracles, signs, and portents.

It is based on the belief in revelations offered to humans by the gods and in extrarational forms of knowledge; it attempts to make known those things that neither reason nor science can discover.

Divination is also described as the art of obtaining special information from spiritual beings. The system takes for granted that the primitive belief that spiritual beings exist, are approachable by humans, have means of knowledge which people do not possess; and are willing, depending on certain conditions, to let diviners communicate the special knowledge which they are believed to possess.
