    About this ebook

    Divination has existed in all cultures throughout history. It is the attempt to predict or control one's future, or to gain access to hidden information by the assessment of various indicators, or use of particular implements. Some “Christian” diviners have pointed to biblical examples of divination in order to justify their practices. This book examines where the power comes from; explains how the various implements (including games) are used; and warns of the potential dangers.
