In nearly every civilization, for more than 2,000 years, you can find some form of divination having been used by man. Rulers wanted to know if their reign will be a long and prosperous one and if they will win wars against any adversaries. Common folks wanted to know if a perspective marriage will be fruitful or if there will be a good or bad harvest this season. No matter how civilization has changed over the last few millennia, Man has strived to learn how to shape his path in life to make sure it’s the most prosperous and happy one he can have.
