I am the LORD your God. Pagan diviners are mentioned in 1 Sa. Divination may take many forms. These divisions cannot be pressed, since the objects may release the clairvoyant faculty, as with crystal-gazing. They may be associated with some form of divination, though divination by itself is the attempt to use supernatural means to discover events without influencing them.
Black magic is an attempt to conjure evil results through assistance with evil spirits or demons.
White magic is the use of spells to normally undo evil curses in the attempt to convince the spirit or demon to work in their advantage. These are but a few of the different types of divination and their uses. However, the Bible often refers to them as witches, sorcery, mediums, diviners, and wizards in consulting the dead or familiar spirits to cover all the bases. The first laws to Moses state what is to be done with those who seek out or practice such abominations to the Lord, which by the way includes a whole lot of moral issues that will eventually be addressed in other articles. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and because of these detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you.
