Divination

Divination was a branch of magic that involved attempting to foresee the future, or gather insights into past, present and future events, through various rituals and tools.
==Nature of Divination==
===Mortal Divination===
Mortals who were connected to magic could manifest the rare and seemingly natural gift for prophecy, and could see the future with their Inner Eye, but were also categorized in three groups based on type of foresight they possess. 
The most common and weakest were the one's known as Seers who could predict prophecies based on an uncomfortable feeling within their souls. However they are unable to speak of what they see or feel lest they become cursed. Instead they utilize the many divination methods to gain insight into these feelings which they could potentially use to receive a vision that could be shared with others. 
A Prophet was unique amongst all three classifications as they are not actively born with any precognitive gifts and are actually blessed speakers of divine entities given the power of foresight to speak on behalf of those entities. They serve as an intermediary with humanity by delivering messages or teachings from supernatural sources to others from the visions they gain from the divine.
An Oracle was the most powerful of all mortal Diviners and are actually mortals being possessed by an Oracular Spirit, a type of supernatural being that acts as the spokesperson for a specific deity. What makes an Oracle's prophetic powers so potent is that they are natural seers enhanced by divine powers, allowing them to receive visions at every second while also speaking prophecies in the form of vague riddles which the listener must decipher. 
===Centaur Divination===
Centaurs had a way of practicing divination distinct from that of humans, apparently mainly based around observing the movement of planets, moons, and stars, which they had been doing for centuries. However it could take up to a decade for centaurs to understand what these celestial portents meant, and even then, the results were rarely precise. They may have attempted to narrow their prediction of when an event would take place by burning certain herbs, such as sage and mallowsweet, and looking for various shapes and symbols in the fumes.
