Germanic Horse Divination

This method of predicting the future was, according to Tacitus, the most trusted method of predicting the future by the Germans. The principle behind it is that, while humans are the servants of the gods, horses are their confidants. Tacitus, P. C., (98). Germania. Ch.10
Second to this method was a method of predicting the future from the flights and sounds of birds.
