**Seers** are a type of witch specializing in the practice of divination. They seem to be gifted with divination, as they do not usually access it via spells like other witches therefore this makes them extremely rare. This being said, not all witches gifted with divination are called seers as the term "seer" is more of a titular name for the occupation of divining, but all seers are gifted with divination.

Trained seers seem to have control over their visions and can call them at will, however there have been other witches who have had visions without specialized control as their abilities were not developed. Ruben Morris, Alexis, Ariane, Ivy, and Jenna Salvatore are currently the only Notable seers so far; of which three of five are now deceased.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Divination:** This is the ability to analyze patterns and use this to uncover history (past) or to foretell the future usually through visions. Seers have been shown to exhibit divination in all its variations; clairvoyance, psychometry, intuition, and premonitions. With the Notable seers especially Alexis and Ariane, prophecies usually manifested as cryptic riddles, though it was noted that visions become more and more precise as the event in question drew closer. In other seers or witches that have been shown gifted in divination, the visions could appear direct or indirect depending on the context. It is usually initiated by making some form of a connection with their subject, this could be physical contact or being in the same environment or having history with the subject. Alexis did this via having them feed on her blood, Ariane did this by viewing the entire of her subject's history, using water as a conductor, Bonnie usually did this by touch or via dreams.
* **Precognition:** The ability to perceive information about future places or events before they happen. As knowledge of the future invariably causes that future to change, visions of the future are subject to frequent shifting. Some visions may be set in stone whether or not you see them, others may happen only if that person select a certain course of action. Precognition is usually uncontrollable and unpredictable.
* **Retrocognition:** The ability to discern events of the past. Opposite to Precognition. This power is mainly used to figure out what happened and usually entering a trance while seeing and hearing a noted past event, whether it be concerning themselves or of an unfamiliar lineage in a past occurrence. Occasionally spontaneous. While this is happening the seer is unable to notice present surroundings.
* **Clairvoyance:** The ability to gain direct visual information of the present. This ability is used to discern locations and gain information about objects, beings, or places.
* **Astral Premonition:** The ability to receive visions of the past, present or future by astral projection. This allows the user to experience the vision first hand. While you are out of your body, your body is essentially dead/in a coma and thus very vulnerable during astral
* **Psychic Reflection:** The ability to reflect emotions and/or memories back onto a person or onto another being.

## Prophecies

### Céleste's Prophecy

"*Hoc est infantima malom. Nos omnia perditu el eam.*"
— **Céleste Dubois** announces the witches destruction in *Tangled Up In Blue*
Céleste Dubois, possessing the witch Sabine Laurent, originally foretold of this in *Tangled Up In Blue*, in relation to the conception and birth of Hope and Henrik Mikaelson; "these children will destroy us all." While some witches believed Sabine's visions to be dramatic but real, others believed her to be a charlatan. However, Ivy reveals the truth behind this forecast, which dates back to 1718 when an unnamed, powerful seer forecasted the destruction of the supernatural communities of New Orleans, in *God's Gonna Trouble the Water*. The destruction would follow seven signs: "and ye shall know the signs of blood from water, vipers from the rivers, larvae from the soil, ice rain from the skies, fire across the water, monsoons from the sea, and death of all firstborns."

### Alexis' Prophecy

"*Drink deep but beware*
*What you broke is past repair*
*All your oaths you betray, your sacred vows you sever*
*And now you see that nothing lasts for always and forever*
*Three yet remain, two already crossed*
*Yet in one year's time, you'll all be lost*
*As your family is undone*
*You will seed the beast that is to come"*
— **Alexis** announces the prophecy in *For the Next Millennium*
Otherwise known as **the Prophecy**, Alexis', a cipher witch for Lucien Castle, forecast referred to a series of visions she received that predicted the imminent destruction of Niklaus, Elijah, and Rebekah Mikaelson; and their sirelines by "the Beast."
