Divination

The word "divination" is derived from the Latin divinus, "of a god.” A mid-14c. French diviner was a soothsayer — one with supernatural insight. These documentary films and series explore the world of the occult and its connection to divination. This connection has led some to classify these ancient mysteries of divination into disciplines such as voodoo or Wicca. Throughout history, on every continent, humans have used the practice of divination to foresee key moments. This craft includes astrology, observed tea leaves, dowsing, casting bones, and "cartomancy," better known as reading tarot cards. Watch as filmmakers explore all of this as well as psychic readings, fortune-telling, the I Ching, dream interpretation, numerology, and more in-depth divination practices.
