| has gloss | (noun) the art or gift of prophecy (or the pretense of prophecy) by supernatural means foretelling, divination, soothsaying, fortune telling |
| has gloss | eng: Divination (Greek μαντεια, from μαντις "seer") is an attempt to get information through omens or supernatural things. The verb form is to divine, but this should not be confused with the adjective divine. Divining the outcome of things has been done by many different methods, such as the ones listed below. |
| has gloss | eng: Divination (from Latin divinare "to foresee, to be inspired by a god" , related to divinus, divine) is the attempt to gain insight into a question or situation by way of a standardized process or ritual. Diviners ascertain their interpretations of how a querent should proceed by reading signs, events, or omens, or through alleged contact with a supernatural agency. Divination can be seen as a systematic method with which to organize what appear to be disjointed, random facets of existence such that they provide insight into a problem at hand. If a distinction is to be made between divination and fortune-telling, divination has a formal or ritual and often social character, usually in a religious context; while fortune-telling is a more everyday practice for personal purposes. Particular divination methods vary by culture and religion. |

| has gloss | ara: كهانة هي الإخبار عن الماضي وتخلف عن التنجيم الذي يخبر بالمسقبل ومن يقوم بالكهانة يسمى كاهن ، كما تختلف الكهانة عن السحر (الذي يكون بالتعامل مع الشياطين) وذلك بتعاملها مع الجن فينقل الجن للكاهن أموراً تحدث في أماكن قد يكون فيها الإنسان لوحده ، ولكن الجن الذي له القدرة على اختراق الجدار يرى ما يفعله المرء ثم ينقل أخباره للكاهن ، الذي يخبره بما جرى له في الماضي فيبدو وكأنه أمر خارق للعادة. ويقال: كَهَن لهم إِذا قال لهم قولَ الكَهَنة. |

| has gloss | dan: Divination (lat divinatio, "forudsigelse" fra divinare, "guddommelig inspiration") også kaldt varselstydning, er et religiøst ritual, hvis formål er at opnå information ved at tyde varsler eller kommunikation fra en overnaturlig agent. Divination er et meget udbredt fænomen, som findes indenfor alle former for religion og i alle verdensdele. Religionsvidenskabeligt set bruges divination specielt i skriftløse religioner til at bringe en given negativ tilstand tilbage til dens naturlige, neutrale udgangspunkt. Maronerne i Surinam bruger eksempelvis divination som forklaringsmodel, når de står overfor kulturelt set uforklarlige fænomener som uheld, sygdom og død. Her lader de en metafysisk magt/kraft tale gennem divination og bestemmer derigennem diagnose, årsag og løsning på problemet. Tegntagningen foregår konkret ved eksempelvis tydning af kyllingindvolde, åbning af ølflaske, hellige bundter som bæres på hovedet og ombæring af nylig afdød. |

| has gloss | fra: La divination serait lart (occulte) de découvrir ce qui est inconnu. Littré, positiviste, est sévère : "Art chimérique de savoir et de prédire lavenir par des sortilèges ou de fausses sciences, telles que lastrologie, la chiromancie, linterprétation des songes, etc." Mais, pour un partisan, la divination peut dévoiler non seulement lavenir, mais encore le caché, cest-à-dire le passé, les trésors, les maladies invisibles, les secrets, les mystères..., et cela par des moyens non rationnels, par exemple analogiques, kabbalistiques, psychédéliques, magiques, métapsychiques. Il y a, selon ceux qui y adhérent, connaissance paranormale de deux objets voilés, inconnus : connaissance paranormale de lavenir (précognition), connaissance paranormale du caché (cryptesthésie) ; et une multitude de procédés, spontanés ou codifiés, traditionnels ou modernes, populaires ou savants, licites ou interdits : astrologie, cartomancie, sorts, songes, boule de cristal, etc. ; chacun de ces procédés est un art divinatoire à lintérieur de la science divinatoire, "science" au sens de "connaissance" (ou pseudo-science). |
