Knowing the future is a need that humans have felt ever since they appeared on Earth. This need has existed for centuries and is attested to by literature, arts, philosophy, and religion.
To face life with the awareness of what will be is a desire so strong it has driven humans in ancient times to venture into the sphere of the sacred and the mysterious.
Prophecies, oracles, and magical rites are tools that have been used by different traditions in the attempt to dissipate the veil of mist that envelops the future, considered to be the crossroads between ancient Wisdom and current Knowled.
