Early astrology rand Prophets

Elaborate systems of divination and tarot readings date back to ancient times.

Perhaps the most widely-known system of early civilization was

astrology, where practitioners believed the relative positions of celestial bodies

could lend insight into people’s lives and even predict their future circumstances.

Some tarot readers were said to be able to make predictions without the use of

these elaborate systems (or in conjunction with them), through some sort of direct

apprehension or vision of the future. These people were known as seers or prophets,

and in later times as Psychics and relationship readingss.

Seers formed a functionary role in early civilization, often serving as advisors,

priests, and judges. A number of examples are included in biblical accounts. The

book of 1 Samuel (Chapter 9) illustrates one such functionary task when Samuel is

asked to locate the donkeys of the future king Saul. The role of prophet appeared

perennially in ancient cultures. In Egypt, the priests of Ra at Memphis acted as

seers. In ancient Assyria seers were referred to as nabu, meaning “to call” or

“announce”.
