As I am, in some respects, "new" to the bible, I understand that divination is a "no no" in Christianity, and it may well be the same in Judaism (I am not sure of their stance on this subject).
Though I never tried to "tell the future" (I used most of my time to try to use Astrology for working out an individual's strong and weak points) having studied Astrology, palmistry (from a diagnosis point of view as to propensity to certail ilnesses)& other forms of "divination" pre deciding that it is high time for me to read the Bible, I promptly ditched all my book, Tarot Cards, and my pendulum (used for dowsing).
Yet, one of my sons came back from a trip to Rome, where he visited the Vatican (something I have never done), and he told me that an entire wall is covered with the Astrology symbols.... so, I guess I am lost!
Any help (from Christians), please?

The Bible forbids any kind of fortune telling, even though our society often treats it as a parlor game. Even though you can buy things like Ouiji Boards, the 8 Ball, and Tarot Cards in toy stores, if you use them to tell fortunes, you will be acting against what the Bible says.

- Identification
- Depending on which translation of the Bible that you read, the words "fortune telling" may not even appear. Most English versions use the term "divination" instead.

Deuteronomy 18:10, 14 further demands that no member of the Israeli community should practice divination, even though it was a common practice of the neighboring cultures
