King or commoner, ancient or modern-man has felt the requirement for trustworthy prophecies per the future. As clever creatures, we humans study the past, are aware of the present, and are particularly interested in the future. A Chinese proverb aptly announces : He who could foretell affairs three days in advance would be rich for thousands of years.

Others throughout history have felt helpless because they thought that supernatural forces controlled their destiny. The ancient Greeks, says Boteach, were obsessive about the idea that all hope was futile since man could not overcome destined destiny. They felt that the destiny of each person was decided by capricious goddesses. These goddesses, they believed, decided when an individual would die as well as how much distress and pain he would have to endure throughout his life.

Throughout the ages, millions have tried to peer into the future by consulting what they perceived as being divine. Take the ancient Greeks as an example. They'd scores of sacred oracles, such as those of Delphi, Delos, and Dodona, where they would go to inquire of their gods with regard to political or army developments as well as such private affairs as travel, marriage, and children. Not just kings and army leaders but complete tribes and city-states sought guidance from the spirit realm through these oracles.
