There is no hard fast rule as to how people can foretell the future and many scientist would argue that there is no scientific proof to support such claims. Centuries have elapsed but we still have many forms of divination being practised, some people still practise water/treasure Divining using tree branches. Although Mystical-www would be the first to suggest that not all diviners of the future are genuine. Always remember the saying, "all that glitters is not gold".

Some of the most popular known forms of divination are Tarot Cards, Runes, I Ching, Mah Jonng, Crystal Ball Gazing, Scrying, Astrology although there are many forms of dinivination around the world.
