About this listen

Journey back to ancient civilizations where divination wasn't just mysticism – it was serious business. In this episode of The Fortune Teller Tradition, host Clara Moss explores how oracles, augurs, and diviners shaped the economic and political landscapes of Greece, Rome, Mesopotamia, China, and Egypt. From the wealthy Oracle at Delphi that influenced major political decisions to Babylonian priests who maintained vast libraries of omen interpretations, discover how ancient societies built sophisticated systems around fortune-telling practices. Learn about the professional dream interpreters of Egypt, the augurs who held political power in Rome, and the oracle bone divination that guided Chinese dynasties. This episode examines the fascinating intersection of spirituality, economics, and governance in the ancient world, revealing how our ancestors sought to navigate uncertainty through institutionalized divination practices. Perfect for history enthusiasts, archaeology lovers, and anyone curious about the cultural significance of fortune-telling traditions. Explore the archaeological evidence and historical records that illuminate these ancient practices, understanding them as windows into the beliefs, fears, and decision-making processes of past civilizations rather than supernatural phenomena.
