Soothsayers are individuals, often associated with mystical or spiritual traditions, who claim to possess the ability to predict the future or gain insight into hidden truths. Historically, soothsayers have been thought to use various methods like astrology, reading omens, divination, or communicating with spirits to provide guidance.
In different cultures, soothsayers were revered and sometimes feared for their supposed powers. In ancient times, they could be found in many societies, such as the Greek Oracle of Delphi, or in the practices of tarot reading, palmistry, and other fortune-telling traditions.
