The '''[[Witch of Endor]]''' is a woman who, according to the Hebrew [[Bible]], was consulted by Saul to summon the spirit of the [[prophet]] Samuel. Saul wished to receive advice on defeating the Philistines in battle, after prior attempts to consult [[Yahweh|God]] by throwing lots and other [[divination]] means had failed. However, what is summoned, whether the actual ghost of Samuel or a spirit impersonating him, only delivers a prophecy of doom against Saul.
'''[[Scrying]]''', also known by various names such as "seeing" or "peeping," is the practice of looking into a suitable medium in the hope of detecting significant messages or visions. The objective might be personal guidance, prophecy, revelation, or inspiration, but down the ages, scrying in various forms also has been a prominent means of [[divination]] or fortune-telling. It remains popular in [[occult]] circles, discussed in many media, both modern and centuries old.
