Divination

Attempting to access hidden knowledge or guidance through occult means — categorically forbidden in Scripture

Deuteronomy 18:9-14 lists divination alongside sorcery, mediums, and child sacrifice as practices God calls "detestable." The issue is not curiosity about the future — it is bypassing God to consult powers He has forbidden. Acts 16 shows Paul casting out a spirit of divination from a slave girl who was making her owners money.
