Divination is an important ritual. In South Arabia this was done by first presenting an offering to the sacrificial altar and then asking the oracle. The oracle would deliver a reply inspired by [[ʿAṯtar]], probably in a trance state, and finally one would offer a thanksgiving sacrifice after they received the response. This ritual included the libation of the sacrifice's blood, turning towards corresponding pillars three times, and bowing down while turning three times as well. The oracle wasn't consulted at random but at certain days of certain months which are carefully specified on which the ceremonies took place. Sometimes no reply was given so the sacrifice will have to be repeated or one would have to increase the number or value of offerings.
Divination is an important ritual. Divination is the attempt to gain insight into a question or situation by way of an occultic, standardized process or ritual.
