66: Not to consult the yidoni

Laws of Idolatry and Paganism
Not to consult the yidoni (Deut. 18:11)

“What do the deeds associated with a yid’oni involve? A person places a bone from a bird whose name is yidua in his mouth, offers incense, and performs other deeds until he falls into a trance, losing self-control like an epileptic, and relates events which will occur in the future.” – Avodat Kochavim 6:1
