Etruscan oracles

Etruscan oracles were religious figures or methods used by the ancient Etruscans to interpret divine will and guide decision-making. They often involved rituals, reading omens, or interpreting signs from nature, such as animal entrails, fire, or celestial events. These practitioners played a key role in political and religious life, providing guidance on important issues like warfare, treaties, and community matters. The Etruscans believed these insights connected them to the gods, helping them make decisions aligned with divine intent. Their practices reflect a rich tradition of divination central to Etruscan spirituality and governance.
