Do not seek out Yidoni (occult seers) for guidance.
This mitzvah forbids seeking out or consulting practitioners of Yidoni — a form of sorcery in which bones or objects are used to produce voices or messages. Even if the person does not practice the sorcery himself, turning to such a source is considered defilement, as it reflects reliance on superstition rather than Hashem. The Torah commands that spiritual truth be sought only through legitimate means, such as prophecy and Torah wisdom.
