We are forbidden from employing the idolatrous practice of Yid'oni.
This commandment forbids engaging in Yidoni, a form of witchcraft or occult divination, often described as inserting into one's mouth a bone from the yidoa fowl. After then burning incense, saying certain formulas and doing certain rites, the person would enter a trance-like state, and he would begin issuing predictions about the future. Like Ov, it is a form of occult divination, deceiving people into believing in supernatural powers apart from Hashem. The Torah strictly prohibits these practices to ensure that Israel relies only on prophecy and divine truth, not superstition.
