This book provides the general reader with an account of the
diverse and often highly complex oracular techniques which made
verbal communication with the gods possible. As negative oracles
and omens were mostly an expression of divine anger, skilled
experts attempt to divert the anger by ritual magic means and thus
to correct the future or transgressions from the past. The topic of
"Hittite mantics" has hitherto been largely neglected, except in
specialist literature, although mantics was of supreme importance
for Hittite society and was closely bound up with politics and
cult.
