Esther J. Hamori examines the multifaceted role of women as practitioners of divination within the ancient Near East and the Hebrew Bible. By analyzing diverse accounts of prophecy, necromancy, and other esoteric arts, the author challenges traditional scholarly assumptions regarding gender and religious authority in antiquity. This study provides a rigorous investigation into how women accessed and mediated divine knowledge across various cultural and historical contexts.
