Divination
Instead of edit warring about this, once reverted you should attempt to discuss it and reach consensus here. While divination and prophecy are not identical, they are closely related. Please read both articles. Divination is not only fortune telling, it includes visions (which in the context of prophecy is often called inspiration which can include such divinatory visions). — Paleo Neonate  – 15:15, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Quoting WordNet for divinatory: "resembling or characteristic of a prophet or prophecy". — Paleo  Neonate  – 15:18, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

You may be reading the wrong dictionary entry. Divination derives from a Latin term of being inspired by gods, and originally referred to divinely inspired predictions.
