L'encens [ɑ̃sɑ̃, ɑ̃sɑ̃ːs] (le -s final peut être muet ou prononcé) est un terme vernaculaire pour qualifier diverses substances dégageant une odeur agréable lors de leur combustion ou de leur chauffage.

Divination

Oracle
An oracle is a person or thing considered to provide wise and insightful counsel or prophetic predictions, most notably including precognition of the future, inspired by deities. If done through occultic means, it is a form of divination. The word oracle comes from the Latin verb ōrāre, "to speak" and properly refers to the priest or priestess uttering the prediction. In extended use, oracle may also refer to the site of the oracle, and to the oracular utterances themselves, called khrēsmē 'tresme' (χρησμοί) in Greek.
Chinese fortune telling
Chinese fortune telling, better known as Suan ming () has utilized many varying divination techniques throughout the dynastic periods.
