Seer

A seer is an individual who is believed to possess extrasensory perception, allowing them to perceive information about the future, the past, or hidden knowledge. This term is often used interchangeably with prophet, clairvoyant, or psychic, though the specific connotations may vary depending on cultural and religious contexts. In Hebrew, a seer is referred to as רֹאֶה (Ro'eh), which literally translates to "one who sees." In Arabic, the term is عَرَّاف (‘arraaf), and in Greek, it is often translated as μαντης (mantis). Historically, seers have played significant roles in various societies, providing guidance, interpreting omens, and offering insights into divine will. Their practices and methods have varied widely, encompassing rituals, trances, and the interpretation of natural phenomena. In many traditions, seers are considered to be intermediaries between the human and spiritual realms, bridging the gap between the seen and the unseen.
