Soothsayers, the ancient priests and seers who gazed into the misty realms of prophecy. From Druids collecting mistletoe to divine the future, to the prophet Isaiah conversing with an angel in a 15th-century fresco, these mystics have captivated human imagination throughout history. One such figure is Muhammad, the future prophet of Islam. In 622, he embarked on a perilous journey alongside Abu Bakr to escape persecution in Mecca and seek refuge in Medina. This migration known as Hijra marked a turning point for Islam and shaped its destiny forever. Artistic depictions also portray prophets like Micah and Job, their visages captured on canvas or wood panels. The Ghent Altarpiece showcases intricate scenes from biblical narratives adorned with prophets' presence - their wisdom guiding believers through centuries. Intriguingly, representations of Muhammad are scarce due to religious sensitivities; however, an engraving from 1843 offers a glimpse into how artists envisioned him during that era. The Annunciation holds profound significance across various faiths. Saints and prophets stand witness as angels deliver heavenly messages to Mary in stunning artworks spanning centuries. These masterpieces serve as windows into spiritual encounters that shape our understanding of divination. Not limited to religious contexts alone, soothsayers extend beyond sacred boundaries. The Erythraean Sibyl gazes out from the left wing of the Ghent Altarpiece while her counterpart Cumaean Sibyl graces its right wing - both embodying ancient prophetic traditions outside established religions. From mistletoe-clad Druids to revered Islamic figures fleeing persecution; from celestial visions shared by saints and angels to enigmatic sibyls peering through time's veil - soothsayers traverse diverse cultures and epochs alike. Their existence reminds us that humanity has always sought glimpses into what lies ahead – whether through ancient rituals, divine revelations, or artistic interpretations.
