Hey /x/, I'm working on putting together a list of historical artifacts used for obtaining revelation, and I was wondering if you could help me out. This is what I already have:
>the urim and thummim
>Aztec obsidian mirrors
>terraphim or household gods
>the Mixtec people's heart jewel
>mormon seer stones
It's a pretty short list right now and I was wondering if you could help me expand it

In the aztec culture, special wizards could predict wheter a person had lost his tonalli (the representation of the soul) or not by looking at clear water during raining months.

These literally are the Urim and Thummim though.

If you ask a Mormon they're supposed to be, but when you look into it they are functionally very different. The urim and thummim we're probably used in a way similar to Lots where they would be put into a bag and a question would be asked and whichever one was drawn out would be the answer. Whereas Mormon Sears Stones worked more like crystal balls would you look into and see visions.
