A prophecy involves a prophet foretelling the future by making a prediction. Prophecies are a form of divination usually inspired by dreams, visions, or inspirations received from important deities. By far the most common type of prophecies we hear about relate to the ending of the world. Although some people are strong believers of prophecies, a prophecy is really just a prediction. By no means is a prophecy likely to be completely correct. Some characters in the Night World series are prophets. Examples include Aradia, the blind Maiden of the witches, who had a vision when she was just a year old. According to one of the Wild Power prophecies, the Wild Power children were born in the year Aradia had her vision. The Crone of the witches, Edgith Harman, was also a prophet who had a dream foretelling the location of one of the Wild Powers.-- Back.
Prophecy in a broad sense, is the prediction of future events or the speaking of divine words (divine Revelation) through chosen human messengers (prophets). The etymology of the word is Greek, from pro- "before" plus the root of phanai "speak", i.e. "speaking before" or "foretelling" (proclamation).
