In two words…”Fortune Teller.”
a soothsayer is what they called fortune tellers back in ancient Rome
Sooth equals Truth, so a soothsayer is a truthsayer. They supposedly told the truth about the future.
A soothsayer is a person who claims to speak sooth: specifically one who predicts the future based upon personal, political, spiritual, mental or religious beliefs rather than scientific facts.
Typically, soothsayers include:
Astrologers
Augurs
Clairvoyant
Practitioners of divination
Fortune tellers
Haruspices
Oracles
Seer
Shamans
It is the ability to foretell the future. A soothsayer is sort of like a fortune teller or a mind reader. In Biblical times, soothsayers were referred to as prophets. A soothsayer of modern times was Edgar Cayce.
