Abstract :
In the very old times, clergymen believed to bring news from the unseen, some of them claimed that their souls admitted all forms of nature because of purity; some others thought that genies informed them of the events that were about to happen. Anyway, awareness of the unseen secrets and knowledge about what is concealed has always been one of the merits claimed by clergymen since very old times. As nowadays fortunetellers, astrologists and prayerwriters, who are heir to those “pure-looking” old ones, consistently believe to own those qualities, and the public too, acknowledge this claim and believe in these convictions. In the cities of Ilam Province, there are some people who are practicing astrology and prayer-writing. Most of these people live in the villages and the suburbs.
