In many religious, philosophical, and mythological traditions, the soul is the incorporeal essence of a living being. Depending on the philosophical system, a soul can either be mortal or immortal. In Judeo-Christianity, only human beings have immortal souls (although immortality is disputed within Judaism and may have been influenced by Plato). But what could be the substance that makes up the Human Soul? Has the evidence for its identification been discovered? And if so, does it coincide with the forbidden power of Divination?
