When we read that ancient tyrants hired magicians to perform haruspicy with the entrails of dismembered infants, we immediately discount the record as propaganda.— Take Your Vitamin Z
In Mesopotamia, where they were confidential advisers of the kings, the magicians belonged to the official {188} clergy; they invoked the aid of the state gods in their incantations, and their sacred science was as highly esteemed as haruspicy in Etruria.— The Oriental Religions in Roman Paganism
As a rule, it was involved with haruspicy, and had a side of sacred anatomy and the kitchen which revolted the sensitive -- dissection of flesh, inspection of entrails, not to mention the slaughtering and strangling of victims.— Saint Augustin
