An oracle is an entity or system believed to be capable of providing answers or revealing information about the future or unknown situations.

Historically, oracles were consulted by individuals seeking guidance or predictions. Methods used by oracles included interpreting signs, dreams, cards, or direct communication with supernatural entities.

Though in ancient times oracles were associated with religious beliefs, today the term is more widely used to refer to any source of wisdom or advice considered reliable and accurate.
