This book is about unusual phenomena, which in ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, China and medieval India were qualified as "miracles" and manifestations of divine will. But for the people of antiquity and the Middle Ages, they were not something unique that happened only once for the foreseeable historical period. On the contrary, every person in his life, at least once, came across a prophecy with a running or a rare natural anomaly. The most impressive cases were widely publicized, their descriptions were included in many religious and literary monuments, special genres were formed on the basis of these descriptions: Oyorcritic, paradoxography, special literature on the methods of fortune telling, etc. All these genres were firmly connected with the traditional folk wisdom coming from the depths of centuries
