A Yid'oni would take a bone from a certain bird and put it in his mouth and perform some ceremony, after which the bird would foretell the future.
It is forbidden to be a Yid'oni and do this ceremony.
Applies to everybody, everywhere, always
Verse: "Do not consult with the... Yid'oni" (Vayikra 19:31)
