In Mitzva 247 we described the forbidden Ov ceremony; which gave the Ov the ability to foretell the future.
It is forbidden to inquire from the Ov about the future.
One who inquires from the Ov about the future - and does an action during the Ov ceremony - deserves 39 lashes by Beth Din.
If one does no action, one deserves Makat Mardut; lashes by Rabbinic decree.
Applies to everybody, always, everywhere.
Verse: "There shall not be found amongst you... those who inquire of an Ov" (Devarim 18:10 - 11)
