In Mitzvah #248 we described the forbidden Yid'oni ceremony; which gave the Yid'oni the ability to foretell the future.
It is forbidden to inquire from a Yid'oni about the future.
One who inquires from a Yid'oni about the future - and does an action during the Yid'oni ceremony - deserves 39 lashes by Beth Din.
If one does not do any 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... a Yid'oni" (Devarim 18:10 - 11)
