The Romans practiced augury. This was a form of divination which was the reading of the omens of the gods. The main forms of augury were readings from the signs in the sky or signs from the fight of birds. However, auguries could also be read from the behaviour of many kinds of animals. The ex tripudiis type of augury was taken from the feeding behaviour of hens. It was used especially for predicting the outcome of battles by using hens taken on military expeditions. Some hens were kept in a cage. The cage was then opened and some pulses or a sort of cake was put in front of it. If the hens refused to come out or eat, made loud noises, flapped their wings or flew away, the omens were bad. If the hens eat eagerly and a pulse of crumb fell off their beak and hit the ground, the omens were good.

Your ex used to black out and say his name was Ezekiel or Z you have been having nightmares Is there any demonic references to that name?
According to our Demonologist there is a fallen angel named Ezeqeel. In Enoch1 he was a fallen angel who taught "augury from the clouds" Augury is prophecy, or foretelling of the future. Divination is a form of augury. As far as "Z" there are over a hundred known entities that start with that letter. I would like to mention that just because someone blacks out and says they are someone else does not mean an entity has entered their body. Multiple Personality Syndrome can produce such events. The first step is for him to go to a psychiatrist and be checked out as mentally healthy, only then you can begin to assume it is otherworldly.
