Regretably, they had no such device for predicting the future, for the good reason that no such device exists.
You may know the truth of this by the following simple thought experiment:
1. The priests were charged with the preservation of their culture - or at the very least, their continued existence.
2. If they'd had such a device as to predict the future, they'd have used it to find out what dangers were going to come to them.
3. And yet the Spanish came and completely obliterated them, when any historian will tell you that it need not have been if the Aztecs had known of and understood the Spanish in advance.
See? The "magic" of logic shows that no predictive device existed.
