Querent
From HandWiki
A querent (derived, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, from the Latin quærēns "seeking", the present participle of quærere "to seek, gain, ask") is "one who seeks".
Querent became used to denote "a person who questions an oracle." The oracle may simply be a divinatory technique, such as the I Ching, that is manipulated by the querents themselves without recourse to any other human agency. Alternatively, it may involve another person, such as a "fortune teller" – particularly a practitioner of tarot reading or other form of mediumship – from whom advice is sought.[1]
