High priestess

Is it possible to hire and test before turn 4?
Just noticed is says no divines before 4, but nothing against not hiring

In fact, you need to hire and test before turn 4 in order to do a divine on turn 4.

I am not very smart. I have always hired on turn four, tested and hoped to divine on six.
Look out world here I come. Might have to actually read the rulebook one day.
Thanks Vball

You cannot test before turn 4.  Your earliest use of a high priestess or maiden is turn four, first possible divine is turn 5.

I beg to differ I just tested and passed on turn three

Located in kingdom Info at top of T0

This is an exploratory game, no divinations (either by priestess or consul)
are permitted until turn 4.

There are some restrictions in acquiring a high priestess in the game.
First, a temple is required to be constructed at the population center
before a noble maiden may be hired (use Order #611 located under the
Kingdom menu as a Popcenter action). A noble maiden may then be hired at
the temple's location with Order #510 (located under the Kingdom menu as a
Miscellaneous action). The orders to create a temple or a noble maiden may
be issued on any turn. To advance a noble maiden into becoming a high
priestess, the maiden must successfully pass her test for the gift with
Order #509 (located under the Divine menu as a Miscellaneous action)
however the test may only be performed on turn 3 or later.

So can’t divine anything until T4 can’t test until T3

In the rulebook? Last time i read it was 1987. Has anything else changed?

Should be at top of turn zero set up, but that could be devout kingdom set up?  Rules not updated as I could see.

Also when game is created (under options) you can pick exploratory which is T4 divination or pagan no divinations. So that is set at game creation. The testing is in set up T zero at top.
