Even in ancient times, oracles were revered more than priests, because with their help the gods could communicate with people, and through the priest only humanity with the gods. Even now, the oracle is a diviner who supposedly communicates with God and conveys his teachings to people. Of course, all perceiving people will not believe in such abilities too abruptly, nevertheless, it is believed that clairvoyants, psychics and healers exist, and in one way or another they learn about their gift. However, this strange and even terrible word "oracle", the pronunciation of which in the head arises an association with something big, powerful and knows a lot, can now call harmless or almost harmless things.
Oracles in Ancient Greece
This is perhaps the most developed civilization in this regard, here the oracles were mentioned in myths, legends were composed about them, they were worshiped.
People from all over the planet converged to the soothsayers and listened to the speeches of the gods. The most famous and, as was believed, effective was the
Delphic oracle, and for good reason. The fact is that, as people believed, he was the center of the Earth only because there the god of prophecy Apollo himself put a stone on the grave of the defeated Python. For the ancient people, the oracle is a place of accumulation of divine energy.
The oracle in modern times is ...
In fact, in the modern world of magic, an oracle is a kind of magical item, most often cards. The relationship between the soothsayer and the cards is clear, because with the help of them modern clairvoyants and psychics will learn the fate of a particular person, give answers to questions. There is an Oracle Druid, Wiccan and Vampire Oracle, Oracle of Dr. John Dee, etc. To some extent, soothsayers can also be books, for example, the Book of Fates, which knows the answers to all questions.
Astrological oracles: cards and people
The star oracle is a certain system of special Tarot cards that combine the usual divination on the cards and astrological forecasts. In principle, this is the same as horoscopes, which are created through cards and stars. The clairvoyant should be able to possess knowledge of the stars, their location, zodiac signs, maps, etc.
Only with the correct use of such a technique will a true prediction be obtained. The star oracle is based on a special rule called the “Three Whales,” that is, the zodiac sign, the planet that controls the sign, and the house of the horoscope.
The astrological oracle is not only a subject, but also a person who declares that he is not a person at all, but a being who knows the answers to all questions and warns that sometimes the answers may not be fully understood and detailed, since not every question has an answer and not every answer can be attributed to any question.
