Even in ancient times, oracles were revered more than priests, since with their help the gods could communicate with people, and through the priest - only humanity with the gods. Even now, the oracle is a soothsayer who supposedly communicates with God and conveys his instructions to people. Of course, all perceiving people will not believe in such abilities too sharply, nevertheless, it is believed that there are clairvoyants, psychics and healers, and they will find out about their gift in one way or another. However, this strange and even scary word "oracle", the pronunciation of which creates an association with something big, powerful and knowing a lot, can now name 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 made 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 it 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 the god of divination himself was there. Apollo placed 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 connection between the soothsayer and the cards is clear, because with the help of them, modern clairvoyants and psychics find out the fate of a particular person, give answers to questions. There is the Druid Oracle, the Wiccan and Vampire Oracles, the Oracles of Dr. John Dee, etc. In some way, books can also act as soothsayers, for example, the Book of Fates, which knows the answers to all questions.
Astrological oracles: cards and people
The Star Oracle is a kind of system of special Tarot cards that combine the usual fortune-telling on cards and astrological forecasts. In principle, this is the same as horoscopes, which are created through maps and stars. A clairvoyant must be able to have knowledge of the stars, their location, signs of the zodiac, maps, etc.
Only with the correct use of such a technique, a true prediction will be obtained. The star oracle is based on a special rule called "Three whales", that is, the sign of the zodiac, the planet that controls the sign, and the house of the horoscope.
An astrological oracle is not only an object, 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 entirely clear and detailed, since not every question has an answer and not every answer canbe assigned to a question.
