Imagine the sight of a tiny old woman
Sitting in a meager chair
Legs spread out widely
Her gray head bowed toward Mother Earth
What is she doing?
Why are her eyes closed?
What are those sounds coming out of her mouth?
Oh, my, now she is talking with me!
Imagine traveling back in time
To late BC and early AD centuries
Pythia, the Oracle of Delphi offering
Ecstatic speech, gibberish, and prophesying
In the Temple of Apollo, Ancient Greece.
She sits on a tripod while
Vapors rise from an open rock
She inhales, then exhales, communicating
What she hears and what she sees
Enigmatic utterances and frenzied sounds
Sharing them with priests and people.
The Oracle is not specific to one person
Just a role, played by a woman
Selected for her skills and
Divine connection to all that is.
We return back to present time
Sitting with our little elder of a woman.
Some call her a crone who
Practices sacred shamanism
Maybe even divination, magical rituals
Miraculous practices by breathing in
The divine, while staying human
Exhaling her channeled understandings and
Wisdom to the world.
As she bows her head downward, she
Breathes deeply, she speaks softly and
Then loudly as her voice becomes powerful
Filling the room with her embodied soul speak
While those around her listen to her words
Observe her movements and animation.
These people have been starving for truth and
Knowledge, revelations, epiphanies, and hope.
But, she is no human guru or cult leader.
Some people may view her as a witch
Frightened by her supposèd skills
Worried that she portends only evil
The darkness and blackness of creation.
They may want to destroy her
Whereas she is the most positive and
Gleeful, loving presence I know.
After all, I know her energies intimately
Not from TikTok or Instagram
Not from Facebook or X, some
Through training by guides of all sorts.
She comes to me when I am alone and
Wanders through me when I am still
Quiet, and breathing gently.
I ask her to reveal whatever
She has to tell me
Whatever she finds pertinent
Even though I also ask questions.
And, she comes.
Not like a fairy tale godmother
But, quite mystically and amazingly
She comes.
My Pythia Oracle’s name is Rose and
She offers me insight and consolation
Creativity, truth, connection and so much more.
Almost as if she is an angel
Or an ancient deity among all the many
Gods and Goddesses, spiritual guides
Mentors and Teachers
Priests and Priestesses whom
I have heard about or known.
What is important, quite selfishly, is
That she comes to me
Not always at the exact moment
I call upon her, but I know
She will come if I call.
She also comes when I haven’t asked
Her to come, offering her wisdom and clarity
For free whenever she wants to.
Perhaps she is a middle management sort of
Energy being, a portal who seems highly inclined
More closely aligned to the spiritual and sacred
Non-physical world than I am.
We talk together and
I try to listen carefully which is easy
Because she communicates in a style
Perfect just for me.
I can hear, feel, and see her communications.
No, I am not psychotic and she is not an hallucination
But she seems to be my very own private and personal gift
A vibrant energy of divine bright light
That I am getting to know
A divine mystery to behold!
Some will say she is part of my mind
And that is fine.
If we are all connected
We are all One, then yes
We are each and all as well.
You, too, can connect with an Oracle of
Your own wherever you are, and
Ask for guidance, support and
Answers to your many questions
If you will get still, be quiet and breathe gently
In a private space, asking for your own
Oracle to reveal itself to you
In whatever form or sense that you can
Best experience it.
Just wait and stay tuned into the
Vapors rising from Mother Earth and those
Showering you from galactic space, from the cosmos.
These oracles are all around us, some
Throughout our spaces and places that
We know about, and some that we haven’t
Visited yet, in some other dimensions
Perhaps in other times and frequencies.
How will you know when yours talks to you?
You’ll just know.
Savor and enjoy it and
Know that it can happen for you
Whenever you ask.
