What is an Oracle?

what is an oracle

It can be traced back to Ancient Greece. In that civilization, the oracles had a very important role to play whenever a decision had to be made. Even if it is much less common to do so nowadays, you can still consult an oracle.

What is the meaning of an oracle?

Initially, it was defined as the answer to a question asked to the gods or any divinity. Most of the time, it was a question about the future that could be answered with a simple yes or no.

However, most divinatory oracles need to be interpreted. By extension, this word also refers to the often sacred place where the answer to the question was given, or even to the consulted god or goddess.  

How can anyone ask the Oracle anything?

The Oracle also refers to the human middleman through whom the question will be asked and the answer will be expressed.

It could be a medium, a psychic, a tarot reader or even a shaman. During the consultation, this go-between will follow an extremely specific ceremonial ritual that can lead him or her into a state of trance.

The various Oracles
