The Oracle of Apollo at Delphi

The Oracle of Apollo at DelphiThe Universal Clock falls back in time and we find ourselves in a temple. Thissanctuary is situated beneath the "Shining Rocks" of the Mount Parnassus. Peopleflock to this very spot and have done so for centuries in the hopes of findingtruths, inspiration, and guidance, through a spiritual connection to the GodApollo.The famed mathematician Pythogoras came here and he brought with him a younggirl whom he trained to be the channeling agent between himself - the seeker -and the God Apollo. She became a priestess or Pythia. Over the centuries manysuch priestesses were trained as divine channels. The Pythia (channel or voiceof God)was also known as a Sibylla (or Sibyl the Prophetess) went on to divinefor such famed people has Alexander the Great, Lykurgos, and Oedipus. Kings fromall over were sending Caravans of people to the Shining Rocks for guidance andinspiration.Ask a question and i will give you guidance as summoned to me through GodApollo.The Shining Rock was but one of many places where priestesses were trained.What occult powers could be at work at the sanctuary at Delphi that could turn apeasant or a King into a visionary. Why were mere mortals able to divine spiritat those moments when the air could fill their lungs with the scent of a sweetperfume. If the timing was correct, even a beast would show signs of change uponentering the Shining Rocks of Mount Parnassus.The area of Delphi was originally called Pytho and the first sanctuary isbelieved to have been erected in the 8th Century BC.Time moved forward and the Oracle fell silent. The well of knowledge had rundry.Today people visit the site but mostly what they see are statuesque remnants ofa great historical period.What became of the prophecies?Some Sybilla prophecies were recorded on parchment and passed from generation togeneration. The most talked about Sybil Prophecy of this age is the prophecywhich mentions 9 periods of 800 years. The age after the ninth period is filledwith doom and gloom.The Sybilline ProphecyThe things in the tenth generation shall come to pass. The Earth shall be shakenby a great earthquake that throws many cities into the sea. There shall be war.Fire shall come flashing down from the heavens and many cities burn. Black ashesshall fill the great sky. Then know the Anger of the Gods.The Syballine OraclesPerhaps God Apollo's own advice may be the best legacy of this period."Know thyself, and turn inward for counsel. Make of that counsel what you want."
