Excerpt from The Lost Oracles: A Masque The Book of Revelation, sometimes known as the Apocalypse, and traditionally but erroneously ascribed to Saint John, was the basis of many a mediaeval mystery. In more modern times its sublime scenes and gorgeous imagery has furnished forth a number of oratorios (though no opera, so far as I am aware), and been the subject of many a painter's brush. Under the circumstances it may seem presumptuous to think that any new and fresh interpretation of so old a theme is possible. Yet I venture to hope that in the dramatization of the struggle between the pagan cults of antiquity and early Christianity here presented, both the Apocalypse and the Death of the Gods have received a new literary valuation. For I have tried to touch with modern poetry and modern passion one of the most tragically beautiful episodes in the history of human culture.

Gorgeous and evocative original art frames each of the 36 child archetypes cards in this oracle deck, enhanced with both a guidebook and unique archetypal wheel that offers a unique way to discover the mythic children who live within your own life story. This deck is a complement for those who are fascinated by esoteric and psycho-spiritual awareness, reflecting a Jungian approach to depth, archetype and parts of self work. The oracles, each child offering individual voice, explores dynamic and individual child archetypes. Each child through the lens of she, he or they, holds unique energies that encompass a modern exploration of experience including challenges, shadow stories and hidden gifts. This is a new approach to archetypal exploration focused on child archetype and inner child work. The archetypal wheel is a special addition to this deck, offering a creative depth tool to use with your oracle deck or to explore your own stories and art. The authors offer a powerful companion class exploring the deck, through personal story and creative exploration, offered online through JourneyPath Institute. Each of the thirty-six Oracle of the Lost Children are expressed through eight archetypal types: Orphan, Wounded, Eternal, Magical, Nature, Wild, Divine and Wise. In addition to the children there are cross-pollinated symbolic references held within each card, offering an added layer of intrigue. Each of the child archetypes will offer tremendous insights, many hold fascinating clues and others are aligned with mythic presence. All are excited to share their stories with you and inspire your life!

A gripping modern-day detective story about the scientific quest to understand the Oracle of Delphi Like Walking the Bible, this fascinating book turns a modern eye on an enduring legend. The Oracle of Delphi was one of the most influential figures in ancient Greece. Human mistress of the god Apollo, she had the power to enter into ecstatic communion with him and deliver his prophesies to men. Thousands of years later, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist William J. Broad follows a crew of enterprising researchers as they sift through the evidence of history, geology, and archaeology to reveal—as far as science is able—the source of her visions.

Jeremy Bennett was expecting a quiet tranquil few days with his grandparents at their cottage in the country. What he got was anything but. Finding himself abducted by a number of delinquent dwarfs and whisked off through a time portal into another dimension he really didn't think matters could get any worse. He was wrong. Having been mistaken for a powerful wizard he is obliged to live on his wits, whilst trying to find a way of getting home again. His only hope is to speak with the resident wizard Montacute. Unfortunately he is getting passed his best and often makes mistakes whilst performing spells. To top it all the throne is in danger of being usurped, and what's more Old Smokey, the volcano overlooking the dwarf citadel is in imminent danger of exploding. Can Jeremy help find a solution to all these problems? If only he could solve the puzzle of getting the magical Oracle to work. Trouble is no-one has managed it to-date, not even Montacute. What chance does he stand?

The oracles have always been the guardians of peace. Now they are the heralds of war. After a century of planning, their strike is swift and brutal. In a night of upheaval the kings and queens are cast from their thrones, their kingdoms replaced by a Mage Empire. The people are quick to resist but freedom lies in the hands of an outcast.Hunted by soldiers and assassins, Raiden retreats to a final refuge. As he prepares his last stand an unexpected ally arrives at his door. She may be poisoned, but she is far from powerless. Together they will build a rebellion that will defy the Empire. As the world prepares for a mage war, one oracle is noticeably absent, and rumors abound as to her fate. Betrayed by her oracle sisters, trapped in an anti-magic sphere, Alydian rots in solitude. Each day she fights despair and madness, and plots her escape. With her magic bound, even she believes she is helpless. But such power cannot be shackled. When it is unleashed Alydian will break mountains.And the oracles that betrayed her.

This book traces the belief in oracles back to Orpheus, the legendary poet-prince, who travelled with Jason, charmed the sirens, and descended into Hades trying to save his Eurydice. Orpheus is one of those figures like Theseus, somewhat historical, fascinating, the subject of 27 operas. Orpheus may be the first Kristos, 'anointed one,' said to be a pioneer, a preacher (of apparently very persuasive talents), who preached a belief in metempsychosis, forbade sacrifice, murder, or the eating of meat - went against the mainline of belief and was said to have been assassinated during a Dionysian ceremony. Orphic writings, while mentioned by Plato and others, are lost, but his ideas have come down to us through a succession of Christos -Zoroaster, Krishna, Gautama, Jesus, Mani, Muhammad - not all of whom found martyrdom to be sure: Zoroaster was said to have been consumed by a flash of lighting, and there is Muhammad, suspended between heaven and earth. The lost poems of Orpheus are said to be oracular in nature and Bakkids and Sybils roamed the byways reciting them. This was before temple building, and on of the earliest of these was the shrine at Delphi. Of course belief in oracles goes hand in hand with a belief in any immaterial and parallel world inhabited by spirits or 'souls' where the future is as clearly perceived as the past. The priest of the shrine - or the shrine itself - provided mortals some access to that other world and its foreknowledge - the ancient Greeks believed. The author wants to demonstrate, not the truth (necessarily) of oracles but the power of belief in them, and in the attempt to show the influence of Orpheus on oracular belief we must also acknowledge his influence on spiritual or "Orphic religions," and how we have traded an entire world of the spirit for something more efficient but far less 'soul-satisfying.' Nostradamus emerges somewhere out of the Middle Ages to show that belief in oracles had not yet died. After all, the spirit was still with us in almost universal belief. The author interprets one of Nostradamus' quatrains that seems to presage the Gulf War and Norman Schwartzkopf.
