Hello Oraclies, this will be the last post for a while, a long while. I would first like to thank you all for being such amazing blog readers! So, I've talked about many things. But here are the main things; you've learned the history, who the oracles are, how the oracles gave the tellings, and who used the oracle and why they used it. You've learned about what Pythia did before giving her tellings (bathing in the Castilin Spring, burning Laurel Leaves, etc. read the post here), what the people did to receive the tellings (gave a pelanos to her and sacrificed a goat learn more here). You've learned that the Greeks used the oracle as advice from the gods (famous advice includes the Persian War advice read my post here). You've learned that Apollo killed the Python on the hills of Delphi and the center of the world was at Delphi (read that post here). The oracles were important for Greek society because they gave comfort to people and provided answers to their question. The change from oracles to psychics is a big change in respect. Psychics are considered psychos today. How did that happen? How did the change from a high powered being to a disrespected low powered human? How come humans are not considered to have higher power, like God? Unfortunately, I can not answer these questions, but maybe you can.
Adios,
Delphina
