Ask the Oracle: divination & revelation through dramatic Community ritual

  • Temple of the Rebel Goddess 400 Linden Avenue Dayton, OH, 45403 United States (map)

Oracle - n. a priest or priestess acting as a medium through whom advice or prophecy was sought from the gods in classical antiquity.

Have you ever desired to get a clear answer to an important question? Have you ever wished the spirits or gods would speak to you in an audible voice?

Experience what our ancestors understood: the power of receiving an answer directly from the spirits and gods through a human oracle. In this ritual, our apprentices take the seat for the first time.

In this ritual, facilitated by Julian and the Oracular Trance Apprentices, we will offer our work to the three Norns, as inspired by Dana Paxton’s work. In Norse mythology, the Norns sat by the world tree's roots, spinning and weaving the fates of gods and humans. Three of our apprentices will act as seers, answering all questions from the participants as a group. This will allow you to receive a fuller, more in-depth answer to your questions. This is the first ritual in which the apprentices will be serving as the seers. Please consider coming to support them as they begin serving the community as oracles.

What makes a good question for an Oracle?

First and foremost, ask a question that you care about. The intention behind the question gives it an energy that attracts those spirits who can best answer it. Asking a question for the sake of asking often lacks the energy of desire necessary to receive a good answer. Try to ask open-ended questions rather than simple yes/no questions. Some examples of good questions are:

What is my truth today?

What do I most need to know about _____?

What’s a different perspective on _____ ?

What am I not seeing in _____________?

Doors will be locked before and during the ritual to ensure the sanctity of the space. Please make sure to arrive on time. Doors will be unlocked for entry from 7 p.m.-7:15 pm.

In order to increase access, we have made this offering a donation-based gathering.
