Overview of Oracling
Definition of Oracling, from Oxfords Online Dictionary”
[“oracle
Noun1( in ancient Greece or Rome) a priest or priestess who acted as a medium for divine advice or prophecy. 2 an infallible authority
Origin Latin Oraculum, from orare ‘speak’]
Bible Oracle In the Old Testament used in every case, except 2 Sam. 16:23, to denote the most holy place in the temple (1 Kings 6:5, 19-23; 8:6). In 2 Sam. 16:23 it means the Word of God. A man inquired “at the oracle of God” by means of the Urim and Thummim in the breastplate on the high priest's ephod. In the New Testament it is used only in the plural, and always denotes the Word of God (Rom. 3:2; Heb. 5:12, etc.). The Scriptures are called “living oracles” (comp. Heb. 4:12) because of their quickening power (Acts 7:38). Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. Computing A relational database programming system incorporating the SQL programming language.

(references) Literature Oracle The answer of a god or inspired priest to an inquiry respecting the future; the deity giving responses; the place where the deity could be consulted, etc.
Oracle The following are famous responses:-
(1) When Croesus consulted the Delphic oracle respecting a projected war, he received for answer, “Croesus Halyn penetrans magnum, pervertet opum vim” (When Croesus passes over the river Halys, he will overthrow the strength of an empire). Croesus supposed the oracle meant he would overthrow the enemy's empire, but it was his own that he destroyed.
(2) Pyrrhus, being about to make war against Rome, was told by the oracle: “Aio te, AEacide, Romanos vincere posse” (I say, Pyrrhus, that you the Romans can conquer), which may mean either You, Pyrrhus, can overthrow the Romans, or Pyrrhus, the Romans can overthrow you.
(3) Another prince, consulting the oracle concerning a projected war, received for answer, “Ibis redibis nunquam per bella peribis” (You shall go shall return never you shall perish by the war), It will be seen that the whole gist of this response depends on the place of the omitted comma; it may be You shall return, you shall never perish in the war, or You shall return never, you shall perish in the war, which latter was the fact.
(4) Philip of Macedon sent to ask the oracle of Delphi if his Persian expedition would prove successful, and received for answer-
“The ready victim crowned for death
Before the altar stands.”
Philip took it for granted that the “ready victim” was the King of Persia, but it was Philip himself.
(5) When the Greeks sent to Delphi to know if they would succeed against the Persians, they were told-
“Seed-time and harvest, weeping sires shall tell
How thousands fought at Salamis and fell.”
But whether the Greeks or the Persians were to be “the weeping sires,” deponent stateth not, nor whether the thousands “about to fall” were to be Greeks or Persians. (See Punctuation.)
(6) When Maxentius was about to encounter Constantine, he consulted the guardians of the Sibylline Books as to the fate of the battle, and the prophetess told him, “Illo die hostem Romanorum case periturum,” but whether Maxentius or Constantine was “the enemy of the Roman people” the oracle left undecided.
(7) In the Bible we have a similar equivoke: When Ahab, King of Israel, was about to wage war on the king of Syria, and asked Micaiah if Ramoth-Gilead would fall into his hands, the prophet replied, “Go, for the Lord will deliver the city into the hands of the king” (1 Kings xxii. 15, 35). Ahab thought that he himself was the king referred to, but the city fell into the hands of the king of Syria.
There are scores of punning prophecies equally equivocal.
Oracle (Sir). A dogmatical person, one not to be gainsaid. The ancient oracles professed to be the responses of the gods, from which there could be no appeal.
“I am Sir Oracle,
And when I ope my lips let no dog bark.”
Shakespeare: Merchant of Venice, i. 1.
To work the oracle. To induce another to favour some plan or join in some project.
“They fetched a rattling price through Starlight's working the oracle with those swells.”- Boldrewood: Robbery under Arms, chap. xii. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
What is Oracling
Summarizing and paraphrasing on the above definitions, Oracling is the Act of seeking Higher Wisdom (Sophia as the Romans called it). Had any of the biblical or historic figures consulted their own INNER Oracles or Higher wisdom, the Inner Oracle of the Divine Word, they may perhaps have had more rewarding outcomes or journeys.
Oracling is not in my opinion the same as Psychic Readings about the future. They are all in the same family, that of the Psyche, but in this instance they stand apart in their approach to spirit. Oracling is done in pursuit of Self. How can I help myself? Not what lies ahead, good bad or ugly, will I be rich, will I marry my soul mate, am I on the right path. These questions are empty. Why not ask, How can I shed some light on my role in this situation, for example in my Financial world? Romantic Life, Spiritual Pursuit? What WORK could I focus on to help bring about the necessary change in vibration to Attract to me all my most Authentic Desires? The Law of Attraction has been widely recognized in the Occult/Metaphysical/Pagan/New Age worlds for a long time now. But it is now that we see to the Heart of it. We must BE what we want. That is the great Alchemy. The inner evolution of your conciousness. To remember your divine Heritage, and that at the root level the Universe has your back and we are all one, in Spirit.
Just like there is different forms Fire can take ( candles, electricity, sensation, Lava….) it is all the same spirit, fire.
Oracling is the Art of Self Love. Discovering the Authentic You, the one that opens to Life and allows it to flow out of your heart and into the world.
Who can do it
I believe Oracling or Daily Dialogue with Spirit ( your Aim and Intent centered around receiving the wisdom of the Spirit), is a spiritual tool/process available to all human beings. Some are born in tune with their inner voice, such is their souls purpose. But most like any thing else in life, must learn the art of self reliance, self trust and ultimately self love. And who better to direct and guide you in your journey than your own Divine Spirit?
Where can you do it
Ultimately anywhere any time, but there is always a foundation to build so that our Inner Tree can travel with us.
Once you finish the course, it is my hope that you will work eventually to allow the inner dialogue to proceed without cards or stones, trusting in the relationship you have formed between you and your Higher Self.
Why do you do it
Here is the fun part. Oracling with the Tree of life is to develop an inner line of communication between you as a person and you as a spirit. The Tool/Cards are the Psychological reinforcement of your desire to cultivate an attitude of Self Reliance in your life.
This tool helps you realize that every thing you look outside your self for, what ever it may be and in what ever realm it exists in, is always inside you.
So if you have a question, if you seek illumination of an experience or a realtionship or situation, seek your own counsel first. In this day and age the mystics assert that we each serve as a guiding light for one another, to do this we need to believe in ourselves first, and by doing so give others permission to believe in themselves as well.
Looking to transcend your Ego, to shed some light on your Shadow, we each are born with the light to see and walk our paths. Oracling helps put us in touch with this gift from Spirit.
When do you do it
When ever you feel you want to. This isn’t a calling on strangers or disembodied sentient energies, this is Self talking with self, so any moment is a good moment to seek one’s Self.
In the beginning we will first work on daily sessions with each aspect of the Tree and Spheres and their Paths to and from. This will help to build the foundation for further exploration.
How does Oracling for Personal growth benefit us?
When we resonate rightly, self with Self we help everyone we meet. Even if no actual physical experience happens our light heals our fellow man. Just as we are healed by their light. When you enter into a relationship with your Higher Self, your Vibration and Energy are increased and refined. This is easily felt by other Humans. It helps to remain accountable for our role in the world. Inner and outer.
Oracling for Personal growth helps facilitate the stretching inward to meet our Divine Spirits halfway. When we meet Spirit halfway, we find ourselves better equipped to let it flow through us, we can work with our Ego to allow a spiritual marriage within us to occur.
The Union of the Lower Self ( Personality) with our Higher Self ( Super Concious Self) is the mystical process of Initiation, spoken of in many esoteric occult/ metaphysical systems. When we begin to work with our Inner Family of Archetypes, or when the Inner Parent/Inner Teen/Inner Child are Unified on the home front we begin to enter into a Co-Creator status with life. We are no longer ruled by the lower desires of the Ego/Teen. Rather we acknowledge the pattern and rise above it joyfully and inspired. We are able to move out of the Survival mode that we sometimes enter into the Victim mindset in life, the Poor me, the Dramas and into Awakened Doing. ( As per E.Tolle)
Meditation
< I can hear you Groaning allready, lol!>
What is meditation
There are many ,many definitions of Meditation and for the purposes of this work, we will consider it in two parts, Active and Passive. One where we Work the mind, and the other is Stilling the Mind.
In the course we will use both.
Who can Meditate
Anyone with a mind can and should meditate.
Where do you meditate
Any were any time and any place really. But in the beginning a safe relaxing place is best. YOU TIME.
Why do you meditate
Mediating helps us in so many ways and on every level, but in this course we use meditation to help us learn to open up to our intuitive knowledge. We will learn to listen to our inner voices when we are able to silence the mind chatter. Through stillness or through guided visualisation they are both effective. But in the furtherance of Oracling for personal growth, meditation helps stimulate the Imaginative faculty, necessary in Working the Intuitive Muscles, and also helps to relax our vice grip on our lives, to be still and open up to what is. And to an awareness of our Inner Voices.
When do you meditate
In this course we will Intuitivly decide on a time to Meditate for Oracling. We will also work Meditation in to our Readings. So prior to a reading grounding and centering will be the focus of Meditation.
How does Meditation Help us Oracle more efficiently?
“ If Prayer is Asking, Meditation is Receiving.”-Sonia Choquette.
Kabblah, is traditionaly held to mean; To receive. In order to receive anything, one must be open to it. So when we meditate we are creating the time and space for a conversation with Our own personal Higher Self and aswell the Universal Spirit that manifests in the world around us.
