Oracle You Glad to Hear From Me? Decoding Ancient Oracles & Prophecies...

We're here this Tuesday with another fun history episode because Liv deserves a break too! This was a fun one to research and write for you all, just a good ole deep dive into all the fun little oracles that are out there. Okay, we only looked at Delphic oracles, but to be fair that's because they were so incredibly important within the ancient Greek cultural understanding that they are the easiest ones to find. Plus I was reading through a great book about them and got way to excited. Leave any questions wherever you can leave comments, Liv and I love hearing from you all! With all swiftness and much chaos, Hermes <3

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. I try to provide direct warnings when there is reference to anything with overtly traumatic themes but be aware that Greek mythology regularly features assault, death, and many other potentially triggering events.
