The Oracles of Delphi and Dodona:
Ancient Sites of Women's Wisdom and Gods' Prophecy
A talk by Marguerite Rigoglioso, Ph.D.author, The Cult of Divine Birth in Ancient Greece and Virgin Mother Goddesses of Antiquity
Friday – October 15th, 7:30 PM – 9:30PM
In ancient times, priestesses delivered the wisdom of the deities to guide individuals, kings, and countries in their personal and political affairs. In this provocative talk, author Marguerite Rigoglioso reveals the fascinating operations of the oracles at Delphi and Dodona in ancient Greece, exploring how women functioned as the most famous psychics and channelers of all times. Her talk will cover:
* priestesses' use of sacred medicines to induce trance
* the mystical connections of their activity with sound vibrations and light
* why such women were related symbolically to the honeybee
-- and what the demise of the bee might be prophesying today
* the importance of the snake as a force for healing, protection, and prediction at oracular sites
* how these oracular practices were related to an entire cult dedicated to divine birth
* the link among the oracles, virgin birth, and the Pleiades, an asterism deeply revered by the Greeks
