The Lord of the Sun

The ancient oracles were never fooled by malfeasants and cowards. Hear this account.

A young Greek man---let us call him Atticus to preserve his descendants from further shame---was out walking with two of his friends when they were suddenly ambushed and set upon by a band of thieves. The two friends were detained and menaced and both eventually died of their wounds, while Atticus managed to run away and escape unharmed. When he reached his home, he told no one what had happened, and so everyone thought that there had been no witnesses to the fates of the two unfortunate men.

Not so. The Lord of the Sun, the Great Eye of Heaven, saw it all.

Several years later, Atticus was having problems in his life and sought the advice of Apollo at Delphi by means of an oracle through the priestess.

Apollo responded, but in a wrathful voice:

YOU ABANDONED YOUR FRIENDS
AS THEY LAY DYING.
I WILL GIVE YOU NO ORACLE.
GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!

The same thing happens to Witches all the time. The Gods will give us knowledge that we could not possibly know. I will tell some of my own experiences, and I hope to differentiate them into incidents of clairvoyance (reflected into me indirectly, like the light of the Moon) and incidents of foretelling (illuminating my mind directly, like the light of the Sun).

*** Blessed be to those who serve the Great Mother and the Horned Father.

Just one of the amazing and true stories from the ancient Oracle at Delphi, through which the Lord of the Sun spoke to mankind.


In 279 BC, the people of the city of Delphi in Greece learned from its martial scouts that a Celtic tribe to the north was planning an invasion.

The Delphic citizens were not terribly warlike, and they knew that they were in trouble. Clutching their pearls, their brows all furrowed, they approached the Oracle of Delphi. There, Apollo--god of prophecy, the sun, and music--would speak to them. They asked how they could avoid the imminent catastrophe.


Apollo, through his entranced priestess, gave the following response:

EVERYBODY CALM DOWN!
*I* WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS.


When the Celtic tribe came southward toward Delphi, they were met with strange terrestrial and weather phenomena. First, an earthquake. Next, an avalanche of boulders and rocks. Finally – and very strange for Greece it was – a colossal snowstorm.


The Celts were forced to retreat. The Lord of the Sun kept his word.

*** Blessed be to those who serve the Great Mother and the Horned Father.
