This article was planned as an investigation into the astrogeographical resonance coordinates of oracle places. I tried to provide a short definition of the form in which the oracle was received and of the central deity at the different places in order for you to get an idea about how the astrogeographic coordinates might relate to the different forms of divination. I made quite a big effort trying to locate the exact positions of each of the sites as well as to find useful information on the way the oracles were cast.
Oracle Temples in ancient Greece
The arts and profession of oracular consultation played an important role in the ancient greek world. Long before the development of classical hellenistic astrology and the “modern greek zodiac” from around the 3rd or 2rd century BC under the influence of the closer contact with Chaldean astrology the greek temple priests as well as the “chresmologoi” (oracle-sellers) and “manteis” (seers) had practised the arts of prediction through the casting of oracles and/or clearvoyant or sensitive perception since the late 2nd millenium in the greek cities and at the famous oracle temples.
The oldest known oracle temple was the magical Temple of Dodona in north-western Greece. In Dodona answers to questions were received through listening to the murmur of oak trees and the cooing of doves. Later
The Oracle of Dodona – the oldest known oracle site
Dodona in Epirus in northwestern Greece is considered the oldest Hellenic oracle, possibly dating to the second millennium BCE according to Herodotus.
