At the House of Vines, a cat named Sannion is pursuing his work as a hellenic polytheist. In general it's a cool blog and related site (or vice versa) but I especially struck by Sannion's work as a public oracle in Eugene Oregon.
I've known folks who busked tarot before, but none who offered Greek-letter sortilege, or direct oracular speech from Dionysus, either! I'd think that even up there in Ecotopia that has to be an unusual thing. A street-corner oracle who sets up his own shrine to the gods of his work is cool enough for me...
He also uses the 'Homeric' oracle, but he seems to use modern six-sided dice. I like my ceramic astragals...
Very cool stuff; As often as I see people offerign tarot, tea leaf and bone readings out here I've never come across this, and its probably the only one I'd take advantage of myself
ReplyDeleteWow, I used to read Sannion's work all the time when we were on the same mailing list. Goodf to know he's still active!
