Introduction
More and more people in this new era are seeing how magical and mystical life can be. We are finding our way into much broader, enriching and rewarding levels. So many of us are now exploring the spiritual aspects of our existence; observing our lives, and the effects we have on the people around us and on planet earth. Life today is increasingly complex, however, with so many decisions to make and puzzles to solve. We hunger for meaning and guidance and often want and need answers to life's many questions - here and now.
As many of us already know, there are tools for discovering what's going on, and why, which help us to find our path. Throughout history successive generations have created intuitive guidance tools that reflected the vibration of their culture and their times - the I Ching in ancient China; the Runes in Scandinavia; the Tarot in early Europe.
Oracles have been 'read' from an incredible array of objects including stones, bones, tea-leaves, coins, sticks, the backs of tortoise shells and cards. The word "oracle" comes from the Latin word meaning "to pray". It is also connected to the word for mouth. An oracle is described in Webster's Dictionary as being 'a divine announcement' and 'the medium by which a god reveals hidden knowledge or makes known the divine purpose'. Further, it is said to be 'an authoritative or wise statement or prediction'. In essence an oracle is a tool that allows a conversation with divine forces. They give us signposts and maps so that we can make better, more informed choices in life. In truth, we have the answers to the questions we ask inside of us; however we often need the answers to come through a vehicle outside of ourselves. Now we have the Sabian Oracle, which gives us a direct route into issues that reflect our modern era.
Based on the Sabian Symbols, first created in 1925, and consisting of 360 answers, the Sabian Oracle can be used to guide us through questions about our day-to-day lives: work, relationships, health, spirituality etc. Using the Sabian Oracle will help you to discover what's going on and why, leading to deeper self-awareness. You are able to make more informed choices and greatly enhance your life. It provides us with a psychic and spiritual tool for deep guidance, insight and the ability to see into the amazing occurrences and synchronicities that occur to us and happen around us. You can ask questions about what your future holds, how to go about doing something, what you need to know about a situation or the people involved, directions on your spiritual path or you can use it to get a message for the day. They lead us out of the wilderness into a place of greater self-determination, fulfillment and enjoyment. Using them also widens and enlarges our psychic abilities and awareness and increases our attunement with our intuitive depths.
