Access the Divine Wisdom of the Ancient World. We often marvel at the wonders of art, architecture, and mythology created by the great ancient civilizations. Where did their visionaries get the knowledge to leave a legacy that still awes us today-and can we learn to tap that source of wisdom and inspiration? On Becoming an Oracle, Nicki Scully presents a guided workshop for practicing the spiritual techniques that allowed cultures such as the Greeks, Egyptians, and Mayans to make an enduring impact on human evolution. A Cross-Cultural Training Course on Secrets of the Oracles. Drawing upon her comprehensive knowledge of global mystical traditions, Nicki Scully has created a training program that synthesizes oracular practices from across the world. Using a guided visualization technique called "pathworking," she brings you into direct contact with the same sacred sites and god-forms that have served the great prophets and oracles throughout history. Each step of this journey offers you the opportunity to master new skills and forge spiritual connections necessary to become an oracle yourself. The Emergence of Modern-Day Oracles. What does it mean to be an oracle today? "Oracular tradition is no longer confined to temples and cloisters," teaches Nicki Scully. "This is a time when people from all walks of life are called to serve as beacons of wisdom that our world needs." Becoming an Oracle invites you to reach across time to bring the insight and healing power of the ancients into your life today-and to become a living conduit for the energy of the divine.
Nicki Scully has been teaching healing, shamanic arts, and the Egyptian Mysteries since 1983 . During her first visit to Egypt with the Grateful Dead in 1978, Nicki experienced an epiphany that transformed her life. She deepened her focus on healing and began delving into the hidden shamanic arts of Egypt. She is now a lineage holder in the Hermetic tradition of Thoth⎯her teacher and mentor. With Thoth, she developed Alchemical Healing, a comprehensive healing form that is practiced by thousands of practitioners internationally. In the late '80s, Nicki founded Shamanic Journeys, Ltd., and continues to guide inner journeys and spiritual pilgrimages to Egypt and other sacred sites. Nicki lives in Eugene, OR, where she maintains a healing and shamanic consulting practice. She welcomes you to study with her in her beautiful garden center.
I listened to this program in stages, but I genuinely enjoyed it. I did not follow the program exactly; I didn't write anything in a journal as I went along, and honestly, I listened to most of it in my car on my long commute. And yet, it's pleasant to listen to, and Scully narrates well, so it was lovely to let my mind drift and imagine as I was driving. I will probably re-listen to this again, in the future, preferably at a point where I can just sit and close my eyes. The meditative heart breath at the beginning is a wonderful practice. I appreciate the inclusion of so many different cultures in this oracular journey, and I liked the varying accompanying soundscape.
