Description

Once upon a time seeking guidance from the dearly departed wasn't just the stuff of legend; it was a real-life practice embedded in the fabric of ancient civilizations. One of the most intriguing aspects is the connection between the living and the deceased. Imagine standing at the crossroads between the earthly realm and the afterlife, seeking answers from those who've crossed over. Oracles of the dead specialized in bridging that gap.

These oracles of the dead weren't just spooky sideshows though; they played a crucial role in the socio-political landscape too. Rulers sought their counsel before making significant decisions, trusting that insights from the afterlife could guide them. In ancient Rome, we find an intriguing example of one of these beings: the Oracle of Cumae. Today we’ll take a glimpse into the ancient oracles of the dead, where the line between the living and the departed blur, and seekers dare to venture into the shadows for a connection with the other side.
