Oracle Consultation
Seventh Day of the solar month
"The Delphic oracle functioned one day a month for eight months of the year, from early spring to late autumn. Consultation days were likely accompanied by major Delphic festivals, though we only have record of a few of these. Petitioners could consult only about a single issue, probably involving two standard questions. The cost paid for consulting the oracles was pelanos – a type of bread."
- Delphic Calendar via Pytho.Notion
The Temple of Hyacinthus observes the Oracle Consultation once a month on the 7th day; starting in Theoxenios and concluding in Poitropios. With the exception of Apellaios, due to Hyakíntha.
The Oracle Consultation is also not observed during any major lunar event such as a full moon, or eclipse.
How to Celebrate
If your Okios honors Lord Apollo in the form of a shrine or altar, it is appropriate to replenish offerings and pour libations to him on this day.
In the same vein, fresh incense, or a comparable offering, should be provided.
Set time aside to invoke, honor, and pray to Apollo Thearios (Apollo of the Oracle).
Oracle Consultation is an auspicious time to engage in divination. The Temple of Hyacinthus primarily engages in tarot, but any form of divination is acceptable.
