Invoking signs and messages, through a Living Oracle exercise is referred to as casting the oracle. Unlike noticing random signs, this is a communication and dialogue with invisible forces and with the world around you. Igniting your personal power and awakening you to the magic hidden within the mundane and everyday, casting the oracle places you in the center of its activity.
The process begins by asking for the presence of a higher power of love and wisdom to guide and direct the oracle. This higher power may be your own soul and higher self. The heavens and divine forces open wide when we make a sincere request.
At times you may want to invoke just one sign for guidance, comfort or connection with a higher power and presence. The Temple Of Spirit is a one sign oracle. It is reminiscent of the ancient oracle temples of Greece who were devoted to the Mother Goddess. The goddess was said to speak through the oracle, giving direction and guidance to those who had waited in long lines to enter the temple.
In the Temple Of Spirit exercise there is no pre-determined amount of time for the casting of the oracle. It begins when you make the request and ends when you receive a sign. Similar to the other exercises, begin by becoming aware of the area of concern or question that you would like addressed. Keep it simple and open ended. Do not ask for a yes or no answer. With a one sign oracle, a more direct request will invoke a more clear response. You can also cast this oracle for general guidance or to deepen your connection with the goddess or a higher power.
Similar to the Sign Signature Oracle, it can be helpful to create a small altar indoors or outside to help you to focus your intent and request. Place on the altar any objects or pictures that represent a higher loving presence or the goddess. You might also want to place flowers or a candle on the altar. With an open hearted request for assistance, send a love and thought message into the spirit realm. Let go of your expectations and ask for guidance that is in your highest good.
When you feel as if your request is complete. Send gratitude for the guidance soon to come your way and gather the altar.
After you have completed the request, be aware and alert to the emergence of a sign or message. Go about your normal routines being mindful of the presence of a sign. Although you may not be completely certain when and if you perceive is a sign, trust your first impression.
