Delphi - The last oracle


Delphi

Apollo squinted in the bright sunlight and calmly tensed his muscles as he pulled his bow. He released his arrows one after the other until Python's blood was spilled and his life escaped in the thin air. Python-dragon,the faithful guardian of Ge's sacred ground, had guarded the hill for hundreds of years until his encounter with "far-reaching" Apollo. The new god despite his serene nature, or perhaps because of it, was triumphant in the epic battle, and with his victory he gained the right to call the rolling slopes of Delphi his sanctuary.

The Oracle of Delphi


Placed in the center of Greece, north of the Gulf of Corinth, the sanctuary of Apollo in Delphi represented, for centuries, the most sought and famous oracle of the ancient world. The spiritual influence and the magic connotations the oracle caused in the mind of the people made the city located at the base of the Parnassos Mountain to be considered an "omphalos" (center of the world) of the antiquity. The Greek mythology says that Zeus released two eagles to fly into the heights from the both ends of the Universe. The meeting place of the eagles, over the rocks called Phadriade (the Shinning Ones), Rose and Hot, on the Parnassus Mountain, was considered the central point of the world.

DECLARATION - The Apollonian Spirit

“I am the primeval Apollonian spirit that came down from snow-covered peaks of history, the Male reason, the upright Doric order, the mythical old-age Law. I am the source of spiritual Radiation, Harmony, Discipline, Simplicity, and of fundamental Autonomy of every soul and people. I am the source of perfect Memory. I represent “to know thyself” and “nothing in excess”. I am the Golden Section, the Tetrad and the Anvil.
