Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 26466059 United States 11/08/2012 12:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The author of The Song of the Sibyl is unknown. The prophecy was first recorded as an acrostic poem in Greek by bishop Eusebius of Caesarea and later translated into Latin by Saint Augustine in The City of God. It appeared again in the 10th century in different locations across Catalonia, Italy, Castile, and France in the sermon Contra judeos, later inserted into the reading of the sixth lesson of the second nocturn of matins and was performed as an integral part of the liturgy. This chant was originally sung in Latin and under the name of Judicii Signum, but from the 13th on, versions in Catalan are found. These early Catalan versions of the Judici Signum were not directly translated from Latin. Instead, they all come from a previous adaptation in Provençal, which proves the huge popularity this song must have had in the past. English Translation Al jorn del judici parrà qui avrà fet servici. On the day of judgment, he will be spared who has done service. Jesucrist, Rei universal, home i ver Déu eternal, del cel vindrà per a jutjar i a cada u lo just darà. Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, man and true eternal God, from Heaven will come to judge and to everyone what is fair will give. Gran foc del cel davallarà; mars, fonts i rius, tot cremarà. Daran los peixos horribles crits perdent los seus naturals delits. Great fire from the heaven will come down; seas, fountains and rivers, all will burn. Fish will scream loud and in horror. Losing their natural delights. Ans del Judici l'Anticrist vindrà i a tot lo món turment darà, i se farà com Déu servir, i qui no el crega farà morir. Before the Judgement the Antichrist will come and will give suffering to everyone, and will make himself be served like God, and who does not obey he will make die. Lo seu regnat serà molt breu; en aquell temps sots poder seu moriran màrtirs tots a un lloc aquells dos sants, Elies i Enoc. His reign will be very short; in these times under his power will die martyrs, all at once those two saints, Elijah and Enoch. Lo sol perdrà sa claredat mostrant-se fosc i entelat, la lluna no darà claror i tot lo món serà tristor. The sun will lose its lightness showing itself dark and veiled, the moon will give no light and the whole world will be sorrow. Als mals dirà molt agrament: —Anau, maleits, en el turment! anau-vos-ne en el foc etern amb vòstron príncep de l'infern! To the evil ones he will say very sourly: -Go, damned, into the torment! go inside the eternal fire with your prince of Hell! Als bons dirà: —Fills meus, veniu! benaventurats posseïu el regne que us he aparellat des que lo món va esser creat! To the good ones he will say: -My sons, come! lucky ones, you possess the kingdom I have entailed for you since the world was created! Oh humil Verge! Vós qui heu parit Jesús Infant aquesta nit, a vòstron Fill vullau pregar que de l'infern vulla'ns lliurar! Oh humble Virgin! May you who have given birth to Child Jesus in this night, to your son want to pray so he will want to keep us from Hell! [link to en.wikipedia.org] |

Already I found some good stuff Luna! lol From this notion arises the idea of being inhabited by a deity.

It happens upon and within the body. Both divine and human identities are contained within the prophetess’ body—and because they both inhabit the same space, the prophetess’ body becomes a contested space, a battleground. The battle waged is not just for control of the body, or even the life of the prophetess—it is for her very identity, and its right to exist unencumbered in her body. |

I was looking for the oldest recorded oracles or sybils. Could it have started here? I am so confused Dodona (Doric Greek: Ionic and Attic Greek: in Epirus in northwestern Greece, was an oracle devoted to a Mother Goddess identified at other sites with Rhea or Gaia, but here called Dione, who was joined and partly supplanted in historical times by the Greek god Zeus. The shrine of Dodona was regarded as the oldest Hellenic oracle, possibly dating to the second millennium BCE according to Herodotus. Situated in a remote region away from the main Greek poleis, it was considered second only to the oracle of Delphi in prestige. Priestesses and priests in the sacred grove interpreted the rustling of the oak (or beech) leaves to determine the correct actions to be taken. Aristotle considered the region around Dodona to have been part of Hellas and the region where the Hellenes originated.[2] The oracle was first under the control of the Thesprotians before it passed into the hands of the Molossians.[3] It remained an important religious sanctuary until the rise of Christianity during the Late Roman era.

How they tap into the trances so easily. Are they born to be Sybils...did they just have that power in them from the start? It's all so facinating to me lol |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 898568 United States 11/08/2012 01:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The really interesting thing about that paper is how thru historical records accounts of these feminine prophetesses are usually so different from one witness to another...and it can be misunderstood that they were preying on people's emotions yet it is more likely that the prophetess could tap into the emotive field of anyone and communicate in a way they would understand most directly which COULD be perceived as giving conflicting information but I really feel there's SO much more to it... Hope you find it as inspiring as I did... :) |

I wish you luck on your task. Concerning a starting point, the oracles more or less simultaneously manifested throughout different cultures. This is akin to seeking the first Native American or the first Chinese person. So if you're looking for the first oracle, you might want to try looking for the oldest "Egyptian oracle tradition" or the oldest "Greek oracle tradition". Perhaps then you can narrow your results and decipher your findings easier. ~How fine you look when dressed in rage. Your enemies are fortunate your condition is not permanent. You're lucky, too.
