Description
Askion is a six week course in the historical art of gaining oracles and casting lots, utilizing the ancient words of power called the “Ephesia Grammata” by historians and scholars of the occult. These special words were used in ancient times as a means of divination; the history behind the words themselves, and the doorways of mystical communication they open, are both profound topics waiting to come to life again in the minds and souls of people today.
This is a comprehensive course covering every aspect of theory and practice in gaining messages from the Unseen World, using a special form of the Ephesia Grammata sacred to the Queen of the Underworld and the spirits who serve her.
An entire complete system of divination using special lot-sticks, along with complete and detailed instructions in their creation and use, will be offered to those who engage this course.
Robin Artisson will be joining the course participants in six weekly lessons including dozens of photographs and illustrations, question-and-answer discussions, and lengthy, informative essays regarding the topics of Astragalomancy, the nature and use of oracles, trance induction, the use of the body in sensing and contacting spirits, the special rituals required to enliven and awaken oracles, the history and esoteric meanings of the Ephesia Grammata, the many ancient and esoteric alphabets that can be used to create the lots or slats of wood or bone used in divination (along with the letters from each alphabet needed for them), the use of blood in empowering lots and oracles, and the use of oracles not only as divination methods, but as means of devotion to the invisible forces that influence all human affairs.
Those who attend this course and engage its work fully will each create a powerful talismanic set of lot-sticks that will serve them for the rest of their lives as a means of gaining divinatory messages from the Unseen world.
This course’s content will be shared via written modules, online Q&A sessions, photo demonstrations, and online discussions in a private FaceBook group. Enjoy the benefits of Robin’s direct guidance and instruction in this rare opportunity to create your own sorcerously enlivened oracle.
