This morning's rehearsal for tonight's performance. On the night of December 24th, the Sybil gives its prophecy.

El Cant de la Sibil·la (The Song of the Sibyl), in L'Alguer called Lo Senyal del Judici (The Sign of the Judgment), is a liturgical drama explained through song where a Sibyl (an Ancient oracle woman) prophetizes and describes the Apocalypse.

In the Middle Ages, this prophecy was performed in different parts of Southern Europe, but the Council of Trent (meeting of the Catholic Church in the years 1545-1563 to unify the Catholic response to Protestantism and its liturgy, bashing heresies) banned it because it considered it a pagan ritual. Somehow, in Mallorca and L'Alguer they continued to represent it, and has survived to this day, still with the original lyrics in Medieval Catalan that were translated from Latin in the 13th century. The most iconic moment comes at the end of the song, when the Sibyl raises her sword to draw a cross in the air.

Since the 19th century, other parts of the Catalan Countries (Catalonia and the Valencian Country) have revitalized the tradition and nowadays it's widely performed in many churches in towns and cities all around the Catalan Countries, like it once was.

In 2010, UNESCO declared Mallorca's El Cant de la Sibil·la Intangible Cultural Heritage of the world.

The taste of strawberries, sickly sweet. Jespar was looking at her with dawning horror.

“Your master was a member of the Creator’s Cult?”

“No. He was a high priest.”

The train lurched around them, as though it, too, was shocked.

“Fuck.”

---

She was frozen stiff, fear and terror and anger and love - godsdamned love - coursing through her veins and paralyzing her. Why was she like this? Disgust welled in her throat as Arantheal took her into his arms and she could do nothing, because she didn’t want to, because she wanted to be held - even by him, even considering what he wanted to do to her.

There was that fear again. Fear that she would never be free, because what had been done to her had shaped her so completely, so permanently. For all those years he’d stitched together love and hate and fear and comfort and pleasure and pain and she would never be able to untangle that mess. Never.

---

You're asking the wrong questions, child. Why should you want to save the world? Why should the world want to be saved by you?

Prophetess! Reader x MK crumb. Writing it to be a proper chapter since I'm suddenly filled with inspiration to write. Hopefully it will continue until I finish the chapter.

Adjusted the plot to align with the canon, though I have no idea where it will head. Do you guys think it'll be weird if I pair her up with one of the cast if the reader is immortal and is older than most of them?

( Wifi was shitty and I got so annoyed that I turned to writing to kill some time + I am open to criticism )

“In questioning the nature and purpose of the oracular shrines and the priestesses who gave advice, historical records, especially in Babylon and Greece, explain that they were primarily utilized for vital political, governmental and military matters. It was not only the belief that the priestesses could see into the future that made oracular divination so popular but the idea that these women were understood to be in direct communication with the deity who possessed the wisdom of the universe. It is evident from the accounts of the people who believed in prophetic revelation that they did not view the future as totally predestined and determined by uncontrollable fates but rather as something that could be acted upon, as long as one knew the most advantageous action to take. The oracular priestesses were not consulted for a firm prediction of the future but for counsel as to the best strategy, considering the situation. This advice was available at shrines all the way from Greece to Mesopotamia.

Evidence of the Goddess in Sumer, under the names such as Nina, Ininni or Inanna, suggests that divine revelation was an aspect of the religion from the most ancient times. In later Babylon, records of Queens Sibtu and Nakia revealed the importance and influence of the oracular priestesses in the political affairs of Babylon and the city of Mari. Babylonian prophetesses were known as appiltu or muhhtu. It is rather interesting that the Hebrew word zonah is at times defined as "prostitute" and at times as "prophetess."

J. Hastings wrote that in Egypt, "In the Old and Middle Kingdoms, women of important families often bear the title 'prophetess.' It was nearly always the goddesses Hathor and Neith that they served in this capacity."

D. S. Russell wrote of the prophetesses who came to be known as the Sibyls. The Sibyls were often identified with a prophetess of Anatolia, named as Sybella, whom we may suspect has some connection with the Goddess known there as Cybele. It was, in fact, the Sibyls of Rome who were responsible for having the worship of the Anatolian Cybele brought into Rome. According to Russell,

These Sibylline oracles were written during the latter half of the second century BC in Alexandria. They are imitative of the Greek Sibyls who exercised a considerable influence upon pagan thought both before and after this time. The pagan Sibyl was a prophetess who, under the inspiration of the god, was able to impart wisdom to men and to reveal to them the divine will. There were many varieties of such oracles in different countries and in Egypt in particular they came to have an increasing interest and significance.

At the temple in Jerusalem in about 620 BC, Ezekiel spoke of the women who dared to prophesy "out of their own heads." Even the much later canons of St. Patrick, who is said to have brought Christianity to "pagan" Ireland, warned against "pythonesses." Pythoness is still defined in most contemporary English dictionaries as a prophetess or witch.”

aries cancer libra capricorn • s m r v

this pisces new moon seems to have brought the realization that you are also your own twine flame & divine counterpart. spiritual wholeness with self leads to new experiences of intimacy & love coming in. there is someone who is wanting a divine partnership with you yet you seem to be shying away or unable to accept it. the sacred marriage that you seek must first begin with you. you are wanting union & partnership yet you seem disconnected from yourself. Spirit is wanting you to return home to yourself. this is the time to focus on channeling your energy into yourself & putting your ideas out into the world. i am seeing that you are usually someone that helps others achieving their goals effortlessly, yet when it is time for you to step into the spotlight, you shy away. you are so used to hiding away, behind the scenes, yet Spirit has recently taken you through a spiritual awakening in which you’ve had to face your shadow. there were some wounds you have around your purpose & worth in others’ lives. you only mission is not to heal those around you! you are not simply a temple where people come to restore their souls. you are deserving of the same healing & sweet success. & that is exactly what Spirit is bringing forth in this new lunar cycle. between now & the next new moon on April 8, you will notice more abundance flowing to you if you choose to prioritize yourself. you are needing to offer yourself the same love & safe space you give to others & you will notice it reflected back to you. embracing vulnerability is a key lesson for you right now. do not unconsciously sabotage wonderful experiences & loving relationships because of old fears of being emotionally exposed.

Today we celebrate the Holy Fathers and Mothers of the Old Testament, all who found pleasure in the sight of God from Adam the first-created up until Joseph the Betrothed of the Virgin Mary. These righteous figures are celebrated on the Sunday before Christmas as a reminder of the prophecies and preparations of the world to receive their King and Messiah. May they intercede for us always + #saint #saints #fathers #mothers #forefathers #foremothers #oldtestament #God #jesus #christ #jesuschrist #nativity #christmas #sunday #prophet #prophets #prophetess #rigtheous #adam #joseph #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Jerusalem Palestine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmSQuOPhGh-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
