Prophecy, Oracles, Fate and Tarot

Do Tarot readings set in motion self-fulfilling prophecies? Can Oracles create action? Rachel Pollack and David Vine’s translation of Sophocles’s play Oedipus Tyrannus provides the theme for this presentation.

The story of Oedipus revolves around a human desire to control destiny and the tragedy lies in the actions which follow the god Apollo’s predictions through the Oracle at Delphi. As Rachel says in the introduction to the translation, the predictions “do not force anyone’s behavior, but they create the very conditions that lead to that behavior”.

Don’t miss this opportunity to explore,  in the context of Tarot readings, the themes of fate, destiny and prophecy that the story of Oedipus raises.
