How does the Dodona oracle work?

Answer 1

you mean were the earth goddess, and Zeus were worshipped? In Greece?

One method of divination used at Dodona was for the bare-footed priestesses to listen to the sound of the wind through the trees. Modern-day visitors can try the same process - I did. I stood quietly as the wind rustled the leaves and bird. some spots really do have the power to uplift and transform their visitors.

But simple wind divination grew too boring for the ancient practitioners and worshippers at this site. About twenty-eight hundred years ago, this process was made more sophisticated, and bronze cauldrons on tripods were set up so that when the wind blew, the cauldrons would touch, emitting a bell-like sound which was said to be the Voice of Zeus.
