There is a season the oracle has pointed her divinity rod at. What season, we do not know. What we do know is that the season is nearer than we think. It may even be now, or it may be much later. We are not certain. What we are certain is that this season is for our own time.

There is a way, the oracle has pointed her divinity rod at. What way, we are not sure. What we can clearly say is that this way is not the way we have always known.
