(literally, revealer of light): The oracle is usually dressed in red and carries a sword and shield. Possessed by the spirit of the deity the oracle dances in a frenzy at the festivals in Bhagavathy temples.

Wherein we get a fair introduction to Silver "Quiksilver" Tation, not so much for Nick Delaney, who is his frenemy.
Ever since the Batgirl Pullip was announced I planned on getting two, one to keep as Batgirl and one to turn into Oracle. For non-comic fans Oracle is who Barbara Gordon aka. Batgirl becomes after being crippled at the hands of the Joker in the Killing Joke.
As the Oracle, Barbara is indispensable to the superhero community as an information broker where she relies more on her keen intellect and computer skills to fight crime in an increasingly technological world. She eventually goes on to found the Birds of Prey crime fighting team with Dinah Lance aka. Black Canary.
During the recent DC relaunch Barbara Gordon regained her ability to walk in the comics (The Killing Joke still happened but she was eventually rehabilitated and able to walk again).
D'après Belline, ces cartes auraient été dessinées entre 1845 et 18652 par Jules Charles Ernest Billaudot plus connu sous le nom de Mage Edmond (1829-1881) ; ces cartes sont un ensemble de symboles destinés à la divination qui mélangent les lames du tarot de Marseille et du premier jeu d’Etteilla. Pour certains auteurs, la correspondance et la signification des arcanes sont empruntées du livre de Paul Christian "L’homme rouge des Tuileries" paru en 1863.
Le Mage Edmond commença sa carrière au 30 rue Pierre-Fontaine.
Belline, voyant du xxe siècle qui exerça de 1950 à 1980 et qui, depuis 1955, consultait au 45 de la même rue, donna son nom au jeu qu'il aurait découvert.
D'après ses dires, une consultante qui déménageait pour se retirer à la campagne lui aurait demandé de venir prendre chez elle des documents qui pourraient l'intéresser. Il s'y serait rendu et aurait découvert ainsi des jeux de cartes et un manuscrit qui à l'époque auraient pu être daté de plus d’un siècle et auraient pu appartenir à l’un des prédécesseurs dans les lieux, le célèbre Mage Edmond voyant du xixe siècle qui en son temps aurait prédit entre autres le succès littéraire à Alexandre Dumas et l'exil à Victor Hugo.
Le Mage Edmond a créé deux jeux divinatoires : - celui de 53 cartes désigné sous le nom de l’Oracle Belline, publié en 1961 par Grimaud. - Un jeu de tarot copié sur le modèle du tarot de Marseille, de 78 cartes numérotées de 0 (le Fou) à 77 (le Dix de Denier). Ce jeu, édité pour la première fois par Belline, sous le nom "Le Grand Tarot Belline", comporte des cartes de grande taille et a été réédité par J.P. Simon, Paris.
I'm hoping to work on a small series of portraits called 'Oracles'. These are people I know that have a finger on the pulse of all the happenings in the world and have plenty to say about them. This is Derek, my first, more will follow and details in the coming weeks.

noun
1. a priest or priestess acting as a medium through whom advice or prophecy was sought from the gods in classical antiquity.
• a place at which such advice or prophecy was sought.
• a person or thing regarded as an infallible authority or guide on something : casting the attorney general as the oracle for and guardian of the public interest is simply impossible.
2. a response or message given by an oracle, typically one that is ambiguous or obscure.

Imagine if God were a Magic 8 Ball
You could ask anything
Provided it’s a yes or no question
The answer could be vague
Or not to your satisfaction
Still
It’d be nice to get some answers
If only I could figure out
How to pose the questions
I’m chock full
Yet lost to verbalize them
And none of them are Yes/No
Why is beauty so important to us, to me?
Who created units of time
And how did we become enslaved to them?
What do I need to do
To cut through all pretenses
And experience what matters most?
Where are you?
(Please don’t tell me everywhere
I want to *see* you!)
Last but heaviest on my mind
When will all this madness end?
Too many questions
None of them Yes/No
Still
It’d be nice to get some answers
Even if to someone else’s questions

You know things are bad
When you consult the Magic 8 Ball for advice.
Even worse when your 8 ball is an asshole like mine.
See for yourself:
Will I quit my job?
– Definitely not
Will I ever make a living from art?
– Outlook not good
Will I ever sell a piece?
– Don’t count on it
Am I wasting my time?
– As I see it, yes
Is my art even any good?
– It could be seen as yes
Are you a #$^&*@%?
– Better not tell you now
I rest my case.
However, it’s not all bad.
When I asked if I was going to be ok
It replied YES.
