The Oracle

THE ORACLE, is an active, black and red marble sculpture. Charged with mystery and karmic energy, she sits in a Mexican, Baja onyx “nest,” perched over a Mojave, marble, “Earth,” and answers, “Yes/No,” questions by spinning, and pointing. If the needle stops at the beak (front) the answer is, “Yes”; if the spinning needle stops at the tail, the answer is, “No.” if the needle stops at the 45 (or 275) degree point, a clear, “Maybe,” is indicated; however, if the needle stops below the 45/275 degree, point on the sides, the answer is a clear, “ ‘Nay’ ” be.” = Maybe, not.

Caution: THE ORACLE is not a frivolous item: Once invoked, her answers (while interpretable) are final, non-negotiable, and strictly confidential. Please engage with humility.
