What if divination isn’t fortune-telling—but a way to reconnect humans, nature, and the divine? In this episode, Isis Indriya (Academy of Oracle Arts) and Alex W1SE unpack Ancient Egyptian wisdom, oracular arts, and practical rituals you can use today.

Isis Indriya shares how a childhood shaped by matriarchs in Guam, a longing to commune with the unseen, and years of ritual practice led her to Ancient Egypt (Kemet) and the oracular path. She reframes “divination” as a living technology for maintaining harmony among the human world, the natural world, and the divine—and explains why Maat (cosmic truth/order) remains a compass for modern life. We explore the Academy of Oracle Arts, its mission to honor indigenous and mystery teachings, and the way temple architecture, light, and pilgrimage encode memory. Isis breaks down key Kemet ideas—Netjer (divine forces), the Jedi spine (Djed), the weighing of the heart, negative/affirmative confessions, and regenerative culture—along with simple practices: water prayers, purification, Blue Lotus ceremony, and daily silence. Finally, she invites us into “ancestral future” work: tending lineage, protecting imagination, building community, and choosing joy as activism. If you’re curious about cross-cultural wisdom with real-world application, start here.

*Key Takeaways* Divination/oracular arts = relational technology, not fortune-telling Maat: cosmic truth/order as a daily practice Kemet cosmology: Netjer, Djed (Jedi), weighing of the heart, regeneration Rituals you can use: water prayers, purification, Blue Lotus, daily silence Pilgrimage/temple time = reactivating memory for a regenerative future
