New Daughters of the Oracle: The Return of Female Prophetic Power in Our Time

by Virginia Adair

In the mid-1990s, Atlanta, Georgia-based portrait painter Virginia Adair traveled the world over, interviewing 43 female psychics and healers randomly chosen from 15 countries as far apart as Indonesia and Argentina. Through her interviews with women psychics of various cultures, we learn their life histories, the nature and limitations of their paranormal abilities, and their value systems. Ms. Adair seeks to understand the phenomena from a scientific point of view, citing contemporary scientists and philosophers. She wonders if the growing incidence of female paranormal power signals the start of an evolutionary leap forward.

Not scientific at all but isn't it time for a return to gods larger than science? Can't deny the universal themes between the women in this book, and countless like them, that simply see what others cannot. If I am color blind does that mean the color red does not exist?
