Over time the spirit of the Oracle went from host to host, eventually arriving in America. Even in ancient times, people would come from all over Greece and beyond to see the Oracle, who would speak the prophecies of Apollo. The most common way for a prophecy to be told is from an oracle, most notably the Oracle of Delphi. It is also said that trying to figure out what a prophecy means or trying to force a prophecy to come to pass may result in disaster. Also, those with the ability to see the future are unable to reveal what a prophecy means, as giving the answer would make the answer irrelevant (meaning that the events in the prophecy could change if the events are told). Prophecies can appear in a number of ways, but almost all are cryptic and their true meaning will not become clear until after the events of the prophecy have come to pass.
