#the salty ocean air is a pleasant fragrance as far as i'm concerned

sorry but if you think the pythia was just some woman high on natural gas you're ngmi
#i roll my eyes so hard whenever someone posits some kind of drug as explanation#they're basically telling on themselves#admitting they've never had a religious experience#or any kind of altered state of consciousness that wasn't drug induced#they're spiritually dead and/or lack imagination#also apollo revealed to me that the pythia wasn't getting high on natural gas#idiots whenever someone is inspired: quick we must find scientific explanation!!! the scientific answer is drugs!!!#not that you even need to take my personal revelation at face value to know this#it's common sense#there were so many oracles in ancient greece and not all of them were located at caves#so what is the explanation for these? were these all getting high too?#no?#then why couldn't that also be the case for pythia?#or whatever prophets in other religions and cultures in general?#do we just assume every prophet is just someone who is high?#it's so fucking superficial#people will mention that plutarch talked about some pleasant fragrance and that the oracle would seem intoxicated as if on a drug#like there aren't other possibly pleasant fragrances in nature#the salty ocean air is a pleasant fragrance as far as i'm concerned#or the smell after it rains#or just wet earth in general#and yeah altered states of consciousness are probably going to share resemblance whether induced by drugs or not
