DELPHIC means, “relating to Delphi” ... Delphi was the site of the temple of the oracles of the god Apollon. He built his temple at the “navel of the world” and pilgrims came from all over the ancient world to hear the rhyming riddles of the priestesses of Delphi. Their prophecies were couched in poetry and could be interpreted incorrectly if the heart of the supplicant was impure.
