Delphi Portal

THE BLURB:
A hand-crafted set of oracular tools for the discriminating
psychic practitioner

The DELPHI PORTAL may very well be one of the most unique
offerings to come out of the Pro Shop to date, and for the
working professional who's looking for that special
something to set themselves apart from the competition, this
is just about perfect. Custom-made in limited quantities,
the DELPHI PORTAL is a set of divinatory tools that can be
used as suggested in the 80-page manual that accompanies it,
or used as a launch point for your own creative ideas.

And since I have no idea how you're going to use the DELPHI
PORTAL, let's take a look at the individual pieces that make
up this fortune-teller's toolkit ...

The DELPHI PORTAL Box

Measuring 8" x 8.5" x 1-7/8", the wooden DELPHI PORTAL box
is hand-stained and finished to give the appearance of an
antique artifact that is sure to capture the attention of
audiences and clients. Prominently displayed on the top of
the box is the mystical Seal of Solomon surrounded by the
letters of the alphabet and the numbers 1 - 9.

This graphic arrangement makes the box a natural "talking
board", and perfectly suited for Ouija-like divination. In
addition, the closed box is designed as a mini-stage for
readings of any length when used in combination with the
Seven Seals Reading System (more about this in a moment).

The top of the DELPHI PORTAL box is designed so it can stay
in an upright position, allowing you a little bit of privacy
in close-up situations or for the placement of cue sheets to
be used when your memory starts to go (like after the 20th
reading of the day).

Inside, you'll find a decorative cloth lining that can be
removed and used as a mini-closeup pad on top of the closed
box in those situations where the Seal of Solomon design
might be considered a bit distracting.

Although the DELPHI PORTAL box is compact in nature, there
is plenty of room for additional props or accessories, such
as cards, crystals, and other divinatory aids.

In fact, even if all you used the DELPHI PORTAL box for was
to transport your props, it would be enough to set you apart
from the rest of the crowd. Using the Seven Seals Reading
System, however, will definitely put you at the head of the
pack ...

THE SEVEN SEALS READING SYSTEM

At the heart of the DELPHI PORTAL is the Seven Seals Reading
System. The Seven Seals are a set of hand-crafted wooden
disks that feature an ancient-looking version of the Zener
ESP symbols (plus two additional symbols). These symbols are
designed to provide you with visual cues for multi-layered
readings that are guaranteed to be different from anything
your clients may have experienced in the past, and
automatically create a mystical ambience when you bring them
out.

As if the esoteric symbols on the face of the Seven Seals
weren't enough, the backs are designed in such a way that
you'll be able to identify in a moment what symbol is in
play at any time, opening up a world of possibilities for
both readings and theatrical presentations.

And since it wouldn't do to transport the Seven Seals in
just any old bag, we came up with ...

THE SHAMAN BAG

This hand-crafted cloth bag was especially-designed to be
used with the DELPHI PORTAL and fits perfectly flat in the
box. Designed to hold a full-size Tarot deck, the Shaman Bag
is also big enough to have someone reach in and randomly
select the Seven Seals that will foretell their future.

What makes the Shaman Bag truly unique is that it is
designed to also function as a locking change bag, which
means that with the proper management, it can be placed in
the hands of audience members and clients.

I know people who have searched for years for something like
this, and when I couldn't find anything either, there was no
alternative but to create it myself.

But enough about the Shaman Bag (I'm sure you're already
thinking of what you can do with it), let's talk about ...

THE DELPHIC ORACLE TICK CARDS

As one of the premier sources for BOR products and tick
sheets, it only made sense to create a Pro Shop tick card to
accompany the DELPHI PORTAL. Designed to fit in the Shaman
Bag, the Delphic Oracle Tick Cards feature cues for the
Seven Seals Reading System, a place for notes that you jot
down during a reading, and room for your own contact
information on the back. These cards are the perfect
giveaway for readings and walkaround, and like any tick
card, will act as your silent marketing tool long after your
appearance.

Included in the DELPHI PORTAL set are 10 samples plus a
hard-copy camera-ready master template that you can take to
the local copy shop, which means you'll be ready in no time
at all.

And, for those who prefer to do their own desktop
publishing, a Microsoft Word 2003 customizable template is
available for download to everyone who purchases the DELPI
PORTAL set.

As if that weren't enough, the DELPHI PORTAL set also
includes ...

THE ORACLE'S KEY

This is exactly what it appears to be ... a pendulum
fashioned from an antique-looking key, complete with its own
drawstring carrying bag. But if you've ever used a pendulum
in your readings or performances, you already know what an
impact something as visual as this can have on your
presentations. Two potential uses spring to mind
immediately:

• Presentational cover while examining the face-down Seven
Seals

• Use with the Seal of Solomon talking board feature

THE DELPHI PORTAL MANUAL

As suggested at the beginning, the DELPHI PORTAL is designed
to be used as a set of tools to enhance your own readings
and presentations. To help get you started, I've written the
DELPHI PORTAL Manual, an 80-page collection of ideas and
presentations that explores the many possibilities available
with the individual components of the DELPHI PORTAL,
including example readings, suggested handlings, historic
background and theory.

Here's a partial listing of the contents of the DELPHI
PORTAL manual:

• The DELPHI PORTAL Tools

• The SEVEN SEALS Reading System

• The Delphic Journey Meditation

• "Your Lucky Star"

• "Other Archetypal Forces"

• "Warm Fuzzy Symbols"

• "Symbol Psychic Thoughts"

• History: The Oracle of Delphi

• Commentary: Archetypes, Symbols & Numbers

• Additional Resources section

Combining the DELPHI PORTAL tools with the ideas in the
manual, you'll have everything you need for uniquely
memorable presentations including close-up, private
readings, platform, lectures, workshops, psychic home
parties, guided trance work, and more.

Sounds good, yes? There is, however, a catch ...

How Many DELPHI PORTALS Are There?

Well, first the bad news: because of the extremely
labor-intensive hours that go into the making of every
DELPHI PORTAL set, I can tell you right now there won't be
many of these made. There just aren't enough hours in the
day for me to crank these out in any kind of quantity and
continue to create new products, and I'm too much of a
control freak to relinquish that responsibility to anyone
else.

And now, the good news: there won't be many of these made.
Meaning, of course, that the chances of you showing up at
the next psychic fair and finding everyone else sporting
dueling DELPHI PORTALS are very slim (if not downright
unlikely).

Caveat Emptor(s)

PLEASE -- pay very close attention to the following:

• UNIQUENESS. Each DELPHI PORTAL set is unique, from the way
each box is stained, to the type of material used for the
Shaman Bag, and the type of key that is used for the
Oracle's Key pendulum. The photographs above are
representative of what you'll receive in that the box will
be stained, the bag will be made of dark fabric, and the key
will appear old, but because of the uncertainties of
obtaining exactly the same materials for every set, I just
can't guarantee that your DELPHI PORTAL set will look
exactly like the one pictured here.

• DELIVERY. As I said above, many hours go into the making
of the DELPHI PORTAL set, and if I don't have any in stock,
it may be two or three weeks before I can get yours ready to
ship. Regardless of whether yours is going out immediately
or in three weeks, I will email you and let you know what to
expect. If the expected ship date is not acceptable to you,
I will issue you an immediate refund.

• TICK CARD TEMPLATE. The DELPHI PORTAL set comes with a
hard-copy camera-ready master template for the Delphic
Oracle Tick Cards. The digital version is available via
download once you've purchased the DELPHI PORTAL set, BUT if
you don't own a copy of Microsoft Word 2003 (or higher), you
won't be able to modify the template.

you place a reservation now, you can have your very own
Delphi Portal for only $250.

MY COMMENTS:
There is absolutely no question that this beautiful prop is
an essential tool for anyone who does readings. It is a
gorgeous looking box that actually does far more than just
hold all your favorite props for readings. It is a Ouija
board (you get a wood planchette included, too), a pendulum
chart, and a table for readings. And it's small enough to
fit into a briefcase with all your paperwork (ticksheets,
brochures, etc.). If there's anything that I can find to
quibble with this extraordinary package, it's that the
80-page manual which is jam-packed with ideas and
presentations is too short. Other than that, the blurb is
mostly accurate in its description of what's included in
this package (it doesn't mention the two terrifically
looking faux ancient coins and three small, different
colored bags that come with it). This is certainly a
limited issue item and, if you're a reader or want to be,
you don't want to wait. Get it now so that you won't miss
out on the opportunity of getting this.
