Geto Dacian Sacred Grotto was inhabited 3000 years ago. Was there a Getae Oracle Living at the top of Banita fortress? Let's find out. Banita was constructed by King Burebista to protect Sarmizegetusa Regia, but local legends say it was much more. The Banita fortress is on a small limestone mount called Dealul Cetatii or Dealul Bolii, with a magical stream flowing around the hillsides and a cave. Ultimately, the mountains and Grottos were associated with the Geto Dacian Goddess Bendis and Kotys (Cotys). Kotys are alike, if not identical to, Bendis; they were known as Mountain-Mothers and their caves as "womb tombs." At first, I was disappointed because I could not climb the mountain in the winter; you need special equipment, it is very steep and rocky, and even in the summer, it is advised not to go up unless you have a guide.
Unfortunately, the fortress remains were dismantled to build a train system; they used the fortress stones to support a bridge. But, the great staircase remains and some limestone blocks can still be seen at the top of the hill.
Nevertheless, I ventured into the cave and felt its healing vibration. I was excited to find a Geto Dacian sacred cave/grotto. Before Bănita, I experienced a smaller cave called Cioclovina, very close to Piatra Roșie; the experience at this location was similar, but the Boli cave was amplified with oracular and healing energy. Of course, I don't want to compare the caves as better than the others; they offer a unique experience. But Cioclovina does offer a skull from the Upper Paleolithic period dated 33 0000 years old; it's one of the oldest, somewhat complete skulls found of an early human living in Europe; it was discovered in 1941. Caves of power have been a place of healing for many societies since antiquity; it was a place of refuge where the person sought the true self. Often, one walks a pilgrimage into the cave and meditates deep into the soul. Perhaps an oracle was present; they knew the secret healing powers of the cave. Also, the oracle sourced unique crystals to amplify healing, creating fires to burn plant medicines and applying the sacred waters to make elixirs to heal disease.Caves of power have been a place of healing for many societies since antiquity; it was a place of refuge where the person sought the true self.

Also, the oracle sourced unique crystals to amplify healing, creating fires to burn plant medicines and applying the sacred waters to make elixirs to heal disease. In addition, caves, in general, were symbolic openings to the Earth's womb. During King Burebitsa, the Getae Dacians were involved in Goddess cults and worship; we call this a matriarchy in our present time. Besides, I discovered this by studying their architecture, monuments and treasures; I was surprised by the vast esoteric-Goddess information scribed in these items. Of course, the Getae had oracles and military stations on hilltops or mountains to accommodate pilgrims and seekers of wisdom and intervention for infertility, sickness, and misfortunes. Conclusively, prophets, priests, priestesses and oracles worked under the king and advisers to serve as an outlet for the pilgrims and seekers to voice their concerns.
The next question I asked myself was the Oracle a man or woman? In my opinion, Banita was too small to host a group of prophets, so it implied one person and local legend says it was a man. Unfortunately, the tale does not mention an oracle, but it speaks about a sick Geto Dacian man who wandered into the Boli cave and was healed by its waters. However, he climbs the hill, becomes tired, connects to Zamolxis and stays on the mount, never returning down. I agree with this story for several reasons; Mount Dealul Cetatii, or Dealul Bolii, was a military lookout and home for an oracle. In addition, the person living up top could have been used to sound an alarm if he did see intruders wandering through the valley. Conclusively, I met many oracles during my travels with similar tales I heard here in Romania. Also, I was fortunate enough to sit with Oracles and prophets; they will never publish a book or teach at seminars and workshops; you will never find them on Google, Facebook and Instagram. You can't seek them out; they seek you. Boldly, certain oracles never leave their area; they have visions and send a disciple to seek the person they viewed, but a few ventures down from hilltops, caves, desserts or forests for special occasions.
I experienced an oracle-shaman in Mexico while in the Yucatan; I was on a bus, and a woman boarded and asked me to come with her. A shaman had a vision of me; she sent me to him to receive ancient Mayan secrets and initiations. Also, a Brahman who lived in the forest came to me while I lived in Toronto; he had visions of passing his yogic lineage. During my studies in Egypt, a desert dweller had an idea and taught me about the plants that grow atop Moses Mountain. Plus, In Peru, I was hiking through Cuzco; a Shaman from the Chavin Lineage sent a messenger to find me in the village; he had a vision of serving me San Pedro and the mysteries of his ancestors. Lastly, I was on tour in the Turkish desert; a man came and took me up into one of the mountains during sunset; he said I was to receive ancient Persian knowledge through our meditation. Not once did the oracles ask me for money. These are a few examples of my experiences with visionaries, so I believe in Boli cave and Banita; these legends are a reality and were also for the Hyperborean-Aryan and Getae-Dacians. On the Hero's path, one is called to wander the unknown depths of their natural cave to slay the darkness inside. Thracian mythology has many icons and demigods riding on horses; these days, we see this manifest in art inside churches and cathedrals like Angel Michael and St. George. I touched on this subject while researching the Thracian cult artifacts; you can read more in the''Immortals of Zamolxis'' section on the website. Finally, I would like to conclude with a paper I wrote in Romania about the Hero that aligns with the pilgrim's path; it may clarify one's journey while venturing onto drumul spre Burebista.
Language created the urge to understand dilemmas. But, unfortunately, the byproduct of language is gossip, idle chit-chat, plus useless conversation, resulting in the depletion of Prana, Mana and life force. Prana is the Life Force in our Body; Mana is the Life Force of the Mind/Aura. Although the lack of energetic components affects us physically, the end result of disease is related to the confusion of Mind/Aura; first, we must establish what the Mind can be. Therefore, the Mind, also known as Aura or mental imagery, consumes needless intellectual complexity, producing realms of slow disengagements from the truth. Also, the Mind hinders the Natural Navigation of human biological design that directs us to where challenges really are, such as material attachment from cultural-driven belief systems. In short, cultural analysis (Critic) created uncertain perceptions of the Spiritual Essence found in the archetype of the Hero. The effect of culture is quite simple: we begin to lie to ourselves, uprooting truths of sustainable spiritual information built upon open-source formats. For example, the Oral tradition of Storytelling and adapting personal archetypes like the mythos.
In General mental imagery, our Aura understands the simple concepts of the Hero, like solving dilemmas and instilling a solid, energetic field. The outcome is a deep spiritual connection to the realm of Mana; ideas stem from Magic in the form of symbols & archetypes. So, the Hero draws its power from Magic, which is Universal-Nature, not from Icons. Unfortunately, the majority are not educated on how to charge the essence of Mana into the Aura; instead, they direct their focus on being somebody and multitasking to attain something. Subsequently, the more we are driven by exterior values, our inner values are starved. In the future, for the few, the cloak we wear to shroud our internal force will be lifted; spiritual theory will manifest into action, the physical plane will lack enjoyment, and we will evolve from connections to material Icons.
From a scientific and spiritual premise, multitasking ideas depletes the Organism’s dopamine inhibitors. Further, language presents the illusion that the Mind and brain are the same; they are not. The brain functions step by step; it may seem like multitasking because of its fast processing abilities, but it is not the Mind. When the individual begins to multitask and use language (Mind), it interferes with the vital mechanisms of our body and brain and depletes Mana and Prana from the Aura. Conclusively, there is no true Intellect because intellect is the property of the Mind, not the Organism. Ultamilty, thinking, or ideas are collective, not individual. Finally, the individual is understood as the Organism, and the Organism is the property of the Earth and the environment; it is not something you can own. In other words, you are already that which you are attaining.
The mind is the "almighty extreme alchemist," no matter what belief system we subscribe to, the outcome is the same for everyone, spinning and weaving webs of attraction. Whether conscious or unconscious, we're in a state of thought (ideas) and Language (refers to words). Therefore, we practice sorcery daily, banishing and invoking elemental forces, spirits, and enchantments on all planes, times, and dimensions. Consequently, if we become unconscious of our alchemy or sorcery, we will blame the effects of our spells (manifestations) on someone or something else. So the question is, how do we become conscious? Individuality implies one way out of ideological traps, and the second is limiting complexity, material and spiritualism. Further, we must be careful of current consumption and its stresses on the individual domains. Fundamentally, the higher vibrational ley-lines require our palate (Roof of Mouth) to grow conscious in diet, social constructs and media. Unfortunately, disease and addiction run rampant through animal consumption; our Human Organism feels the depths of these effects. As a result, when eating animal products in excess, socially mixed with tobacco and alcoholic beverages, we invoke addiction and fear, manifesting into our sorcery-magic (communication). To mature, purify and perfect the Human Organism, we aim towards the alchemical process of Language; this involves analyzing meaning (relationship) and context (circumstances).
During this period of linguistic exploration, I suggest minimizing mainstream tobacco and stopping the word "alcohol." Consuming alcoholic substances can induce serious spiritual consequences by seducing the Science of Language into invoking babbling sorcery beyond comprehension. Besides, the term "alcohol" in Arabic, "al-Kuhl," means "body-eating spirit." The English version is "ghoul." The "ghoul" serves as the Evil Spirit that devours the Human Body & Soul; thus, certain alcoholic beverages are called "spirits." In addition, magic or sorcery is rooted in thought and speech (Vocal expression of Language); if one wants to continue understanding Mana's concepts, I suggest limiting porn, sexual fantasy, and the worship of spiritual and material icons. Instead, speak in specific ways without addiction so that our words harmonize with our conscious and unconscious intentions to manifest and generate a full spectrum of purity via human life in this way.
In conclusion, the ideas of symbols and archetypes are at the forefront of our success as a species; thus, we become more aware of what the body can offer as the key reference point to Human Nature. The Earth can be a stage for the "theatre of archetypes," each archetype embodies a purpose or calling; still, it seems the central concept or main task is to attain the archetype of the Hero that lives within the essence of Sorcery, Magic and the Magician.
