0:00.0	Hey everyone. Welcome back to Seeking Witchcraft. I'm your host, Ashley, and today I have on Oracle
0:05.2	Hicatios to discuss the Minoan Brotherhood. Welcome to the show. Would you mind telling the listeners a little
0:11.0	bit about yourself? Hi. Thank you so much for inviting me on here. I really appreciate the
0:16.4	opportunity to talk about the Minoan Brotherhood. My name's Oracle, Oracle Hicatios. I am a third-degree high priest
0:26.5	or Minos in the Minoan Brotherhood. I am also a high priest in other traditions of witchcraft.

1:47.0	And then shortly after he helped his then high priestess in the New York Coven of Witches, Lady Rea,
