Manteia

The Oracle of Rasputin Manteia

The Oracle of Rasputin is an ancient script attributed to the controversial Russian mystic and discovered by the Italian chiromancer Leopoldo Benassi, better known as Professor Manteia, from the Greek for "divination." Manteia came into possession of the Oracle in an encounter with a mysterious gentleman, deciphered the text written in Old Russian, and translated it into Italian. The first version of The Oracle of Rasputin was published in the 1960s and became an immediate success. The book contained the fascinating story of how Manteia was given the text, the explanation of the celestial alphabet used in the Oracle, the life of Grigori Rasputin, and the table of the 63 personal questions with the relevant responses given by the Oracle. The book also contained the three talismans or amulets (relating to Air, Fire, and Water) to be used in order to obtain the responses to the questions. The Oracle of Rasputin was translated into different languages and distributed in many countries, but there was never an English version until Paolo Benassi, Manteia's son, took up the mantle and delivered this latest edition.
