The Oracle of Delphi was never doubted and she was considered the most accurate of all the oracles.
The Oracle was a female priestess called Pythia.
Before she would answer, the Pythia would prepare herself, ritually and speak in ecstatic utterances.
Some of her words still survive.
"Make your own nature,
not the advice of others,
your guide in life."
Words to Cicero on how to find the greatest fame.

We should have oracles to consult with in our time. I guess though in a sense we do. And of course there's the internet.
