We dont teach pastoral counseling. You learn a bit of that by working with your own group in that capacity, but its not somethign we teach outright. Basically the rest of the roots (our clergy) are there as support and to ask questions on how they handle things, but generally its a jump in with both feet type of thing for that. We do teach a bit of Oracular Trance in the liana year. Its a type of divine channelling for us and we have used it before. I have done it many a time channelling Apollo. Often, the real art is in deciphering the message. Like in times gone by, I am sure that was the challenge as well :)
